My Michael Jackson Memory

The news of Michael Jacksons sudden death is still sinking in.

My best memory of Michael was at the Killer Thriller Party in London, June 2002. The previous day we had headed to Exeter, where Michael was appearing at the football ground but had got stuck in a 4 hour traffic jam and so had to turn back.

The next day Michael was appearing in London at The Killer Thriller Party put together by King of Pop magaizine. He appeared on stage and spoke to his excited audience and watched the show from a balcony in the nightclub. Just seeing him standing on stage was a truly a magical experience and that I'll never forget. There was just an amazing aura about him seeing him in person. The child prodigy and adult Thrilling Superstar.

However, when the party was over many of the fans, myself and my wife included decided to hang around. It was a no brainer Michael was still in view on the balcony!!!

After a few minutes he came over to the edge of the balcony, probably because fans were calling or chanting. He started waving at a few of us excited fans. My wife was calling out "Thankyou Michael"!! "Thankyou Michael". It waslike he really appreciated the fans adoration.

Fans directlly below the balcony were trying to pass Michael gifts or banners and Michael was reaching down to get them. Some he couldnt reach so he climbed over the balcony!!!! He then started really reaching down to the mega excited fans. His security looked amazed and worried trying to grab hold of him to stop him falling.

It was a spontaneous act by Michael. The fans loved it. I loved it.

Many other fans have personal stories of meeting Michael or being sent Pizzasby him when waiting outside his hotel.

If you in a state of grief of feeling down it can help to write down and share your memories. Whether they are of seeing Michael in person or just relating to his music or performances.

Michael Jackson has died Aged 50

The La Times have confirmed Michael Jackson is dead at the age of 50.

Since hearing this other news sources are also confirming the death of the King of Pop.

Im currently in a state of unbelieving, hoping its not true, but as time passes over the last 1 hour 30 minutes it seems more likely it is true.

Is Michael Jackson Dead???????

11pm here in the UK and a text comes through saying they have heard news Michael Jackson is dead, is this true?

I quickly looked on the internet and it seems TMZ are reporting Michael Jackson was rushed into hospital and has been pronouced dead.

Quickly with Sky News and they have live footage of the hospital and are saying is as of yet unconfirmed but that TMZ are usually pretty on the ball with this kind of celebrity news especially in the Los Angeles region.

Im just hoping this is all untrue.

Shaheen Jafargholi singsMichael Jackson Whos Loving you

One of the best acts on this weeks Britains Got Talent was by 12 year old Shaheen Jafargholi from Wales. He starts out with Valerie by Amy Winehouse and the crowd were enjoying it. However, Simon Cowell stops the performance and asks him to perform a more suitable song, ((he must have known the boy had this back up)) and Shaheen sings Michael Jackson Whos Loving You and literally blows everyone away, myself included. Wow. Hes very good!!! One to watch in later rounds if he picks the right songs.


Now watch the real maestro Michael Jackson in this live Jackson 5 performance:

Truly amazing!!!

Michael Jackson Dancing Darth Vader on Britains Got Talent

One of the featured acts on this weeks Britains Got Talent was a 37 year old guy dressed as Darth Vader complete with mask, breathing voice box and light sabre. He was introduced as you would expect to the theme from Star Wars, however I couldnt help noticing the Michael Jackson white glitter glove and then later the black shoes white socks and Billie Jean trousers.

When it came to his perfomance waving his light sabre around he got 2 quick red buzzers from Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden. He then stopped and asked the sound crew to put on the next track which was Billie Jean and then proceed to do the dance moves, albeit pretty badly, but the overall effect with the Darth vader dress up was all quite amusing. The audience seemed to love it.
Although it did seem he run out of moves after just over 30 seconds which was a shame.

Watch the Dancing Michael Jackson Darth Vader and/or watch Michaels first mind blowing performance of this Billie Jean dance

If the guy polishes up the act it might be quite good but wil obviously lackl the surprise element. To be honest Im surprised he got through and Piers Morgan thinking he was a good dancer, just about sums up Piers abililty for spotting talent.

Michael Jackson Tickets Sold Out

All general tickets have sold out within just a few hours. One Million Tickets sold out!!!!!

Bit disappointing could only get 4 tickets per household, as fans like myself would surely like to go as many nights as possible.

There are a few Thriller Hospitality tickets available still, there are around £770- £795 each and include the best seats in the house.

Demand has been phenomenal. People who I never knew were fans, don't often go to concerts in general are out to get tickets. Why, because its "Michael Jackson!!!".

Michael Jackson O2 Arena Tickets on General Sale

There's now a total of 50 dates on the Michael Jackson This Is It Tour at the London O2 Arena. Who would have thought Michael would have agreed to that many dates.
