Prominente und Wegbegleiter zum Tode von Michael Jackson (Keine Diskussionen)

    Hier das INterview auf deutsch aufgeschrieben von Bild.de



    Er trägt eine Jacke der legendären Band Jackson 5, sein Gesicht von Trauer gezeichnet: Jermaine Jackson (54) gab auf der Neverland-Ranch in Kalifornien sein erstes ausführliches Interview nach dem Tod seines geliebten Bruders Michael.


    Für die US-Fernsehsendung „Today“ auf NBC sprach der Bruder von Michael Jackson, der ihm bis zu seinem Tod am nächsten stand, über den Tag der schrecklichen Todesnachricht. Auch berichtet er, dass Michael Jacksons Kinder ihren toten Vater noch ein letztes Mal sahen.


    „Die Welt trauert, wir trauern. Die Fans trauern. Wir können es noch immer nicht glauben. Es ist so unwirklich“, so Jermaine Jackson.


    Das ehemalige Mitglied der Jackson 5 erfuhr von seiner Mutter Katherine vom Tod seines jüngeren Bruders und eilte sofort ins UCLA-Krankenhaus in Los Angeles.


    „Sie weinte als sie mir sagte, dass er gestorben war. Meine Mutter sagen zu hören: 'Michael ist tot', ihren Ton zu fühlen und zu hören, wie sie sagt, dass ihr Kind gestorben ist; keiner kann sich vorstellen, wie das ist.“


    Als Jermaine das Krankenhaus erreichte, war seine Mutter bereits an Michaels Seite.


    „Ich habe noch versucht, sie zu trösten. Aber ich wollte Michael sehen. Ich wollte meinen Bruder sehen.“


    Dann betrat er den Raum, in dem Michael Jacksons lebloser Körper lag.


    „Ihn dort liegen zu sehen, war sehr emotional für mich. Aber ich habe mich beherrscht, weil ich wusste, dass sein Geist weiterhin lebt. Sein Körper war nur die Hülle. Ich küsste ihn auf die Stirn. Ich umarmte ihn und berührte ihn und sprach zu ihm 'Michael, ich werde dich nie verlassen. Du wirst mich nie verlassen'.“


    Immer wieder wischt sich Jackson die Tränen von den Augen. Der Tod seines Bruders hat ihn mitgenommen, so sehr, dass er sich wünscht, er wäre gestorben und nicht Michael!


    „Er ist zu früh von uns gegangen. Ich wünschte, es hätte mich getroffen!"


    Michael Jacksons drei Kinder Prince Michael (12), Paris (11) und Blanket (7) über den Tod ihres Vaters zu unterrichten, stellte die nächste große Herausforderung für Jermaine dar. Eine Therapeut riet der Familie, dass die drei Kinder ihren Vater ein letztes Mal sehen sollten.


    „Ich war zunächst dagegen“, so Jermaine Jackson. „Aber wie bringt man ihnen so etwas sonst bei?“


    Wie würde er reagieren, wenn sich die Medikamentensucht-Gerüchte seines Bruders bestätigten?


    „Das würde mich verletzten, weil Michael immer dagegen war. Ich möchte nicht sagen, dass es in Ordnung ist, weil es das nicht ist. Aber in diesem Geschäft ist der Druck so hoch, man macht so viel durch. Da weiß man nie, zu was für Mitteln Menschen greifen.“


    Am Dienstag sollen Fans des „King of Pops“ bei einer Trauerfeier im Staples Center in Los Angeles ein letztes Mal gedenken können und Abschied nehmen. Jermaine Jackson, gläubiger Moslem, hat es bereits getan. Seine Worte klingen bitter:


    „Michael ist ein Geschenk Allahs, und er hat ihn zurückgenommen. Die Welt wusste ihn nicht zu schätzen.“

    Naomi Campbell Remembers Michael Jackson
    Memsor Kamarake


    Fashion Director Memsor Kamaraké talks to the supermodel about her time with the King of Pop
    Upon hearing of the passing of the legendary Michael Jackson, my thoughts immediately raced to scenes from my fave Michael Jackson video, "In the Closet," one of his many hit singles from his 1991 album, Dangerous (Sony) . Shot on location at the Salton Sea, the sepia-hued clip was directed by the legendary Herb Ritts, and featuring the even more legendary supermodel Naomi Campbell.


