The European Jackson Event 2014 - Teaser II by Fabian van Dongen

The European Michael Jackson Event - Reusel, Netherlands - April 20th, 2014


The European Jackson Event has grown from a small party for a select group of people to a true phenomenon. EJE once started in a small school auditorium in Eindhoven. The perfect combination of magic performances, great dance music and the chance to buy rare pieces of merchandise kept on pulling in more and more people over the years. The crowd got very diverse; young people, older people, real fans and &#8216;just admirers'... all as diverse as today's society.

About

Michael showed us that by starting with the man or woman in the mirror, we can make that change. As Jackson Event we want to keep making that change. We want to give to Michael the greatest gift one could ever give him: carrying on his Legacy.

Company Overview

"...We had him, beautiful, delighting our eyes. His hat, aslant over his brow, and took a pose on his toes for all of us. And we laughed and stomped our feet for him. We were enchanted with his passion because he held nothing. He gave us all he had been given."

Those were the words of Dr. Maya Angelou read by Queen Latifah during the July 7th Memorial Service at Staples Centre, Los Angeles. Dr. Angelou was able to capture and reproduce the feelings we all share in common: Michael DID give us all he had been given, whether it was through his amazing talent as an entertainer, writer, songwriter, actor, performer, dancer... Or through his endless gift of love, compassion, time, money and heart for thousands of charities around the world.

We decided to come together and do what we do best, determined to bring you, his fans, incredible entertainment and determined to keep Michael Jackson alive in everyone's hearts. All that, in support and honor of those who are less fortunate and in need for our care.

We hope you join us, wherever we go.

In loving memory of Michael Jackson.

Rest in Peace.

Better known as recording artist IMI Rtist, is an extremely talented artist who gained praise through his public appearance in the popular RTL4 TV talent show "My name is Michael".
Under pressure of more than 1.4 million viewers on a weekly basis, IMI Rtist kept his cool and made it through the top 5 finalists in "My name is Michael". Due to his very similar voice to "the King of Pop", he captured the heart of many viewers, who became fans instantly.

But IMI Rtist's music career didn't start with "My name is Michael". At the age of 7 IMI Rtist got inspired by Michael Jackson. One of his favorite MJ songs "Don't stop till you get enough" resembles IMI's true nature. Cause IMI Rtist won't stop till he reaches his summit!

OUR MISSION FOR CHARITY

Each event we organize, will serve the purpose of carrying out Michael's legacy by supporting his favorite charities.

Our Michael Jackson Event History

eje2009.png

EJE2009

Each event passing, the waiting lines of people eager to enter this phenomenon got longer and longer. Several of our events were such a success, that the demand for tickets was greater than the actual available number. For this reason, EJE kept on growing into bigger, better and more awesome venues. We outgrew the auditorium... moved to Dynamo... organized events at the MJ statue in Best.. dance parties in Odeon.. and have now settled in multi-room venue &#8216;de Kei' in Reusel. This location gives us the possibility to provide you with an even bigger and better show than the ones in our previous events!

EJE2005

If we do a quick recap of European Jackson Events over the years, we can proudly say that, in the past, we were able to offer you:
Performances by the best international Michael Jackson impersonators
Chances to win exclusive items signed by Michael himself
Appearances by members of the Jackson family
Exclusive video messages to EJE by Michael Jackson
The very top in international DJ-s playing nothing but Jackson hits

EJE2002

The force behind EJE is a small crew that has been together for over 13 years. We are all Michael Jackson fans to the core and through EJE we are looking to spread Michael's love to the world. Also, EJE is and has always been a non-profit organization. All profit made from events is donated to the Ronald McDonals children's foundation. (You can read more about that on our charity page!)

European Michael Jackson Event - UPDATE

Finaly I reached the part of organising the European Jackson Event that I love the most:

Create the show itself with the technical people. 5 guys who will control the pyro, special effects, Lasers, Video & DMX lights. The show will be awesome. 45.000 Watts of light, 9 Watt full colour lasers and a huge videoscreen, amazing pyro and midblowing special effects.

