Uncle Sid

This month i said goodbye to my sister, my baby, my safe place. I hope heaven feels like home. I’m learning to smile through the silence, but i miss you in everything. 🤍🕊️

like his ass gon let u know, he dgaf

"caro bill. gostaria de agradecer pelos muitos anos de dedicação que você passou comigo, prestando seu serviço. sempre foi muito reconfortante saber que estou protegido e seguro perto de você, e também que nunca precisei ter medo de virar o ombro porque sabia que você estava lá"

this looks like the performance jaafar prolly studied from for the movie 🤔

love this moment so much.. This was when Michael went back to his hometown in Gary, Indiana in 2003. He actually let the crew keep his mic on the whole time. But there was a moment when he forgot he had a microphone on him. And that led to this sweet, unguarded moment... him outside in a hallway, laughing freely and fully. He has this most joyful, adorable laugh that you can hear in this clip. It's said that in the unedited footage, he steps out into the hallway, laughing uncontrollably. Some fans and crew have shared that he may have seen something funny in the front row, which made him break character and leave the room to laugh freely. This is the side of him I wish people saw more of...the human side.

Pretending to be a good guy just so I can hit type shii

😂😂😂😂

Ya’ll don’t listen to Michael in his interviews and that makes me really sad.

greg phillinganes relembra como michael jackson o chamou para a bad tour: eu nunca vou esquecer o jeito que o michael me chamou pra sair em turnê com ele. a gente estava trabalhando no álbum bad, e de vez em quando ele dizia: "hum, você gosta mesmo de se apresentar, né?". e eu dizia: "sim. é ótimo". eu não pensei mais sobre isso. o tempo passava, e ele me dizia: "hum, você gosta de tocar ao vivo, né?". eu respondi: "sim, é ótimo". passou mais um tempo e ele depois me disse: "hum, você gosta de fazer turnê, né?". isto continuou, até que finalmente eu me dei conta. eu disse pra ele: "você quer que eu saia em turnê com você, não é?". e ele disse: "sim". a próxima coisa que eu soube, é que eu era o diretor musical da turnê bad, o que foi fantástico.

mind you this was the last time jaafar ever saw michael :( “i just remember him hugging me right before he was leaving and saying i can’t wait to see you in july, bc he was going to london to do even more rehearsals for “this is it”, we were excited to go see him…”

Janet Jackson exists. That's the entire answer most people miss. Same parents. Same Gary, Indiana household. Same Joe Jackson childhood. She's the only artist in Billboard Hot 100 history to land 7 top-5 singles from one album (Rhythm Nation 1814). She holds the female record for consecutive top-10 entries at 18. Five Grammys. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 2019. A pop monster on her own terms. The talent ceiling argument dies on her career alone. What separated Michael was the team he assembled the second he could. In 1980, right after Off the Wall, Michael hired John Branca. Branca's first major move was firing Joe Jackson from his son's business affairs, by fax. Joe had been running the business side of all six Jackson brothers since the Motown years. Michael then stacked the rest of the operation. Quincy Jones to produce. Rod Temperton to write ("Rock With You," "Thriller," "Off the Wall"). Frank DiLeo to manage. Every one of them a peak operator in their lane. Off the Wall (1979): 20 million sold. Thriller (1982): 70+ million, still the best-selling album in history. Bad (1987): 35 million. ATV Music Publishing purchased in 1985 for $47.5M. Sony bought the estate's 50% stake in 2016 for $750M. Janet ran the same play in a different city. She walked into Flyte Tyme Studios in Minneapolis in 1985 and handed her career to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Control hit 14 million worldwide. Rhythm Nation 12 million. Janet., another 14 million. Jermaine actually proved the thesis once. He linked up with Stevie Wonder for "Let's Get Serious" in 1980. The song went #1 R&B for 6 weeks and beat Michael's "Rock With You" as the soul hit of the year. He just never built the full stack. Stayed at Motown, married Berry Gordy's daughter, ran on family-favor production. The other brothers stayed inside the family business under Joe's management. They had real Epic-era hits ("Shake Your Body," "Can You Feel It"). They never broke out at Michael's scale. Two Jackson siblings reached immortality. Both did the same thing. They fired the dad and hired the best team money could rent.

nunca voy a superar que michael grabara una versión en español de I just can't stop loving you con un español perfecto y que le quedara igual de hermosa, a él realmente le importaba mucho conectar con sus fans alrededor del mundo❤️‍🩹

The bravery of that baby. Most kids can’t teach themselves how to tie they own SHOES let alone teach themselves the guitar living with a father that instills the fear of god in him. PLEASE.

📸 In April 1994, Michael Jackson took part in a photo shoot in New York City for the album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I on the 10th floor of Big Sky Productions. The shoot was done by photographer Timothy White, known for capturing major names in the music industry. The photos helped define the monumental aesthetic of HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I, released in 1995. Part of the images featured Michael in poses inspired by statues and historical leaders, a concept that later influenced the entire visual campaign for the album, including the famous giant statue used in the project’s worldwide promotion. HIStory became one of the best-selling albums of the 1990s and marked Michael’s return to the spotlight after spending a few years away from the stage.

O Michael tem tantas conexões que vcs nem imaginam. Ele era amigo da Kathy Hilton desde a adolescência e a LaToya diz que elas duas e o Michael fizerem um pacto de que colocariam o mesmo nome nas filhas. A Paris Hilton e a Paris Jackson são gêmeas de nome por isso

On May 14, 2009, Michael Jackson attended the celebration of his parents’ 60th wedding anniversary, Katherine Jackson and Joe Jackson, at the Indian restaurant Chakra in Beverly Hills. Michael was accompanied by his children, Prince, Paris, and Blanket, as well as several siblings and relatives, in a rare Jackson family gathering just weeks before rehearsals for the This Is It tour began. The occasion became remembered as one of the last major family reunions of the artist before Michael’s passing 🥺💔

I love how he had so many facts about Llamas ready to fire off. I wish there were more interviews where they’d asked him about his love for animals and his favorite animals/their traits :(

They tried to villainize him. Meanwhile this was him off camera 🥹 MJ cradling a baby to sleep during tdcau shoot in Brazil

ele trabalhou com o michael jackson, meteu o som da cuíca brasileira em wanna be startin' somethin' e também fez a percussão de don't stop 'til you get enough usando duas garrafas de vidro, tem que respeitar.

Michael Jackson rehearsing after the Pepsi incident 😭 How does he move like that with such precise accuracy? 😂😂

“It was you who put your heart on the line. It was you who stepped forward to defend someone you love. It was you on a worldwide basis who supported me as my army, my soldiers of love!” Michael's speech to the truest love of his life- his fans💔
