Ye olde Thriller lyrics...unfinished version.
I have oft wondered if Michael had lived around the time of Shakespeare would he have penned the greatest lyrics of all time still?
Locked away in a tiny attic, long shadows playing in the candlelight. Nothing but a writing desk, a quill , some crumbs of bread and mouldy old cheese for sustenance.
And so it began...
"Tis close to midnight and vile creature doth lurk in the dark.
Moonlight light , you behold a sight that almost stops your heart.
You Scream no more as terror takes the sound afore ye make it.
You begin to freeze as horreur looketh you in the eyes.
Thou art paralysed!
Cause this is thriller, thriller night.
Pray thou shalt be saved from the beast that sooneth strike!
You know tis thriller, thriller night.
Thou art fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight.
You hear a door close and realise there is nowhere left to run.
Feeling a cold hand, you wonder if thou shalt ever see the sun.
Closing thy eyes you pray that this is just imagination, lassie.
Alas all the while you hear the vile creature creeping up behind...
You're out of time!
Cause this is thriller, thriller night.
There aint no second chance against the thing with many eyes.
Thriller, thriller night.
Thou art fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight.
Night creatures call and the dead begin to walk in their masquerade.
There's no escaping..."
Feel free to finish these lyrics!

Michael Jackson - top ten look a likes
Are you secretly missing MJ? Forever wondering if anyone could possibly follow in his immortal footsteps? Well ponder no more, for I have lovingly compiled a top ten Michael Jackson look-alikes list for you all!
Number 10.
Love this guy, great smile and hair, truly capturing the spirit of MJ. Maybe a little less foundation next time!
Number 9.
Navi, one of the MJ impersonator top earners. Handsome, professional and worth his weight in gold.
Number 8.
Lane Lassiter is the name and his favourite place is las vegas. Love the outfit and the stance, worthy of any top ten MJ list.
Number 7.
Intrigued by this guy. He does resemble MJ except for the moustache and silly hair! Obviously at a lookalikes convention posing with a Lionel Richie wanna be! Is that Steven Spielberg in the background?
Number 6.
Oh Carlo Carlo, whensa your Dolmio day? This guy is gorgeously MJ. Another top earner, love him!
Number 5.
Everyone's favourite impersonator - E Casanova!
Fully endorsed by Michael and very popular with the fans. We love him!
Number 4.
No top ten list would be complete without Mr Al Sharpton! Suited and booted, and not a pair of gold pants in sight (thank god) but he sure does have the moves. Very popular with women of a certain age!
Number 3.
Number 3 is missing in action.
Number 2.
Almost made it to number one! He has the looks, the hair, the make-up, could it be...
Number 1.
He was lean, mean and left the scene...never to return. Was it him or an imposter, who knows...
we still love him!

Michael Jackson Conspiracy news reports 2009.
Michael Jackson: conspiracy theories and unanswered questions.
Michael Jackson's death left the internet awash with conspiracy theories and speculation while genuine questions about the cause remained.
By John Bingham
9:00AM BST 26 Jun 2009
Even before it became clear that the singer had died there were suggestions of fakery and intrigue surrounding reports of his collapse.
When news that Michael Jackson had been taken to hospital after going into cardiac arrest emerged, Perez Hilton, the Hollywood blogger, pronounced himself "dubious" saying that he had pulled a "similar stunt" when he was getting ready for a big appearance in 1995.
The posting, which suggested that the star was "dragging his heels" over the 50 performance residency planned at the 02 arena, was taken down from the site.
But even after his death had been confirmed, postings from the public continued to insist that he might not have died.
Bizarre claims that other celebrities had also died began to circulate including rumours – quickly debunked – that Harrison Ford had gone missing from a yacht or that Matt Damon had died in a car or plane crash.

Michael Jackson, the truth.
"If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with."