    I promptly reached out to Ms. Campbell for comment and she graciously and swiftly responded:


    "I grew up with Michael Jackson, he was a good friend and the most exciting and innovative entertainer to have lived.


    No artist has connected to their audience like Michael and no one will ever be able to match what he has achieved. He gave back to people through his charity work and was an amazing father and human being.


    Michael touched people of every race, nationality, age and was the first truly global superstar. He is one of the all time greats and his role in popular culture will never be surpassed and never ever be forgotten."



    The video is smoldering in its simplicity, and is devoid of the special effects and super-embellished wardrobe that had become his trademark, showcasing a new confidence in Michael, his hair pulled off his face in a simple straight ponytail.


    This confidence to be able to simplify and step away from what people expected from him struck a particular chord with me, at the time a young man growing up in London, and it is something I hold true to to this day.


    Thank you, Michael.


    5 Highlights:


    0:51 Naomi's glass shattering gaze.


    2:21 Michael body rolling in silhouette. Naomi's fingers holding a delicate, but firm pose.


    3:07 Michael singing and dancing on a horse drawn well, while Naomi's stares him down, her hips keeping the rhythm


    4:26/4:35 Naomi rolling that lengthy weave in the dirt


    4:54 Michael opening the doors and going off until the video ends!


    (Bonus: The whoosing sound at 5:05 that accompanies the shot panning up Ms. Campbell's leg.)

    Madonna To Debut Special Song & Dance Tribute To Michael Jackson At London Concert


    LONDON, England, U.K. --
    Madonna is set to pay tribute to her late friend, Michael Jackson, at her concert in London on Saturday.


    Madonna will debut a special song and dance in tribute to the late singer, her rep, Liz Rosenberg, told the Associated Press.


    On Friday, a photo was posted on the pop singer’s Web site, showing Madonna and her dancers rehearsing with a man dressed up like Michael.


    Madonna has two dates scheduled at the O2 arena – on Saturday July 4, and Sunday July 5, according to the singer’s Web site. The O2 arena is the same venue Michael was due to kick off his comeback shows beginning on July 13.


    Madonna and Michael famously attended the Academy Awards together in 1991.


    The King of Pop’s death last week at the age of 50, hit Madonna hard.


    “I can’t stop crying over the sad news,” she previously said in a statement to Access Hollywood. “I have always admired Michael Jackson… The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever!… My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family… God bless.”



    Madonna To Debut Special Song & Dance Tribute To Michael Jackson At London Concert | Access Hollywood - Celebrity News, Photos & Videos

    Madonna will celebrate Michael!


    We're almost there!! The Sticky and Sweet Tour 2009 is just a day away and to build up excitement MadonnaTribe would like to share some more exclusive news we have heard buzzing around.
    During these weeks apparently nothing has changed in the new rock version of Dress You Up that replaces Heartbeat. The My Sharona inspired arrangement is still there and it's really good.


    On the Holiday front instead there are some changes. As previously reported exclusively here the song already contained vocal lines and music samples of Everybody (Dance and Sing Get Up And Do Your Thing) and the new track Celebrate but now as a homage to the late Michael Jackson, Madonna has been rehearsing the song with a whole middle part of MJ music in it.

    There's the famous "Billie Jean" drum beat and the "Wanna Be Starting Something" hook (the "Mama-se, mama-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa" stuff).
    Totally a dance number perfect for the 80's part of the show!! Fans will love it!


    Speaking about the latest new entry, Frozen, that replaces Hung Up, we are told is a upbeat number with the hook of the Calvin Harris' song "I'm Not Alone" in the middle.


