If I am posting this in the wrong place... feel free to remove it.

Last night after i was reading thing on this site. Something started to click in my head.

I remember when I was little there was a song that came out Rockwell- Somebody's Watching Me.

<!-- m -->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YvAYIJSSZY<!-- m -->

Watch it.. There was a lot of things that stand out!!!

Now at Wikipedia:

Rockwell is the son of Motown CEO Berry Gordy Jr. The singer had himself signed to Motown without his father's knowledge. The elder Gordy did not find out that Rockwell was his son Kennedy until after the single and the accompanying album, Somebody's Watching Me, were released.[citation needed]

Produced by Curtis Anthony Nolen, the song featured backing vocals by Michael Jackson.[2] "Somebody's Watching Me" peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984, and reached the top of the Billboard R&B singles chart, as well as reaching number six on the UK Singles Chart.

It was the only major hit (one-hit wonder) for Rockwell. His follow-up single, "Obscene Phone Caller," was Rockwell's only other Top 40 single, reaching #35 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 2009, the song was ranked #20 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s.

Now look at the Alternate covers!!! What do you see!!!!!!!!!

Makes me wonder if Michael wrote the song and didn't take the credit for it..

If there is a thread on this I am sorry to start a new one.. I looked to see but found nothing.. lol

    ok, I kept watching the video and something really got to me... in the beginning it shows a newspaper with chinese writing..

    Something hit me when I kept seeing a dog, pig and a crow! Made me look up the year of the Dog and Pig!

    Year of the Pig: Hai (?) is the twelfth sign of the Earthly Branches. Its animal representation is the pig or boar (?). In Chinese culture, the pig is associated with fertility and virility. To bear children in the Year of the Pig is considered to be very fortunate, for they will be happy and honest.

    People born within these date ranges, of the lunar calendar, can be said to have been born in the "Year of the Pig," while also bearing the following elemental sign:

    * 3 February 1899 – 31 January 1900: Earth Pig
    * 30 January 1911 – 17 February 1912: Metal Pig
    * 16 February 1923 – 4 February 1924: Water Pig
    * 4 February 1935 – 23 January 1936: Wood Pig
    * 22 January 1947 – 9 February 1948: Fire Pig
    * 8 February 1959 – 25 May 1961: Earth Pig
    * 27 January 1971 – 14 February 1972: Metal Pig
    * 13 February 1983 – 1 February 1984: Water Pig
    * 31 January 1995 – 18 February 1996: Wood Pig
    * 16 February 2007 – 6 February 2008: Fire Pig
    * 5 February 2019 – 24 January 2020: Earth Pig
    * 2031 – 2032: Metal Pig
    * 2043 – 2044: Water Pig
    * 2055 – 2056: Wood Pig

    Year of the Dog

    1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006

    People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other people¡¦s confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog people make good leaders. They are compatible with those born in the Years of the Horse, Tiger, and Rabbit.

    MICHEAL WAS BORN IN 1958!!!

    In the video Rockwell is looking at a tombstone with his name on it!

    Hmmm.. what does that remind you of <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->

    from wikipedia:

    In 1984, Rockwell released his biggest hit single, "Somebody's Watching Me", featuring childhood friends Michael Jackson on guest vocals (notably in the chorus lyrics), and Jermaine Jackson singing back-up.

    I didn't hear Jermaine's voice in the song. I only hear Rockwell and MJ. Here's the cover of the albume

    I have been thinking of this song at least a zillion times since June 25th. For
    some reason, it randomly reverberates through my mind at the oddest of times.

    I never thought to look for a clue here. Maybe dig deeper into Rockwell. All I knew
    about this song was Rockwell asked his friend Michael to sing backup vocals.
  • I wonder Rockwell / Kennedy Gordy, where is he now? KG did not appear at the funeral? <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
    I wonder who made this video? KG faces / album cover will change the face MJ / album cover <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: --> KG is changed to look like the same as MJ? <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->

    Wow! I'm so young, lol (I'm turning 22 in 10 days). I never knew that was Mike in the background. I kinda just listened to that song if it played & sang along to the chorus but never really noticed but now I hear him soooo clear. I wonder if he did write it & not take credit for it, I wouldn't be surprised. Interesting, thanks for posting. I learn something new everyday on here. lol.

