Michael supports David gest in "Im a Celebrity get Me Out of Here"

Contestants of the Uk version of "Im a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here" recieved letters from friends and family, of which highlights were aired tonight in the UK.

David Gest received a message from Tito Jackson, which also included reference that he had been told by brother Michael that he had watched the show while in London recently, and that David had come along way and he wants him to win. He also said "rather you than me".

Michael was of course best man at the wedding of David and Liza Minelli, (who are no longer together).

Earlier this week David told the excited celebrity camp a story about Michael, David said:

"We’ve been best friends since we were 13 or 14. He’s totally different to how he is in interviews. He doesn’t have this soft voice (did impression of Michael), he is much more assertive and strong in real life."

"I’ll tell you a funny story. We were at a Four Tops concert and Stevie Wonder was sat next to us and Levi from the Four Tops came over. I said: 'The Four Tops are the greatest'."

Michael said to Levi: "I learned everything I know from you."

And then Stevie Wonder, and he’s blind, picked Michael up and said: "Who did you learn everything from? Who’s the greatest singer in the World?"

And Michael said: "You Stevie, you!"

Whether this is a true story I have no idea, its amusing nonetheless. David is certainlt told some other much more funny and obviously (not) "true stories" since being in the camp.

David has been a very good entertaining and funny character on the show. He certainly has the attributes to leave potential winner and King of the Jungle!

Swedish Fans WMA story

I have been fortunate enough today to recieve a great story and pictures from Cindy about her Michael Jackson WMA Experience.
Cindy is a fan from Sweden and her on her trip her dream came true of seeing Michael Jackson for the first time, and this wasn't including seeing him at the World Music Awards.
She was also one of the fans to recieve a Pizza courtesy of Michael Jackson. He really looks out for his fans. I hope to get more fan stories in the future added to the site, as this is one side of him that is never portayed in the media.

MJ in London and the fans

I've been catching up today on various stories that fans have of the last few days in London. I'm hoping to get permission to add a few to my site to show a different view of teh event other than that broadcast by the media.
Some fans reported how yesterday they sat close to Michael Jackson and his 3 "unmasked" children and watched the show of Mary Poppins.
Another fan reported how a group of them had a pizza delivery van arrive courtesy of Michael Jackson.
Other fans had or missed chances to see him. On a sour note some fans didn't have such a good time, some got squashed and crushed in all the mayhem. The fan in question, actually questioned the safety of Michaels own children, she feared that if fans ever did get cose to Michael and his family what kind of accident might happen?

It is amazing that even today Michael Jackson can generate such scenes of fan chaos. These aren't just old fans, they are a new generation.
He has after all released only 1 studio album of new material in 10 years. Is it any wonder he doesn't lead a normal life?

WMA Awards 2006 - The Aftermath

I've only seen clips of the World Music Awards on BBC and Sky News as well as some fan footage uploaded to YouTube, here you can watch WMA videos.

The media have been having a field day and can't help put a negative on everything.
I got a phone call this morning from BBC 5 Live asking if as owner of this website I would be interested in taking part in a discussion, I told them I was to busy and not interested. Which is true, but I'm also fed up with all the negatives.

I believe that for Michael Jackson this was simply an appearance to collect an award.
We heard no reports from Michael Jackson that he was to perform. The media simply hyped this up into one big comeback performance, something it simply was never intended to be.

On the World Music Awards Website it states "Michael Jackson will be appearing on stage as part of a spectacular tribute to Thriller." So it clearly doesn't say he will be performing. Ok, he didn't appear on stage as part of Thriller, but he did for We Are The World.

The BBC report Jackson fans demand ticket refund however they state in the article "The organisers of the World Music Awards said that they had "not been contacted by any of the fans or had one complaint" regarding the event." So clearly fans are not demainding refunds. The page also has a video link to Michael being interviewed on the red carpet in the video link titled "Michael Jackson speaks to reporters" saying he will not be performing and that it was just a rumour.

Also on the BBC website you may be able to watch the video link titled "Michael Jackson on stage for first time in years
" they say fans booed because he walked past them and ignored them. This is totally false, when watching the same scenes filmed by Sky News Michael Jackson was surrounded by camerman, photograpghers and reporters who had broken through barriers and onto the red carpet. He managed to somehow break from that scrum at one point and make his way to fans but was again surrounded.

He had actually supposedly accepted an invitation to attend a fan based party at a nightclub in London but the party had to be canceled on the day due to heath and safety reasons for holding the event. So that shows he was prepared to make quality time for fans.

Inside the World Music Awards host Lindsay Lohan just added to the confusion, by introducing the stage appearance as one of his first "performances" for years. Oh well.

Well, Michael did sing a few lines. Was his voice not up to it, did the mic cut out? The sound at the end was certainly cut out while Michael was still singing. So its all very confusing. Either way, I think its great he actually took to the stage at all.

Welcome to AllMichaelJackson.com and a bit of site HIStory

Welcome to ALL Michael Jackson Blog
Welcome to all visitors of my Michael Jackson fan website http://www.allmichaeljackson.com

I first created this site way back in June 2002. I have always been a fan (not a fanatic) of Michael Jackson as well as many other artists, but for me Michael Jackson always stood out far above any of the others and his music and performances always stood the test of time. I had been working at a basic level on some websites and when Michael released his new single and video "You Rock My World" and then the album Invincible my interest was rekindled in him and I decided to start this website so new fans could discover what Michael Jackson the performer was all about.

I started out ambitiously and its still quoted on my index page "I'm aiming for this site to be the number one Michael Jackson site on the internet both in content and also the number of visitors. "

Well the site certainly gets alot of visitors and is ranked fairly high in the major search engines.
As regards content, well I built a good base but there's plenty more I would still love to add.

I was still working hard on the site around the time that all the controvesary started and that was with the airing of "Living With Michael Jackson". At the time I did at least 4 radio interviews discussing the programme and how Michael Jackson was portrayed. Since then I have not done any more even though even today I received a phone call from BBC radio 5 live.

I didn't want to turn my site into a fighting for Michael Jackson fan site. I have alot more issues in my life and although I kept myself up to date with the trial I didn't want to turn my site into a Michael Jackson trial site. I found the whole thing very distasteful and didn't even like hearing alot of the information even though I believed it to be lies. I thought it would be enough to pledge my belief in his innocence and just let people use my site to find out information on Michael Jackson the performer.

Well the trial is long over and my site is still getting alot of visitors so over the last few months I've been tidying it up and keeping it up to date with the latest news and latest pictures and adding odd bits of information including new galleries of photos.

I would really now like to add more information and present a much clearer picture of Michael Jackson the "King of Pop". New people, will be discovering his talents everyday. Many younger people may only know him from the tabloid trash they have read and I hope my site will become the number source of information and interest in all aspects of his career.

Hopefully Michael Jackson will release some new material in 2007 or beyond and generate interest in a positive and huge way will be rekindled and many new fans will find this site a mine of information. Join me along the journey to building the best informational Michael Jackson site.