    But the great surprise is that the new Frozen also contains parts of another great Madonna classic from the 80's, "Open Your Heart", a song that was rehearsed for the first part of this tour but that didn't make the final setlist replaced by Doli Doli.
    The song now gets its revenge!


    As for the video backdrop for Frozen they are using video outtakes from the original video by Chris Cunningham from 1998, re edited in a great new way!


    The show will also have some other great surprises, we wish everyone who attends the first show in London tomorrow night a great fun and don't forget to check MadonnaTribe, home of Madonna fans, for the first after show reports!


    From MTribe

    ZEIT ONLINE: Herr Garrett, warum berührt der Tod Michael Jacksons sogar Menschen, die seine Musik kaum gehört haben?


    David Garrett: Aufgrund seiner fast beispiellosen Popularität wurde Michael Jackson mit der Zeit zu einem Teil der Menschen und ihrer Erinnerungen. Egal, ob man die Musik mag oder nicht. Jackson war ein unglaublich talentierter Mann, der vielleicht gerade damit am Ende nicht mehr zurecht gekommen ist. Wenn man so begabt ist wie er, ist es sehr schwierig, der Verantwortung seinem eigenen Talent gegenüber gerecht zu werden. Viele Künstler zerbrechen daran, und ich fürchte, genau das ist ihm passiert.


    ZEIT ONLINE: Michael Jacksons Tod wirft viele Fragen nach der Freiheit und Autonomie des Künstlers im Zeitalter globaler Vermarktungsstrategien auf. Wie denken Sie darüber?


    Garrett: Er hat schon als junger Mann Karriere gemacht. Das heißt auch, dass er sehr bald von vielen Leuten fremdbestimmt wurde. Ich habe nach meiner Zeit als Wunderkind glücklicherweise früh genug einen Schlussstrich ziehen können und mich vom Konzertleben zurückgezogen. Michael Jackson hat das, glaube ich, nie so richtig geschafft. Er hat sein ganzes Leben gesucht, was man als Kinderstar verliert: die Kindheit. Wer sich damit emotional nicht abfinden kannn, läuft dieser verlorenen Kindheit das ganze Leben hinterher. Ich glaube, das war die Tragik seines Lebens – und seines Sterbens.


    ZEIT ONLINE: Mit Michael Jackson erreichte die mediale Selbstinszenierung und Selbstermächtigung des Künstlers einen einsamen Höhepunkt.


    Garrett: Wenn man so früh zum Megastar wird wie er, ist es schwierig, sein Selbstbewusstsein auf natürliche Weise zu entwickeln. Das ist ein langsamer Prozess, zu dem auch gehört, dass man lernt, sich – vor allem in den Teenagerjahren – in seinem eigenen Körper wohlzufühlen. Michael Jacksons Selbstinszenierung war vielleicht einfach eine Flucht nach vorne, ein Schutzmechanismus, um Selbstbewusstsein vorzutäuschen. Dieser Widerspruch zwischen Eigenwahrnehmung und Fremdwahrnehmung ist schwer zu verarbeiten.


    ZEIT ONLINE: Gegen eine derart schillernde Pop-Ikone sehen Klassik-Stars oft sehr alt aus. Was kann die Klassik von einem wie Michael Jackson lernen?


    Garrett: Ich glaube, es war genau andersherum: Michael Jackson hat sich, was seinen Perfektionismus betraf, viel eher an der Klassik orientiert. Wenn man seine Platten hört, die Art, wie alles zusammengestellt ist, die Arrangements und auch sein Gesang, stellt man fest, dass er fast ein bisschen wie Jascha Heifetz war. Das mag sich nach einem gewagten Vergleich anhören. Er war sehr kompromisslos, wenn es um seine Musik und seinen Gesang ging. Wenn man selber diese Perfektion sucht, entsteht ein enorm hoher Druck, diesem allem über Jahre hinweg gerecht zu werden. In der Hinsicht war Jackson ein echter Klassiker-Künstler. Das ist im Pop- und Rockbereich heutzutage nicht mehr selbstverständlich. Michael Jackson war Old School.


    ZEIT ONLINE: Jackson stand immer im Rampenlicht. Er hatte keine Rückzugsmöglichkeiten und fühlte sich doch einsam.


    Garrett: Diese Einsamkeit kann ich sehr gut nachvollziehen. Je mehr Menschen dich kennen, desto mehr ziehst du dich zurück. Die ganz normale Freundschaft wird umso schwieriger, je populärer man wird. Weil jeder, der dich anruft, irgendetwas von dir will. Das kann schon sehr entmutigend sein.


    ZEIT ONLINE: In der griechischen Tragödie gibt es den Begriff Hybris, also die Anmaßung, die den Zorn der Götter auf sich zieht. Inwieweit hat Michael Jackson ein mythisches Schicksal erlitten?


    Garrett: Ich glaube nicht, dass er es selbst so gewollt hat. So etwas kann man auch nicht kalkulieren. Manche Situationen kann ein Mensch allein einfach schlecht verarbeiten. Man kann sich kaum vorstellen, unter welchem Druck er in den letzten Jahren gelebt hat, als die positive Popularität ins Negative umschlug. Die Medien haben nur noch das Bizarre und Verrückte gesucht. Möglicherweise hat er sich dann in sein Schicksal ergeben.


    Das Gespräch führte Burkhard Schäfer.

    We’ve read a lot of what other people had to say about Michael Jackson today and most of it was just depressing or overly serious. That’s not at all how we remember him or how we generally think about things, so after the jump, read a collection of FADER editors’ fondest memories of The King and make sure to listen to his music all weekend long. We guarantee you’ll feel better on Monday.



    Peter Macia
    Prior to Michael Jackson, the only real music memory I have is of Mickey Mouse Disco. My older brother and I would pull one of our beds away from the wall and edge it with Christmas lights to make a bar, I’d get out my powder blue Easter suit, put the needle on the record and dance the night away while he served Coke out of my dad’s tumblers. We made a scene because there was no star to emulate. It’s not like I wanted to be Mickey Mouse, just goofing around, getting my mini-Travolta on (will admit to be crushed the fuck out on Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu so maybe that excuses the toddler disco?). And I don’t really remember having any musical idols at the time because most of my favorite songs were by Muppets or cartoons. I do vaguely remember hearing “Rock With You” on the radio, but it didn’t rate compared to “Macho Duck,” for sure.


    A couple years later, we moved to another state, another house and MTV premiered that summer. We didn’t have it. We got it the next summer, right before Thriller came out. My dad bought his first Sony Walkman that summer, too, but I don’t remember caring about it too much either because I didn’t have any tapes. But then, towards the end of that year and into early 1983, the “Billie Jean” and “Beat It” videos came on TV and my dad bought Thriller on cassette. I don’t remember if it was the first day he had it or the second but it definitely was not the third when I stole that cassette and his Walkman from him. He took them back within the hour because he could hear me hoppin’ around and “hee-hee”-ing in my room. I took that shit the next day too. He took it right back. I was like WHAT THE FUCK DUDE (not really) WHY CAN’T I HAVE YOUR SHIT?? DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?? I think I probably got yelled at, spanked and grounded about a hundred times over the next two hundred days for taking Thriller and the Walkman, but I will never forget those songs. So crazy, so perfect. And trying to Moonwalk and knife fight and make the sidewalk light up when I stepped. Every kid in my neighborhood was like this, it would’ve looked insane except our parents were just as into him as we were and I imagine most of the rest of the world was too. We all loved Michael Jackson. That’s something I hope people will remember about him, and something I hope happens again in my lifetime.


