MJ tribute

[Howlin Mad Missy]

seen him live last month, he did ABC with the other kids from BGT, the young street dancer, the fuzzy haired kid from diverisity and some other kid who i can't remember in my drunk state .... they stole the show from Susan Boyle

I always thought she got too much attention.

you went to see the BGT live show? Was the young black girl in it? Thought she had potential (another one that lost her place because she couldn't sing her song choice IMO).

yeah took the kids they loved it... that girl wasnt there only the finalists and Darth Jackson.

oh dear

it was pretty cool strangly enough, there were notices all over saying stavros flatly wont be preforming and in the middle of DJ's routine there was this storm trooper doing the stavros it was classic... his son didn't turn up so they threw that in.

he also kept on trying to get a girl in the audience back stage.

Susan Boyle was amazing though

I was only there for my kids you understand

[Howlin Mad Missy]

bet you went to Dancing on Ice as well.

I wasn't overly comfortable with the political undertones from Sharpeton. Not really required imo.

I haven't seen the show but have had my fill from BBC world. From what they showed it looked pretty awful. Lionel Ritchie and Maria Carey? Yuck! Stevie Wonder singing to a coffin filled with plastic and bones and then Jacksons daughter being wheeled out to a public showing and all the tears.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against tributes. But that was gaudy, manipulative and lame.

Yeah, the likes of Sharpton & Jackson have sold out a lot of what they originally stood for & now just try to say what they think people want to hear & keeps their faces visible.

This thing of trying to put Michael Jackson in some kind of iconic political frame really pisses me off. Ignoring is private life completely, you can say he was a great musician & possibly the biggest superstar of all time. What he is not is some great political leader in the manner of Martin, Malcolm or Obama. He had a huge musical influence, but in no way was he responsible for a black man being elected into the white house.
