Michael Jackson Tribute Concert

15 minutes in, and I have but one question:

WHY DOES WHITNEY HOUSTON LOOK LIKE THAT!!!

She weighs maybe 90 pounds! That's revolting!

Put the pipe down Whitney, put it down!

I loved it! I loved it! I loved it! I really did. I couldn't believe the brothers could still move like that! They were sooooo good. Ok. I'm just a big fan.

I saw those pictures of Whitney back in September when it was taped. She just needs help.

What was Monica wearing?

They could have done without Rah Digga.

Tamia was aglow!

Usher and Mya would make a cute couple.

NSync should have done more.

Chris Tucker and Michael at the end were soooo funny. Chris really does kick with the opposite leg. Did anyone notice that?

Did Luther and Usher forget 98 Degrees was still on the stage with them?

Destiny's Child was cute. (Oh, my! Did I say that?

It must be the after effect of Michael kicking in! I did enjoy their performance though

)

That little Billy Gillman was cute, too.

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh....Michael.

I AGREE!!!! Girl, I told my Aunt that the Jacksons will be soaking the BenGay up after that performance! Now they know it's been some years since they've moved like that!

Not only was I wonder WTH Monica was wearing, but WHO did her hair?

I mean, her stylist needs some SERIOUS counseling!

I think they were too busy trying to add diversity to that particular panel, than to realize that Rah Digga messed up the whole vibe of the song!

Okay, and was it just me, but WHERE WAS JANET?

Is she on tour or something? I know Latoya has her fits when it comes to her family, but I thought Mike and Janet were better than that. They flashed Katherine on the screen once, but no other Jacksons were shown.

I have never seen Micheal perform live, but this show made me really want to shell out the bucks and see him in concert.

Let's get real, okay! Michael looked totally busted and disgusted. He looks NOTHING like the Michael that we knew during the 70's and the early part of the 80's. I am, however, amazed that he STILL pulls crowds like that. He IS an icon and great performer. And we all know that had it not been for Michael, the rest of the Jackson boys would not have pulled a crowd like that---at ANY time.

Actually, I kinda feel sorry for Michael. He doesn't LOOK happy even with all of his money and fame. The man has serious, serious issues that need to be addressed. I don't know WHAT happened to him, but I do know that it has seriously effected his ENTIRE life.

At any rate, I've got to give him props on his new CD. YOU ROCK MY WORLD and BUTTERFLIES are great songs with great beats.

I really wish the best for Michael.

And, I took notes!

Ok, first off, I'm sad that he looks this way. I agree, he doesn't look happy at all. But that's his issue, not mine. Regardless of how crazy he looks, HE IS BAD!!! He still has it, and I was beside myself with joy last night.

Now, my notes.

Usher and Mya on ropes & flying in the air: that should have been cut.

Whitney? Please, please, PLEASE stop it. I want her to be healthy again. She still has a beautiful voice. I'm afraid we are going to hear about her death next.

Monica? She looked str8 outta the 80's. Her hair was a mess. What was she thinking?

Deborah Cox? Green plastic looking dress? Faux Paux. The Green Hornet.

Rah Digga? She's too hard to wear pink tracks in her hair.

Tamia? She looked beautiful!!! She stood out up there with them!

Marc Anthony? That's my dude, but he got one of the words wrong in the song.

Liza Minelli? Three letters: WTF???

The Brothers: They were the bomb, OK?!!!! LOVED THEM!! They still have it, too.

Marlon was workin' that torch, wasn't he? LOL!

Jermaine looked most unhappy in the beginning. Later on, WTH was he wearing???

End of "I'll Be There," wth was Michael thinking? He never ends songs like that. I had to shake my head at that one, and I hardly ever say anything negative about him. But that was some mess.

Why MJJ keep covering the microphone? I think at some parts, he was lip synching (sp?). Then he would sing at the ad lib parts. I was a little unhappy about that.

