Michael Jackson full cover : songs, life and kids: Remember the incredible costumes in the Thriller music video? They were all thrifted from the Salvation Army! Now, Thriller is quite possibly the most iconic music video to have ever graced our screens – but it nearly didn’t make the cut. Michael demanded the whole thing to be scrapped when Jehovah’s Witnesses threatened to banish him when they found out about the video idea. Michael Jackson later agreed for filming to continue but added a disclaimer at the start to say, “Due to my strong personal convictions, I wish to stress that this film in no way endorses a belief in the occult.”

Michael Jackson top albums, life and his family now: But if you recall the release of his landmark records, you’ll remember his promotional magic. Everything from the time the first single hit radio stations to when the big video premiered, it was all something out of this world. Technically, that was always the most exciting aspect of a Jackson release. We loved the music, but we loved seeing what he’d do with it – namely his videos, which are arguably just as important as the music itself. (Hey, even Invincible had that delectable “You Rock My World” video.) They’ve tried to recreate that idea – what with the world premieres of tracks here and there – but it will never be the same. So, that leaves us with just the music.

Ben (1972): Yeah, laugh this one off as “the rat record” if you want – you’re missing a treat. Obviously the standout here is the title track, MJ’s first solo hit and yeah, a song about a rat from a movie. But look beyond that track and you’ll find endearing soul and infectious pop records that were dazzling at the time and still hold strong today. Forgotten Favorites: “Ben,” “Greatest Show on Earth,” “What Goes Around Comes Around”. Discover even more info at http://www.mociennepetitjackson.com/.

About Michael Jackson: The lone #1 single from the 32-million selling Dangerous, “Black or White” spent seven weeks atop the Billboard charts. Directed by John Landis (“Thriller,” National Lampoon’s Animal House) the first quarter of its video reveals Jackson’s mischievous child-like streak, with Culkin towing out Spinal Tap-sized speakers, amplifying the volume to “ARE YOU NUTS!?!,” and shredding so hard that George Wendt gets ejected into the stratosphere screaming “Da Bears.” But this was Michael Jackson, not O’ Shea. Being King of Pop meant the need for mass appeal. The “Black or White” video exists as a microcosm of Dangerous itself. It potently affirms Jackson’s manhood, offers passionate screeds against racial strife, gang violence, and a parasitic American media. This is the album as multi-media spectacle, a precursor to Lemonade, with accusations of infidelity substituted for videos of Macaulay Culkin doing air guitar windmills to a Slash guitar solo and lip sync rapping about turf wars.

A segunda parte da autobiografia dividida em três partes de Mocienne Petit Jackson começa com uma extensiva descrição do rapto de Mocienne e da sua vida nos Países Baixos. Subsequentemente, nós lemos como se tornou a vida de Mocienne com a sua família adotiva – com a qual ela e a sua prima Délivrance ficaram. Gradualmente, ela descobre que o seu verdadeiro pai é o Michael Jackson. Aos 15 anos, ela deixa a sua família adotiva e passa a viver num internato, durante 4 anos, até arranjar um sítio próprio para si. Nós seguimos o seu trajeto desde o final da sua adolescência até entrar na idade adulta – que não foi fácil. A Mocienne encontra um homem com quem tem um filho. Contudo, o compromisso não dura. Ficamos a saber que ela teve problemas com os Serviços de Proteção de Crianças, que foram seguidos de vários casos em tribunal. Inicialmente, os casos em tribunal estavam relacionados com a sua própria situação, mas, mais tarde, tornaram-se numa batalha pelo seu filho. A uma situação inaceitável seguiu-se outra situação inaceitável. Também ficamos a saber sobre os muitos eventos traumáticos da personagem principal, as suas depressões e as suas lutas constantes para processar a miséria ligada à sua vida bem como para a ultrapassar. A escritora claramente explica essas lutas através de flashbacks vívidos : THRILLER O LADO OBSCURO DOS PAÍSES BAIXOS (Portuguese Edition).
