Diegene die dit heeft verzonnen heeft wel z'n best gedaan.. XD

Recent tour details released by PR Inside have been put down as a hoax according to the King of Pop's general manager Raymone Bain. Details released yesterday claimed the singer would tour in 2007, given details of venues, dates and management contact details.

Michael Jackson praises James Brown as inspiration

Michael Jackson made a rare public appearance at James Brown's funeral today (December 30).

The singer paid a special tribute to the Godfather Of Soul as civil rights leaders, fans and a host of stars turned out to pay their respects in front of 8,500 mourners at the James Brown Arena in Augusta, Georgia.

Speaking onstage Jackson described the legendary showman as his "greatest inspiration" and he told the crowd how his mother would wake him up to watch Brown on TV.

"Ever since I was a small child - no more than six-years-old - my mother would wake me no matter what time it was to watch the television to see the master at work," he said. "Every time I saw him move I was mesmerized. I've never seen a performer like JB and right then and there, I knew that was exactly what I wanted to do with my life. James Brown, I shall miss you and I love you so much. Thank you for everything."



Jackson, who was greeted with huge cheers when he arrived at the funeral, spoke as Brown lay in an open top gold coffin in his third outfit - a black suit and gloves, red shirt and sequined shoes - in three days.

Earlier, the singer was invited to take to the stage for a version of 'Sex Machine' but he decided to stay seated. Sat at the front of the stage Jackson also leaned forward to kiss Brown's forehead before he returned to his seat.

Hmm ja dat zijn gewoon James Brown fans denk ik, je gaat toch niet naar een JB-tribute als je voor MJ wilt juichen

quote:

(Of topic; ik vind het goed van Michael dat hij muzikanten kan blijven waarderen als er in de privé sfeer vervelende dingen gebeuren. Zoals met R. Kelly en James Brown. Hij ziet die dingen blijkbaar apart. Veel artiesten hebben in 1993 hun mond niet open gedaan over Michael)

Diana Ross heb ik in 1993 op tv wel rare dingen horen zeggen ja. In de trant van; ik geloof dat hij onschuldig is maar ja, je weet het nooit zeker.

quote:

During the service Al Sharpton states that his last conversation with Dr. James Brown was that James asked if Michael was back in the US and told Al to tell MJ to come back home to the US and not to be afraid to come back. In other words, don't be afraid to face the critics, media. Basically, no matter what MJ does the media and the public will do everything in their power do degrade him to the lowest degree. But I hope MJ stands tall and not be afraid to face them, because he should expect the negativity from the media being the famous man that he is. Dr, James Brown went through a lot with the media criticizing him over the years trying to find everything negative against him, but he stood stron and proud and proved his legacy.

Mr. Bobby, Dr. Brown's friend mentioned that Dr. James Brown told him that he had a lot of work to do with MJ and Prince, it's apparent Dr. James Brown saw these 2 like his Godsons. I hope they both keep the music alive for Dr. Brown.
