BLZFAN4LIFE Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/2009/07/05/...15875-21495043/ MICHAEL Jackson starred as the Scarecrow in The Wiz, the 1978 musical version of The Wizard of Oz – playing the character without a brain opposite Diana Ross as Dorothy. Did they have to go there?
WellDressed Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 I really hope Jermaine sings "Do what you do" for his brother later this afternoon. edit: Sources say that Jermaine will represent the Jackson family, singing Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile.” If this comes off as planned and hoped, Jermaine will steal the spotlight from many superstars including Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Usher, Mariah Carey, and Jennifer Hudson. Twenty five years ago (1984), Jermaine released an album that should have made him a star in his own right. But for reasons that remain unclear, after he had hits, Jermaine’s career fizzled. This should be an extraordinary moment for him.

I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure it out.
WellDressed Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 That was a sad farewell. I wish Janet would have shared something. RIP MJ

KD in CA Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 I really hope Jermaine sings "Do what you do" for his brother later this afternoon. I just don't know if I'll be able to hold it together if that happens....
DC Tom Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Are you an "Elitist" for criticizing the overhype of Jackson's media coverage? HOWARD KURTZ: Don't you feel deep down that this is overdoing it? DON LEMON, CNN ANCHOR: No, I don't feel it's overdoing it. And I don't -- and when I hear people say that, I have to be very honest with you, Howie, I think it's elitist. I don't remember -- I'm sure there was some criticism when there was the coverage of Princess Diana's death, but I don't think that there was this sort of criticism that we're having with Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson is an accidental civil rights leader, an accidental pioneer. He broke ground and barriers in so many different realms in artistry, in pictures, in movies, in music, you name it. So, no, I don't think it's overkill. Never mind the irony of the media calling anyone else "elitist"...an "accidental civil rights leader"? What? For who, Bubbles the Chimp?
VOR Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Where do they get this crap from? I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure it out. Because Jermaine's songs basically sucked?
The Dean Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 He masturbated to it. I don't want to know how you know that.
Chef Jim Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 I don't want to know how you know that. I read his posts.
The Dean Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 I read his posts. To reach that conclusion, you have been reading them harder than I care to. (Yes, I said "harder", ya pervs. I almost replaced "reached" with "come to", but I thought that was gilding the lily.)

(Yes, I said "harder", ya pervs. I almost replaced "reached" with "come to", but I thought that was gilding the lily.) Yes that's the conclusion I arrived at. I'm also sure as to what conclusion he came to.
WellDressed Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 You watched it? Yes sir, and I enjoyed it. MLK III had a nice little eulogy, the musicians did a descent job, it was really hard for Jermaine to perform but he held himself together rather well. Everyone did a great job with their personal MJ experiences, except for that loud ass preacher al sharpton.the I am a huge supporter of musical Jackson family. I have never seen them perform but I have followed Michael, Jermaine and Janet's career since the early 80's. I listened to the 5 during their victory tour in philly's JFK stadium while attending a phillies game in '84. I was way up in the 700 nose bleed seats; the top row allowed an unobstructed view of JFK.
WellDressed Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Because Jermaine's songs basically sucked? He could sing circles around a lot of today's artists. Slappy, I am part the MTV generation. What do you know about 80's music?? -----Lemmie rephrase that, I am part of the pre-MTV generation.
Chef Jim Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 He could sing circles around a lot of today's artists. So could my cat everytime he stuck his tail in the electrical socket.
Wacka Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Well the circus is over. It had elephants, courtesy of Ringling Brothers and clowns named Jesse and Al.
Steely Dan Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 So could my cat everytime he stuck his tail in the electrical socket.