One week to go before the stage will be build and the first rehearsals begin.

I Love Life !!

The European Michael Jackson Event Review 2014 - Reusel, Netherlands May 4th, 2014 (Update)
By The Imcomparable Daz (MJJC Blog Editor)



Hey fellow MJ famies :ciao:

So, I thought it would be COOL to post my review of the EJE event here in FULL and maybe get some MORE 'reviews' from other people who experienced this event :cheeky: So, here it goes... :agree:

&#8220;AN MJ EVENT LIKE NO OTHER&#8221;
Written by Daz, Inspired by MJ
Section: Reflections

This is the &#8216;report&#8217; of the EJE Event in Reusel
An MJ event like no other
That healed me in ways impossible.
Ready to Xscape?

&#8220;We wanna take them to places, they&#8217;ve never been before.&#8221;

The calendar was marked on April 20[SUP]th[/SUP] , 2014
For the MJ event like no other
or simply called The European Jackson event (EJE) .
Time for &#8216;moving on&#8217; and celebrating the legend Michael Jackson
Instead of only &#8216;mourning&#8217; his loss.

Though,
there was an impressive list of performers and activities,
the event held much more in anticipation.
Meeting new and old friends,
Soaking up the MJ sphere,
Getting the latest merchandise
or just rocking to the &#8216;never old hat&#8217; songs of the master.

EJE event had it all and
made it in an event like no other.
One that holds dear memories now of
meeting &#8216;chat friends&#8217; for the first time,
connecting once again to your dear friends that live abroad,
marveling over the talent on stage and of course,
the love and the escapism that
Michael still brings to the crowd no matter if
you&#8217;re a new or a diehard one.

I admit, it&#8217;s the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] event, I agreed to go in about 5ish years.
I wanted to celebrate Michael and NOT just mourn and weep over his loss.
Michael wouldn&#8217;t want it.
He would insist to &#8216;live life off the wall&#8217;.

To me, the event had quite a healing nature.
As, I realized that this is my world where I grew up in, the MJ bubble.
It&#8217;s wonderful to see all that talent on stage.
No matter how young or old people are,
Michael touches your soul, rock your world, make that change.

I had grown quite skeptical of &#8220;Look a likes&#8221; lately.
Then, one came on stage to &#8216;rock my world&#8217;.
My heart skipped a beat or two and I had to catch my breath.
Okay, &#8220;Philly T&#8221; was for me the HIGHLIGHT of the day.
Yeash, I do &#8216;appreciate&#8217; all the other talents I saw on stage
Including: Kent Olaf, Fatih Jackson, IMI artist,
Lisa Johansen and the &#8216;Music to move&#8217; choir,
Johannes Holmgren, Milly Magic.
They were all honoring Michael in their own &#8216;special&#8217; way, okay!

Maybe, it was the &#8216;rendition&#8217; of the &#8220;This is it&#8221; rehearsals.
It was so scary real though that he knocked me off my feet and
I was glad there was a break so I could rehydrate and
be ready for the next performance.
I was documenting it also in piccies.
What a view though to be cruising around in
my Michaelized Hoodie and sporting an A5 Tab as camera, LOL.
That was the vow I made to keep myself from falling apart on that event,
It worked like a charm.

The after party was heaven.
How could a simple thing like, a DJ rocking his tunes
standing before a huge video screen, have such a blessed effect?
It&#8217;s the connection I felt between fans,
all just dancing and enjoying his music
whether they were just fans or performers.

Often, the crowd would break in &#8216;synchronized&#8217; dancing on
Thriller and Beat it and
the &#8216;snake line&#8217; was so much fun to do too, LOL.
Only to end in unison, holding hands and
celebrating the joy and the wonder of Michael Jackson
that brings us all together no matter where we live on the planet.
&#8220;People all over the world, people from country to country,
all the same in the world and one song to sing. &#8220;

~ Copyright 2014 ~


What's the HIGHLIGHT for you?
How did you experience the EJE event?
What memories will you treasure?


Let me know, okay!
Remember, always with L.O.V.E :agree:
