I thought it was a curious thing that the largest pic is a Thriller Fichael.
Indeed it's strange that there are so many images....indeed how many Fichaels?
Makes me wonder when you have someone so highly iconic as Michael was....it makes for myriads of replacements...like Elvis...
Someone who has such an influence over people, that the more "iconic" they were, the higher the number of replacements.
David Gest production....wasn't he married to Liza Minelli for 5 minutes???( Although I have to wonder if Liza Minelli was not one of the replaced. I don't know if we talked about her...
but that's another subject...

Going to be showing "This Is It" on VH1 tonight, going to watch for research purposes.
Verdict in, Murray convicted of manslaughter of Michael Jackson.
What we realize is a programmed "killer" of a celebrity imposter.

Indeed a strange thing, the footage switches between two different rehearsals because one of the things the different clothing, but more interesting, two different imposters IMO. The one Fichael sang and danced better than the other one, though not even close to the real Michael's talent or even the Fichael of the 80's.
Something that I really thought odd, if this footage is supposed to be preparing for shows, someone who wasn't dancing very much for practicing. One would think that someone getting ready for elaborate stage show would have been in better dancing "shape" than what was displayed.
If the imposters were under the influence, would explain why there wasn't much dancing, and certainly not to the talent MJ was known for. Michael was supposed to be 50, but that doesn't mean the replacements were that age. Just another thing I noted, I dug up an old VHS of the Carol Burnett show of 1976, and the Michael in those pics about the same height as Carol Burnett.
Strange program to watch...the differences in the faces of the two imposters in the film was pathetic enough...trying to keep a "brand" going when they didn't do a very good job with the role.

Sick, sick individuals...
"Dr. Murray Tell-All Documentary Reveals Shocking Secrets
TMZ has obtained an excerpt of a never-before-seen documentary starring Dr. Conrad Murray -- in which the good doc reveals some very intimate details about the singer ... some of which are not flattering.
The documentary -- titled, "Michael Jackson and The Doctor: A Fatal Friendship" -- was shot while Murray awaited trial for manslaughter ... and features a shockingly candid look at the preparation of the trial, which includes intense fighting between Murray's lawyers.
The movie is being distributed by a company called Zodiak Rights ... which says it's already pre-sold the rights to air the documentary to "major broadcasters around the world
Sources tell TMZ ... NBC is one of the broadcasters ... and will air the doc in the United States.
As for Dr. Murray -- he signed on to the project back in 2009, following MJ's death. It's unclear how much cash Murray is set to make from the movie."."

Some interesting and nonetheless real info about FICHAEL/FICHAEL's:
"He wet the bed and molested children for years. Sterling and Sterling represented him in so many payouts that after 200 million dollars they refused to work with Jackson or his agents anymore, because he was never going to stop abusing children. He had 5 law firms who negotiated similar payouts to his very young and mostly ill little victims. No wonder he couldn’t sleep his victims haunted him every time he closed his eyes. He had photos of babies all over his filthy room. The only thing normal about Michael Jackson is that he is finally dead."

While I didn't want the program, on HLN there was a documentary about Michael and his death and the one person said, "There were 4 Michael Jacksons"...and I thought to myself, an interesting thing to say....though these programs never talk about someone being replaced, as we discuss, I just thought it was a curious thing to say, and in that way....

Wow! Unbelievable! How the hell did that guy let it slip? 4 MJ's!!! Thanks... IMO, as I said before, there was more than 4 MJ's, minus the original.

I agree that there were more than 4 MJ's, but I thought it was strange to have it worded that way on a tv documentary. Now, if it was something that someone put together and aired on Youtube, then you may think nothing about it. But on the cable news...I thought it peculiar.

"Jackson Family Between Rock & Hard Place Over MJ Handprints
Michael Jackson's family is on the hunt for an incredibly valuable piece of rock -- containing the King of Pop's hand and footprints -- but the guy who currently owns it ain't giving it up without a fight.
MJ left the impressions back in 1984 for a Vegas hotel -- which had commissioned the piece for a "Walk of Fame"-type exhibit in front of the property.
The exhibit never materialized, and the concrete slab ended up gathering dust in the hotel basement -- until it was auctioned off years later ... and a guy named Andy Wilson picked it up for a pretty penny.
Now, the Jackson family has caught wind of the relic -- and they want to reclaim it, insisting the slab is the rightful property of the MJ estate. We're told they're even willing to pay Mr. Wilson $25,000 plus a cut of any merchandising profits they make off the item.
But Andy ain't budging -- telling TMZ, $25,000 just won't do ... and he's willing to wait as long as it takes to get a better deal. "

Could it be the family wants the imprint because it's the handprint of the real Michael and not the parade of Fichael's since 1984.
I think it odd a relative would be so interested in foot and handprints of a departed loved one...within the boundaries of a "normal" family member. I wouldn't be fighting over a handprint of one of my departed family members.
IMO the 1984 timing is telling...

