Jermaine D’Vauz

@lovelyapplehead @MJRock4everOn My schedule is going to be quite busy the next few weeks, and I’m unsure when the screenings will stop. So I thought I’d express my gratitude now if this indeed is my last one. ❤️

@jermainedvauz @MJRock4everOn What made you decide it'd be your last time? I'm just curious😅

I’ve watched Michael 10 times now, and I think this will be my final time…

@KillaKreww All Michael Jackson fans - including myself - should understand and respect this. Her relationship with her Dad is none of our business. It’s sacred, personal and however she defines as his daughter. We need to leave her alone, and let her experience a normal life.

Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris Jackson, opens up about no longer being performative online to please the public over how she should honor her Dad and says she now keeps that relationship private 😮👀 Ozzy Osbourne’s son, Jack, agreed with her and explained that fans don’t understand their relationship with their fathers was completely different than a fan’s relationship with them “And now my relationship with my dad is the most beautiful relationship ever… and it’s no one’s business, and I don’t have to share that with anybody… he was my best friend.”

It's interesting watching people underestimate you until they realise you were being humble, not incapable.

deep down you already know you will win.

@latoyaswig Agree. Michael believed so much in perfectionism (it was beaten into him). He saw his own face & body as a work of art, as much as his performance. Why would he freely allow the public to see his blotches, or bring that to media attention? Especially at the height of his career.

the 80s were a time of willful ignorance . ppl refused to shake hands w AIDS patients due to the stigma but everyone’s so convinced michael jackson would have received sympathy for a barely known autoimmune disease that so drastically altered his appearance . #okay .

Michael Jackson is probably the last superstar we’ll ever have. Not because nobody else is talented. The world that made him is gone, and the kind of person he was doesn’t really happen anymore. And Taylor Swift doesn’t come close. Just calling it now. He came up in the last real monoculture. When something hit, it hit everybody on the same night. 47 million Americans watched the moonwalk at Motown 25 and the next morning every kid in the country was trying it on their kitchen floor. That’s not happening again. Taylor Swift sells out stadiums and there are still millions of people who couldn’t pick her song out of a lineup. Everybody now has a lane. MJ never had one. He was loved everywhere at the same time, because there was nowhere else for the culture to go. He shot the Beat It video with actual Crips and Bloods on set, from rival sets in LA, in the same room with him. Nobody else was doing that. Nobody else COULD. He was lonely and weird and broken, and he poured all of it into the music. There’s a reason you can still feel something in Billie Jean and She’s Out of My Life forty years later. That’s a person bleeding into a microphone. Not a brand. The biggest stars now are LLCs. They’re products. Taylor Swift is about breakups within a target demo. Songs are two minutes long because that’s what TikTok pays for. There’s no soul. MJ was a ridiculously talented person who actually moved people. Produced, wrote, danced, made short films it’s pretty insane. Anyways just saw the movie and was reminiscing. It’s like Hollywood. The era of superstars is waning. Don’t think we get another like him.

"The funniest thing that happened was when we were doing a scene on the roof top. Diana was supposed to faint and I had to pick her up. But she was too heavy. I kept puffing away until I finally made it." 😂😂😂😂😂

@unbreakablemj0 I remember seeing this online back in 2009. We were all so excited. 🥹

Me pergunto o que aconteceu com essas pessoas depois, esse vídeo me dói muito pois aqui são os últimos registros de fans ouvindo o Michael Jackson ao vivo, durante os ensaios pra turnê this is it...

@Singularityay It’s what Michael said to me when I met him in 1996. 🥹

Michael really wasn’t lying in Moonwalk when he said Jermaine was his favorite brother and that he cried himself dry when his brother left the group. what the fuck was Marlon doing? 😭

@ZandrTec @ThomasConnorsJr The one officially released by Sony is 9 minutes. This is the unseen 14 minute version only seen on Pytka’s Vimeo account.

@ThomasConnorsJr Its been on nearly every DVD and on YouTube. Where you been, man 😄

Thanks to @jermainedvauz for bringing the 14 MINUTE VERSION of #MichaelJackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" to my attention... I didn't even know it was this long originally!!!

@ThomasConnorsJr The FULL version is actually 14 minutes long. vimeo.com/193634221

The rare FULL version of "The Way You Make Me Feel" from #MichaelJackson

‘Billie Jean’ by Michael Jackson hits #1 on the Global Spotify chart for the first time with 6.02 million streams. It was released over 40 years ago.

@ThomasConnorsJr He hinted DAWs. Wow.

There are over 2 hours of work tapes out there of "Give in To Me" with #MichaelJackson and Slash, here is 23 minutes or so of that tape. Interesting audio experience of the way Michael worked.

@TheMJAP @NadiaSohawon Also… the way he’s engineered costuming to perfectly present the dance. Everything he did was intentional. No flashiness, just craft. Pure brilliance and perfect execution.

Genuine question, though… am I the ONLY person who truly believes that no one actually moves like him?! I’m not mad, am I!? People know the moves, but they never look quite like him. They never look quite as… perfect as him. @NadiaSohawon, am I wrong!?

Meeting Michael Jackson. I’m so happy I finally get to share this story. 🩶

@tajjackson3 I’m so sorry your father had to deal with that. All the way back to Gary, your father set the GENESIS of the global miracle that is the Jackson dynasty. The world has your father to thank, for eternity.

I’ll answer since this is a very sensitive subject to me. Imagine since you were a teenager being told by everyone that you are worthless without your younger brother and you should thank him for everything you have. That’s exactly what my dad had to deal with his whole life. He told me that personally on multiple occasions. What do you think that does to your self esteem and life?
