A Past "Do or Die" quote from Michael! Coincidence or Clue?

[Moddie777]

Me too...
I was also wondering about the lyrics of his songs,especially the ones from Dangerous and on.
There must be stuff hidden in there.

Yes! Dangerous has clues of Michael feeling blocked from the one he loved.

He often sang of walls and barriers during that era.

Me and other fans interpreted many songs of MJ's for a thread in Michaelmania, we were intertested in the romantic clues he put in his songs but actually as I researched, I found OTHER clues hidden in his lyrics and poems.

I can't remember at the moment but we did discuss extensively how lyrics in one or two of his songs pointed to those among HIS buisness to play a role in a past relationship that our Michael continued to sing about and long for.( Its a longggggggggg story, lol and that thread in michaelmania has over 600 post!).

I agree with what you said about "Dancing the Dream".

He does pour out his romantic soul alot in that book.

I have interpreted several of his poems for a thread in Michaelmania, but at that time I was only looking for clues of a relationship.

I need to go take a deeper look at it for the angle of his buisness relationship w/his handlers and Music Executors.

Hmmmmmm

Now I know I'm not going crazy never look at the songs of Michael the romantic side. "Threatened" is the first that comes into my mind now.

Exactly--there are so many examples of his messages in his lyrics--"Unbreakable" is another great example on Invincible of Michael's message regarding his inner strength---IMO it was clearly a message to those who would try to break him that they underestimate his strength and determination.

Here's Something elese I Just found from MOONWALK that may get the hairs on the back of her head standing up( or maybe not).


Here's a question for you?

When the cameras around Michael Jackson are rolling and "his crew" are in place, have you ever felt if anything bad should happen..............well you know such as a very bad accident or being caught on tape hours before your murder, would the handlers/ executives around
him would ever think of benefiting from it somehow, would they?

Do you think "This is it was" the first time?!

No!!!!!! In fact, in MOONWALK, oUR Michael tells us in his own words in happened with the pepsi commercial!!!!!!!!
On page 235 second paragraph, Michael sets up the scene and informs us, he was Shooting at night( he was aware he was being filmed) for the pepsi commercial. HE ALSO ADMITS SOMETHING SCARED HIM, THAT NO ONE AROUND HIM HAD BOTHERED TO TELL HIM ABOUT : The bombs for the explosions were 2 ft away on either side of his head, he writes, " which was a total DISREGARD of the safety regulations. I was suppose to stand in the middle of a magnesium explosion, two feet on either side." This is significant, at 29 yrs old, Michael was telling us, then how he was aware and knowledgeable of safety rules, violations and regulations. He wanted to be safe and wasn't happy when he found out about the violations. You can tell how he worded it at the top of page 236.

He goes on to write: " Then Bob Giraldi, the director came to me and said, Michael, your're going down too early. we want to see you up there, up on the stairs when the lights come on, we want to reveal that you're there, so wait".

THE LAST TWO WORDS FROM GIRALDI MOUTHS, "SO WAIT" are Emphasised in the book, Michael wants us to see this, he wants us the reader to understand, who gave him the directive that caused the burn, that should not have occured if the bombs were in proper place. Remember, Michael was unaware the bombs were not in position until "Later" as he describes it in his own words.

Next paragraph he writes: " So I waited, the bombs went off on either side of my head and the sparks set my hair on fire".

He goes on and on describing it detail by detail and how Miko was the first at his side and how Jermaine thought it was a shot by someone in the crowd, the ambulance ride and the THIRD DEGREE BURNS from it, then there is this.

At the bottom of page 237 he writes: " What we now know is that the INCIDENT created a lot of PUBLICITY for the commercial. They sold MORE PEPSI then ever before.".

Michael Jackson 1988

Something I found kinda odd is, Michael places the Pepsi Executives on the scene of the fire on page 238 . What I am not sure about is whether they were at the commercial taping and saw everything as it unfolded or if Someone had called them and they quickly showed up at the hospital. Why was their presence needed if they were at the commercial taping.

Is it because Michael Jackson was "their Investment" and they wanted to make sure things would work in their favor?

Remember this about the tape of the pepsi commercial. It has Mysteriously surfaced after our Michael's Murder and played over and over on national Media before his burial( I think).

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Makes you wonder a little, doesn't it?

The execs. were at the scene, Kathy Griffin was on The View and she was actually there in the audience as it happened. She said that a lot of the Pepsi people were more worried about filming than Michael himself.

It was more than just no promotion for Invincible though.

Sony rejected the 1999 album Michael produced.
Sony wouldn't promote Invincible.
Sony wouldn't release the singles Michael wanted. (MJ wanted Unbreakable first and didnt want Cry released 2nd)
Sony wouldn't release 'What More Can I Give'.
Sony wouldn't agree to give Michael his masters back in 3 years. They wanted and got 7 years (2009).
Sony wouldn't release 'What More Can I Give' again after Hurricane Katrina.

And this is just what we know.

Great post! Michael's 2002 battle with SONY interests me a lot. There was little press about it at the time.
Michael said Tommy Mattola was a racist.
There was another charity single Michael did which never came out called "From the Bottom of my Heart" in 2005 for the victims of 'Hurricane Katrina'.
Tommy Mattola now calls himself the "gatekeeper" of Michael Jackson's music this gives me chills!

About the charity song "What More Can I Give" The inspiration for the song had initially come to Michael after a meeting with the then President of South Africa 'Nelson Mandela' in the late 1990s. The song was to be premiered at a Michael Jackson concert, but the singer failed to perform it. The song also failed to gain an official release, despite the pop singer having stated that it would be issued as a charity single for the refugees of the 'Kosovo War', which ended in 1999.
Following the 'September 11 attacks' in 2001, Michael rewrote "What More Can I Give". Michael and other artists recorded the NEW version of the song shortly afterward; the other artists included Beyoncé Knowles, Celine Dion, Luther Vandross, Mariah Carey and Usher. In addition, a Spanish language version of the song was recorded. Entitled "Todo Para Ti", its lyrics were written by musician 'Rubén Blades'.
"What More Can I Give" was scheduled for release as a charity single, in the hope that $50 million would be raised to aid the survivors and the families of victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The plan, however, NEVER came to fruition and the reasons why have varied between sources and the individuals involved. One newspaper stated that the release of the song was abandoned after it emerged that the executive producer had directed 'pornographic movies'!
The producer, 'Marc Schaffel', denied that he was to blame, and offered the opinion that the song was not released as part of a "marketing ploy" by Sony Music!!
I think money from "What More Can I Give" went to children's charities?

Did Michael Jackson do anything for the Tsunami victims in 2004?

^ Michael and Jermaine and the Prince of Bahrain were about to produce a song , but the trail stopped that project and i think this was the first time MJ got to know the prince.

anyway, thanks fr this topic...David Gest said michael was never the same after the Papsi accident !!! i think that MJ believed that they did not care about him as a human being and this hurt him so much .
