Latest on MJJC

the 'smooth criminal' lean,

you will find all you need on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smooth_Criminal#Anti-gravity_lean

The effect in the video when Jackson and the dancers lean forward a seemingly impossible distance was achieved using special harnesses with wires and magnets. It was desired to replicate this effect for Jackson's stage show, but it would have been more obvious and cumbersome to use wire harnesses in a live performance. Jackson and his team devised an alternative way to achieve the effect on stage. The props needed for their technique were patented in the United States by Jackson in 1993,[7] and consist of pegs that rise from the stage at the appropriate moment, and special shoes with ankle supports and cutouts in the heels which can slide over the pegs and be thereby attached to the stage temporarily. These allow the performers to lean without needing to keep their centers of gravity directly over their feet.

and this thread should really be in MJ's Groove Theory :p

and you are a newbie.

Please google things before asking....

The comments and hate of new fans entering this forum at the moment is disgusting. Some has made the effort to google an mj forum , register and then post a question - i didnt even know the answer too. Who are you to turn around and say ? " ...not a sudden fan" so what if the op is a sudden fan? Because Michael has died his membership to be a fan has closed now? ? do you remember when you first posted here???? How on earth would you have felt if you had what you wrote back at you? ?

sometimes if you use google to look smth. up you will end up in a forum where anyone asks the exact same question and the first answer is: go and search for it with google...

isn't that dumb?

so please assume, that the thread opener already searched with google, but wasn't successfull. :)

I'm agreeing with u there! Just dont judge all new members as "sudden fans"..!
I've been a huge fan of MJ since my father and siblings talked about him when I was a child.. However I had somehow never came onto this site, until I read about this site on a article in Swedish newspaper that had to do with MJs death..

I'm hoping everyone don't judge the newbees of the forum for being "sudden fans".. Cause I too get irretated when people who hated Michael, suddenly adore him, and I would certainly not want to be called as one of them..

Just want to point out that Im not accusing "new fans" of being "bad people".. There are differences.. the ones I get irretated at are the ones that HATED MJ but now think he's great..
 
I don't recommend trying to do the lean...unless you have something soft like a bed in front of you.

You'll fall on your face...trust me...I did. LMAO

Wow, that's not very nice. As a newbie here myself I would have been really disappointed and annoyed at your reply had that have been my post. Who are you to question what type of fan the OP is?

Oh, just for your information I am not a sudden MJ fan. 'Thriller' was the first album I bought in high school and have followed Michael's career ever since, including seeing him in concert in 1992 and I was due to see him this month. I have never heard about this site until the documentary that was screened here in the UK a few nights ago where the reporter plays a clip of Randy Phillips and Kenny Ortega (I'm sure it was them) explaining to fans on the 'MJJC' site why the start of 'This Is It' was delayed. That's when I discovered this site and was only to happy to find people who feel the same way about Michael as do I

Haha we'll keep that in mind!

But those shoes? Does someone know if they are out their to purchase? I'm guessing the answer is no..
 
I don't have a lot of posts here yet because I just joined this forum after Michael did the O2 press conference and I wanted to stay up to date with the this is it shows.
(I had an account for a couple of years but never posted).
I'm a fan for about 28 years now but since the internet I've never bothered to join a fanclub or a forum for Michael.
I don't care if that makes me less of a fan in some peoples eyes as long as I know who and what I am.

On-topic: when moonwalker came out, I convinced all my friends it was a camera-trick.
No wires or stuff like that, no they just turned the camera a certain way to make it look like a lean.
Haha I was wrong and so dissapointed to find out it was done so simply (wires).