    Julianne Shepherd
    I was six and “Thriller” was everything. I would play the record on repeat and dance for hours with a poster I’d ripped from a magazine of Michael, inexplicably wearing a live parrot on his shoulder, pretending it was actually him. My seventh birthday party was “Thriller”-themed: we rented the “Making of” on VHS, which was about nine hours long but miraculously managed to keep a room full of second graders rapt for its entirety. Shortly thereafter I met my first boyfriend, Quincy Jones(!), who attracted me with his impeccable Moonwalk. We were together until I moved away in third.


    Sam Hockley-Smith
    Bad came out when I was real young, like three years old, so it didn’t really hit me until somewhere around 1990. A year later, Dangerous would come out. I grew up with that album, but I never liked it as much as Bad. One summer, my older neighbor and I listened to Bad nonstop in his bedroom, splitting a pair of white gloves and dressing in our best MJ approximations (white pants and the shiniest shirts we could find). His walls were wood-paneled like a sauna and not much light came in through the lone small window, so we brought my little sister over to shine flashlights on us while we lip-synched to “The Way You Make Me Feel.” I remember doing this on multiple days. It became a standard activity, like swimming lessons or something. “Hey you wanna go play baseball?” “Nah, lets lip-synch Michael Jackson songs in your dark bedroom.” It was weird, there wasn’t really a point to it, but we did it anyway. Eventually we got the bright idea to expand the operation. Setting up folding chairs in his front yard, we canvassed the block, inviting every single person—including the really old dude who lived with his 105 year old mom and mowed his lawn daily—to come watch us. We set up Hula Hoops on the ground like they were spotlights, got some of those huge batteries for his boombox and put in the Bad tape. It seemed like the entire block came, there were maybe 10-12 people there, but in my mind it was closer to 50. I don’t remember much of the actual performance, just my neighbor and I mouthing the words from inside the neon pink and green hoops, my sister jumping up and down behind us. Everyone clapped and then went home, I was bummed we had to fold up all the chairs and bring them inside after I had just performed, but it wasn’t too bad. I wore the glove the whole time.


    Phil Bicker
    Off the Wall, “Billie Jean,” “Human Nature” and the rest from Thriller… I could listen to those tunes on repeat for days. and “I Want You Back” for some reason had always been the Michael Jackson (Jackson 5) song for me. But no matter how great his songs they never held personal memories for me. The songs didn’t hold the memories you associate with special people who come into your life or remind me of special moments I had shared.


    My experience with Michael Jackson all changed while driving on a random road in New England, listening to cassettes, some minute or so into the Jacksons “Can You Feel It?” Jermaine Jackson’s introduction, taken to another world by Michael as he cuts in. My future wife had just introduced me to a seminal moment in pop history. While through our shared listening experience on the highways and back roads of that week, and later as it played at our wedding and we danced like crazy the song became part of the soundtrack of our lives together and a song that will always remind me of her and blissful happiness.


    Chioma Nnadi
    One of my first childhood memories ever was watching the world premiere of the “Thriller” at my Uncle Sadrew’s house in Action, West London. I think it was some kid’s birthday but by the time the video came on most of the children were sleeping and all the adults were getting boozed up in the living room. In the romantic preamble to the actual song, there’s a scene where Michael shows up at his date’s house wearing the craziest red and black padded leather jacket I think I’ve ever seen. Margiela actually made a similar jacket a few seasons ago that Pharrell used to rock, but his outerwear homage just pales in comparison to the original. I was too young to understand boy crushes at the time but I think I remember wishing that my future boyfriend would one day serenade me on the playground in an outfit like that. Then shit got scary, Michael started growing crazy hair and crazy fangs. I jumped out my Dad’s lap but my brother wouldn’t let me leave the room—just to torment me. The whole thing spooked me out so much that I slept under a mountain of soft toys that night, and kept having recurring dreams about it. I didn’t have another on-screen crush on a boy like that again until Flight of the Navigator a few years later.


