FAN DIARY: "I still can't believe it. I saw Michael...!!"
Created: Saturday, 08 October 2005
(PIX coming soon! Check back!)
Yep, that’s right! You heard!
It all began this morning when me and my friend Jade went to meet my two best MJ buds, Karl and Steve (Biggsy) at Victoria Station at 11:30. We caught the first taxi we could find and made our way excitedly to the hotel where Michael was staying, 'The Dorchester' in Park Lane.
After non-stop laughter and excitement and about a 7 minute drive, we got out, outside of the hotel. We arrived to find about 50 fans gathered around the hotel, some with huge posters, signs and banners reading "Michael Jackson - We love you more". They were playing his music, joyfully singing his songs and meeting each other. Of course, we fit in straight away.
There was, of course, press scattered about, trying to get interviews from fans. We were all only too happy to tell the world how wonderful Michael is and explain why we made such an effort to be there.
We stood there patiently for 2 hours straight, waiting hopefully, excitedly - were we really going to meet Michael Jackson!!?? The King of Pop - our idol!!!?? Within an hour, hotel security bought out some bars to keep us back as much as they could. Fans went mad. Was he finally going to make an appearance? We made up this chant. Half would yell "MICHAEL" and the other half "JACKSON" this went on for about 20 minutes. Other little songs were chanted later.
At one point a lady peered from out of the hotel. She came up to myself and a couple of others and tipped us off about where Michael would be at 2:30. "You heard about the show Billy Elliot, going on at the 'Victoria Palace theatre? You guys should go, ya know its sounds good, starts at 2:30," she whispered. "Is Michael going to be there?" someone asked. "I dunno," she said (almost cheekily). She looked away for a second then whispered "Don't tell the press!" She walked away - we didn't know what to think. Who was she? Did she know Michael? Was he going to be there? We wondered for a while.
Michael's car suddenly appeared. It took off and drove round the corner past the hotel. Fans went mad!! We all ran as fast as we could – screaming!!
Was this Mike?? Was he really in this car? It turns out it wasn't (though it was his car). When it stopped round the corner we realized this was a diversion to get us out of the way so he could leave the hotel and go to the theatre without too much of a struggle. This was not to be, however, when the fans caught on we all ran soooo fast still screaming, past the hotel and just up the road slightly.
Where were we? I thought. The crowd of us had stopped where his car now was. It was still the hotel building but it was this place 'The Ballroom' it said. His car sat there. Someone walked into the lobby, they looked shocked, this lady had just seen Paris (Michael’s young daughter) run past through the window. "OMG, I just saw little Paris! She’s soooo beautiful! She was running past in a little red dress!" We all talked about it for a minute then I decided to go and have a look for myself. After 1 minute, the hotel manager said Michael was about to leave through this door. I was shell-shocked. Was he really going to stand where I was standing??? I realized I was really going to see him! Soon police and guards forced us into 2 separate groups. One on the left side the other on the right. There was a walkway in between where Michael would walk through to enter his car with his children. Someone opened his car doors and some fans shouted "Be calm, be calm, be calm!” Holding each other back (well, the rowdy ones anyway). We didn’t want poor Mike to be bombarded, we wanted to make history and make it so that this would be the first time when fans would stay calm.
Soon out came 'Grace' the children’s nanny. "Be careful" she said - "his children are there" she said warning us. Out they came, one behind the other. First little Paris, then following her was her gorgeous brother, Prince. I remember crouching down to get a view of them. Prince was right in front of me! OMG! It couldn't be, I thought. I was shaking, along with everyone else. I just couldn't believe it. Prince had these huge brown eyes and big blonde hair. Paris had long brown, wavy hair. Just before Prince got into the car he turned around and looked at his daddy behind (who had just appeared). I will never forget the look on his face. He looked sort of sad, and desperate. He looked like he was thinking 'here we go again look what they’re doing to you, Dad'. They got into the car.
Now was the big one. Michael Jackson himself. The feeling I had was just soooo indescribable. The most amazing feeling I'd ever felt in my whole life. He was there standing in front of me! He stopped for a minute or two to sign autographs. It was kind of funny the way he was grabbing the pics of himself, really reluctantly and slowly, worried he might be pulled into the crowd. My friend Jade was among those wanting their pics signed. He said no more but she said to him, "MJ, please sign my picture!" He said ‘ok’ and took it, signed it and handed it back. He walked passed us all and crawled into the car.
