Extremely tight security accompanied the release of the new Michael Jackson single "This Is It" on Monday. The new track will feature in an upcoming album and documentary of the same name, to be released at the end of October.
The song "This is It" isnow streaming here at the Michael Jackson website. Check it out for lots of details on the upcoming cd release.
MICHAEL JACKSON'S "fourth child" OMER BHATTI was accepted as the star's biological son by the rest of the Jacksons, according to reports. The 25 year-0ld dancer was allegedly born after the King of Pop had a one night stand in 1984, and he is now seeking a DNA test to verify whether Jackson is in fact his father...(click the shared link for the full story and photos).
Here's a video of Omer Bhatti through the years.
That is him circled on the left at the memorial service.
I am deeply saddened by the news of Michael Jackson's death. This is one of my favorite songs and I hope you will listen to the lyrics as you watch this video that shows Michael Jackson from his early years to his most recent years. I don't know him, but want to thank titemanson29 at YouTube for making and posting the video. Thank you for taking the time to make and post this video.
It seems like so many of my posts lately have been a reflection of my earlier years in life. Here we go again. I am not even going to try and compose a sentence now, but instead just list a bunch of my rambling thoughts.
Earliest Memories:
"A, B, C, easy as 1, 2, 3" What a great song that was!
Begging My Mom to buy certain kinds of cereal, because it had a paper Jackson Five record embedded on the box.
Hearing "Rockin' Robin" blast through the elementary gymnasium as my sister was part of a pompom routine. She was in 8th grade, I was in 2nd grade. That was the first time I ever heard that song. I still can't sing the "diddlydeetdeet" or whatever it was! I sure remember that "Tweet, Tweet" part! That song should be the official song for Twitter.
In high school skating to "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough."
Wearing a "Michael Jackson" jacket and parachute pants.
Winning two tickets to The Jacksons Victory Tour in 1984, when i lived near Chicago. I took my 7 year old step daughter H. to the concert at Soldier Field. H. was a big fan then and remains one still today. I'm sure that when she hears about Michael's death, she will be reminiscing about that concert. We had such a good time that night! It was absolutely thrilling. The concert included the entire Jackson family, but Michael did the most songs.
"Ben" was another one of my favorite songs. No, I did not realize that it was about a rat, until many months later.
"Thriller" was the first video I ever saw on MTV. I remember exactly where I was at and why and what I was doing at that time! I think "Thriller" was the biggest launch that MTV could've ever got. I always think of my little two year old step daughter T. singing that song--she would sing "Thwill-uh., Twill-uh..." She was so cute. Our whole family loved Michael Jackson.
Being mesmerized as I watch Michael do the moon walk on tv. I tried and tried for years to do that, and never could. He was such a talented dancer, not just a talented singer.
I have lots and lots more fond memories of Michael Jackson. These are just a few that instantly popped into my head.
I have every cd except his last one or two. I will probably buy them now.
I'm glad I bought a box of Kleenex the other night at CVS!
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Jackson family.
I look forward to all the tributes that are on television starting tonight. ABC has announced that it will be showing one for sure tonight. I hope people will just "Remember The Time" (another great song), I mean I hope people will just focus on the extremely talented singer and entertainer Michael Jackson and not any of the weird things that went on in the last few years. Now is not the time for that.
Will it play in Peoria? (Google that question)! Maybe you will find out at this blog or at least my humble opinion. I live on a small farm between Peoria, Illinois and St. Louis, Missouri.
Taking a break from blogging, but you can friend me on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
