The Press Conference is actually one of the greatest MJ-memories for me. The way he came out there, like the savior of the world, the boss, the huge mysterious icon of the entire planet - It was almost overwhelming. There he was - Michael Jackson - He was back at it, with style!
And that fist in the air was so tongue-in-cheek.
Funny thing is, he wanted to say something, but quickly dropped that when someone in the audience started chanting "This is it, this is it!", that made him wild and started dancing. And then he said "Theeeese will beeeee my final shooooow performances in LONDON" and as if he begged for a truce or acceptance from the audience, he finished it with an "mmkaaaay?", as if he would make sure that everyone in the building was OK with that decision. :woohoo:
It was like everyone in the world was watching him, waiting for his next step, his next move. The president and the jury's and the kings of the world stood there and waited for their emperor to give an order. This is the moment. This Is It.
