What was your experience on September 11?

I was in New York and I got a call from Saudi Arabia that America was being attacked. I đã đưa ý kiến no way. I turned on the news and saw the twin towers coming down and I said, “ Oh my God.” I screamed down the hallway to all our people. “Everybody get out, let’s leave now. Marlon Brando was on one end, our security was on the other end, we were all up there but Elizabeth was at another hotel. We all got out of there as quickly as we could. We didn’t know if our building was next. If it was domino effect. How they had girls that had been at the hiển thị the night before, prior to the explosion showed the loyalty of fans, were banging on the windows, running down the đường phố, street screaming, we couldn’t get out of the garage. They are so loyal. It was unbelievable. I was scared to death.

What artists past and present inspire you?

Stevie Wonder is a musical prophet. All of the early Motown. All the Beatles, I’m crazy about Sammy Davis Jr., Charlie Chaplain, Fred Astair, Gene Kelly, Bill Bojangles Robinson, the real entertainers, the real thing, not just gimmicks, hiển thị stoppers. When James Brown was with the Famous Flames was unbelievable. There are so many wonderful singers. Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand, to Johnny Mathis, real stylists, bạn hear one line and know who it is. Nat King Cole, great stuff. Marvin Gaye, Sam Cook, they are all ridiculous.

What do bạn do for fun, for recreation?

I like water balloon fights. We have a water balloon forte here, there’s the red team and the blue team. We have slings and canons and bạn are drenched bởi the time the game is over. There is a timer and whoever gets the most points in is the winner. I don’t do anything like bóng rổ hoặc golf. If I’m going to do some kind of sport, if bạn want to call that a sport, bạn have to laugh. I want to laugh. bóng rổ bạn get very competitive and so is tennis, makes bạn angry. I’m not into that I like to laugh, have fun, laugh with it. That’s what it should be, fun, therapeutic. I tình yêu that. I also like to go to amusement parks, animals, things like that.

How involved were bạn in selecting the artists to perform in your 30th special?

I wasn’t involved at all.

How were bạn able to let go of something so big and so special?

Trust.

Is there still a fantaisie that bạn maintain of something that you’d like to do in your career?

I’d like to see an international children’s holiday when we honor our children, because the family bond has been broken. There’s a Mother’s ngày and a Father’s ngày but there’s no children’s day. I really would I would mean a lot. It really would. World peace, I hope that our tiếp theo generation will get to see a peaceful world, not the way it’s going now.

At what point in your life did bạn realize that bạn were different, a visionary?

I never thought about, I just always accepted it from the heavens and đã đưa ý kiến on my knees, “Thank you.” Whenever I write a song and I know that it is musically correct, there are no laws to music, but when it feels right, I get on my knees and I say, “ Thank you.” I really do, I mean it. Because it drops into your lap just easy and magical with no effort.

Did hát ever stop being fun and become work?

It’s always been fun, unless I get physically sick, it’s always fun. I still tình yêu it.

What is your financial status?

I’m taking care of fine.

Michael, don’t be embarrassed, when I think about van Goug, Bach, Beethoven, Elvis, bạn are an innovator, your work as changed the face of music, changes the face of video setting a standard that still stands, no one has come close to what bạn have accomplished, where does Michael Jackson go from here?

Thank you, thank you. I have deep tình yêu for film and to pioneer and innovate in the medium of film. To write and direct and produce movies. To bring incredible entertainment.

What kind of movies? Are bạn looking at scripts?

Yes, but nothing has been finalized yet.

Are bạn writing?

Uh huh.

Are bạn ever lonely?

Of course. If I’m on stage, I’m fine there. bạn can have a house full of people and still be lonely from within. I’m not complaining because I thin it’s a good thing, for my work.

Why do bạn think very young children today are as excited about bạn as if were here to witness your historical landmarks that took place before they were born?

They learn from there parents, they hear it. TV shows everything that I’ve done. They hear all the songs on TV, VH1 around the world, they are rediscovering it all over again. It’s not like they missed it, it’s always been there.

Tell me about the new CD Invincible. “ Speechless.”

You’ll be surprised. I had a big water balloon fight, I’m serious, in Germanym and what inspires me is fun. I was with these kids and we had big water balloon fight and I was so happy after the fight that I ran upstairs in their house and write “Speechless.” That’s what inspired the song. I hate to say that because it’s such a romantic song. But, it was the fight that did it. I’d had fun, I was happy, and I wrote it in it’s entirety right there. I felt it would be good enough for the album. Out of this bliss comes magic, comes wonderment, comes creativity. It’s about having fun, it really is.

“Break of Dawn.”

Freeze and myself wrote “Break of Dawn.” It’s just a beautiful, strolling in the park kind of song. There’s a good summer feel about it. It’s one of my favorites. It’s Denzel Washington’s yêu thích song. He blasts it all the time.

“You Are My Life.”

Thank you. We all wrote that one.


Tell me about how your creativity normally comes to you?

bạn don’t force it. Let nature take its course. I don’t at the đàn piano and think, “I’m going to write the greatest song of all time.” It doesn’t happen. It has to be được trao to you. I believe it’s already up there before bạn are born and then it drops right into your lap, I it really does. It’s the most spiritual thing in the world. If people could witness what it feel like. When it comes it comes with all of the accompaniments, the strings, the bass, the drums, the lyrics and you’re just the nguồn through which it comes, the channel, really, honestly. Sometimes I feel guilty putting my name on the songs written bởi Michael Jackson because it’s as if the heavens have done it already, I mean it. Like Michaelangelo would have this huge piece of marble from the quarries of Italy and he’d say, “Inside is a sleeping form. And he takes hammer and chisel and he’s just freeing it. It’s already in there. It’s already there.

What do bạn collect?

I like anything Shirley Temple, babies, children, Shirley Temple, Shirley Temple, lots of Shirley Temple. Little Rascals, Three Stooges, a lot of Three Stooges. I tình yêu Curly, he kills me. I my brothers we tình yêu Curly, we just tình yêu him. I tình yêu Curly so much that I did a book on Curly. I got his daughter and she and I wrote a book on him. Women have a hard time with all the slapping and poking and stuff, guys tình yêu that stuff. My mother loved Abbott and Costello, but we would say, “We want the Three Stooges.”

Tell me about your fashion selections.

It wasn’t conscious, it happens that way.

Is there anything that bạn would like to say to VIBE readers?

I tình yêu Quincy. I mean, I really do. I think he is wonderful soul and a beautiful person. And I think bạn should tell the readers, don’t judge a person bởi what they hear hoặc even what they read unless they heard from the person. There is so much tabloid, sensationalism going on that’s totally false. Don’t fall prey to it, it’s ugly. I hate the tabloids. I’d like to take them all and burn them. I want bạn to print it, don’t believe tabloid press, tell them that. Don’t believe tabloid press. Some of them try to disguise themselves but they are still tabloid press.

All Michael really wanted as an adult was to be a kid.To run round until your parents called bạn in,to ride your bike round town to just be a normal kid.Joe Jackson didn't give a damn about Michael.All he wanted was thêm money. Michael's older brothers Jermain and Jackie often bought girls back to the hotels they stayed at.We all know what happened after that.Then when michael became an adult,Those stupid tabloids đã đưa ý kiến a load of crap about him.He was just trying to be the kid he never could be.Now hes dead. Martin bashisheadintoawall as i call him đã đưa ý kiến some awful stuff to.We all miss bạn michael. i hope youv'e found your childhood.
