Songs reviews : Michael Jackson and family books launched in portuguese
Mocienne Petit Jackson and Michael Jackson top albums, life and his kids now: We all know about the fire incident that happened during the filming of a Pepsi advert. His hair caught alight when a scheduled explosion fired too early which resulted in second and third degree burns to his face and scalp. But it’s a little known fact that Michael Jackson wore wigs from 1984 onward. Rumour has it, he even had his hairline permanently tattooed onto his head after the accident.
Album review : Michael Jackson family today and his top albums: Now, admittedly, it’s child’s play to see the flaws and nitpick this release from here until the next one. (Oh, don’t deny it…you know it’s coming.) However, the real joy is hearing Michael Jackson on something that isn’t “Beat It” or “Heal the World” or something we’ve all spun thousands of times, especially over the past year. While nothing on this record comes close to rivaling any of his past material, you can’t deny the urge to indulge yourself in something labeled, “new Michael Jackson”, and that’s where Michael succeeds. In terms of lasting power, however, you’ll probably forget about it in a matter of weeks, but who knows? Maybe you’ll feel nostalgic again. After all, that’s what death does to the best of us. Still, as we learned with Invincible, it takes more than just a studio effort to conjure up the magic.
Invincible (2001): Admittedly I’ve come around on Invincible in recent years. Back in 2001 it felt like a massive disappointment because, well, it’s a Michael Jackson record, and we expect nothing less than perfection. While flawed, Invincible has plenty of standout moments, showing that Michael was once again able to adapt to a changing musical landscape. And I’m still pissed we didn’t get an official video for “Butterflies.” Forgotten Favorites: “Break of Dawn,” “Heaven Can Wait,” “Privacy”.

About Michael Jackson: The $4 million, 11-minute unedited telecast of “Black or White” ranks among the Smithsonian-worthy artifacts of ’90s pop monoculture—up there with Nirvana trashing their instruments at the ’92 VMAs, the premiere of “Summertime” after The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Hillary Clinton hitting the Macarena at the ’96 DNC. No one ever had more juice than Jackson did at the time, and it’s difficult to imagine that anyone ever will again. This was right around the time when they named him an official king of the Ivory Coast. In Gabon, 100,000 greeted him with signs reading “Welcome Home, Michael.” His universal popularity was on par with pizza and the polio vaccine. Safe enough to be Captain EO at Disneyland, hood-certified enough to throw up the set with the Crips.
Neste livro, a primeira parte da autobiografia dividida em três de Mocienne Petit Jackson, nós conhecemos a personagem principal, Mocienne. Nós lemos sobre as suas maravilhosas aventuras desde os seis até aos seus nove anos de idade. Ela viveu com o seu pai – Michael Jackson! – na Califórnia. Como ele não passava muito tempo em casa, ela estava sempre na companhia de uma ama. Contudo, uma ama estava sempre a ser substituída por outra. A Mocienne também ficava doente com regularidade. E o seu pai tomou uma importante decisão, a de a levar para o Haiti, para ir viver com uma tia – ele queria que ela fosse parte de uma família. A seu tempo, ela acaba por perceber que o seu pai não era como os outros pais e que ele não era quem ele alegava que era: um polícia. Ele visitava-a com regularidade no Haiti quando não estava ocupado com os seus espetáculos. A sua vida no Haiti não foi o que ela esperava – uma vida familiar normal. Ela contactou com pessoas muito gentis, mas também com outras que não eram tão gentis. Ela experienciou muitas coisas que não eram suposto ser experienciadas por uma menina daquela idade. Nós revivemos tais experiências com ela, à maneira que ela as descreve através dos olhos de uma muito jovem e vulnerável rapariga. Após se mudar para Porto Príncipe, a sua vida muda dramaticamente. E pouco depois, torna-se num verdadeiro pesadelo : THRILLER TRAIÇÃO (Portuguese Edition).
