On The Subject of Jacko Doing The O2.......
 

Many of yous may have come across the various news reports on Michael Jackson planning a few nights at The O2 Arena (London) later this year. Of course, everything is still speculation at first, and normally fans wait for either a confirmation or a denial from Raymone Bain (Jacko's spokesperson).

Anyway, I just thought I'd let yous know that today a fan has received the following reply from Raymone (via email) regarding the reports:

I for one never believed that Mike might follow Prince and do a few shows at The O2 Arena (he's never performed at arenas during his solo years...only stadiums, including Giants :lol: ).

However, I am now a bit sceptical over these alleged plans. Currently, I (still) don't see it happening.

I'll keep yous updated if I come across anything worth posting :)

Hard to say. If Michael Jackson wants to try and regain some of his glories again, he's gona need to anything he can. He's lucky to be given the chance these days.

Back in 2001 during the launch of Invincible, he was signing copies of the album in Virgin! If he does that this late in his career, then who knows.

I'm always asking myself if I'd ever go see Michael Jackson live if I had the chance today, and I'm never sure. Sure, it'll be an expreience and a one in a lifetime for me, as I've never seen him live before. Plus I guess he was my first real musical interest and first artist I actually bought an album of, so there is that. However, I'm not half the Michael Jackson fan I used to be years ago. He's done sod-all in the last 10 years. Just one so/so album and a load of compilations.

It'll never be like the 80's or early 90's for him ever again, unless his new album is truely amazing. I reckon his new album will be "quite good" at best.

I was browsing the web on my phone and saw a small report about MJ playing at the o2. Said he'd be playing there for a month!


Just tried to find it again, seems to have been deleted though :(

Sorry, had to bump this thread, coz I got off the phone to Suleman (from Britain's Got Talent) five minutes ago, and apparently there's some truth in this:

Thanks Mo for the info (Oh! Oh! It rhymes!)

I'd really like to see MJ live, only just recently gotten into him but man I really wanna see him.

Would love to see MJ live, kinda got used to the fact that I won't be able to now though.

If this happens i'll def be trying for tickets though!

Id love to see MJ live too, although he'd have to work hard to impress me anywhere near as much as Prince did live. The greatest live performer on the planet IMO.

But yeah, MJ, i'd love to see him live

I did see him live somewhere in the 90´s. Never been a big fan, though. Still, the first record I ever bought was Thriller shortly after it was released.

There was absolutely nothing spontaneous in that live show. (Not to say it isn´t a problem with almost everybody these days). But the singing was very strong, I was amazed how little he gasped his breath despite of all the dancing and running...

= playback ???


Anyway, I´m waiting for the next MJ album. Does anybody know if or when it´s going to come out?

Although Jacko got me into music in the 1st place, I wouldn't waste my time or money with him now. His lip synching is bad enough, but the way he puts his hand over his mouth to try and cover it is just embarassing.

Anyone looking to deny it, just look at this:

Just out of curiosity, do you know whether it was the Dangerous Tour (1992-1993) or the HIStory Tour (1996-1997)?

If it was the latter, I can exclusively tell you that the show was 90% lip synched :)
