It is morning in a Manhattan disco, and Michael Jackson — who owns perhaps the most scrutinized face in America — is smiling warily for a roomful of strangers. Jackson has come to New York for two weeks of near–continuous hubbub, which will include three sold–out concerts at Madison Square Garden and highly anticipated appearances on the thirtieth annual Grammy Awards program (his first televisheni performance since the 1983 Motown 25 show) and at a benefit chajio, chakula cha jioni for the United Negro College Fund. This morning, though, he is performing the one chore that he reportedly dreads most — he is standing still for the close attention of the media.
The occasion is a large–scale press conference, convened kwa Jackson's current tour sponsor, Pepsi, to commemorate a $600,000 contribution from the singer to the United Negro College Fund. But the philanthropy of the event is somewhat overshadowed kwa Pepsi's other purpose: namely, to première Jackson's flashy new four–episode commercial for the soda company, which will make its TV debut the following night, during the broadcast of the Grammy Awards at Radio City muziki Hall.
All in all, it is an odd excuse for a press gathering, and Jackson looks rather uncomfortable with the stagy formality of the situation. Not surprisingly, there is little he is willing to say about the occasion, and he does not take any maswali from the nearly 500 journalists who have gathered here. In short, like most Michael Jackson press conferences, this event is little zaidi than a grandiose picha opportunity — and yet it has all the drawing power of a significant political function. In a sense, it is easy to see why. It is as close to Michael Jackson as most members of the press are likely to get, and though there may be some reporters here who are put off kwa the singer, they still find him fascinating and are quite happy to ogle at his transfixing, part–beautiful, part–grotesque countenance.

Dr. Conrad Murray had requested lifesaving equipment and back-up help for Michael Jackson from the promoter of the London concerts -- AEG -- but the company never came through, according to a new complaint filed kwa Joe Jackson.
TMZ broke the story -- Joe was gunning for AEG kwa filing complaints with the California Medical Board and another agency, alleging the tamasha promoter abused Jackson in a way that led to his death -- and he's just filed with the Medical Board.
Joe claims days before Jackson's death Murray had requested a moyo resuscitation machine and a nurse in several e-mails making the request, but AEG never provided it.
According to the complaint, Joe is accusing AEG of co-opting Murray's medical judgment kwa enticing him with a huge salary -- in effect engaging in the "unlawful practice of corporate medicine."
Besides the CPR machine, Murray also asked for saline, catheters, needles and a gurney.
AEG and Murray had no comment.

I upendo Michael and i will always upendo him.
But I am sad when I see pictures of him when he was child, and I seeing my gallery with pictures of Michael, I see the progression as an artist but also physically, it's impossible don't repair.
When I see their worst times, he doesn't saw when should have stopped.
He was beautiful when he was black,but he was an artist, the best i ever seen.
But there were times when his face seemed so bad,but he did not realized that.
I try always see the black michael , beautiful, in white michael, with all the operations. it's very hard, and impossile. But inside he is the same person, forever.
He suffered so much from his skin disease, some people did not understand at all, he could not avoid.(...)
I upendo wewe anyway.

looking out
across the nightime
the city winks a sleepless eye
hear her voice
shake my window
sweet seducing sighs
2nd verse:
get me out
into the nightime
four walls won't hold me tonight
if this town
is just an apple
then let me take a bite
chorus:
if they say
why,why, tell'em that it's human nature
why,why,does he do me that way
if they say -
why,why,tell'em that it's human nature
why, why,does do me that way
3rd verse:
reaching out
to touch a stranger
Electric eyes are ev'ry where
see that girl
she knows i'm watching
she likes the way i stare
chrous:
if they say
why,why, tell'em that it's human nature
why,why, does do me that way
if they say-
why,why, tell'em that it's human nature
why,why,
instrumental
4th verse:
looking out
across the morning
where the city's moyo begins to beat
reaching out
i touch her shoulder
i'm dreaming of the street
(repeat chrous once)
