    Jackson’s forever ‘Immortal’ in touring Cirque show



    In 2009, just a few short months after the death of Michael Jackson, the movie “This Is It” was released. Countless fans flocked to the theater to catch the two-hour drama, which chronicled the preparation for the tour that never was.


    One of the King of Pop’s biggest fans still can’t bear to watch the movie in its entirety.


    “It kills me to watch it,” explains musician Don Boyette, who toured with Jackson on his “Bad” and “Dangerous” tours. “To this day, it just quite literally breaks my heart.”


    Currently serving as band leader and bass player in the live production of “Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour,” Boyette says that his pain has subsided a bit in recent years, thanks to the public’s continued craving for the music of his friend and former boss.


    “There is not a night up on that stage when I don’t get chills or feel his spirit right there with us,” says Boyette. “This show has allowed me to still experience his essence. I mean, he would have loved this show. I can recall him talking about doing something with Cirque. Michael always wanted his music to be about giving and love. He was all about making the smallest thing into the biggest of events. It’s just so sad that he had to pass away in order for all of this to happen.”


    In partnership with the estate of Michael Jackson, along with Cirque du Soleil, “Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour” currently ranks as one of the top 10 grossing music tours of all time, being performed across the globe since its premiere in Montreal in October of 2011.


    “The show combines music and dance and the band and of course, Michael’s voice,” explains Boyette, who performs in the Immortal Tour alongside Jackson touring band alums Jon Myron Clark on guitar, Bashiri Johnson on percussion and drummer Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffett, who has served as a vital part of the Jackson legacy since the late ’70s.


    “There are many times that I look into the audience just to be able to watch their reaction to the show. They are hearing and feeling the presence and the legacy of one of the best entertainers of all time,” Boyette says.


    The show also features 49 international dancers, musicians and acrobats, including Hubbard Street Dance and River North Dance Company alum Tina Cannon. “The years I spent in Chicago was where I grew the foundation of my professional career and learned my own versatility,” recalls Cannon, who remembers staying up with her family till midnight just to watch the premiere of the “Thriller” video on MTV. “I’m now getting to use that versatility with Cirque — the way that they now not only utilize dancers such as myself, but give us the opportunity to work with acrobats and contortionists and grow in so many different ways…it’s just been such a wonderful opportunity.”


    As the five-year anniversary of Jackson’s death just passed, both Boyette and Cannon says it’s hard to believe the singer has been gone for so long. However, the chance to participate in this production gives them the assurance that the gloved one’s legacy willendure.


    “Michael has touched generation after generation after generation, even after his death… I mean, who has done that?” says Boyette. “It’s pretty extraordinary to watch.”

  • Was wäre, wenn...?

    wobei wir ja wissen, dass sein grösseres interesse der arbeit HINTER der kamera galt, regie, produktion, kamera -
    da wollte er ja gerne aktiver werden, nach ende der aktiven musikalischen phase (nach TII)
    aber leider...:sad
    ich wäre sehr neugierig auf werke aus seinem kreativen schaffen gewesen.

    sowas nennt man hinterfotzige stimmungsmache,
    nur weil einem scheinbar einige leute ein dorn im auge sind -
    die könnten einem ja ein klitzekleines stückchen ansehen beschneiden,
    weil man dann nicht die einzige ist, die sich kümmert.
    wie armselig, peinlich und dumm, lächerlich man sich damit aber tatsächlich präsentiert,
    scheinen da manche in ihrem wahn nicht mehr zu merken.


    ich wünschte es würde von ganz oben mal einen deftigen klopfer auf einige hinterköpfe geben,
    damit sich die -offensichtlich- wenigen hirnzellen wieder sortieren!

  • 5 Jahre ohne Michael - Gedanken und News

    @MJJJusticePrjct ·
    Lest ye forget -
    Line by Line of Karen Faye's backstabbing Michael Jackson email to Frank Dileo of June 22, 2009



    For KF minions too busy kissing ass to look beyond her backside - "Let's break it down" as Michael would say-


    Line by line June 22, 2009 Hi Tookie, "I just want you to have this information to be one step a head." “a step ahead” –So as to be aware- she wants Frank to be prepared because as she spells it out line by line, how Michael is going to "use" him and others and make them the "villans"- Is she standing by Michael at this onset of this email?


    “Michael is showing and telling his fans of his fragile state and his inability to do 50 shows." Karen is not concerned about Michael's fragile state but rather that he is "showing and telling his fans" about it- Again, we ask - Is this supporting Michael?


    “It seems he is setting himself up to be the victim" Ahhh this one is especially telling.. Faye doesn't think Michael is a victim but merely "setting himself up to be" one. Yet now, she tweets incessantly that Michael was a victim of these men, but on June 22nd, she wanted to keep them one step ahead of Michael's devious plans? She speaks with a forked tongue of a viper.


    "He uses them to finance his life and then moves on when he can not deliver on his promises." Michael is a "user" who doesn't fulfill on his promises? WAIT- this sounds eeriely familiar .. Isn't this the same phrasing she used after she her buddy Taunya Zilke and Michael's brother, Randy mishandled MJJSource and then began a public defense of blaming Michael for it all?


