Imagine the scene; you go to a James Brown gig in 1983. Amazing enough as that would be, at the last jam of the show, he brings on MICHAEL JACKSON from the audience. And MJ then whispers to James that PRINCE is in the audience, and he comes on too. Seriously - imagine THAT. So MJ sings a bit, dances a bit and wows the crowd. Then Prince comes on (carried by a minder, of course), has sex with a guitar, screeches, weirds everyone out then leaves. Brilliant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=37psKso6ybwTalk about once in a lifetime moments..

Wow. Three of the greatest and most influential performers in music history in an impromptu jam session onstage. It would have been awesomer if they'd planned it, though and had a whole medley thing planned together. But it was still amazing.

It actually depresses me a bit watching it. One, James is dead obviously, but there's no way MJ would ever do anything like this again. He looks like a star here, sure, but still one that actually knows a) what decade he's in and b) what planet he's on.
Have you heard about his big UK tour this year? Tickets are going for stupid amounts of money, but I honestly can't see the guy cutting it live anymore. It's a damn shame, but he's done. What'd you think?

Done. He moved to some Middle Eastern shitsplat of a country where rich folk can molest whomever they please, promised to cut a record with the ruler's kid (not a joke), Neverland Ranch belongs to the government now since he's broke, he's lost all of the talent and creativity he ever had, and people in general do not like pedophiles and won't pay a whole lot to see them. If that doesn't spell the end of a career like Jackson's, I don't know what does.