The Princess and the showman.
Written in the stars.
Two people destined for fame. He, a born performer singing with his brothers throughout the 1970's, The Jackson 5! She, the daughter of an earl, loving, beautiful, mischievous and sure to marry her prince one day and she did!
If you believe in astrology and fate, they were almost certain to be friends.
Seems sadly ironic that Diana passed away during the sun sign virgo, Michael's star sign and in June 2009 he left us during sun sign cancer, Diana's sign. May you both shine forever in the heavens above.

Thriller night.
With the launch of NASA'S space probe...destination, the moon...this September is the perfect month for inviting friends round and having your own "Thriller" night! MJ loved the moon and we love our very own natural satellite too! Celebrate in celestial style with the best selling album of all time!
How important is the moon?
One result of the tidal effects of the Earth on the Moon is synchronous rotation. You may have noticed already that the Moon always keeps one face to us - that we never see the Dark Side of the Moon (that famous double-platinum rock album by Pink Floyd not withstanding).Time is a result of our lunar observations. Be careful in assuming the Moon does not rotate. On the contrary, rotation of the moon is the same period of orbit of the Moon - 29 and a half days. This time looks pretty familiar - 1 month on the "lunar" calendar. A standard month is based on one complete lifecycle of the Moon. There are variations: A Blue Moon A Harvest Moon Specifically, a Harvest Moon is the full Moon that occurs around September 23: This represents the autumnal equinox Also occurs in the Southern Hemisphere, but around March 21 Orbit of the Moon is lowest at this time so the full Moon appears to rise quicker Because of the low orbit, the full Moon appears to rise the same time for the next few successive days. A Blue Moon does not describe its color, but the rare event of two full moons occurring in one month - hence the phrase "once in a blue moon." A typical month is 30 to 31 days while a lunar month is about 29.5 days. One can see why this is a pretty rare event. Life is a result of the tidal forces of the Moon. Isaac Asimov wrote in his "Tragedy of the Moon" 1972, that life evolved in the sea did not want to move to land. There was no reason to, no movements to force the life forms to the surface.

Michael Jackson...Planet Earth poem.
Planet Earth, my home, my place
A capricious anomaly in the sea of space
Planet Earth, are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid
A capricious anomaly in the sea of space
Planet Earth, are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid
Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart, soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart, soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
In my veins I've felt the mystery
Of corridors of time, books of history
Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood
Have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood
Your misty clouds, your electric storm
Of corridors of time, books of history
Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood
Have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood
Your misty clouds, your electric storm
Were turbulent tempests in my own form
I've licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet
Of every encounter, of passion, of heat
Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste
Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste
I've licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet
Of every encounter, of passion, of heat
Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste
Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste
In your beauty I've known the how
Of timeless bliss, this moment of now.
Of timeless bliss, this moment of now.
Planet Earth, are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid
Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart, soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart, soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
Planet Earth, gentle and blue
With all my heart, I love you.
With all my heart, I love you.

Jackson 5, Don't blame it on the snow! Retro video.
I said I would find some snow for you and I did!!
You are not alone, Jermaine remembers christmas with Michael.
Feeling christmassy?...all we need is snow and some warm memories. Here is an excerpt from Jermaine Jackson's book about MJ, "You are not alone".
"At our window, we viewed everything from a cold, gray world, looking into a shop where everything was alive, vibrant and sparkling with color; where children played in the street with their new toys, rode new bikes or pulled new sleds in the snow. We could only imagine what it was to know the joy we saw on their faces. Michael and I played our own game at that window: pick a snowflake under the streetlight, track its descent and see which one was the first to "stick." We observed the flakes tumble, separated in the air, united on the ground, dissolved into one. That night we must have watched and counted dozens of them before we fell quiet. Michael looked sad—and I can see myself now, looking down on him from an 8-year-old's height, feeling that same sadness. Then he started to sing:
"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride, In a one horse open sleigh . . ."
It is my first memory of hearing his voice, an angelic sound. He sang softly so that Mother wouldn't hear. I joined in and we started making harmony. We sang verses of "Silent Night" and "Little Drummer Boy." Two boys carol-singing on the doorstep of our exclusion, songs we'd heard at school, not knowing that singing would be our profession."
