25 juni 2010

Ett år har passerat sedan världen chockades av den tragiska nyheten att en av vår tids störsa popartister hastigt avlidit. Michael Jackson blev bara 50 år gammal. Idag hedras hans minne över världen. Jag gör det genom att i vanlig ordning dela med mig av en av hans många låtar.

Den här låten sjöng han under sin tid med Jackson 5 och som soloartist hade han alltid med denna i ett
Jackson 5-medley.



I'll be there


You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there

I'll reach out my hand to you,
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there

Chorus:
And oh - I'll be there to comfort you,
Build my world of dreams around you
I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on
Yes I will, yes I will

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well that's all I'm after
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be there to protect you
With an unselfish love I respect you
Just call my name and I'll be there

(Chorus)

If you should ever find someone new
I know he'd better be good to you
'Cos if he doesn't, I'll be there

Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there, just call my name, I'll be there

(Just look over your shoulders, honey - ooh)

I'll be there, I'll be there, whenever you need me, I'll be there

Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there, just call my name, I'll be there...


Imorgon, lördagen 26 juni kl 22.20 på svt1 visas en dokumentär om Michael - Gone too soon.


Moonwalk

Har precis legat och läst Michael Jacksons självbiografi - Moonwalk, som jag köpte häromdagen. Började läsa igår kväll och har fortsatt nu idag. Måste säga att det är ganska intressant att höra historien från hans synvinkel. Det jag läst hitills handlar förstås om barndomen och när de först blev kända som gruppen Jackson 5, hur det gick till från start till framgång. Så småningom kommer det handla om hans väg till att bli soloartist. Men handeligen sträcker sig inte alltför långt då boken är skriven 1988. Men jag ser fram emot fortsättningen. Nu har jag dock tagit en liten paus från läsandet..





 

 


Kommentar

Bion igår var fantastisk! Hade hört lite olika innan jag såg den, många recensioner sa att den var sevärd, men jag hade även hört att den inte var så bra. Men jag tycker att den gav en bra bild av inte bara artisten utan även personen Michael Jackson. Man fick se förberedelserna inför konserterna som skulle ha pågått för fullt i detta nu. Och med förberedelserna menar jag ju inte bara hans sång utan audition där de valde ut dansare, hur alla dansare sedan arbetade, alla filmsekvenser som gjordes för att visas i bakgrunden på en stor skärm under konsertens gång, dansarna som tränade tillsammans med MJ på scenen, hur de repade med hur bakgrundsmusiken skulle spelas, alla specialeffekter och ljuseffekter osv osv.
Superbra verkligen! Det som var lite synd var att man inte fick se honom sjunga den nya låten This is it, som släpptes bara nu i oktober. Men den spelades tillsammans med texterna i slutet av filmen. Sevärd var den i alla fall, tyckte både jag och mamma. Det hade nog blivit riktigt bra konserter om de blivit av.



Slänger in en bild av hur biljetterna till konserterna såg ut.




THIS IS IT

Äntligen! Dagen, kvällen är här. Är så glad att den visas i Vilhelmina. Nu drar jag hemöver så jag hinner få med mig lite mat och plocka med mig mamma så åker vi mot FH. Har som sagt hört att den är bra, men vissa säger den är dålig, fast jag tror det beror på om man tycker bra om Michael Jackson eller inte. Nu återstår det bara att se.....med egna ögon...

28 oktober 2009 - This is it

Idag har Michael Jackson - This is it premiär. Den kommer endast visas i 14 dagar i Sverige. Men jag tror det bara gäller på SF Bio, för jag ska ju se den om 15 dagar.
Bokade biljetter till mig och mamma förra veckan, så på torsdag om två veckor ska vi se den i Vilhelmina. Jag tror det kommer bli bra det. Tur att man slapp åka längre än så.



This is it

Natten mot måndag släpptes Michael Jacksons sista singel "This is it" som också var temat för de 50 avskedskonserter han skulle haft med start 13 juli. Om två veckor, dvs 28 oktober är det också premiär för bion "This is it" som endast kommer visas på biografer i Sverige under 14 dar. 


Cover image for This is it by Michael Jackson.


This is it, here I stand
I'm the light of the world, I feel grand
Got this love I can feel
And I know yes for sure it is real

And it feels as though I've seen your face a thousand times
And you said you really know me too yourself
And I know that you have got addicted with your eyes
But you say you gonna live it for yourself.

