I'm watching Secret Millionaire right now. It is so inspiring. I've been bawling like a baby.
Wish I could watch it too. Maybe they add it on youtube. Did you see anything related with Michael and the hoax? Hold My Hand song was there in the show?

They didn't have the song.(I started watching it a couple of minutes into it, so maybe it was on right away? I'm not sure.) Nothing hoax-wise really stuck out to me, but the show is very inspiring. If you can catch it on Youtube, it would be worth your time.

Do you guys think its just coincidence that the same week that this show airs with MJ's song in the advertisment...that TMZ drops a story about MJ's kids volunteering in a soup kitchen...and giving away money to charity. Oh I noticed a sunflower on the wall of that room they did for the little girl...I also bawled like a baby. I think there is soooo much more going on in HOLLYWOOD than we are admitting or catching on to....!! Or I need a straight jacket! <!-- s --><!-- s -->
I was trying to remember what association MJ had with a music school. I couldn't find anything with him and the Joy of Music School in Nashville, which was featured on the Secret Millionaire. I did find this article that TMZ did about turning Neverland into a music school, though. Could this be part of connecting the dots?
Neverland Ranch -- A Teen Haven for Music
12/18/2010 1:00 AM PST by TMZ Staff
The owners of the Neverland Ranch -- the former home of Michael Jackson -- want to turn the property into a teenage music haven.
TMZ has learned Colony Capital wants to develop a business plan to turn Neverland into a small music institute -- similar to The Juilliard School in NYC. The plan is to teach teens all aspects of music, including writing and performing.
Colony wants to turn the property into a campus, in which scores of teenagers -- rich and poor -- can learn the trade that made Michael Jackson a legend.
There are two big stumbling blocks. The first is making sure Santa Barbara County will sign off on such a project.
The second -- and bigger issue -- is whether Colony Capital can use Michael Jackson's name to promote such an institute. TMZ has good news for Colony .... sources directly connected with the Michael Jackson Estate tell us, "It's an interesting idea and we'd be open to it."
You betcha anewfan.
I often think about Michael saying in This is It that he was going to put love back into the world to remind the world that LOVE is important...well what do we think he meant by that...that one concert was going to remind the world of LOVE, I think he meant he is using the t.v medium to put love back into the world...that would be taking the medium to a new level too...wouldn`t it <!-- s:idea: -->:idea:<!-- s:idea: -->
2@peacock...I do think he has his hands in a lot of shows/products/movies that we don't even know about.
@Purelove Now that I think about Secret Millionaire, these 82 year old twins named Ellen and Helen ran a soup kitchen for the homeless called the Love Kitchen. The millionaire (Dani Johnson) made the comment "Everything they do is for LOVE. Everything they represent is LOVE." (not exact words, but something to that effect.)
Here is a link to the abc website where you can watch full episodes of their shows. I don't know if it will work outside the US, but you could give it a try. This link is to the full episode of Secret Millionaire.

Yeah I caught those things too...these types of shows are exactley what Michael is talking about..I believe he has a hand in a lot more that we even give him credit for!
I'm watching Secret Millionaire and I am so thrilled to see that they are in Gary, Indiana, Michael's hometown this week!
Stay blessed!
Thanks for sharing - can you tell those of us that can't view the show what they did in Gary? Blessings!

He gave $50,000 to the Baylor Youth Basketball program that helps youths go to national tournaments and hopefully get noticed and get athletic scholarships to college. He also gave the coach $25,000 because he was unemployed and completely devoted to the girls.

