Well, that's the plan anyway! as you may or may not know, Michael Jackson has been booked to perform a series of concerts in London this year, and early into next. They sold out in minutes and thousands of fans were left disappointed and cheated of perhaps their last chance to see the man perform.
I was one of those disappointed... I expressed my dismay on these very pages, a feeling that I know only Junlee could appreciate. Still, the internet is a wonderful thing, and somehow, through a secure and official vendour, I now have two tickets to see MJ on Saturday January the 10th 2010! Sure they are about as far from the stage as they could be, but I saw Eminem under the same circumstances and that was awsome!
Now, for a start, this has cost me £300 which I really don't have right now. There'll also be the cost of travelling to and staying in London. Then there is the sketchy business as to whether Mr. jackson will be 'well enough' to perform one concert, let alone the 50 or so he has committed to performing. Seeing him shuffling round Las Vegas bookshops in a surgeon's mask doesn,t exactly fill one with confidence...
Still, for now, I'm on cloud nine. I know most of you wouldn't watch Michael Jackson if he was performing for free in the local park, but for me it's fulfilling a huge personal ambition. So hopefully, you'll be thrilled for me!
Chamone!

Well, enjoy your MJ FK! I'll still be in the army in January mind...
"I know most of you wouldn't watch Michael Jackson if he was performing for free in the local park"
That's me :P
"hopefully, you'll be thrilled for me!"
Oh, but I certainly am!
Besides that festival in July there's another concert, which was just announced, that I would love to go this year. Rammstein, in November. Unfortunately that's not a particularly good month for me (with the lack of vacations and all) and I'm afraid the tickets will sell out rather quickly, but maybe I'll have lady luck on my side.
Bomb ass father!!!! Be sure to take pictures, I don't give a damn how far away you are!!
Cheers Gnome! Holy crap! how long have you got to go dear heart?
Good luck Nebacha, I'm willing things to work out for you!
I reckon there's a good chance of a couple of snaps Junlee!
Wait...what...? You're in the army, gnome? Since when? Was it your choice or mandatory service?
Oh, well, I'll be there for less than a year. Hopefully 9 months, but that would also include almost a month off dear Father :) And -as you coreectly sort of guessed dear Nebacha- it is mandatory. Very much so. At least I managed to postpone it that far... I'll be the oldest around.
Guess I might manage a few posts in my days off.
I tried to get tickets, but couldn't. And I'm not paying the current asking price for the tickets to see a kiddy fiddling ex-n***a. Yes, I said it. *lol*
I think his best shows will be around the 5th - 10th gigs. I imagine his 1st couple will be shit with him finding his feet and enduring technical issues, and the final ones will be a mess because he's burnt out and tired.
It'll be interesting to see if he still has it though. I don't think he has. Hopefully he'll surprise me, and others who are in doubt of if he still has it now.
You'll have to look me up when you're in London. :P
That's wrong J, but it made me laugh! lol
I've been hearing he's been rehearsing like crazy and the set pieces are supposed to be ridiculous. It wouldn't surprise me if he arrived via elephant with a space suit on.
I'm anxious to see how they turn out. I think they'll either be a disaster or they'll be great. I don't expect any middle ground when it comes to MJ. I expect his voice is probably shot, but I hope he can still break it down. We shall see!
Yes J that IS wrong! However, I think your analysis of MJ's potential performance is perhaps spot on...
I hope he's on form Junlee. I know you'll be there in spirit!
I was in London back in November 2006 for the Casino Royale premiere and was in a hotel a block down from where MJ was staying for the World Music Awards. It was nuts! Anybody with a street-facing room couldn't sleep through the constant chanting of "Michael, Michael!" Here in the states there isn't as much enthusiasm for him, but abroad... wow.
Enjoy the show when it happens! :D