I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn't my plan
I never thought that I would be your lover
C'mon baby, just understand

This is it, I can say,
I'm the light of the world, run away [?]
We can feel, this is real
Every time I'm in love that I feel

And I feel as though I've known you since 1,000 years
And you tell me that you've seen my face before.
And you said to me you don't wnat me hanging round
Many times, wanna do it here before

I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn't my plan
I never thought that I would be your lover
C'mon baby, just understand

This is it, I can feel
I'm the light of the world, this is real
Feel my song, we can say
And I tell you I feel that way

And I feel as though I've known you for a thousand years
And you said you want some of this yourself
And you said won't you go with me, on a while
And I know that it's really cool myself

I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn't my plan
I never thought that I would be your lover
C'mon baby, just understand

I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn't my plan
I never thought that I would be your lover
C'mon baby, just understand


Give in to me

She Always Takes It With A Heart Of Stone
'Cause All She Does Is Throw It Back To Me
I've Spend A Lifetime
Looking For Someone
Don't Try To Understand Me
Just Simply Do The
Things I Say

Love Is A Feeling
Give It When I Want It
'Cause I'm On Fire
Quench My Desire
Give It When I Want It
Talk To Me Woman
Give In To Me
Give In To Me

You Always Knew Just How To Make Me Cry
And Never Did I Ask You Questions Why
It Seems You Get Your Kicks From Hurting Me
Don't Try To Understand Me
Because Your Words Just Aren't Enough

Love Is A Feeling
Quench My Desire
Give It When I Want It
Takin' Me Higher
Love Is A Woman
I Don't Wanna Hear It
Give In To Me
Give In To Me

You And Your Friends
Were Laughing At Me In Town
But It's Okay
And It's Okay
You Wont Be Laughing Girl
When I'm Not Around
I'll Be Okay
And I'll, I'll Not Find
Gotta, The Peace Of Mind No

Don't Try To Tell Me
Because Your Words
Just Aren't Enough

Love Is A Feeling
Quench My Desire
Give It When I Want It
Takin' Me Higher
Talk To Me Woman
Love Is A Feeling
Give In To Me
Give In To Me
Give In To Me

Love Is The Feeling
I Don't Wanna Hear It
Quench My Desire
Takin' Me Higher
Tell It To The Preacher
Satisfy The Feeling
Give In To Me
Give In To Me




This is it - Premiär 28 oktober 2009


Detta kommer bli spännande, och jag hoppas verkligen att jag får se den och att premiären visas inom räckhåll.
De sista repetitionerna inför de kommande 50 konserterna Michael Jackson skulle hållit i London, men som aldrig blev av, ihopklippta till en konsertfilm. Som sagt, Spännande!





Ser fram emot det.

Forest Lawn Memorial Park

Två månader efter sin död, fördes Michael Jackson inatt (svensk tid) till sista vilan. Kring 200 vänner och släktingar deltog. Ceremonin ägde rum i Glendale, vid Forest Lawn Memorial Park. Läste dock att det fortfarande inte är säkert om han ska begravas där, trots att 12 begravningsplatser blivit köpta.

Jag tycker det är så hemskt att han inte fått bli jordfäst när det gått så otroligt länge. Två månader är lång tid. Hoppas verkligen de bestämmer sig snart så att han får begravas, så det inte dröjer ytterligare någon månad innan jordfästning sker, trots att begravningen ägt rum.

I vilket fall ägnar jag en tanke åt den stora stjärnan idag. Ceremonin såg ut att vara jättefin.



Michael Jackson 29 aug 1958 - 25 jun 2009



.




Hans själ har lämnat hans kropp, men han kommer alltid leva vidare genom musiken. Det som han lämnat efter sig här på jorden är evigt.   



.

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

.


Dirty Diana



Dirty Diana

You'll never make me stay
So take your weight off of me
I know your every move
So won't you just let me be
I've been there times before
But I was to blind to see
That you seduce every man
This time you won't seduce me

She's saying that's ok
Hey baby do what you please
I have the stuff that you want
I am the thing that you need
She looked me deep in the eyes
She's touchin' me so to start
She says there's no turnin' back
She trapped me in her heart

Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana
Let me be!

She likes the boys in the band
She knows when they come to town
Every musician's fan after the
curtain comes down
She waits at backstage doors
For those who have prestige
Who promise fortune and fame
A life that's so carefree

She says that's ok
Hey baby do what you want
I'll be your night lovin' thing
I'll be the freak you can taunt
And I don't care what you say
I want to go too far
I'll be your everything
If you make me a star

Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana...


She said I have to go home
Cause I'm real tired you see
But I hate sleeping alone
Why don't you come with me
I said my baby's at home
She's probably worried tonight
I didn't call on the phone to
Say that I'm alright

Dianan walked up to me,
She said I'm all yours tonight
At that I ran to the phone
Sayin baby I'm alright
I said but unlock the door
Because I forgot the key
She said he's not coming back
Because he's sleeping with me

Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, no
