REVEALED: JACKSON'S LAST WORDS
Jackson believed his new show was 'the dream'
Sunday November 1,2009
By Mike Parker
MICHAEL Jackson’s film crew have revealed his last words to them less than 24 hours before his death.
Kenny Ortega, producer and director of This Is
It, which was released last week, said: “The night before he died we
had completed all of the physicality of the show as it would have been
staged at the O2.
“Michael
stood out at the front of the stage that night with me and looked out
into the empty arena and said, ‘This is the dream. We did it good,
Kenny. We did it’.
“There
was this feeling in the air, and in our minds we were already on the
plane. Michael said, ‘You can feel London. You can smell it’.”
As
Jackson hopped on board a golf cart that took him to his waiting car
after each rehearsal, he turned to associate producer and choreographer
Travis Payne. “I shouted ‘I love you’ to him,” said Payne. “He smiled
back and said ‘I love you more’.
“That
was the last time I saw him – the last time any of us saw him.” Less
than 18 hours later, Jackson lay dead after an overdose of the
anaesthetic Propofol and the dream of one of the most spectacular
comebacks in music history died with him.
The
Sunday Express can reveal that Jackson and his team had lined up a
series of show-stopping events and special guest stars for his 50
London performances.
Approaches
had been made to Mick Jagger, Bono and Lady Gaga and special effects
stunts were to include a Jumbotron screen 3D “experience”.
Details
of the spectacular emerged last week as This Is It, the movie compiled
from more than 100 hours of rehearsal footage, registered box office
takings of £12million worldwide in its first day. Fans have staged
protests, including one outside last week’s celebrity premiere at Los
Angeles’s Nokia Theatre, claiming Jackson had been “pushed beyond his
limit” by tour promoters AEG. But Ortega insisted the star was
“bursting to go” at his final rehearsal.
“I was watching Michael come back to life during a
period when he’d been really beaten down,” he said. “He wasn’t looking
for validation or to prove anything.
“I
was in his dressing room and I said, ‘I can’t wait for the curtain to
draw back. You’re going to get the validation you deserve and that
people tried to rob from you’. He just laughed and said, ‘You’re so
funny’. What he was really saying was that the only thing that
motivated him was the music and dance routines.”
Weeks
earlier, Jackson had telephoned Ortega at 3am. “He said, ‘Victoria
Falls’. I mumbled, half-asleep, ‘That’s in Africa’. Then he said he
wanted Victoria Falls on a big screen worked into his London set.
“Michael
wanted the world up there on that stage with him, in 3D. He wanted to
hand out 3D glasses to members of the audience and said to me, ‘Imagine
all those people putting on their glasses at the same time to watch
Victoria Falls behind me’.”
Music
director Michael Bearden said: “Michael wanted to fix everything. He
stopped one routine because he heard a single wrong note. Nobody else
did, but he said, ‘Trust me. It’s wrong. Listen to my original record’.
Jackson’s
dancers also said he was in an ebullient mood. Devin Jamiesen said: “He
couldn’t stand still. He just kept moving, trying out new things. You
could tell he was amped up.”

Re: REVEALED: JACKSON'S LAST WORDS
So we have several "last words" LOL burn that paper it's worth burning.
Good to know that he didn't say them yet.
I would bet on "I love you more".
Going to see the movie again - love it and love you Michael.
You rock!

Re: REVEALED: JACKSON'S LAST WORDS
last words before he faked his death
I really don't know what to believe anymore about Kenny.. Some people say Kenny was not nice to Michael and the show was not done. So I don't know...

Re: REVEALED: JACKSON'S LAST WORDS
Kenny dodged the "D" words (dead and died) for weeks leading up the TII.
Now he sprinkles them everywhere.
What's up with that?

You guys have any idea where and when he will do his comeback?

I know Human_nature. This would be strange if it were true.
(Questioning everything - because Kenny is cited does not mean he said it or he transferred this to the tabloid. We all know how they twist and invent things.)
So if it were true that Michael said this, he felt he had accomplished everything to be ready. Which would contradict the many utterances that nothing was ready at all.
And Kenny speaking about the curtain - where's a curtain: in theaters and movie theaters. Not in arenas with live shows.
This means to me that they were clear to produce a movie.
And that Michael did NOT want the "validation" back in an egocentric meaning as if he wanted and needed to be celebrated but judged Kenny funny to say such things.
Michael is a wise man and he wants the focus not on himself but on the matter he wants to draw our attention to.
Just my speculations as I doubt what the tabloids write has anything to do with reality.
