The moonwalk
The moonwalk
1.The Moonwalk~ What move is as legendary or as remembered as the moonwalk? The moonwalk is one of the most famous moves in all history. I don't really know where Michael learned it from, I mean there are so many storries I've heard about it. Like he learned it from the guy who first did it and then Michael just perfected it. Then I heard the Michael learned it from children and streat dancers. Idk if it's a mix of all of those. There are many storries where there are two different storries that could both be true. Like the story behind the song Speechless. People say that Michael wrote it after a water balloon fight, and others say he wrote it after taking a walk in the forest, both could be true, like having a water fight in the forest. But I really don't care where it came from or who did it before Michael, all I know is that it makes my jaw drop whenever I see it. I can do the moonwalk, but it took me 9 months to make it look just a little bit like what Michael did. Has anyone seen JB moonwalk? He can't do it. lol.


The grab that makes girls faint

2.Crotch Grab~ Well I really love the one he dose at the beginning of preforming Billie Jean, it goes perfectly with the beat. And the story of why he dose it is another one where both could be right. People say that he did it because girls went crazy when he did it (well of course), but Michael said that he did it accidentally (I don't believe that, lol), but others say that is was planed choreography. Now I can believe all of them. I bet that Michael did it sometimes knowing that it made the girls happy, and then sometimes the music just made him go crazy and made him do it without even knowing he was doing it. But is some performances you can tell that it was planed, because all the dancers were doing it, or he dose it at the same time in the same song every time he dose it, like Billie Jean. (I don't do this move, unless I'm playing Michael Jackson the Experience on Wii.)


Spinin spinin all day long
Spinin spinin all day long
3.The Spin~ I still don't know how Michael dose those long spins and then manages to land on his toes!!!! But I love when he spins then falls to his knees, pure passion and power. Those short little spins are amazing too, (now those I can actually do). It is kind of funny how people started to notice his spin and kick in the Thriller era and not earlier. He was doing that spin since he was a little kid. I noticed that recently, because I have been watching more J5 stuff because I really haven't before. I've paid more attention to Michael's solo years more then those years he spent with his brothers. But now I'm listening to J5 music and watching Michael dance when he was little, and I really think that it was amazing what he could do at such a young age.


Oh yeah! Go for the toes!
Oh yeah! Go for the toes!
4.The Toe Stand~ He doesn't just stand on his toes, he moves into this sort of S looking position and his legs and feet are curved in a way that makes it look imposable to do. Idk how to explain it better then that. The toe stand looks like it would really hurt that's why I haven't really ever tried to do it. I don't know why Michael got so mad at himself when he "didn't stay long enough" on his toes in his first performance of Billie Jean at Motown 25. I don't know anyone who moonwalk, spin at least 6 times around then land perfectly on his toes and stay there for more then three seconds. Michael was a professional, and he thought he screwed up the whole show. He didn't know that he just made history. He thought he did a horrible job until that one little boy gave him that one little complement.


Dangerous!
Dangerous!
5.The Feet Shuffle~ I know that sounds weird but idk what else to call it! It's basically all those cool moves that Michael dose with his feet in the cat dance. It's just one of those many moves which I have no clue how he dose it, normal. And the feet shuffle is also the move that Michael dose in the dangerous performance where he shuffles his feet. It is just such a cool and interesting move!


chuga chuga choooo chooo!
chuga chuga choooo chooo!
6. The Train~ I wish I knew the names of these moves!! But that's what it looks like to me. This is the move that Michael dose in the short film Bad where Michael and all the other dancers are scooting across the floor like a train (as soon as I wrote the word, Bad , the song Bad came on on my computer! haha!) And Michael also dose it in Another Part of me performance. Awesome move! I can sort of do it..... for like 8 steps. All of Michael's moves, even the most simple ones are like almost imposable to do right. Michael is the king.


hop hop kick!
hop hop kick!
7.The Hop hop kick~ Oh my gosh I'm starting to sound like one of those trainers on MJ the Experience! That's what they said about this move. "You just have to hop hop then kick! Hop hop kick!" So I just call it hop hop kick. You guys are probably laughing at what I call some of these moves. I don't blame you. I just don't know what they are called!!! Until I find out I will continue to call them these names. At least I know the names of some of the moves, like "the crotch grab". If I didn't know the name I probably would have called it, " The grab he dose that makes girls faint". Anyway, this move Michael dose in TDCAU (too lazy to type it all out). Now you know what I'm talking about. When I try to hop hop kick my sister starts to laugh her head off. So I stopped trying. Hope you enjoyed my rambling!


karate kid!!! lol
karate kid!!! lol
8.The Kick~ No wonder Michael had a black belt in karate! I so wouldn't want to be in a fight with Michael! I'd be dead with one kick! I try to imagine Michael practicing karate, and I stat to laugh at what I imagine. Michael was so healthy and fit. It made me laugh when I read that Michael once challenged a doctor who thought that he wasn't fit, to a race, Michael won of course. Michael was such a fast runner! He was a real speed demon!


