Latest on MJJC

Daily Weekend News Dec 11 - 13 Man in the Mirror last song at Nobel Peace Prize concert tonight!

I love the way they performed this song. I think it was definitely Michael's moment there with everyone on stage and in the audience remembering him through this song, even though officially it was not announced as a tribute.
 
I swear, its the simplest of things that just tugs at your emotions and this video performance did just that! Man In The Mirror and Will You Be There are two songs that just is so hard for me to listen to without erupting in tears.

My God, I just miss Michael more and more.....:(

Just got home from the Nobel Peace Prize Award show! At the very end, Will and Jada's Smith kids came on stage and sang Man in the Mirror, (his son did the MJ moves as well) followed by the rest of the artists that were there.

Needless to say, to hear Man in the Mirror being played at this setting, The Nobel Peace Prize, was an incredible, but yet bittersweet experience.

I am happy I was there.

Wyclef Jean and Donna Summer totally rocked the show too!!

Peace and L.O.V.E to everyone!!

Ummmm, is this the one from Arrested Development??? nah... just kidding, why can he just shut up, well he's george michael :bugeyed.... i mean :smilerolleyes:


oh here is a contribution, Nick Cave explains why he didnt pay tribute to Michael, is quite true what he saysin one part but he's just stupid...

Nick Cave Explains Michael Jackson Snub

NICK CAVE has explained his refusal to pay tribute to MICHAEL JACKSON at a gig shortly after the superstar's death - insisting the King of Pop was so talented he made all other musicians look like 'amateurs'.Cave took to the stage at Britain's legendary Glastonbury music festival just three days after the Thriller hitmaker passed away suddenly on 25 June (09).

Many artists spent the festival weekend preparing tributes to the late singer, but Cave stunned the audience by completely ignoring Jackson's death when he took to the stage - instead dedicating his set to actress Farrah Fawcett, who died the same day.

Cave is adamant he didn't mean to snub Jackson - he simply found it difficult to express his feelings at the loss of such an iconic performer.

He tells Britain's Q magazine, 'I'm a huge Michael Jackson fan. But as a performer he was a problem for all of us, and in all due respect it's good he's gone because he made us all feel like we had lead in out boots. Something about him made everyone else look like amateurs. But I felt sad for Farrah Fawcett dying in the same week.'

No mean to disrrespect Farrah Fawcet, but i had no idea who she was until the day she died, but thats just me, rip Farrah too, its all for L.O.V.E
 
I know they didnt annouce it as a tribute to MJ, but if you listen to what Will says right before: we have to pay tribute to all the peacemakers.... If that dont include MJ, i dont know who it includes.... They have never chosen this song before as a closing song to the Nobel consert, so i belive they did it this year as a tribute to the ONE GRATEST PEACE FIGHTER OF THEM ALL!!!!! LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!
 
It's always hard to see this kind of things happening. People gathering together using MJ's songs as athems of peace is so touching and so hard for many of us. I am not 100% sure if they meant this a tribute for MJ... maybe they didn't. Otherwise, they could have say his name at least. Would have that been "politically incorrect"?

Whatever... I don't care, I just love to see his music is finally being recognize in its full importance, for Michael made his songs for this. In times when everyboyd is asking for CHANGES, it's wonderful to hear a song asking for US to make our own changes first, not the others.

Thanks for posting the link.... Geeeezz.... I am sick of crying for every single thing about MJ this days. I wish I could stop :cry:

I am sorry, but his ^^ reasoning makes no sense at all. Who is Nick Cave anyway?

I think Akon said it best in his song 'Cry out of Joy':

"In this lifetime I wanna thank you, you motivated the whole world to deliver."

Michael motivated others to up their game and try harder. This Nick Cave person sounds like he's not up for the challenge.
 
Who's nickcave? that idiot can go to hell anyway. It's like gwen stafani who totally ignored MJ as if he's transparent and then gave a stupid excuse the next day saying she's nervous. 'Oh I ignored him because I love him so much and I'm too nervous to see that he's not transparent' They better shut up after ignoring him than giving this lame excuse after. I'm sure nickcave snubbed MJ because he thought lowly of MJ who would soon be forgotten quickly and that it's perfectly fine to go with his heart until he realized everyone is honouring MJ and feel his impact caused all over. He has no choice but to give that stupid excuse to make himself feel better. A late bandwagon jumper.

London, December 12 : George Michael believes Michael Jackson's stardom corroded his musical potential.


The former 'Wham!' member thinks that the King of Pop's death was surreal in nature.

'(Jackson's death) was sad and a bit surreal, too. Jackson's influence on the industry was massive and he made some incredible albums, especially in the '80s,' the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

He added: 'But I do feel there was some lost potential there. Maybe that level of celebrity simply puts a stop to any musical brilliance.'

Jackson's 1982 album 'Thriller' had sold more than 100 million copies, but his last studio album, Invincible, had sold just over 10 million copies after its release in 2001.
--ANI


The press surely loves to compare Thriller with anything else.

no, did you really watch the interview?

he said that MJ one of the greatest entertainers of all time, and that he grew up on his music and still has all of his stuff on his iPod
Click to expand...

Hmm... maybe i watched a different interview, but I mean, our points are still the same. He didn't say he didn't like Michael's music.
I just remember hearing him say that he had his music on his Ipod. So if he really didn't like his music then he wouldn't have it on his Ipod. My answer was to someone who said she/he heard that he didn't even like Micahel's music I think...
 
And Nick Cave is?????

And how can someone say MJ's death represents some kind of good?????......stupid comment!