    Matthew Schnipper
    It was a while since I bought Dangerous on cassette at Coconuts for 10 dollars (which, I think, was all the money I had), like 10 years a while, shit maybe more how old am I? Wait is there ever a time when I didn’t know who Michael Jackson was? That’s weird. So anyway I was at Amoeba Records in San Francisco the first time I ever went there and we went for 10 days which is an extremely long time to stay at someone’s house, and I was with my friend Dan and it was a lot of hanging out for us so we would just stretch the days. We went to Amoeba a few times because it is a huge warehouse-sized record store and we could linger. So we did, and I was looking in the world section and all of a sudden this super bootleg cover of “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough” came on. I had been listening to a lot of homemade disco at that point, real chintzy guitar plink and drumstick on beer bottle type percussion. But then the covers kept coming, more Off the Wall janky business. I didn’t understand, and either I asked someone or they told me that these were MJ’s home demos with Quincy Jones that someone had unearthed. That shit is wild! Never got over that baby dangling shit though, that was loony.


    Felipe Delerme
    I caught the Reverend Al Sharpton speaking on Michael Jackson’s legacy last night, on MTV of all places, and was glad to hear him making it a point to call out the people who were mourning, but weren’t very kind to Michael when he was alive. I am absolutely one of those people. My image of Michael Jackson was irrevocably marred by the molestation accusations, plastic surgeries, skin lightening and the rest of his all around bizarre behavior. I’m only able to rectify my love and respect for his musical legacy by hosting two separate Michael Jacksons: There is the brown-skinned kid whose blockbuster music videos I marveled at during my adolescence, and alternately, the dyed-skinned man-child who hung his newly acquired baby over a hotel balcony to tease paparazzi. I had to separate the two to enjoy the genius of a person whose real life actions I couldn’t really process.


    I can’t remember the very first time I ever saw Michael because he was already doing so many amazing things by the time I was old enough to be able to trust my memory, but obviously, one of the first things that come to mind is his dancing. Now everyone thought they were freaking the Moonwalk at some point or another, but I’ve seen some people really hold that shit down. Back when I was in high school, some time before my mother’s side of the family mysteriously stopped having family reunions, we had one in Virginia Beach. I have a distant cousin like five or six years older than I am named Cleon. A black sheep of sorts (one of many within the tribe), he’d somehow gotten engaged to a woman no one had ever met, in the time between the previous year’s reunion and now. She had a son around the same age as me, but he wasn’t into any of the shit my cousins and I were into like basketball and Air Jordans. The latter wasn’t really his fault because this kid was easily one of the brokest people I ever met. He’d long outgrown all the clothes I saw him wear and his Payless sneakers were all leaned over on themselves. He was kind of happy just to kick it with us and seemed like he didn’t have many friends wherever it was he was from. His mom seemed nice enough, but no one was trying to get too close considering that Cleon was the one who brought her into the fold. The reunion went along well enough and there ended up being karaoke at the commencement party. They didn’t have any rap songs so most of the kids ended up doing Mike Jack on general principle. I picked “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” which to this day might be my favorite Michael Jackson song. Dude chose “Billie Jean.” He asked to trade songs at the last minute and, trying to be hospitable, I did. I went first and I bombed. Hard. Even for karaoke. Even for a kid. I never bothered to learn the words to “Billie Jean” and let’s just say my improvisational skills weren’t then what they are today. He, on the other hand, murdered. Sang and freaked the steps on some young Chris Breezy shit. Turns out this kid had studied Michael Jackson tapes since he knew how to work a VCR and as a latchkey kid had plenty of time to practice. It was only a family reunion, but he was a fucking celebrity that night. To this day I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone replicate the Moonwalk like he did. That was the final night of the reunion and I’d never see him again. I never saw Cleon again either, though.


    RIP Michael,
    Love, The FADER

    Michael Jackson ist tot




    Die Nachricht vom plötzlichen Tod des erfolgreichsten
    Pop-Künstlers aller Zeiten macht mich tief betroffen. Wir kannten uns über 35 Jahre, waren Partner bei unzähligen Konzerten in der ganzen Welt und wurden echte Freunde.