They sped off.
The plan now was to grab the nearest taxi and follow him. Maybe he WAS going to the theatre after all? I walked away from the building and back to the entrance of the hotel, I found myself in tears. My emotions were running high, along with many other people's right then. Jade stopped to calm me down. We lost Karl and Steve. I spoke to them on the phone to find they were outside the theatre. They had followed Mike there. Me and Jade jumped into the nearest taxi we could find (we couldn’t find the underground station and we were in a rush). After 10 minutes and £7, we jumped out at the entrance to the theatre and found our friends. We talked for about 5 minutes and suddenly fans screaming again. Again they made two sides of fans and a walkway for Michael. A couple of police where there but not much security at all. The first person to get out of the car was Raymone Bain, Michael’s spokesperson. She stood at the entrance and yelled “Listen! Michael’s children are there! PLEASE be calm". After a second the children’s nanny ran out of the car really quickly with Paris in her arms. Kicking and crying, poor little girl. She must have been petrified (although probably used to it). It’s still a scary thing for a small child. The only video I got this time was of Grace and Paris's kicking legs and feet.
Prince soon scuttled along, thank god he made it ok. No one was expecting what was to come. Michael jumped out of the car. He walked towards the entrance and was unexpectedly pushed to the ground. He was on his knees. People were quite rough at this point. It was quite a sight. An awful one at that. Many of our hearts went out for him at that point. Michael was picked up and pulled into the venue by one of the security. What an awful thing to happen. The picture of him enclosed in this email is Michael just seconds before the incident we had got out of the car, taken by Jade. This is how close we actually were to him. Jo, my friend actually touched him too.
Myself, Jade, Karl, Steve and Jo all went to Burger King across the road. We looked back on all of our videos and pictures. We couldn’t believe how lucky we were. Twice in one day! We sat and ate our well deserved meals. After all we hadn't eaten or drunk for hours. Waiting outside the hotel there was no shops or anything. I looked at my friends, they were all staring out of the window. What was it I thought? Karl explained something weird was going on because all the fans were crowded together outside the theatre. I didn’t think anything of it because I couldn’t see. I sarcastically said "Is this one of those times where we drop our food and run?" They all
laughed and looked calm - about 3 second later, maybe even 2, they looked outside then at each other and yelled "YES!" and I’ve never seen anything like it. The whole of Burger King upped and left. It was soooo funny we ran outside and had to cross this huge road to get back to the theatre. I was like "OMG, I didn’t mean it, guys! LOL!" They were all like "LOOK" I ran across the road with my hands full, my drink in one hand. I got excited and yelled "**** it" and smashed my coke to the ground. We thought Mike was coming out but it turned out that his spokesperson, Raymone Bain, was outside having a fag brake. LOL! The whole situation was soooo hilarious because of what I’d said. We all left our food and stuff in there as well. Never went back for it.
Steve asked Raymone if, when she went back into the theatre, she’d get Mike to sign his Box Set. She took it. I still don’t know whether he got it back yet. Me and Jade left after a bit of mingling with the fans. We chatted to them, swapped images and videos. They were all great people, so kind, and excited. We were all together on this. There was kind of a unique bond going on. Myself and Jade hugged our friends goodbye when all of a sudden fans were chanting "**** the press, MJ is the best” That was excellent. I went "wait a minute - I HAVE to join in quickly". We then left after a minute or so. I was sad to see the end of an amazing day!
I still can't believe it. I saw Michael and his gorgeous babies.
He was healthy, had a wonderful complexion and looked happy, which we were all soooo glad to see. I hope his experience wasn't too bad for him.
I know I'll never forget this day. It was magical. And I wouldn't have loved to share it with anyone else. My friends are amazing guys and the fans were fantastic as well. I hope to see them all next time.As for those of you who are going tomorrow good luck! Just remember to stay as calm as possible and try to keep people calm. Have fun! Hope you are successful in MJ spotting. Oh and remember not to believe EVERYTHING you're told. Just be wise.
Love to you all!
