How did you feel when Michael Jackson officially announced that he was going to do his last concerts in london? How did it make you feel? I felt happy but i did not understand why he said last concerts in london but i was like wow Michael Jackson going back on tour? This is huge!! This would make it the first time he would tour since 1997! :) This what we be waiting for since the trial ended. This was the start of new projects to come. A 2ND chance...then he was gone...and it made me think. WHAT? he was about to tour!!! :angel:
 
on one side, I feel so happy.... he´s back, finally! ...u know? I´ve wait so long for the chance to see him again on stage. :)

but on the other side it scares me... it´s hard to explain - deep inside I feel that this returning is not good for him. :(

I knew that I needed a ticket. And I didn't really believe it would be the last tour. Probably his last concerts in London, but not his last concerts altogether...

:(
 
That a dream would come true-thats what I felt when I heard he was gonna tour again.

My parents didnt allow me to go and see him on the HIstory tour since I was 11 at that time.. so when he announced TII and I was able to get tickets on the pre-sale, I just felt an overwhelming joy and happines.
 
Excited and surprised, but a little disappointed that I just wanted him to tour in Canada, I mean it isn't fair for us Canadians to never experience much of Michael's magic like he gave to the rest of the world.

Same here the closest chance I ever had to see Michael was in 2001, and I was too young to travel to NYC for a concert, I was 21 when he announced TII and I figured I would scoop up tickets once he announced the continental tour dates.

Now the closest I will ever get to experiencing his magic is one of the Vegas shows
 
I was surprised and happy for him. Even though I wasn't going to be able to go since I live in the U.S. But I was still happy for him. Even though at the time I should had sense something was wrong when he announced those tours. But I didn't and I really didn't think much about it at the time. I was just too happy at the time that he was touring again. To really think anything about it.
 
I was surprised because I never thought he'd tour without first releasing an album.

I was also dubious about whether or not this is what he truly wanted to do.

And of course, super excited.
 
I was ecstatic because I would finally get a chance to go and see him... :(
 
I was so excited, this would be the first, only and last chance all in one, that I would get to see Michael Jackson live.

I remember watching the press conference live on Sky News, my eyes were fixated on the screen, my heart pounding and my mind just buzzing with excitement.

My girlfriend thought I was a right weirdo haha :)
 
Prior to his announcement, I was sure that he would tour again. I don't know how to explain it...I just felt it inside. I was so happy when I found out that, what I felt, was going to come true. I couldn't wait to see MJ and to read about all the excitement of his future concerts. If only I could, I would have bought tickets for all 50 of them :sigh:
 
From the day of the announcement, I knew there was something wrong.
Like I said in other topics about this, I felt he was trying to tell something and he wanted to get out of the industry and this was his last way out.

But still I had to get tickets just in case the concerts WOULD happen and I got two of them for july 22nd.
My girlfriend had the same feeling and kept telling me not to get TOO excited because she was so sure he would cancel the concerts but she didn't expected what eventually happened.
 
I was backpacking in Central America when I saw the announcement in a small café on CNN. I saw 'Michael Jackson' rolling over the screen, and I immediately thought: 'he's dead, o my god he's dead!'', I told my boyfriend, and he was like: 'No, look! It's just an announcement, and he looks off...'. Although I was relieved that Michael was alive and well, I was in no position to buy tickets in the middle of my half year traveling. I kept hoping for a world tour to follow-up, which I sure would've attended. Still weird that my first thought was about him being dead :(
 
I always thought that he could do it if he got past all his health problems...........


..........My first thought was "The Comeback of Quality into the Music Industry"...........


..........But even after I got my tickets..........It didn't seem real!!!!!!!
 
Excitement as I never thought I would ever get to see Michael live in concert, my parents wouldn't let me go to HIStory as I was only 11. Now I feel guilt about being excited, like did my excitement help out too much pressure on Michael.
 
It felt sureal for me.
I wanted to save money no matter how just to see him.
But I was afraid. I did. It all seemed like a strange dream.

