<br />think it was marlon who said he would know him anywhere by the shoes. wasn't it michael himself i think that said the fans know him by his movements ?<br />
<br /><br />Yes, you are right. It was Marlon. So then why WOULD Jackie be the only one there? As for his movements, there is a certain quality and confidence when Michael is really 'ON' that can't quite be imitated. I have an acquaintance who is a Michael fan and a sometimes beLIEver. I saw her today and we shared our reactions. She felt it too and we just screamed and felt the shivers you get when you just KNOW something! It was so amazing to share that excitement!
Watch this for yourself, and pray for protection, spiritually, before you do! It’s creepier than ever, and chilling to the bone! <br /> <br />Warning! This video contains EXTREMELY GRAPHIC and sexually suggestive content.
Not only is it creepy to watch Michael Jackson, who is dead, appear totally real on stage, dancing and singing with extremely sexually graphic female dancers, but there is so much satanic symbolism in this video, I can’t even begin to explain! The name of the song, the costumes, the dance, the props—you name it, IT’S IN THERE! I am also pretty sure that all of the dancers, the scenery, props and more are also holographic images. <br /> <br />As a side note, it begins by hinting at martial law with a SWAT team coming out on stage doing a dance! Any symbolism there? Pretty obvious, if you ask me.
<br /> The Secret Of Michael Jackson's Illusion<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />THE GRAND ILLUSION<br />Audiences at Sunday's Billboard Music Awards ceremony were treated to a performance of Slave to the Rhythm by none other than the late Michael Jackson himself. Though widely mistaken as a hologram, the performance by Michael Jackson was the result of computer-generated images, live performers and a touch of illusion known as Pepper's ghost. Here's how producers mixed fantasy with reality:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — Michael Jackson came back to life last Sunday on the Billboard Music Awards telecast. And the team that orchestrated his high-tech resurrection is beaming through their fatigue.<br /><br />"It scared us to death to create an image that had to look, feel and function for four minutes like an entertainer everyone in the world knows," says Frank Patterson, CEO of digital effects firm Pulse Evolution. "You have to see his eyes and moves and believe it was him."<br /><br />After a week of social and online media speculation about how the effect was pulled off, Florida-based Pulse exclusively invited USA TODAY to its Bay Area studios, located in the former headquarters of George Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic, to explain the details behind Jackson's performance of Slave to the Rhythm, off the late singer's new album, Xscape.<br /><br />But first, a plea. "It's not a hologram," says Pulse Executive Chairman John Textor, sitting in the room where the Jackson effect was crafted with Patterson and visual effects supervisor Stephen Rosenbaum, who worked on Avatar.<br /><br />So what is it? "An illusion," Patterson says.<br /><br />Indeed, Pulse refined a 19th-century magician's technique called Pepper's ghost, which Textor — then leading Oscar-winning graphics company Digital Domain — also employed to summon the ghost of slain rapper Tupac Shakur at the Coachella music festival in 2012. The effect involves projecting an image on glass or plastic at a 45-degree angle, which brings that image into the viewer's field of view.<br /><br />But the Jackson illusion was infinitely more complex to pull off. "Tupac had no hair, and just stood there, where Michael had to be all over the place," Patterson says.<br /><br />There is also a video<br /><br />Link to article: http://www.mjjcommunity.com/news/the-secret-of-michael-jacksons-illusion?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter<br />

No comments ?<br />
<br /><br />There suppose to be a big screen were people were looking at.<br />Not everybody had good sight at the stage.<br />I dont see the people with caps? looke again :icon_e_confused:<br />Family puzzles me also,why no comment at all??
ummm know what. i would also expect some sort of opinion on this from oh say karen and kenny and some of the other ummm will call them regulars of michael's performance past. and even more so why does no one seem to be pursuing them for comment?
