Elizabeth: “I have absolute faith and trust in Michael’s abilities. I think they’re much larger than anyone has dreamt of. I think he’s going to be one of the great superstars of all time.
伊丽莎白：“我有绝对的自信并且相信迈克的能力。我认为他的才华要比任何人所梦想拥有的还要巨大。我认为他将成为最棒的超级巨星，永远的。

I think Michael appeals to the child in all of us and I think he has the quality of innocence that we would all like to obtain or have kept.
我认为迈克显示出了我们所有人身上拥有童真，我认为他拥有单纯天真的特质是我们都希望拥有或者保留的。

And there’s a quality about Michael that is so rare and you… he is E.T. He’s not really of this planet.
迈克的特质是那么罕见……他是外星人。他不是真正属于我们这个星球的。

(smiles) I love you, Michael.”

David Gest’s autobiography, re: American Cinema Awards, January 30, 1989,
David的自传：章节：美国电影奖，1989.1.30

There was always a tension between Sophia and Elizabeth, I felt. They were both Hollywood sex symbols, two of the great beauties of all time. There was respect there, of course. Each respected the other for what they had accomplished. When I honoured Elizabeth at the American Cinema Awards, for instance, Sophia arrived arm in arm with Michael Jackson, which had made me smile a little. Michael was closer to Elizabeth than he was to Sophia.
我感到在索菲亚和伊丽莎白之间总有一种紧张的关系。她们都是好莱坞的性感象征，永远都是两位最出色的大美人。她们当然互相尊重。她们互相尊重对方的成就。当我为伊丽莎白颁发美国电影奖的时候，索菲亚手腕着手带着迈克杰克逊一起出现，我不禁露出一丝苦笑。比起索菲亚，迈克和伊丽莎白的关系更好。

Interview with Bob Paterson, choreographer for Smooth Criminal, May 3 1989

“I met Elizabeth Taylor through Michael,” says Paterson, speaking from his New York hotel room the other day. At the time, Paterson was working on Jackson’s Smooth Criminal video.

“He called me one night and said,” here Paterson adopts the high timbre softspoken tone of the Gloved One, “There’s someone I want you to meet. And she came down and I mean just everybody’s jaw dropped. She’s so beautiful. So I just sat down and talked to her for about half an hour. Just fantastic. And the fact is she does have purple eyes. She’s exquisite. Absolutely exquisite.”

Releases Liberian Girl, July 3rd 1989

Michael dedicates the song to Elizabeth Taylor.

Elizabeth Taylor by Ava Gardner, Good housekeeping, 1989

Elizabeth’s beauty doesn’t come from the shape of her face or nose or mouth or even those magnificent yes, it comes from an inner strength and energy that very few people are blessed with. Also, a goodness and kindness that very few people are privileged or bother to see in her. They see the facade but not the remarkable woman inside . I’ve known her since she was a teenager, and I really haven’t seen much change in the person herself except a growth in character. But she has always been the same person — true and real — and like all great beauties she becomes more so as she ages. She has had many battles to fight in her life and has won with dignity and humanity. I admire her, and especially love her, because of her great love for animals and Michael Jackson.

1990

June 3, 1990

Michael collapses while dancing at the Hideout. He is taken to St John Hospital of Los Angeles where he is treated for chest pains.

He gets visits from the whole Jackson family (except LaToya) + Elizabeth Taylor who is treated in the same hospital.


Jackson Family Values, Margaret Maldonado, on her visiting him in hospital

Elizabeth Taylor was going to visit and Michael wanted some privacy. Jermaine made a wisecrack about Elizabeth and was quickly put in his place. “Don’t ever talk bad about Elizabeth Taylor to me, Jermaine,” Michael said softly. “She’s beautiful. The most beautiful woman I’ve ever met.” By this time Michael and Elizabeth were already well acquainted but their friendship would grow during this brief stay in the hospital. She came for visits several times a day and sometimes brought him violets, which stood in sweet contrast to the dozen black roses LaToya had delivered from London.