    Maybe it was a process vice versa: Michael wrote the song and asked Rockwell to sing the lyrics and to perform in the video?? We should remember it was in 1983, at the peak of Jacksons success after Thriller. It could have been a way of passing criticism on stalkers and the media which constricted his private life without showing his own face..??

    And maybe we should also allow ourselves to look for some further clues, see my last posts on this thread: <!-- l -->viewtopic.php?f=31&t=5932&start=50<!-- l -->
  • What a load of crap.

    I wouldn't dismiss things so quickly. music and movie industry are very corrupt! Even any major corporations are!
    You see it everywhere! There is major smoke screens that are put into place to hide the fact! Police and other agencies are bought off very easy by any industry.

    When I look for truth in anything in this world, I don't take anything that is said as the truth. I make sure i look at everything.. If something don't seem right.. Most of the time it's not! You have to trust your inner self!

    I was born in CA, and close to LA and lived there for quit a bit of time and I will just say that I have had a family member in a certain agency. In fact a few diff ones and somethings never sat right in diff parts of life when I lived there.

    I will not go into it all but, it made me since i was young to not trust what I see in the news, trust certain people and all that! I am haunted by many things because of all the corruption.

    IMO I see a lot of MJ in it! MJ did have a lot of symbolism to what he did.. I feel he had a major hand in this song and video!

    You can't always believe what the industry tells you. Look at Milli Vanilli! They never sang the songs and the industry made millions believe they did!!!!

    Everyone here is in search of the truth! Anything that is/might be connected to MJ is worth to look into.
    Somethings may lead to a dead end but there maybe something hiding waiting to come to light.

    Every bit of info from anyone will help us uncover the truth! Even if it something that leads to a dead end!

    it's all for L.O.V.E!!!! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
  • There is also a mask on the wall at 1:02
    It looks exactely like the one from Thriller!
  • What a load of crap.


    You can also communicate here with respect...Just in case you didn't knew yet.

    I remember posting the eyes pictures back at MJHD and I was laughed at. They were friends and Kennedy has disappeared since 1984, so interesting enough I guess.

    "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

    I found out that Rockwell was the seventh child of Barry Gordy.
  • lynnlynn Posts: 46
    Here is 2 more things I have found about Somebody's watching me.
    Thought I would just add it to the topic..

    Rockwell Testifies Jackson Was Inspiration for '80s Hit.



    --WARNING: SATIRE AHEAD--

    In a stunning courtroom development, prosecutors put one-time Michael Jackson protege "Rockwell" on the stand to testify against the former "King of Pop". Rockwell, whose real name is Kennedy William Gordy, testified that Michael Jackson was the inspiration for his '80s hit, "Somebody's Watching Me".

    Gordy, the son of Motown founder Berry Gordy, explained, saying "I was watching Michael with some kids one day, and it just kind of hit me what a freak he was. The way he was always watching them, like he was undressing them with his eyes. It really creeped me out. And that's where the song came from. I just put myself in the mind of one of the little boys, and how it would feel to be around Michael. Of course, I had to change the words a little to keep from being sued, but I think people knew who I was talking about."

    Sample lyrics from Rockwell's song include:
    I always feel like somebody's watching me
    And I have no privacy (oh oh oh)
    ....
    When I'm in the shower, I'm afraid to wash my hair
    'Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there

    Michael's freakish behavior was also the inspiration for some of the creepier shots in the accompanying music video.

    "All those shots you see of me hiding in the closet, or standing in the shower with my boxers on, or running through the house trying to get away from that pig-dog, that's all Michael," said Rockwell. "Seriously. You wouldn't believe the stories I used to hear about him in the studio. My little nephew said every time he turned around Michael was sneaking up on him, dropping a bar of soap and asking him to pick it up, that sort of shit."

    "Thank God by the time I recorded the song with him I already had my pubes, that's all I'm saying."

    Ok, now watch the the video of VH1 popup video.

    <!-- m -->http://www.vh1.com/video/rockwell/20417 ... g-me.jhtml<!-- m -->

    Maybe that is why he can't be found after he testifies <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->

    IMO Rockwell was fool of crap! He wanted back into the spotlight.