<br />just watched the performance several more times. i have to admit the more i watch, the more i appreciate it. i am still seeing 2 different faces, imo. the dance routines are simple and not as smooth & fluent as that of a younger person, ( u would think if it's not real make it as best u can) i thought the moonwalk was messed up but it seems like it's changed. the beat seems 1, 2, 1, 1-2, 1, 1-2. but, the movement with the rhythm is on point, but stiffer ( i know what that's like :icon_rolleyes:) i love that with mj, his being in sync with every bing, bam & boom of a beat. i have to admit at the end when he sat down and propped his leg across the arm of the chair, i did FEEL something. so my analysis right or wrong crazy or not, :Pulling_hair: i think at least some (if not all) of it was him. older & stiffer with some kind of morphing face. some of his movements reminded me of sofurgofromashes.<br />
<br /><br />I agree. I wasn't overwhelmed by the song at first, but after repeated listenings, I'm a slave to it! As for the beat, I am not a musician so I speak with very limited understanding, but I found the beat in his new songs to be more jazzy, slightly asynchronous and often a bit surprising. But back to the topic at hand. I know what you mean by FEELING something. Seeing is NOT beLIEving because it's our feelings that will lead us to the truth. And also when he sat down in the chair, I have to say I sensed a 'Fuck you!' attitude on his part. It was a turf war on a global scale. I won. :michael_jackson-1135:<br /><br />That vid was great, BTW! Wonder why they mentioned Avatar and Benjamin Button? A friend watching the vid with me last night remarked that he looked younger. IS he younger? All that talk way back about the fountain of youth. <br /><br />I didn't personally think his dancing looked stiff, but again I'm no expert. Did look like sofurgofromashes. The movements were very controlled and his moonwalk serious, almost as though he was stomping out something. Everyone was expecting something spectacular and convincing. I was waiting for those phone calls from skeptical friends apologizing for calling me a crackpot. <br /><br />So what was the point? What exactly did we see? It was not a song and dance performance, 'Michael performing the songs his fans want him to sing.' ;D The King of Pop is dead, after all. <br /><br />BUT the King himself is not dead and a King, after all, doesn't usually perform, but has others perform for him! (Remember the Time comes to mind) But how would we know it was him if he didn't 'perform' in some way? Seems to me he found a way to perform but not perform. It felt a bit Shakespearean to me, a television event that will change history. The return of the King. <br /><br />Funny though that they made a point of saying that only Jackie was there! Wasn't it Jackie who said he would know his brother anywhere by his movements? And didn't he say he felt his presence? Just sayin..<br />
<br /><br /><br />isn't jackie actually still in the business in some way that is more leaning toward production? seems i remember some mention of maybe even some connection that he actually had to the michael album or did they just discuss comment from him? so much has transpired over the last almost five years. :icon_pale:

<br /><br />Sigmund Esco "Jackie" Jackson "speaks" because he works for "SONY corp."......and he has to feed those twins of his lol :LolLolLolLol:.