98 Degrees were back-up singers for Luther and Usher.

Usher sho' can move. Whew...

Chris Tucker is funny!!!! And yes, soror, I noticed that he really DOES kick with the opposite leg!

Destiny's Child: I never have anything to say about them, positive or negative. I just wish they'd go away. But I have to say, I think that they did well last night.

All in all, I LOVED IT!!! I wish I could have taped it so I could watch it over and over and over. I will always be a fan. I'm so glad he can still dance like he used to. He was workin it!!! I loved it!!!

He's back!!

I am a fan but not a FAAAAAAAN that will cry, faint, hold my cell out so who ever is on the phone can hear what I paid a lot of money for.

I made a lot of comments last night with Novella and some you all have said but here are some ones you all missed.

1. When the septuplet was singing
a. Monica looked like a HMH and a street walker.
b. Did y'all peep Jill Scott's little sister who needed the PRESS & CURL. Somebody coulda slapped a JUST FOR ME or MOTIONS FOR KIDS in her head.

2. Uuuuuum USHER

looked like the dang on Lion King singing @ beginning.

3. USHER and LUFFA looked like they were leading PRAISE and WORSHIP last night. I also thought they kicked 98 degrees to the curb as well.

4. LIZA MINELLI SUUUUUUUCKED!! They should have had R. Kelly sing it since he wrote it.

5. USHER danced into MJJ.

6. Chris Tucker was working it just on the wrong leg.

7. N'Sync did a good job though.

8. Marlon was seeking the spotlight cuz where ever Mike went there was Marlon.

My sister called me long distance to say the same thing!lol At the beginning I wanted Randy to get a grip. He was the one hopping all over the place.

I heard Janet tried to be there, but couldn't because she is on her All For You tour (which I saw in Charlotte

). Ideal, you know Janet ain't like that.

Hey, did y'all see the Delta with her hat on?

Yes, I saw that. I also thought I saw someone with a camcorder.

I don't know Jill Scott's little sister. Who was she?

CTHU, I was just joning with you. The little girl is not related to Jill that I know of.

Why did my boyfriend call her a Jill Scott in training? I called her Rage, cuz she was rockin' ruff and tuff with her afro puffs.

I saw the Delta hat, too! I was like, hey, there's a Delta! LOL

Yeah, I peeped Usher dance into Mike.

Randy did have me hollering with the OPP deal. LOL!

Yeah RAGE is a better pick. All I know is her mama could have gave her a quick press and curl or SOMETHING.

That OPP was probably a slam @ Jermaine for taking Randy's wife.

Yeah, why did Randy go back to OPP?

He needed to sit down! LOL.

They showed Reggie Miller more than they showed Katherine? Why?

Like I told my husband, Liza is a theater singer. She couldn't help herself. Her mama she ain't!

I guess Macauley (sp.?) and Mike are still friends.

SFactor · #14 11-14-2001, 12:08 PM

I don't care what you say........Marlon is the best looking of those brothers!! IMO of course!!

....I missed Chris Tucker - I fell asleep!!!

HopefulProspective · #15 11-14-2001, 12:42 PM

The show was great! I really enjoyed the Jackson's reunion.

This is a rap up of my opinions...

1. Whitney~~ CRACK KILLS!

2. Monica ~~ JUST A HOT MESS WITH THAT HAIR!!

3. Billy Gillium & Mark Antony ~~ There performances were good.

4. Gloria Estefan and James Ingram ~~ I love James Ingram hittin' that high note at the end!!

5. Destiny's Child ~~ I don't like the song, so I will leave it alone.

6. Shaggy and that guy ~~ Good performance...

7. Tamia ~~ Looked wonderful.

8. Rah Digga ~~ What was her purpose? She really could have stayed at home with her kids...

9. Chris Tucker ~~ Funny!! And I also noticed that he kicked with the opposite leg!!

10. And Finally...REGGIE MILLER. With all his money, why doesn't he get his teeth fixed!!!
