New pictures.MJ out shopping

[Datsymay]

Watch it again... those 2 guys were actually trying to keep his path clear and shield him from the cameraguy... here is a better video, from MJNO:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox9b6Mlr1wc

Grace even says "Thank you guys!" at the end! And Michael gave autographs... if he would have been upset, he certainly wouldn't have done that! The pics look worse than the actual video!

Paps would have been there anyway, so I'd rather some fans be there as well as Michael alone with the paps!

And about the laughing... Michael was laughing because he didn't know where the car was and they laughed with him! Just watch and listen to the video!

I agree with you. I watched the video for myself, and what I saw was some very excited boys in the hood that were very surprised and excited to see MJ in their neighbourhood, as any of us would be. Yes, they charged forward to greet him, but they also tried to protect him from the mob that was about to form, which was far more effective than anything I see in London when MJ came here. I thought it was rather touching to hear the excitement in their voices as they told MJ they loved him. These were tough men in a tough neighbourhood, telling MJ that they loved him, I recond some of them were holding back tears. They were never going to hurt him, they were just overcome with excitement and emotions, bless them. Imagine seeing MJ walking all alone in your neighbourhood and tell me you wouldn't be excited too.

I think many more of us would then we each realize or are willing to admit. The excitement would entice us and not to mention the protective bear syndrome that is embedded in every Jackson fan.

u know what ? i admit that if i was there i would try to stop that pap from following and filming michael. oh yes i would. but i would in no way stalk and be all over mike while shouting at him "c'mon mike c'mon man sign this sign that hows ur kids" etc etc when one of them asked him "hows ur kids" he didnt answer coz obviously it was really awkward for him having a bunch of strangers stalking him and asking him personal questions about his family like they are his pals or somin :mello:

before mike came out of the store one of them said "i dont even listen to ur music just sign the damn doll". that was really touching too :wub: and even more touching is how they're selling those stuff on ebay as we speak ^_^

 

[Datsymay]

I second that and the damn camera-man outside the store too! Thank goodness MJ had those supporters or friendly onlookers outside willing to shield him and escort him and Grace safely back to their awaiting vehicle.

True, and if they were paparazzis, you know they would have been scared as hell to hassle MJ while those boys were out there protecting him. They probably walked into a trap without realising it cause had they hassled MJ they boys would have tore the camera off of them and smash it up. MJ was very safe in that neighbourhood. It makes the media look like fools for saying that MJ has no love in that neighbourhood, they have it on camera those boys protecting MJ.

How many of those young guys are really listening to MJ music. The guys were not fans they were boys from the neighbourhood who just happened to get lucky that day, and got lucky they did, just like those people in Germany who blocked mj's path so that he couldn't come out of the house for the whole time he was there. Those guys behaved no differently from any other people who are curious when MJ is around.
They didn't stalked him, they helped him to find his car and protected him from the paps, and while they were at it they had cheap chat with him, just showing the love/ The boy told the truth, he doesn't listen to MJ's music. I didn't hear the 'just sign the damn thing'. how did the guy say that when MJ was still in the shop

I ripped the 2 videos on youtube. I wasn't able to rip the one on TMZ though.

I believe those people were fans because they had their "Michael Jackson" photos and magazines out and ready to be autographed before MJ even came out of the store. And they really did try to help him find his car and to protect him from the paps. I loved the words exchanged between the fans and the paps!........Paps-We are just trying to do our jobs....the fans-We are just doing our jobs!. Verry protective just like I would have been if I was there. The only problem Michael had was with the paps. Michael loves his fans and always makes time for them.

 

[eternitys_child]

What does Michael say when he is looking for the car? I thought I heard him say something about a kickstand and then laugh.

Thank so much for the uploading these
much appreciated - love you Mickie

 

[mjjlover1]

I saw the video i felt so sorry for micheal i dont know its strange to see him like that i hope he will be ok

 

[raingirl]

It's always nice to see new pictures and videos of Michael but when they are in this kind of "paparazzi" form I just feel guilty watching them.
I bet that had everything gone as Michael wished there wouldn't be any photos or videos for us to see.
It must have felt like the longest walk to the car for Michael. I'm glad nothing bad happened to anyone.

 

[Rasta Pasta]

I must say.. Michael was very calm... wow!

 

[LindaC781]

Did anyone post the Video yet? Here it is. I feel bad for poor Michael Jackson. I could only imagine him going through this invasion of his privacy every day...

[AllForMJ]

What those brothas did was very pure. They had total respect for MJ. That's why he was addressed as "Sir."

I know ya'll don't think they act that sweet when someone tries to mess with them in the hood. And I know no one out there that day would have tested them to see. LOL.

What they did was totally sponetaneous and from the heart. MJ didn't need paid security that day. It came free of charge.

 

[Bee.]

I don't see what the big deal is over Michael buying gifts for his nanny. She has been helping him raise his kids for over 10 years now. I'm sure they have a pretty close relationship by now. Besides, it could be her birthday or something and Mike just let her pick out her own gift. :brow:

Ticie,
THE JACKSONOLOGIST

Good point. MJ is nice like that. Also, Grace is no longer the children's nanny, she is Mike's personal assisant. If MJ wants to spend his own money on Grace, who cares?

 

[movingcoolcat]

I actually thought those guys behaved great! Happy to see that, and I do think they are fans, if not they wouldn`t have had pics etc... for him to sign.How many other celebrities would get that protection against paparazzies from strangers?! Never ever seen that before............

 

[mickson177]

On the TMZ video
It's nice to hear them saying "We love you Michael"
Those two guys acting like body guards cracked me up....