Yes.... :( I was soooooo happy too.... Michael was 3 times in my country and I could not go see it. I bought two tickets for TII. I was very happy, but part of me was worried... I do not know why. :( NOW.... We never see Michael. :cry: *big sigh*
 
I was happy because i felt it was something he wanetd to do and was ready to do have his career being sidetracked for so many years. I was excited that i would be old enough to experince MJ the performer. I was also happy that his kids were now old enough to to comprhend their father's importance to music and were going to see him him in action. After michael made the announcement he started going to the doctor's(klein) very frequently, i thought it was odd but i didn't think much of. It seems like everyone or mostly everyone in the media was against him, i remember the weeks leading up there were rumors of him having cancer which he denied after all of speculation, one tabloid even gave him 6 months to live :( i wanted him ro prevail. If Michael had decided never to perform or tour again I would have been disappointed as a fan but i would understand, he had given basically his entire life to the world so even he was happy raising his kids and taking and enjoying the hstory he mad over 4 decades I wouldn't complain.

I reading in Ktherine's book that he had said the Bad tour was going to be his last tour and even his mother knew that wasn't the truth, performing was in his blood. With Michael he always wanted to out due himself and give more, he always used to say the bedt is yet to come and maybe it was but he was always saying he was going to do so much to the point were we would go ok Michael we love you but we'll believe it when we see. I know alot of it wasn't his fault, deals fell through, lawsuits came and alot of drama ruined alot of his plans.
 
He said he didnt like TOUR.. This wasnt a tour, it was a residency. The reasons he gave for not liking touring werent factors in this residency. Same timezone, not travelling. It would have been much better for him than one of his previous tours.

I was ecstatic. Had to get a ticket, I missed out on the first 10 dates. But then I was on the page for the tickets and kept refreshing, only to find they had added more dates! XD I got awesome seats only a few rows back from the stage on the 30th July.

But at the same time, it didnt feel right that it was happening. It was weeks before the show and I hadnt even thought about how I was going to get down to London, there was no sense of urgency there.

I was going through a bit of a rough time at that point, that show was all i had to look forward. Needless to say it turned into the worst year of my life so far.
 
I was very, very upset. I was angry at the most. I had been patiently waiting, always "knowing" he would be back someday and would have the chance to see him again.

But not in London.
I was like... WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT????? tHE FINAL COURTAIN CALL???? Just 10 shows??? Just LONDON???? Why on earth LONDON?????

:angry: :angry:

I was totally dissappointed, angry, upset. I wanted to see him, but what was I to do??? Travel half the world to have a chance?? Why? Why always the same lucky guys? :ranting WHY????

And so on.


So I was basically ---> :ranting, for I knew I will not be able to travel that far, to spend a little fortune to make it. So then I got really very sad. Very, very sad.

Eventually I learned about the new shows and I knew he would make it until March 2010 and I got wild!!! I could travel in Feb, I'll do it, I'll do it!!! And then, of course, there were no tickets left (aggggg :doh:), but I didn't care about that. I was ready to book the flight next week, for I was sure I will get a ticket somehow, someway. I didn't care!! If not, I will just go to the O2 and sit outside, knowing he was there, still enjoying the excitment.

And then June came.

And then my life really changed.

And now, months later, I just live 1 hour from London and some 1,5 from the O2.

And now, he is not anymore.

Talk about the ironies of life......

:(
 
i knew he didn't want to. i knew they were gunna stretch it all over the world. and i know that's what he didn't want. i wanted to see him, but i knew he was done touring from the phm's and such, and talking about doing new things, expecially movies, right up to the last minute. so i know touring(and that's what this was)wasn't what he wanted. and the fear of speaking factor was in the air.
 
I was soo very very happy.

He looked very fit during the press conference and I had no doubt he could do it.

I was so exited.

I am going to be absolutely truthful to all of you. Although I loved the idea, when I saw him on camera being as thin and gaunt as he was, I thought "I hope nothing bad happens before this tour - he just doesn't look good". Remember, the camera adds about 10 pounds to you...so when he came out of that van being that thin on camera, I was worried. Truly worried...for his health.

That is my true honest initial impression.

I had this awful feeling since January of 2007 when out of nowhere I was hit with the worry that "something is going to happen". And I hadn't even scoured the news for pics of him etc.
I started hording my MJ stuff in an "easily accessible corner", literally for "when I will need it most." 3 days before it happened I was getting sentimental over tapes and CDs? Weird, I thought.

That day came. Many people seemed to sense something and that was one of the worst ways to find your premonitions to be true.
