We’re a little obsessed with Michael Jackson here in the ‘spray hole. Well we would wouldn’t we? He’s fascinatingly odd. We could stare at his gargoyle face all day long. Y’know, that one that didn’t change at all in the 40-odd years he hobbled around this poor planet.
His behaviour was like a particularly odd drama too. It was both hilarious and hugely upsetting. What a strange chap he was. And strikingly, it’s the weird that was picked up by his fans. Sure, they couldn’t ever hope to match his talent, but they sure could act like reserved lunatics. That’s definitely attainable.
Of course, these fancy-dress, groin-grabbing goons give sensible people the eebie-jeebies, and not exempt from that is Beyonce, who is happy to perform at the upcoming Michael Jackson tribute concert, provided its nowhere near those wide-eyed evangelical Jacksonites. She’s going to perform from the safety of a satellite link-up. Smart girl.
B has been confirmed for the ‘Michael Forever Tribute’ event, which will harrow everyone in Wales when it takes place on October 8th at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium.
Because she doesn’t care too much for this particular show (what will Michael’s brothers all thinking that it’s a little on the crass side, seeing as they’re going to be in court that weekend), she’ll just be appearing on a big screen performing a Jackson 5 song.
She may not even do it live.
She’ll be joined by such luminaries as Leona Lewis, Christina Aguilera, JLS, Cee Lo Green, Alexandra Burke, Pixie Lott, Craig David and Smokey Robinson.
Even the latter, an obvious legend, isn’t that big a draw, what with years of plastic surgery leaving him looking like he’s got tights on his head, always ready to rob a bank somewhere.
What a terrible tribute to a fantastically famous man.

Soliel Moon Frye (Punky Brewster) told the Today Show that MJ had her alone in a hot tub when she was just 8. What a wierd fuck.
Made good music though …..

Just keeps getting more laughable and sad with every “spectacular” act announced. Come to think of it it at least mirrors MJs life. Both laughable and sad. Good luck Cardiff we will all raise a pint in remembrance of what you once were before armeggedone arrived.

How many recall that prior to his death MJ was avoided and shunned by all the musicians and actors? After,when he went to that big candy store in the sky, he again was looked upon as a much beloved star “who died too soon.” As a show biz type said after a faded star died, “good career move.”
