Living with Michael Jackson (Part 3 9)

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010


Living with Michael Jackson is a Granada Television documentary, in which British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed Michael Jackson over a span of 8 months, from May 2002 to January 2003. It was shown first in the UK on ITV (as a Tonight special) on 3 February 2003 and in the US three days later on ABC, introduced by Barbara Walters. Martin Bashir put the proposal to Jackson as a way to show the world the truth about him and “make nothing off limits.” Jackson’s decision to make the documentary was made on a suggestion by his close friend Uri Geller. It later emerged that Geller had turned down another ‘bid’ for the interview by journalist Louis Theroux. The interview was very unusual, as it had been extremely rare for Jackson to allow such access to his personal life, or to talk so freely about his traumatic childhood. Nevertheless, he did show some reserve when asked to discuss other personal issues, such as the plastic surgery he had allegedly had. The interview: Living with Michael Jackson opens with Bashir’s narration about how he persuaded the singer to allow him to interview him. It begins at the Neverland Ranch, where he and Bashir tour the estate’s grounds and face off in a race car match. Later, he explains that he writes the songs by composing lyrics and not the music, because the music “will write itself.” Upon being requested by Bashir, he demonstrates that through dancing, he becomes the physical embodiment of the music. Afterwards Jackson admits that the

Michael Jackson – They Don’T Care About Us

Sunday, August 8th, 2010


They Don’t Care About Us” is the fourth single from Michael Jackson’s album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I, released on April 1, 1996. The song remains one of the most controversial pieces Jackson ever composed. In the US, media scrutiny surrounding alleged antisemitic lyrics were the catalyst for Jackson issuing multiple apologies and re-recording the album—altering the lyrics for that particular track. The singer countered allegations of antisemitism, arguing that reviews had misinterpreted the context of the song, either unintentionally or deliberately. Musically, it is an aggressive hip-hop production about social ills. The song was accompanied by two music videos directed by Spike Lee. The first was shot in a shantytown of Rio de Janeiro, and Salvador where State authorities tried to ban all production over fears the video would damage their image, the area and prospects of staging the 2004 Olympics. Still, the residents of the area were happy to see the singer, hoping their problems would be made visible to a wider audience. The second video was shot in a prison and contained video footage of multiple references to human rights abuses. Commercially, the song became a top ten hit in all European countries and number one in Germany for three weeks. In the US, radio stations were reluctant to play the controversial composition; it, however, managed to peak at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Die Feier fand vor dem großen Mausoleum des Friedhofs statt. Jacksons goldener Sarg wurde auf ein Podest gestellt, umrahmt von Fotos und weißen Blumengestecken. Die drei Kinder des Sängers – der zwölfjährige Prince Michael, die elfjährige Paris und der siebenjährige Prince Michael II. – nahmen in der ersten Reihe Platz, in unmittelbarer Nähe von Jacksons Geschwistern sowie seinen Eltern Joe und Katherine. Die Familie traf mit mehr als einer Stunde Verspätung ein, so dass sich der Beginn der Trauerfeier verzögerte. Unter den Gästen waren die Schauspielerin Elizabeth Taylor und “Kevin allein zu Haus”-Darsteller Macaulay Culkin, die beide eng mit Jackson