Okay, this past Sunday, which was the third Secret Millionaire show, the millionaire went to in Gary, Indiana and gave his million away there. We all know that Gary is Michael's hometown.
This coming Sunday, which will be the fourth Secret Millionaire show, the millionaire will be in Los Angeles to give away the million. Los Angeles is Michael's second home town because in the summer of 1969 Michael, Jermaine and Jackie stayed at Suzanne de Passe's home off Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles while they recorded "I Want You Back" and a couple of other songs. Then later in 1970 Joseph moved the family from Gary to Los Angeles. They first moved into a two-story house at 1616 Queens Road in Los Angeles. The family later moved in 1971 to a gated mansion they called "Hayvenhurst", which we know as the "Encino Compound" which is in Encino, CA. Now the city of Encino could be considered a suburb of Los Angeles because it is in the County of Los Angeles.
I read an article somewhere that said it was at the Los Angeles Forum (an indoor arena in Inglewood, California, a suburb of Los Angeles) where the Jackson's held their first concert. In Michael's Opus book there are pictures of Michael taken around Los Angeles and at his Encino home in the early 70's. There is a picture of him at the famous Pink's hotdog stand in Los Angeles, shopping for shoes in an LA shoe store, on top of LA buildings and more (I love that book!). So LA is Michael's second hometown!
So why did I say I think it's interesting that two out of the first four cities of the show are related to Michael? Well I did a little research and the most recent information I could find said that in 2000 there were 19,355 cities in the United States. So what are the odds that a show totally unrelated to Michael Jackson spotlights, within the first 4 shows, the two cities where Michael lived(s)? I mean they had 19,353 other cities to chose from. Something that makes me go hummmmmm. <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: --> Maybe this is where those who are into the numbers things can comment! Just a thought!
WoW! That is really interesting. <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: --> Thank you so much for explaining it to us.
You are very welcome, it was my pleasure! <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P -->
There is a posting on this site about an article concerning Michael being the 2nd highest money maker in the US in 2010, 2nd only to Oprah. I've always felt from the very beginning when I realized that this was a hoax, that Michael would give away some, if not a lot of the money he made during his absence because he has always given money to charities! That's why he holds the Gunniees record for charitable donations.
So a show like the Secret Millionaire is a great way for Michael to give away secretly some of the money he has made since his absence, before he even returns. Michael is a smart cookie, and I think this is one way to answer the critics <!-- s:evil: -->:evil:<!-- s:evil: --> who are going to come at him full force when he returns about the money his estate made while he was supposedly dead!
Michael's newly released song playing in the commercial ads for the show and his two hometowns being recipients in the very beginning seals it for me! I'm convinced that Michael has something to do with the Secret Millionaire! <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
You know someone said on this site that we shouldn't contribute every thing that comes along to Michael, but in this case, I think that some things are just plain obvious. And I think that's what this site is all about, getting us to look at things more closely!
Hi everyone, I found out why those of you who live outside the US cannot watch the shows. There is a site called “ShareTV” that has a note on its site that says:
NOTE: Due to copyright restrictions set by the networks videos are currently only available to U.S. visitors. If it were up to us we would of course make the episodes available to everyone. -- ShareTV Team
So that answers your question as to why you cannot see the shows.
I also found out that the Secret Millionaire, which is based on a British show of the same name first aired here in the US on the FOX Channel in 2008 and they only did 5 shows and it was canceled.
The show that aired this past Sunday (3/27) in LA’s “Skid Row” was actually filmed last April 2010. The millionaire gave $25,000 to “3 on 3 Street Ball League” a mentorship program that works to get people off the streets an into a more productive life. One of the young men showed the millionaire a mural painted of the area on what looked like a concrete wall that had been defaced with spray paint, so he committed to restoring the wall.
He also gave $25,000 and 200 sleeping bags to a young man who with his own funds put together toiletry bags and passed them out on Skid Row along with clothing. One thing he did while there with the millionaire tugged on my heart. There was an older man on a walker who had old shoes that had feces on them. He asked the man what size shoes he wore and he said a size 8 and the young man took his sport shoes off (which looked to be new) and gave them to the man. The man was totally shocked and thrilled! The millionaire was blown away!
Last he gave $45,000 to a lady who turned her 5-bedroom house into a home for homeless mothers with teenage as well as small children. The house is called “Alexandria House.” It appears that homeless women have difficulty finding shelter if they have teenage children. And he also gave her $5,000 to divide among the 9 ladies that were staying there and 10 new computers.
After the show, the ABC 11p.m. news in LA did an update to show how the money was used that was given to the Alexandria House. The lady who started the home said it kept the doors open in a bad economy. The 10 new computers he gave them were placed in the teen center. One family was able to move out with the money he gave to be split among the 9 ladies. One of the ladies now works at the home as an employee. The owner of the home is still talking to the millionaire that gave the money, and he says he may give more. She ended her interview for the news by saying, “We all can be heroes by doing a little bit more.”
It appears there are only two more shows to air. It seems the ratings have continued to decline since the first show on 3/6. Here are all of the episodes.
Episodes: Secret Millionaire - 11 total Episodes ABC
4/10/2011: Ali Brown: Venice, CA, Season 2, Episode 6, the season finale

It is sad that the show may not be back after the next two episodes.
Blessings to you all! OnTheWingsOfLove
Here is an update for the show that aired tonight.
A husband and wife team went to Houston Texas and they gave away the largest amount of money of all the shows so far. $100,000 to the Lazarus Home for people who are living with HIV. $250,000 to Sean Ashley House, a day rehabilitation program for children with autism. The Sean Ashley House really pulled at the couple's heart strings because they have a grandchild who has autism. $50,000 to No More Victims a mentoring program for children. They also gave $20,000 to a young man who was a volunteer there, and who was putting himself through college.
Next week the millionaire will be in Venice, CA. and supposedly that will be the last show. <!-- s --><!-- s -->

The lady who started the home said it kept the doors open in a bad economy. The 10 new computers he gave them were placed in the teen center. One family was able to move out with the money he gave to be split among the 9 ladies. One of the ladies now works at the home as an employee. The owner of the home is still talking to the millionaire that gave the money, and he says he may give more. She ended her interview for the news by saying, “We all can be heroes by doing a little bit more.”

Here is an update for the show that aired tonight.
A husband and wife team went to Houston Texas and they gave away the largest amount of money of all the shows so far. $100,000 to the Lazarus Home for people who are living with HIV. $250,000 to Sean Ashley House, a day rehabilitation program for children with autism. The Sean Ashley House really pulled at the couple's heart strings because they have a grandchild who has autism. $50,000 to No More Victims a mentoring program for children. They also gave $20,000 to a young man who was a volunteer there, and who was putting himself through college.
Next week the millionaire will be in Venice, CA. and supposedly that will be the last show. <!-- s
Stay Blessed!