    Wenn ich an Michael denke, sehe ich als Erstes immer noch den 14jährigen Jungen vor mir, den ich 1972 noch als Leadsänger der Jackson 5 unter Vertrag nahm. Schon damals war zu spüren, dass dieser Junge zu Größerem geboren war, obwohl niemand ahnen konnte, welche unglaublichen Ausmaße seine Karriere annehmen würde. Als er dann als Solokünstler Musik machte und von Album zu Album immer besser wurde, war klar, dass zu diesem einmaligen Talent auch noch nie dagewesene Shows gehörten, mit denen er in den nächsten Jahren die ganze Erde begeisterte.


    Ich durfte teilhaben am Königreich des King of Pop. Drei große Welttourneen führten uns durch alle fünf Kontinente. Bei über hundert Stadionshows konnte ich als Produzent und Veranstalter an seiner Seite sein und kannte den Megastar als Mensch hautnah. Wenn man so viele so außergewöhnliche Augenblicke zusammen erlebt, wird aus dem Miteinander ein Stück Gemeinsamkeit und aus einer geschäftlichen Zusammenarbeit tiefe Freundschaft. Und dass er mich dann später einlud, mit ihm zusammen noch einmal künstlerisches Neuland zu betreten. Das war „Michael Jackson und Friends“ das größte Charity-Konzert, live übertragen in 50 Ländern, mit Rekorden bei den Einschaltquoten und den Spenden, was ihm noch viel wichtiger war. Denn die musikalischen und Erfolgsrekorde hatte er zu diesem Zeitpunkt ohnehin schon alle gebrochen. Natürlich haben wir uns auch gestritten – das gehört zu einer guten Freundschaft. Auch diese Art von Reibung hat letztlich für uns Wärme erzeugt.


    Ich weiß aus eigenem Erleben, wie ungeheuer genau, professionell und arbeitsintensiv sich Michael auf jeden seiner Auftritte vorbereitet hat. Dass er gerade jetzt, nur wenige Tage vor den ausverkauften Sensationskonzerten in London gestorben ist, ist umso tragischer. Denn ich bin mir sicher, er hätte hier der Popwelt wieder einmal gezeigt, wer der King ist.


    In seinem Song „Gone Too Soon“ hat Michael über einen verstorbenen Freund geschrieben: „Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight. Here One Day, Gone One Night”. Jetzt gilt diese Zeile auch für ihn selbst. Der Pop hat seinen King verloren, ich einen Freund.
    Dies ist die offizielle Webseite von Marcel Avram

    ie krass ist das denn der hat uns grad noch gefehlt hab ich ausm kop board die gehn da drüben alle voll ab!!




    Michael Jackson's 'sworn enemy' over child abuse investigation tells of sadness at his death


    *
    *


    Exclusive By Martin Fricker in Santa Barbara 29/06/2009





    The man described as Michael Jackson's sworn enemy said yesterday he was saddened by the superstar's death.


    Santa Barbara District Attorney Tom Sneddon, 68, twice investigated the singer over child abuse claims - by Jordan Chandler then Gavin Arvizo - and was the main prosecutor in his 2005 trial.


    Jackson made no secret of his hatred for Sneddon and accused him of a personal crusade to see him in jail.


    The prosecutor got death threats from Jackson fans and was mocked on the HIStory album. The track DS has the lyric: "Dom Sheldon is a cold man" - which sounds like "Tom Sneddon is a cold man".


    But yesterday Sneddon told the Mirror: "I'm trying to keep a dignified silence, but obviously it's sad. It's tragic. That's all I want to say."





    http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2009/0...15875-21480457/

    Little Richard


    "May GOD bless the entire JACKSON family at this difficult time with HIS love, hope, peace, confort and direction, in JESUS mighty name, amen!! "