    Let's hasten back to the time shall we" “I understand all the anger with the fans, but we have done everything in our power to live up to all the promises Michael has made. If he does not fulfill his promises…there is nothing we can do. We were Michael’s voice, but if he doesn’t wish to speak or pay the bills for MJJsource, there is nothing we can do.” 2005 Karen Faye


    But let's get Back to the Email --> "I see his pattern emerging once again with his care takers" A "pattern" she sees? And just when and where had Michael displayed this repetitive behavior - The term "caretaker" itself is extemely demeaning and passive aggressive towards Michael. S This "pattern" she claims to have witnessed surely wasn't after 2005 because we know he booted Faye out off the Neverland Ranch compound before he ever set foot back after complete vindication in court.


    "I am not saying his original intent is not to live up to his obligations, but I am merely speculating that he becomes paralyzed with fear." Oh well..now she backtracks just a tad - She believes Michael wants to meet his obligations but his fear is paralyzing. This is very important, because Faye was one of the people who was in the dressing room with Michael, not any of the AEG suits. SHE had the best chance of seeing Michael's physical appearance. Yet, she states nothing about that element of Michael's being to Frank .. she doesn't even consider it that important.


    "This is why I thought therapy for him was the more important element for him to succeed." So now it's clear. This email is not to alert Frank that Michael is near death's door but rather that he needed a mental health professional to straighten out his mind. Again this is June 22nd, and the most "important element for him to succeed" in her mind was "therapy", even though she'd received emails from concerned fans alerting her to Michael's demeanor and weight lose.


    "When he asked me to do this in May and met with him, I saw a slender but strong and coherent Michael Jackson." In May, Michael was slender, strong and coherent - let's keep this in mind, shall we?


    "All this hurts me all the way around" <-- "hurts me" Now we come to the truth of this email and her personalization of the issue.


    "I see so many invest in his success, believe in him, then I have to watch him self-destruct." So now Faye is ingratiating herself to Frank with this oh woe to us ..if Michael doesn't get his shit together. Again, Faye wasn't thinking that there was a possibility that Murray was poisoning Michael nightly with a propofol drip - Who would? ! She simply believed that it was Michael being Michael. And as for "watching him self-destruct" she testifed that she never spoke to Michael about "drug use" - yet within the same testimony claim he was like "family to her" - she makes that same claim in this email too.


    "I have seen with my own eyes him deteriorate physically in a month." Does a concerned family member NOT discuss "drug issues" ? Most do.. it's only employees who are afraid of losing a paycheck that don't discuss the elephant drug use in the room. She'd rather watch him with her own eyes "deteriorate" than to stick her neck out.


    "I have seen him do this several times in my relationship with him." Again, this is habitual behavior she claims, yet never did a damned thing about it through all the years as a service worker to this man? It defies logic.


    "I watch him turn people against each other who are working so hard to help him." Now she begins bad-mouthing his intentions. Not only is he a "user" she states he is in fact a manipulator of people and their relationships with each other.


    "I want nothing more than to see him and his art to continue to thrive and live on, not only for history and himself but for his children sake." This is an interesting sentence. Three negative words are used when she is trying to express her desire to see him succeed. One would wonder if these negations are a more realistic expression of how she truly feels. It has been said that the only reason Faye was hired was because she was willing to wait for her pay. Michael had little choice but to bring her on board, if no one else agreed to a deferred salary. One might imagine her being very bitter about Michael unceremoniously dumping her after 2005 trial. Did Faye really want Michael to succeed?


    "He hurts himself most of all." And yet it was with this assumption she allowed her "friend" to be killed with a nightly cocktail of poisons. Assuming there was nothing physically being administered to him but that Michael was hurting himself. She sat upon the witness stand and implied that Kenny Ortega and Frank Dileo did NOT care about Michael's health and yet here in this email she states that it's MICHAEL hurting himself.


    "I love and care about Michael like a brother, a family member, and I pray that you are correct, when you say you have it under control and figured out." "Love and care" ??? Hardly. Again, we reiterate- if she loved and cared she would have had a frank and open relationship and delved into the possibility of drugs being used.


    "I trust you. I also care about you. I don’t think you, Kenny or Randy deserve becoming the villains, or the financial victims." June 22nd ..she trusted Frank ..Kenny and even Randy Phillips.. Wowzers.. Now THAT is a revelation, is it not? Randy Philips who she now likens to a murderer was someone she wanted to keep from being seen as a "villian" OR become Michael's "financial victim"- ??!!!


    What is wrong with this picture?


    While Michael needed help she was sending emails to protect AEG CEO but after it's all said and done she sits on the witness stand and points the finger at others, when in fact SHE must be held accountable as well.


    "I think EVERYONE deserves to have amazing success. We need to all be on the same page at all times." EVERYONE <-- all caps.. herself included .. and this amazing success depends on Michael not making "witnesses" to his fraility. The "page" she speaks of would entail what exactly? She mentions nothing.. is it code?


    "You do not want him to collapse in front of several hundred thousand people. He has created many witnesses so far." Read these two sentences again because they cannot be analyzed separately. It's not that she is worried that his health is impaired and he will collapse …she is thinking Michael WILL purposefully collapse…. the second sentence supports this theory… her assertions that "he has created many witnesses so far" in partnership with the previous sentence clearly defines Fayes motivation for this email.


    "Michael is painfully thin… his bones are protruding." As we see further down, the protrusion of his bones was witnessed in late May thru mid June in Culver City. Where was Faye's concern then?


    "I am one person that has physical contact with him every day." This is why we find her more responsible than anyone in Michael's death.


    "Michael’s OCD is getting worse. He repeats his actions and rambling words constantly, rarely coherent with the present conversation." She blamed Michael and assumed OCD not drug intoxification.


    "I see Travis struggling and winded, just “going through the motions” at rehearsal doing MJ’s part." Again, concern for others will make her appear sympathetic yet with these words she continues to condemn Michael. The whole email has a us against HIM tonal quality.


    "We are having Michael on a cherry picker out over the audience, climbing very high steep steps.. and so far, he can not even walk down the ramp without assistance.. Kenny has asked the female dancer to assist him as they leave the stage…" "We" again this is used to make Frank believe her concern is about the team and how any sort of incident or accident with affect them .. not Michael… the concern for Michael is not heard here … It should be noted that Michael doesn't seem to have any fear while on cherry-picker during the rehearsal footage - it is in fact, Kenny who asks Michael to please HOLD on.


    "This is between you and me alone." This is routinely used by people who are trying to make the other person feel as if they can be trusted….seldom is that the case. It took hardly anytime at all after Frank Dileo's death for Faye to instigate a hatefull diatribe against Belinda Dileo, Frank's daughter. She and a couple of her sheeple had the nerve to invade Belinda's twitter timeline with disparaging and hurtful remarks about her deceased father.


    "I am leaving this in your hands as you have instructed me to do." After setting up the Michael against us routine throughout the whole email, she take on a subordinates role? And she claims Michael is manipulative? pffft


    "I am getting many emails from fans similar to this one .. he is delivering this message to the public himself." She was getting concerned emails from fans, she considerd these "witnesses" in the making. Now we've come full circle and back to where this email started. She's giving Frank a "heads up" because she's backing the team against Michael .. she supports the team because Michael is going "public" -


    "He also brought in several fans at Culver City Studios, and they saw the bones protruding down his back, when he tried on some clothing they gave him." Here is her own admission that she knew Michael was physically unwell and extremely thin way back end of May. Several fans have been saying that they contacted Faye regarding their worries so this corraborates her statements regarding receiving emails. Biggest question is since she was receiving several emails from concerned fans regarding Michael's health and appearance - why on June 22nd is she regarding Michael's condition as something he is doing to cause the failure of the This Is It O2 shows?


    The fans wrote to Faye thinking that she loved Michael and would "intervene" yet rather than voice concern over Michael's condition she laces her email to Frank with accusations against Michael. She considered Michael talking to fans a bad thing because he was making "witnesses" and bring things to the "public" - She wasn't worried about Michael she wanted to give Frank a heads up and protect him, Kenny and even that horrid Randy Phillips, from being victimized by this habitual "user" of people. She wanted EVERYONE to be successful in this endeavor and it meant they all had to be on the "same page". Whatever that meant.


    Clearly, Faye's supporters and apologists don't want to read between the lines of this email because they have blinders on. So did Faye and for what reason? Greed - She was concerned about her job, not her "family" member. After receiving emails from worried fans who told her he had protruding bones, her email to Frank did not stress any alarm regarding his physical health but rather saying she felt "therapy" was more important ?


    Michael WAS overly thin, yes there is no denying it. There were many times in his life that he was overly thin. In 1997, during the Barbara Walters interview, Micahel was alarmingly thin. Thin does not necessarily mean he was ill, however. But obviously two month nightly infusion with Propofol with a make-shift Saline drip with no pump would cause ANY man, thin or not to exhibit symptoms of drug intoxication.


    Was he in need of medical help? Again, there is no denying that the symptoms described to Cherilyn Lee on Father's Day meant he was exhibiting toxic levels of drugs lingering in his body that was affecting his brain & body functions.


    When someone dies, answers regarding how they died come through autopsies and it is afterward when the 20/20 vision kicks in that the finger pointing begins. Karen Faye has to point fingers so no one will consider her culpability leading up to June 25th, 2009.


    Do we believe AEG suits were good to Michael or treated him with the dignity and respect that this man so rightly deserved? No, of course they did not- as it has been proven in court testimony and evidence provided through company emails. And despite what anyone says, NO Michael Jackson fan supports or sides with AEG- It is a perposterous accusation and one that holds no logic or sensibility. But we want to stress that any expectation that a promoter would care is a naïve one.


    Care, love and concern should be provided by friends, family and lifetime associates not cold hard assed executives whose only concern is their ROI.


    But what happens when those who profess love do not offer care or concern but rather accuse the victim of Conrad Murray’s malpractice and neglect of being a “user” and manipulative?


    Tragedy, that is what happens-


    Karen claims "I have always stood by and supported Michael" -


    We say -Maybe, not so much.