Throw it back!
Throw it back!
9.The jacket throw back~ Oooooo love this move. So simple yet beautiful. I do this move whenever I wear a jacket, it's very fun to do. Whenever Michael pushes his Jacket back it makes me want to hit replay. Those simple little moves Michael did are some of my favorites. (I count all little moves like, finger pointing and punches, and throw backs in this section.)


Dancing machine

10.The robot~ Oh my goodness! I forgot to put this on higher! Haha. I just want to say that Michael is probably the best robot dancer that I have ever seen. I can't do those moves. I love the song Dancing Machine because of Michael's robot dance! I really dose look like a robot when he dose it. (Great, now I have that song stuck in my head! > <)

It's ridiculous how people can take such a wrong interpretation out of a innocent or constructive thing you say.

When I say that I love Michael Jackson, I'm being honest, of course!, but most important, I'm not saying that I only LOVE Michael Jackson. A few times ago, I posted a article about Lisa Marie Presley, and I think I was misunderstood. My love for another artists doesn't mean that I don't love or I'm betraying Michael.

I love Queen, I think they are genious; Dire Straits have a very special spot in my heart; Bruce Springsteen is awesome; the Bee Gees songs are just beautiful; Led...

Although 'Hold My Hand,' Akon's duet with Michael Jackson was just released as the first official single of the upcoming album, "Michael," the singer says that he will never release any unfinished material the two worked on.

Akon says 'Hold My Hand' was completely finished before the King of Pop passed away and that is the only reason it is included on the new album. Speaking to MTV News he said, "I'm definitely excited about our single, because that was finished, complete, and I'm happy with the outcome. And I know [Michael] was [happy] 'cause we were there finishing the song together, so I'm...

The R&B singer has blasted the BLACK EYED PEAS star's claim that the upcoming posthumous Jacko album is "disrespectful" to the tragic icon.

Tragic ... Michael Jackson
Will.i.am insists the King of Pop would be spinning in his grave over the December 14 release of Michael, arguing the perfectionist would never allow his songs to be heard without his approval.
He said: "Whoever put it out and is profiting off of it, I want to see how cold they are.
"To say that what (Jackson) contributed during his life wasn't enough.
"He just wasn't any ordinary artist. He was a hands-on person. To me it's disrespectful....

"Keep Your Head Up"

She's looking for a job and a finer place to stay,
She's looking for the hope and the empty promises,
She's working two jobs, keeping alive,
She works in a restaurant during day,
She waits her life away,
She wipes her tears away.
She hides inside every time she feels this way,
And she's :inside, every time her baby cries.

[Chorus:]
Keeping your head up to the sky!
Keeping your mind stay alive,
Keeping your wings so we can fly,
Keep your head up, tonight!
Keeping your head up to the sky,
Are we could just rise up, tell me now?
Give me your wings so we can fly!

Killing up the life in the birds...

When people ask me ‘what is the greatest moment of your life thus far’, I do not hesitate for one moment: it was the night I got to play the piano for Michael Jackson.

Let me back up a little. Michael and my dad became friendly when he moved to New York in 2001 to record his album, Invincible. While I am well aware of the many controversies that surrounded Michael Jackson’s life, they had no bearing on the evenings that my family and I got to spend with him. My family was lucky enough to get to know him and his beautiful, lovely children, away from the flash of cameras and the chants of...

Ok .. after seeing the interview that Lisa Marie gave to Oprah, I have been thinking. Michael was a great artist an incredible entertainment, a person who speaks with the heart ... and when I looked at my photos of him, I thought how happy he was in the early years of his career, he smiled as if he lived in a fairy tale was all perfect until that 1993 has arrived. Then came the beginning of the collapse of the tale, the evil people began to multiply, an accusation was made to him, meaningless accusation, but it was sufficent to Evan Chandler have a Michael Jackson injured and weaker. And Michael...