1990年6月3日

MJ因为跳舞时摔倒受伤，他被送进医院治疗胸部疼痛。杰克逊家族所有人（除了latoya）都来医院访问他了，伊丽莎白也在同一家医院接受治疗。

jermaine说了一个Liz的玩笑话，但马上被迈克制止。“永远不要对我说伊丽莎白泰勒的坏话，jermaine。”迈克轻声的说，“她很美丽。她是我遇见过最美丽的女人。”
在待在医院的这段时间里，MJ和Liz的友谊日渐增涨。她一天来看迈克好几次，有时还带来一些紫罗兰。这和latoya从伦敦寄来的十几只黑玫瑰形成甜美对比。

LaToya Jackson’s Autobiography, published October 1991
拉托亚的自传，1991年10月发行（注，这本书里争议很大，据说很多都是胡说八道）

Other women, probably attracted to Michael’s relative innocence, approached him even more directly. But other women were simply friends, and he receieved many gifts from them, which he took as thoughtful tokens of their affection. One famous actress gave him a set of beautiful gray silk sheets monogrammed with her initials, ET. We thought they were so sumptuous and pretty: we never thought there was anything untoward about the gesture.

Toronto Star, October 8 1991

I asked Michael Jackson if the whole procedure had gotten out of hand or was too much for him. He was his usual shy, soft spoken self, but said, “I would do anything for Elizabeth. I truly love her. We’re so much alike, you know.”

我问迈克，他是否为整个婚礼过程超支太多或者超过他应该承担的。他用他一贯的充满害羞的，轻柔的声音说，“我会为伊丽莎白做任何事。我真的爱她。我们是如此的相像，你知道的。”

Newsday, October 8 1991

At the end of the evening I left Elizabeth Taylor, still in her wedding gown, dancing with her new husband and being cut in on by Michael Jackson. Everybody seemed happy, but the party ended early, by 10:30pm.

在那晚最后，我离开了伊丽莎白泰勒，她任然穿着她的婚纱和她的新丈夫跳舞，并被迈克杰克逊打断。每个人看起来都非常高兴，但是婚礼很早就结束了，在晚上10点30分的时候。

非常抱歉，今天没有更新，但是请允许我聊一下题外话：）
今天看综艺节目的时候，看到有人跳MJ的舞蹈，而且还放了几段MJ的舞蹈，觉得好开心，然后就情不自禁的把它拍了下来。



大家是不是和我一样，在电视上看到MJ的录像也会很激动很开心呢？？







节目组放了SC还有BOW和BJ之中最精彩的一小段舞蹈和MV。

这个综艺节目专门从全世界找一些各个领域的超级达人（很多已经是全国或者是世界冠军的人）来现场表演一些绝技，然后现场有300人的观众用自己的金钱来给他们评分。
如果你觉得这个表演值多少钱，你就可以用手上的机器直接输入金钱的数字来支持这个表演者（这个不是开玩笑的，一旦输入数字是真的要付钱的）。
然后这个金钱的总额会全部送给表演者，成为这个表演者的演出费。

今天节目还没开始前就有预告说有人要来跳MJ的舞蹈，然后我看到这个预告当然就义无返顾的守在电视前等待。这个节目时从6点左右开始到11点左右结束的，结果我等啊等，这个跳MJ舞蹈的人竟然是最后一个出来的（可恶的节目组，他们是故意这么安排的……）

不过等待还是值得的。
这个要跳MJ舞蹈的人是目前日本最好的踢踏舞者，他在一秒内可以踢16下脚（一般的街舞舞者只能踢8下）。



他率领着他的伴舞用踢踏舞跳MJ的经典舞蹈，比如thriller，billie jean，smooth criminal等等。其中最棒的就是他用踢踏舞跳了moonwalk，非常精彩。



用踢踏舞模仿MJ舞蹈中。

然后舞蹈结束，到了300名观众来评估他们表演的价值的时候了。



大家到底会为他的表演付出多少钱呢？？



234万2500日元！！！好厉害！！（相当于20万人民币左右）



这是节目史上最高金额！！！厉害厉害！
（其他达人的表演的金额都在50万日元左右徘徊，超过100万日元概率非常非常小，整个节目历史上也没有几个）



采访采访这位出了35万日元高价的社长，社长，你为什么会出那么多钱呢？？
社长：其实我是迈克杰克逊的大饭！！前一阵我还在拍卖会上买下了迈克杰克逊穿过的thriller红色夹克衫（图右上）！！下次希望你能够穿着真正的thriller的红色夹克，用你的踢踏舞表演迈克杰克逊的舞蹈！！



一听到这位社长愿意把自己的MJ收藏夹克借给他表演，这位小哥可乐坏了（的确是乐坏了，234万2500日元完完全全都是归他所有的，而且还得到许诺可以穿MJ穿过的thriller夹克衫表演）

MJ的饭的力量是无限的，好高兴能看到各个领域都有MJ的饭在各种场合支持着MJ<3<3

king of pop forever！！