:lol:.

 

[the floacist]

I am so surprised they mentioned.. a woman is with him.. times are a changing...

on one really tabloidy blog.. some non-fans were saying that Evan Ross (Diana Ross' son look like Michael's illegit child)...I was smiling..when I read that .. for soooooooooooo many reasons...

What? You mean LaMike? Thats old news! Thats an on running inside joke between black blogs that Evan is Michael and Diana's secret child. lol We call him LaMichael/LaMike.

 

[blacknimproud]

Thanks for the vids! That was nice of the two guys

 

[the floacist]

And even through all that, Michael still had the courtesy to say, "watch your hands, watch your hands" as he closed the door, to make sure they were out of the way...

According to TMZ (the TV show) which showed portions of the video and was actually overall very positive about it, Michael bought a $400 belt and a $125 shirt for Grace.

$125 dollars for a shirt?! $400 for a belt?!

Michael, I thought you were supposed to be broke. lol

 

[Ebony]

I think that some fans on this board and MJOL is really analyzing this too much. The video clearly shows a calm Michael who just want the paps to stop taking photos of him. I see him laugh, his cute laugh (when he's trying to find his car) and these brothers helping him out with finding his car and I see the group as being very respectful calling him Mr. Jackson and saying that they love him. I do not understand all this "he's being stalked and they are being disrespectful" talk. I just donot see this. I see them guiding him and helping him to find his car. And they are in direct contact with him because the crowd is trying to shield him from the camara man. Damn. I do not see where his personally space is being violated. He's a freakin celebrity. I'm sure Michael is so use to this. And for those fans who are talking this, let me ask you this, if you were to randomly run into Michael like these folks did how would you react? You need to ask yourselves this. Because I'm sure you would want to shake his hand and want to get up closr and personal with him or get an autograph. You would probably even whip out your camara cellular phone and even snap a pic. And so what the guy said he does nt listen to his music. He is experiencing a once in a lifetime moment here. He is up close and personal with a mega celebrity named Michael Joe Jackson. Maybe this guy is into another form of music. But that does not matter. He's face-to-face with a Michael right now. People need to relax and calm down. I'm sure Michael is not even phased by this.

 

[the floacist]

I agree. Fans seem to think every little thing is ZOMGGG!!!!11 LEAVE MICHAEL ALONNE!!!

The video is kind of uncomfortable to watch, but its not what a lot of people are making it out to be.

[blacknimproud]

I thought it was funny how the guy was watching Mike sign his name on the doll and sayin OH WOW...lol. That was very nice of them, what they did though. I think Michael was expecting more attention, but camera man was enough...I meant this was way better than getting mobbed in London.

 

[SoS]

Its just good to see MJ looking so good (LOVE his natural look!) and at peace.

I don't imagine he goes shopping only in broad daylight in the most 'celebrity-sensitive' highly populated part of L.A. dressed like a 'hiding MJ' all the time :lol: so maybe he wasn't in a TOTAL state of shock from the attention and he handled it so well -

(how did the fans helping him know where to find his car? :mello: maybe i missed something there - )

In any case, its good to see you Michael

we got so bored with ppl just makin stuff up :lol:

 

[Mikejoefan]

How michael not gonna know where is car is? :lol:

and where was grace, wonder why she wasn't walking with him? Those guys seem alright and that story was so untrue. Michael didn't seem nervous at all so.

 

[Gold Pants Girl]

The guy who was helping MJ also kept taking his picture, he kept sticking his camera out to try and get a pic of him with Mike.

 

[*~MJ Loves MJ~*]

I see no bandages on his nose... obviously they need something bad after Ebony

Exactly! They have to make drama and tell lies to sell a paper. It's sickening. And why did they have to add the 'scally hands' or pale grey hands' thing.....for the last time, his hands are not grey! They're normal, yes they do get dry but that's it. Ugh, the ignorance. Nice to see him out shopping and trying to enjoy some nomalicy for a change, and the fans seemed to respect his privacy to a certain extent.

At least he likes to shop...I can't wait to get my shopping DONE for Chistmas....to many crowds...:lol:

 

[wannabestartinsomthin21]

Those guys were alright. They just got celeb fever. Michael is litterally the most famous human being on the planet, it would be a little hard not to get at least curious if you saw him in person. I wouldn't follow him only because I'd probably be too shy to even talk to him, but I know like hell I would stare, and I hate it when people stare at me even, lol.

I feel bad for Michael, he can't walk around outside. Its the price of his fame. Some celebrities can walk down a street without being noticed, but Michael is SO high profile that that will never be possible, unless he gets better disguises, lol. And even then, its not the same, just saying he has to be in disguise to walk down a street speaks to the unusual circumstance of his life.

He's so nice though, he really is. He was sweet to everybody, and he just ignored the camerman, but he acknowledged all of those fans, and it was sweet. A lot of celebrities would just rush passed them and jump into their car and blow them off. Michael never does that, he always stops to acknowledge people. Class act all the way.

He probably didn't know where the car was because he and Grace were probably dropped off in front of the store and then went in. That's what I'm guessing.

Uh, :chillpill:some of have had the pleasure of shaking Michaels hand and have been invited to have taken pics with Michael.

 

[SoS]

my question isn't really about why MJ didn't know where the car was - its easy enough to forget where you parked

but

how come the guys helping him knew where his car was? :huh:

Maybe we can't hear it but MJ or Grace may have said, 'its a blue whatever and we parked near a __ (whatever)' or whatever -

ok maybe that's it ^_^

That's been puzzling the heck out of me :lol:

ok, I'm ok now B)
