still not over MJ. jus wish they'd play recordings of his live shows/concerts on telly. I remember him most as a live performer.
and I can't believe I didn't mention "Moonwalker"! OH MAN, i fking love that film! in the same way that I love "Speed". EVERY time they showed it on telly I watched it. Dude, this is the film with the epic extended vid for "Smooth Criminal". Zoot Suits FTW! And those blue accents on MJ's off-white suit? The armband, the bit of ribbon round his fedora. I thought he looked amazing.
and anddd, the movie intro-ed the song "Come Together" to me. I had no idea it was a Beatles song back then. I thought it was an original MJ number for the longest time. and i NEVER got the lyrics- hell i still don't know them! haha
so let us come together over the music.
let's not forget that it's Glasto this weekend, and some MAD performances have gone down (i am getting so close to going and getting tix for Lady Gaga)
I wish I was there..esp for this one, maannn..
Dizzee Rascal- Bonkers
and this
Kasabian- Club Foot

MTV's showing his live performances now, from VMAs mostly. Just now they received call-ins from Fabolous and later on Usher. I love Usher!
And MJ's moonwalk still makes my jaw drop and maybe will continue to floor me all the time. Wanted to cmmt on your prev entry ytd but didn't know what to write. When I watch the news I keep wondering about Janet Jackson too
I like the acoustic vers of "Poker Face" :-)
anjali you should totally be here with me now! it's just heartbreaking, especially here. there was a big memorial last night in the apollo theatre, and everyone danced (i watched on tv for fear of being trampled) and on TV there's at least four hours of MJ every day. about the wills, the children, etc and all the scandals. Everyone is just so heartbroken, and they play his songs at the loudest volume in their cars. :(
Jean: When Usher put his hand on MJ's coffin at the memorial..that was momentous. Almost like, the passing on of the baton? But then again, I don't think that's even possible. MJ is too great. The Greatest entertainer that ever lived.
I can only moonwalk with socks on a parquet floor, so far. Even then it's some lameass, sorry attempt at a moonwalk..sigh
su: i wish i was there..i think it would make the mourning so much more..meaningful and fulfilling. There isn't enough appreciation here, at least not outward appreciation.
They aired the memorial live on CNN, i dunno if you watched it as well? It was an enormous relief to finally get to grieve properly..with the rest of the world in a way. Connected via the television screen, all sending our prayers together.