Hello everyone<br /><br />Wow, I found it amazing. So many things going throw my head.<br />In the beginning dramatic music. I can hear a helicopter in the background. Spotlights going thru the crowd, so <br />as they are searching for someone. MJ Army (of Love) in front of the curtain. With the Lights at the helm they<br />will bring Light to the dark, with the cameras they will capture every move. Michael safe and hidden behind<br />the curtain. The curtain goes up. We see "Michael". The Lady in gold starts to dance and lift her mask. A fool jumps in the picture. Michael goes downstairs. With one handgesture the castle falls to ashes.Michael is dancing with the checkfigures. The checkfigures leaving the stage. Out of nowhere for dark mens<br />appear. The dancing they do reminds me rather of some sort nina fightpositions than as a dance routine.<br />As the lady appears the mens dissappear. The lady is wearing a red and golden costume. Red the colour of <br />passion and love. Gold the colour for royality. Her face is hidden behind a mask. (Maybe she represents the Fans?) She is dancing than leaving the stage. At 2.37 I hear a telefon ring in the background.<br />Michael is dancing in a bright light in the round, behind him fireworks. Dancing with the checkfigures again. Castle is back.A Angel crosses twice the Sence.<br /><br /><br />Now I come to my second point. I never believed that Front or TS/Ts_comments is Michael, but with<br />"BACK" or "SOTT" (sitting on the toilett) yep that is another story.<br /><br />Here is a poem SOTT did write on 11 November 2002<br /><br /> Long time no update?<br />It has been a long time my friends<br />But the time has been well spent<br />Just like I promised you.<br />Today I write to you from France, a little something new<br />One of my final riddles, I bring to you<br />The time is near, so take your seat<br />The curtains are about to draw<br />In England, France and Germany<br />The discussions are now complete<br />Like my momma told me, evil will subside<br />Darkest moments will pass when heaven comes alive<br />Heaven can no longer wait, for it has arrived<br />The angels have arrived<br />In secrets only fat friends could trust, the man vowed an angel came to me<br />In decades that were ever so just, lies were said to become the truth<br />Never did I realize, the angels would arrive so soon<br />A year has passed, longer have become the days<br />But open cells have shed light in darkened hallways<br />That which burns inside the heart, drives the hand<br />They said guilty feet would never dance again<br />Correlations so correct, errors in allocation so grand<br />Although this dance is about to end, another is about to begin<br />For like the man told you, the dance is eternal.<br />Guilty suits only now understand,<br />That guilty hands can never clasp golden sands<br />The dance is eternal.<br />Do you understand? There is still fire inside the man<br />Burning castles have come down<br />Look inside, a man is standing there<br />Strangers will soon become friends<br />Shadows of darkened cells are to reveal<br />Empty closets, dangling chimes, a black knight<br />A man dancing in a brightened light<br />He is invincible, but do you recognize his face?<br />Perhaps even you have been fooled.<br />For your hands contain falsities.<br />Walk with him and just try to touch his hand<br />Don’t ask any questions and don’t try to understand<br />For those who believe, all will be seen<br />The curtain is about to draw<br />So please take your seat<br />The man that you are looking for, you will find him there<br />In the ashes<br />For here lies the promised plan<br />The fever that burns inside the man<br />He is ready to dance, on burned floors, in the round<br />The man will dance the eternal dance,<br />Although you may not recognize him this time<br />But his clothes are enough, his movements you can trust<br />The man under the hat, who will never reveal himself<br />Will dance to make you believe, that once again, he is real.<br />Remember, what I have told you.<br />The cell is open.<br />The angels have arrived.<br />The show is about to begin.<br />Trust in me,<br />France, Germany and the UK are done.<br />Just like I promised you.<br /><br />Either I am complety crazy and you can put me in a straightjacket and bring me direct to the nutshouse, because to me this poem has a lot of the things in we did see in the performance.<br /><br />Okay Michael you are the winner and I am checkmate. :icon_lol: The Album Xscape is No. 1 in France and the<br />UK, in Germany it is No. 2. Source: Wikipedia.<br /><br />Much Peace and Love to everyone.<br /><br />Off-Topic: Forum is damm slow today, always freezing<br /><br />
I do not believe this poem was about the hologram honestly. No clue what it was about but if I had to guess it is something we have not seen yet. <br /><br />
"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."

<br /><br />Hey Souza, could be it was about something else, but I find it kinda odd that so many things are matching. May be it is only a part of the riddle. I am just curious what will happen next.<br /><br />

<br /><br />exactly, that little jerk of his body has 'TUDE' all over it. i'm back, i'm STILL BAD,....now what?
for anyone that know about holograms & cgi's would either cause a reflection on the floor. i could see the reflection of his & the dancers feet? at one point also his jacket.
Same here - I suppose the impersonator could actually have been there and it may not have been a hologram/GGI effect at all - I would love to believe it could have been MJ himself though.
