Hey folks, long time no see. Sooo many beautiful, thoughtful and insightful posts since i last visited this wonderful thread. Nice to see summer back and everybody givin' such great contributions, either in thoughts or in videos (Sus, queen, MP, Ash). So nice to see the lil engine that can keeps on rollin'. This lil' thread reminds me of the Chugginton cartoon series, since we are talkin' cartoons *giggles*
And because this thread lasted so long, especially this past year, I really need to send the hugest shout out 2 All4MJ for creating it in the first place. We are approching its second year anniversary. Wednesday to be exact, round the same date Hold my hand made its way unto the internet, right? I actually remember there being another similar thread a few months prior, but that one was ended at some point and All4MJ opened this new one after the release of the song and we all know the rest....it hasn't stopped since. Also meant to congrat AllforMJ for that wonderful post with all the images some weeks ago. As I said homegirl, it took ya a while, but it was well worth the wait
And because I mentioned that diamond of a song, Hold my hand, here is a beautiful collage of images I am sure you will all enjoy :cheeky:
In honor of the protagonist of the previous vid and of this thread obviously, here are a couple of songs i've always related to Michael. The first is Real to me, by Brian McFadden, of Westlife fame, for those of you familiar with the European boyband phenomenon. It's always been my impression Michael would have connected really well with this particular song. Not necessarily with the watching football (as in soccer) on tv lol, cause that ain't an American thing to be perfectly honest and I don't know about his tea drinkin' habits either, but yall get the point – I mean the essence of the song; that I am pretty much convinced he could have easily relate to.
The second video I meant to share was Original of the species from the masterpiece of an album which is How to dismantle an atomic bomb, from back in 2005 by "my boys" U2. Ever since I first heard the song, some of the lyrics made me think of him please stay a child, somewhere in your heart and some things you shouldn't get too good at, like smiling, crying and celebrity. The video is spectacular as well. Although I am not much of a fan of CG stuff, I gotta admit in this one they did a great job, but even greater than that is the rawness of the emotions expressed by the band, especially Bono – God bless him, I hope he recovers soon from his surgery and they all get back on track with their tour.
Today occurs the 2nd month, meant to say the 8th month anniversary of the release of THE movie and I wanted to share a gorgeous portion of it. These past few days i've seen some re-runs of a really great documentary done last summer by MTV UK called Michael Jackson's Human nature – a refreshing look at one of the most, if not the most overlooked, aspect in all of Michael's life – his humanity. It featured beautiful interviews with folks such as Akon, Kenny Ortega, Teddy Riley who shared some truly beautiful, personal and touching stories from their experiences with Michael. So, without much further do, here is the spectacular performance of Human nature from the masterpeace which is the movie THIS IS IT. *smiles thinking of the pinguin move*
I might have posted this song before, so I have to apologize in advance if I am repeating myself with this one, but it is too beautiful not to. In the Hold my hand vid before there was a beautiful saying Love is love's reward. Since that's what this thread is all about, how bout some good ole' Satchmo?
And last, but not least, in honor of MP's “location” *giggles...agaiiin* here is a 2 in 1 pack offer of wonderful videos 4 I'll be there. I initially found this amazing acapella version, but then I also noticed this other one from the 30th solo anniversary concerts in NY back in 2001.
It is sooo beautiful to see Michael leaning on Jermaine's shoulder like that; i gotta admit that scene made me cry when i saw it. It shows how happy all of them were to be performing together once more. God bless them bros.
I know these days are rough for everyone, but always remember – LIFE is the most precious gift, it is a CELEBRATION. We must make all the time in the world....for nothing more, nothing less than LOVE.
I best be on my merry way now be4 some “theresheisagainwitherlongarseposts” patrol comes after my behind.*leaves whilst singin' along in a child's voice the Chugginton theme: Chugginton, chugga, chugga, chugga......Chugginton*
