One wonders if idiocy is something one is born with or comes to deeply prefer as they grow up.After his death, the 'This Is It' shows were described as the greatest comeback (in music history) that never happened.
That particular press conference was really odd.
For example, on certain occasions (during that press conference) Michael Jackson was laughing with no reason at all, which suggests that they drugged him up in order to make that very brief speech.
One wonders how much they would have drugged him up in order to perform these shows.
It's not hard to see why he was laughing, this was in a time when MJ doubted himself and thought that he wasn't loved by the public anymore. For the better part of a decade he was mainly known as a laughing stock instead of his talent, so to see the crowd still go nuts for him after all those years must've brought him a lot of joy. If it was me in his shoes I sure as hell would've been giggling like a schoolgirl too.For example, on certain occasions (during that press conference) Michael Jackson was laughing with no reason at all, which suggests that they drugged him up in order to make that very brief speech.

was there! electrifying experience!
For anyone who hasn't seen it^People also tend to forget he debuted that jacket - but than in blue - the year before at Audigier's birthday party. MJ definitely had a different style around that time.
If we go back further it was actually debuted in 2004, he had a jacket that was very similar to those 2 but it was in red and had a different crystal pattern instead.^People also tend to forget he debuted that jacket - but than in blue - the year before at Audigier's birthday party.

I never realized that! Cool!If we go back further it was actually debuted in 2004, he had a jacket that was very similar to those 2 but it was in red and had a different crystal pattern instead.
He also had another red variant that was more similar to the black and blue jackets from 2008/2009, he wore it the day after the O2 arena announcement
Randy Phillips (in his leaked emails and also in his testimonies) actually confirmed what Mark Lester stated about the singer being drunk right before and during the 'This Is It' press conference:Mark Lester... not the most reliable source IMO...
I doubt very much MJ had been drinking 2/3 of a whiskey.
I will on the other hand believe MJ was extremely nervous. For the better part of 10 years the media had ridiculed him, written nasty lies and the media will of course manipulate what people think. So it is understandable if MJ thought people would not care and he was nervous if he still had fans... So I think he was simply overwhelmed by the love and exitement he recieved. So glad that at least MJ knew in his final months that he was still the king. 50 sold out concerts in record time. - They could have sold out many many more concerts.
After MJ had many bad years, I am glad the last year he lived was happy and positive and he got to know how many fans he still had. - People cared enough to fly in from all over the world to London to see him.
I had tickets to 2 concerts. - Opening night, and then 2nd night that was suddenly moved many months back. - But at the time I was happy about it. Then I got to see opening night. And the buzz would have been unreal. - But also I would get to see 2nd leg, maybe with small changes in set-list and all the minor problems there always are at the first few concerts would have been corrected and perfected.
Still very very sad the concerts never happened. - But glad I got to see MJ during the HIStory tour.
