I always loved that photo with the flower. The Wetten Das with Michael was on sale. I tried to buy it on the internet but I could not understand the German, plus I was not sure if they would ship to USA. Did anyone buy the dvd's?
 
Btw aboit that red bracelet Michael wore, i read somewhere on the forum a fan gave it to him and youre supposed to wear it until it falls of itself. Is that rly the same he's been wearing in the late '00 ?!:shock: a

Interesting question. One of my Hindu friends had a red sting bracelet too, but it was prepared by one of the priests for some spiritual reason. There were certain things going on in her life and she went to him & he made the bracelet. She had to wear it until it fell away on it's own. I don't know if that is the same type of thing with Mchael's bracelet, because I see lot's of Hollywood people with things like that.
 
Oh oke.. Tnx for explaining. It sure was a trend too a few years ago i saw them being sold everywhere, still do actually. I really womdet if its that, a spiritual thing, a trend or just fans seeking too much behind a simple bracelet:p
 
^^Maybe it is both spiritual for those who have it for a spiritual reason, & a style for those who just like the thing & buy it. I know the rosary is a spiritual thing for people who pray with it, but I notice some other people wear them as jewelry even though they are from different religions because that is the "in" thing I guess. I have a feeling Michael wore it for a particular reason only because he is not the type that go in for jewelry. I have no proof. Maybe someone special gave it to him, so he wore it.