"Contents of Jackson's final home reach auction
EVERLY HILLS (Reuters) - Contents of the mansion where Michael Jackson's lifeless body was found by convicted killer Dr. Conrad Murray go under the auction hammer next week, closing one chapter on a tragic saga that started in 2009 and ended last month with his former physician behind bars.
Some 500 lots of mostly paintings, furniture and ornaments are for sale from the Bel Air home Jackson rented while preparing for a series of comeback concerts in London. But only a handful of the items bear a poignant but personal connection to the singer, his three children and famous family.
"Even though these weren't items that belonged to him, they were items that surrounded him in the final months of his life. Anything associated with Michael Jackson is highly collectible," said auctioneer Darren Julien.
The ornate headboard on the bed where Jackson's body was found on June 25, 2009 was removed from the December 17 sale last month at the request of Jackson's family.
But the "Thriller" singer did leave his mark on an ornate mirror in the bedroom, scrawling a message in felt pen that reads "Train, perfection March April Full out May" -- presumably a reference to rehearsals for London's "This Is It" concerts set to start that July. The mirror is part of an armoire and carries an estimated sales price of $6-8,000.
"The pieces that are really going to sell for a lot are the items that can be identified as having an association with Michael Jackson, like the armoire in his private bedroom where he handwrote on the mirror," Julien said.
A pottery rooster holding a chalkboard from the kitchen bears a poignant reminder of Jackson's children Prince, Paris and Blanket. A note from the children in chalk reads "I (heart) Daddy SMILE it's for free". The item is priced at $400-600 but is expected to fetch much more.
THE TRIAL OF DR. CONRAD MURRAY
Some rooms at the mansion in the wealthy Los Angeles community where Jackson spent his final days played a role in Murray's trial that ended in November, including the bedroom -- littered with medical paraphernalia -- where Jackson was found not breathing and Murray tried to revive him.
Jackson was officially pronounced dead in a nearby hospital and ruled to have died of an overdose of the powerful surgical anesthetic propofol and sedatives.
Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, or gross negligence, and sentenced to four years behind bars after admitting he had given Jackson propofol at home to help the singer sleep.
At Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills on Sunday, where the company has re-created several of the mansion's rooms ahead of the sale, a handful of emotional fans left flowers, photos and messages on a plain white platform meant to symbolize the death bed, surrounded by other furniture.
Fighting back tears, some decorated a Christmas tree with heart-shaped ornaments bearing the message "peace," the letters "M" and "J," and festive baubles with photos and lyrics from Jackson's best known songs.
"Christmas was one of Michael Jackson's favorite holidays so this was a way for fans to come together and honor him and memorialize him," said Julien, whose auction house also oversaw the sale of Jackson's Neverland Ranch in central California."

I attend a lot of estate sales in the LA area for business purposes. I think I'll pass on this one.

That's how marketable MJ still is, even in a rented home and surrounded by items he came in contact with, going on auction....this country is so pathetic. They would auction off the dirty needles and rubber gloves used by the "dr" if there were buyers sick enough to want those items.

"Michael Jackson's Kid: They FAKED My Dad's Voice on 'Michael' Album
Michael Jackson's daughter Paris made a bombshell announcement to friends ... telling them the MJ album released in the wake of the singer's death did NOT contain MJ's actual voice ... it was an imposter.
TMZ has learned ... the announcement was made during an online video chat with several friends in 2010 ... just before the "Michael" album was released, which contains several previously unreleased tracks allegedly performed by Michael Jackson.
The video chat was recorded ... and Paris joked about the footage eventually "leaking" to the Internet.
Paris had made the announcement in the midst of rumors that MJ's parts on the "Michael" album were REALLY performed by an MJ sound-alike named Jason Malachi ... but both Jason and Sony denied the allegations.
During the video chat, Paris played one of the songs from the album, "Hold My Hand" ... and one of her friends asks why the singer doesn't sound like MJ.
Paris replied, "It's NOT him ... the whole album isn't even him!! Go online ... go on YouTube and look up Jason Malachi. That's him!!"
She continues, "I should know if it's him or not because he would sing to me all the time."
TMZ has learned a recording of Paris' video message is being shopped to various media outlets ... and we're told "Offers are on the table."