Hip-hop artist LL Cool J has performed and recorded with a lot of talented people, but working with Michael Jackson ranks as "the most amazing" experience, he shared on 'Lopez Tonight' (weeknights, 11PM ET on TBS).

The two artists did "quite a few songs" together, but they were never released. One evening in the studio, sitting at a baby grand piano, LL asked MJ, "In the 'Smooth Criminal' -- how'd you lean forward like that?"

MJ, sitting cross-legged atop the piano, replied: "We had a Swami come in ... He did a ritual and he leaned forward, and we all leaned forward together." LL told George Lopez, "I was like, 'Really?' He was like, 'No, silly!'"

The 'NCIS: Los Angeles' star then divulged a story he'd never told before -- about farting in front of the King of Pop.

If you haven't heard about the newly released book about MJ called "The Real Comeback Japan 2006", you will probably hear about it real soon.

I finally got a copy and was done reading through it in about 3 hours! It wasn't a very long book, but many of the details are very deep and I think I'll still need some time to process them.

Here were some highlights:

- MJ's personal relationship/friendship with Broderick Morris, his promoter in Japan.
- MJ's real feelings on the music world and insight into what he REALLY wanted to do with the rest of his life.
- MJ going through a "love at first sight"...

It’s a few beats slower than Micheal Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel,” but Ne-Yo‘s new video for “One in a Million” recalls the gloved one’s 1987 girl-chasing clip. Instead of following a vixen through an alley in the middle of the night with a posse of dancing goons, Ne-Yo and a gang of gentlemen prance through city streets clean in shirts, slacks, and wingtips.



Ne-Yo, a self-described M.J. fanatic, does a wonderful job being true to himself without turning this into a corny carbon copy. I can see Jackson’s influence. But there’s no crotch-grabbing plagiarism. The smooth mid-tempo cut is the third single from the singer/songwriter’s forthcoming album, Libra Scale. Check out the video to see if Ne-Yo’s charming ways, wizardry, and smooth steps actually win the girl over after the jump.

TMZ has learned ... Joe Jackson's lawyer will interview a stripper who not only claims Dr. Conrad Murray was at a strip club hours before Michael Jackson died, but that she was at Michael Jackson's house after being invited by the doctor.

There’s a place in
Your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could
Be much
Brighter than tomorrow

You’ll find there’s no need

And the entire human race
There are people dying

For you and for me

If you want to know why
There’s a love that
Cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for
Joyful giving

Michael Jackson's brother Randy Jackson was taken to a Los Angeles hospital on Tuesday after reporting chest pains and doctors believe he suffered a mild heart attack, a source close to the family quoted doctors as saying.

The 48-year-old had spoken with his father, Joe Jackson, over the phone, the source told KABC Television, OnTheRedCarpet.com's parent company, adding that Randy Jackson was "joking and seemed okay".


He is undergoing tests, the source said. Randy Jackson is the youngest Jackson brother and was one of the members of the Jackson Five, as well as a solo artist. He wrote The Jacksons'...

Lisa Marie Presley claims she's disappointed at the "empty space" surrounding Michael Jackson's tomb -- so she's now challenging MJ fans to flood the place with sunflowers ASAP.



LMP just posted a message on her MySpace page describing her recent visit to Michael's grave site at Forest Lawn. Presley -- who was married to MJ back in the '90s -- says she believes Michael "deserves more" than the "few bouquets, candles and gifts" that currently surround Michael's grave.

Presley -- who notes Michael's infatuation with sunflowers -- is calling for fans to send a "Sun Shower" to the tomb because, "I know how much he loved and appreciated being showered with Gifts and flowers by his fans."

Presley suggests that if every fan sends "one silk sunflower" to the site, "the whole area around him and in front of him ... could be filled up in no time."
Debbie Rowe was at Michael Jackson's mausoleum in Glendale, crying hysterically and hugging fans.




The emotional gathering occurred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, where a bunch of Michael Jackson fans meet on the third day of every month and bring cards, gifts and letters from fans around the world ... this according to LisaBurks.com.





Turns out Debbie- Michael's ex-wife- showed up to Forest Lawn as the meeting was in full swing, and started hugging MJ's fans and crying.
Where did you come from baby
And ooh won't you take me there
Right away won't you baby
Tender only you've got to be
Spark my nature

I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
