Album reviews : Michael Jackson and family tribute available now in french: Martin Scorcese directed the music video for Bad. Scorcese is most famous for his films Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and The Wolf of Wall Street. On the day he passed away (June 25th, 2009) Wikipedia, Twitter and AOL all simultaneously crashed at 3:15PM. This would’ve made our bills way more interesting. An island in the Caribbean once created Michael Jackson stamps. Jackson allegedly racked up a $1 million worth of library fines – how many books did he borrow?! The residents of Gabon, Ivory Coast gave Michael Jackson a royal title – which effectively made him a king in the village.
Michael Jackson top songs, career and his kids now: On the whole, Michael feels rather dull. Vocally, he’s on target the majority of the time, with the exception of the still manufactured-sounding, “Breaking News”, but musically it’s far from impressive. So many of the beats sound so derivative that it lacks any evolution, which is what Jackson was always about. Look at the transition between Off the Wall and Thriller, or better yet, Bad to Dangerous. He went from disco to ’80s synth, from hair metal aesthetics to New jack swing. What’s more, he always surrounded himself with the most top notch, key players in any industry. Do you think it was by chance that Jackson hired the likes of Macaulay Culkin or Michael Jordan for his videos? Remember, it was the early ’90s, those guys were just as much royalty as he was. The same went for Slash, or Eddie Van Halen, or Martin Scorcese, or Teddy Riley. That’s what’s missing on Michael.
Forever, Michael (1975): In the wake of Music & Me, a maturing Michael began to find his voice here. And while this set is filled with stunning vocals, making it a technically sound record, overall it’s pretty forgettable. It’s a solid if unspectacular effort that served as an appetizer for the musical feast that was soon to come. Forgotten Favorites: “We’re Almost There,” “One Day In Your Life,” “Dear Michael”.

About Michael Jackson: Whether you believe the allegations or not, it’s clear that he was never the same after Dangerous. The damage became too absolute, the vitriol aimed his way too severe for someone that sensitive. Never again could his music exist on its own merits, the illimitable genius ravaged by prescription pills, insomnia, and obliterating pressure. Dangerous is the last time that Michael Jackson was Michael Jackson. In that same way, it’s difficult to listen to Dangerous without considering the child molestation allegations that greeted him shortly after he came home from its marathon 69-concert tour. It’s tricky not to read too much into a song like “In the Closet.” How do you reconcile that someone as pure of spirit as Jackson could potentially have a monstrous streak?
Neste livro, a primeira parte da autobiografia dividida em três de Mocienne Petit Jackson, nós conhecemos a personagem principal, Mocienne. Nós lemos sobre as suas maravilhosas aventuras desde os seis até aos seus nove anos de idade. Ela viveu com o seu pai – Michael Jackson! – na Califórnia. Como ele não passava muito tempo em casa, ela estava sempre na companhia de uma ama. Contudo, uma ama estava sempre a ser substituída por outra. A Mocienne também ficava doente com regularidade. E o seu pai tomou uma importante decisão, a de a levar para o Haiti, para ir viver com uma tia – ele queria que ela fosse parte de uma família. A seu tempo, ela acaba por perceber que o seu pai não era como os outros pais e que ele não era quem ele alegava que era: um polícia. Ele visitava-a com regularidade no Haiti quando não estava ocupado com os seus espetáculos. A sua vida no Haiti não foi o que ela esperava – uma vida familiar normal. Ela contactou com pessoas muito gentis, mas também com outras que não eram tão gentis. Ela experienciou muitas coisas que não eram suposto ser experienciadas por uma menina daquela idade. Nós revivemos tais experiências com ela, à maneira que ela as descreve através dos olhos de uma muito jovem e vulnerável rapariga. Após se mudar para Porto Príncipe, a sua vida muda dramaticamente. E pouco depois, torna-se num verdadeiro pesadelo : THRILLER TRAIÇÃO (Portuguese Edition).
