I recall the televised interview that oprah did with michael at his neverland ranch saying that his father joseph was a strict disciplined person and a perfectionist which is tough. I feel that joseph is at fault for why michael didnt have a childhood because he and his brothers had to practice and record for hours until its time for bed. If joseph hadnt worked them like a dog then michael would still have a childhood
My favourite song by Patti and my favourite of all time,although until I heard her version,I never really liked the song that much,until I first heard this a few years ago,and since then it’s my “go to” listen time and time again🙂👍
Patti was always good at duets! Her most famous duet is "Baby, Come to Me" with James Ingram! An incredible singer she is! Cleve is good too! Too bad he didn't get the attention he deserved!
Michael may have spoken about certain aspects of his life, but he internalized it in a way where he didn't get out, so that it could be processed. He kept it subconsciously suppressed, that is the minds way of protecting us from painful memories. So, you see: he never dealt with it! Had he known how to deal with it,he probably would have healed from those psychological traumas! I will he had could have had some kind of mental health intervention. I believe with mental health therapy: he could have learned to slowly discover,and get to see a wider picture of what he was going through, and with the help of a mental health expert: he could have embraced his emotional turmoil, and possibly find a way to put it all in perspective. Instead,he turned all of this bitterness inwardly not knowing it consciously. It is just like sweeping dust under the rug: the more you sweep it under there, the bigger the hump is going to get. When you start removing the dust,then you are fixing the issue. Mental health issues are very complicated, and consist of many multifaceted components that an individual within themselves are not able to deal with. Getting mental health treatment by trained professionals in this field allows for an individual to better understand what are a lot of the issues that are going on in their psyche. The Science of Mental Health has made significant strides in the advancement in their knowledge of mental health issues, and are more better equipped to help more people who suffers from mental illnesses. These advances have grown by leaps and bounds in just say the last ten years. The consensus in the mental health field is that 80%, of persons seeking mental health intervention can be effectively treated with maybe therapy (talking to a therapist, psychologist, counselor), and also with medications. As far as the other 20%, who doesn't respond as well to mental health treatment: the goal is to make them as comfortable as possible! If you are someone who is going through insurmountable psychological turmoil: help is available. I don't have the toll free number to any of the many mental health agencies at hand right now, but you can always google for your local mental health establishment,or national. God bless!
I was your male backup tenor in 1989 at Carnegie Hall. We rehearsed in Leonard Bernsteins apartment (The Dakota) in NYC. You were amazing then and you’re amazing now. What a gift God gave you. Greg
There are people that sing professionally, and then there are singers. She has an amazing arrangers ear and singers it to the nth degree. I got to meet her.
Joy Behar doesn’t know how permanent makeup works? MJ didn’t want to have to put that on everyday. Without the eyeliner & the pigment in his lips he would look very weird because of the stark white of the vitiligo. The advantage of permanent make up is that it doesn’t sweat off when he’s performing.
I remember this song and I have always loved it. I saw your tweet this morning to Darius Rucker and saw your RU-vid link on your Twitter page. You have a great voice and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Patti has always nailed every song that she has sung through her career!
Patti was scheduled to fly United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001, from Boston to San Francisco. However, she had to change the flight to a day earlier because her mother had a stroke. Therefore, she was moved from performing the second night of the Michael Jackson 30th Tribute Concert in New York City, to the first night. Damn thats crazy!
