Michael Jackson had a heart attack??

[ELVIS]

He still showed potential on his last days...

I've been on drugs and alcohol...

For Michael to be that good in rehersal is incredible...

I'm not saying that he was able to pull off 50 shows, no way, but he made an honest attempt. The video doesn't lie...

Yeah. Even with the 3 month break halfway through, 25 shows that big is not easy. From what he appears I could see a handful of shows, but any more than that I'll have to see the whole tape of the rehearsals and see what the final autopsy results show. But he looks a lot healthier than initial "reports".

I love how one guy who remains anonymous and gives a story is qualifying enough to pass for news. They'll go on for 10 minutes for a story based on Michaels bodyguard from 10 years ago saying what he thinks MJ was doing behind closed doors as if it's the gospel truth. There is no news anymore, it's all tabloid rumor bullshit and maybe once in a while they get lucky & the story they report turns out to be true.

[ELVIS]

I'm willing to suppose that the drug reports are true, but that's not the Michael that could thrill an audience...

I'm truly sorry this all has happened...

[sadaist]

I don't want to see a live video. I want to see singers and musicians.

I hear ya. I don't like the fake singing either. But fans of this type of thing don't go to see live singing as much as to just hear the songs and watch the performers dance & the whole production of it. I took my niece & little sister to see N'Sync at Qualcomm Stadium several years back. I hate their music with a passion, but I have to admit I was impressed at the magnitude, choreography, and overall stage production that went into their show. If they spent 10% as much time working on their vocal abilities as they do learning 2 hours of choreography, they would actually be decent singers.

So who was the blond guitarist ??

[twonabomber]

her name popped up on the clip... Orianthi Panagar.

[Top Jimmy]

No, her name is Jennifer Batton,
she's from Cholo (oops...I mean Chula) Vista.

She's been his lead guitarist with him ever since his first solo tour,
which was for BAD, since he didn't tour for Thriller.

Of course he'd bring in some big name axeslingers for colabs now & then,
but she was always his road dawg.

She kicks ASS. She's the one that was having to play Ed's solo on tour...

Damn dude. That girl has played with a ton of huge musicians. On her news page theres a pic of her with Slash, Steve Lukather, & Billy Gibbons. I remember her mostly from the SuperBowl half time show in 1993. Very cool.

And sometimes we referred to it as Chula Juana (after TJ)

I Still think Nasty City is just Nasty City though.

[Kristy]

No, her name is Jennifer Batton

A disciple of Jeff Beck, if memory serves.

It is definitely Orianthi...not Jennifer! She's an aussie chick. I posted some videos in another thread, but should have posted them here. She's pretty awesome!

[FORD]

Is that really a chick, or did Eric Johnson get a sex change?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Now that's fucking confusing, but I agree, it's Orianthi....

Jennifer Batton's website's got all kinds of MJ stuff on it, and she was with him for a long time, but that's not her, if you stop the rehearsal vid on about 0:30...

Compare that to Orianthi's Myspace page, and it's obvious, it's her...

She talks about the 'Beat It' solo

[thome]

HEY!!!!!

WHO ownes the BODY!!!???

The tickets are free at the -Staples Center- for what may be the LARGEST funeral of ALL TIME!!!! Get your Desingner Coffee Mugs (with the skinny MJ or the Fat MJ image on the mug) ova heyrya...Git cher Cold BUDWIESER (tm) for the kick back from bud.(or is it PEPSI?)

How much of a cut will Joe Jackson (out of the will ) get off of the Concessions. MJ was over 18 so he wasn't under parental custody..?

3000 $ Platinum rimmed, gay pimp sunglasses at your sons funeral AIN"T CHEAP BUDDY!!!



BUT THE TICKETS ARE FREEEEEeeeeeeeee!!! We wouldn't want to charge on such a solem occassion..nnoooo siree that would be in bad taste .

""Praise Jesus"" as per -The Holy- nocking up whores, on his wifes dime Jesse Jackson ( no relation) will be quoted as saying.

Jesse has a concession stand with the _I saw Jesse (big Jesse face on t-shirt) at the MJ DEAD in the Box tour"...dates and city lists on back...good quality -fruit of the loom- shirts.

Perhaps the record co (sony?) still has his MJ under contract..?

How much of a cut off the t-shirts will Latoya get ..?

How could they all get all thier lawyers together that fast and cut "THE DEAL!!!???"

I'll tell you how,. The record co owns all rites to MJ, rite now.

If not this -NEGOTIATION- would have taken 6 years and MJ alive, for the last 15 years, already looked, 7 weeks dead.

They will stretch out the service until he is underground then the -CONTRACT- is over Baby...Are the local parking lots trippling thier prices.

Word has it that now that MJ has stopped spending and no longer is incuring debt, it will take about 2 years for the 500 million in the red to be paid back .

His estate without him is going to be worth Billions.

Edit : But they will say they are doing it at a huge auditorium because MJ so loved the world that he gave....well you know....They couldn't have a family service only, and lay him down in peace with some amount of decourum, like a man.Why...? Like Vultures on a week dead mule .

[ELVIS]

You're crazy but I generally agree...

Michael is worth WAY more to Sony, dead...

They didn't try to take back The Beatles catalogue from him for fear of a boycott, period.

Could there be a conspiracy here involving Sony and the ability to obtain narcotics ??


Hmmm...
