Michael Jackson mania hits Theatre Royal as he leaves after watching Oliver in Drury Lane, London 

How many people would wait to see just a 1 second glimpse of their idol for over two hours? Wow, the world will never experience that kind of love again and I don't care if anyone wants to continue making up lies about him, no one will ever stop me loving this man and his memory. I will always miss you MJ.

Watched a 10minute video to see 2seconds of Michael....WORTH IT!!!!!!

"we are ready michael whenever you are" awwww..such sweet fans

Even the officer on horseback cannot help himself and turns to catch a glimpse of Michael as he passes through...

And that's why he wore sunglasses....at night. THE photography flashes were enough to blind someone! Of course, it didn't hurt that he looked gorgeous in them. ;-)

I am so proud of Michael. He started at 5 y/o, and even at 50y/o he still drives them crazy. Before he even gets on stage, he breaks records in ticket sales. It's truly amazing.

I think his fans are truly wonderful. Hanging around, in the cold weather just to catch a tiny glimpse of the Master. MJ for ever.

Michael Jackson has billions of fans all over the world XXX

Michaelmania, Jacksonmania... however you call it - it's pure hysteria... he still can make people go nuts!

And here we are doing the same thing waiting 9.62 minutes to see MJ coming out of that door. What does that tell us. LOL Yeah everybody loved MJ, only the ones that could not deal with his stardom and uniqueness did not. Love him always

Michael was NEVER a has been that's what the US media wanted but all his fans around the world always stood by him with love and support.....we your true fans will love you forever Michael...we miss you :"(

Even at 50 years old , he was still mobbed like crazy .

"This side loves you" lol and "We're ready Michael, whenever you are." haha

He was such a heavenly human being and yet vile people are still set to destroy his memory, what a shame. He was indeed the best entertainer the world will ever see. RIP MJ xxx

Michael could never find peace and privacy

These people are going nuts just catching a glimpse of him, just imagine how insane they will be when he hits the stage! No other person in history has maintained the level of mass histeria that MJ has! He's truly a larger than life ENIGMA!

Awesome , they are ready to wait hours for just a moment of seeing Angel. God bless you Michael Jackson, i hope you’re still with us alive and enjoying your peace life with your loved ones. We love you good and we love you bad❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

He must had that evey day he goes out

4. However, even off stage, MJ caused some form of hysteria amongst whatever crowd size had spotted him; from kids to teenagers, to mature adults - he was instantly recognisable in every corner of the world. To be honest, I find that quite scary in a way!?! Though I didn’t like every single song - I just thought he had a beautiful voice - soothing in ballads & a great mover. However, it was his Humanitarianism & messages of Love & Peace v the way he was treated, which really got to me.

this is insane loved u man so much

Michael shows up at 9:37

Yeah and the media wanted to say that people had forgotten him and didn't care about him anymore. What BS. Michael was still loved by a great many people up until the day he died. The media should be kicking themselves because they are partially to blame for Michael's death. If they just would have left him alone. He just wanted to make music and make people happy and yet the media wanted to make his life a living hell. The jokes on them, Michael's in Heaven.

Incredible. The man and this amazing scene. Sure people may say he was the kiddie fiddler on the roof, but who's listening? What this man leaves behind is infinitely greater and more enduring that any of that shit. He never, ever lost it.

Actually, a horse is a legitimate way to deal with crowd control. The policeman can stand above everybody and get the crowds attention while also reducing risk of himself getting hurt plus the horse is clearly trained to deal with situations such as these by the mans threats to pull the horse into the crowd.

I REALLY MISS MICHAEL JACKSON SO MUCH

@Logicallyrare MJ is MORE successful than any other solo artist !not even Elvis ,u can't even compare him to MJ. and MJ sold MORE FAAR than Elvis ,if u don't know Elvis was not able to sell more than 80 Million record outside U.S at his time . Michael is the biggest solo artist of all time in his life , and with only 10 albums sold MORE than 750 Million recored worldwide ,also don't forget how many albums Elvis has, more than 60 Album,but he couldn't sell as much as MJ did in his live .

lol no, that's what it's like to be as famous as Michael jackson. Most celebrities don't have to go through anything quite that bad although they get hassled.

wait 30 minutes in the freezing rain ,just to see 2 sec of a Michael Jackson .Well worth it

the look on the fans’ faces when they saw Michael 😭😍💖🙏🏻🫶🏻👑

Reminds me out Titanic when they scream move back move back

Shocking".how can one man be this powerful..he was super natural....

The King of Pop!!!🇧🇷

@Logicallyrare Elvis popularity went to the sky after he died, when Michael has been gone as long as Elvis, then it would be innteresting to count records between them. No one has been so famous as Michael when they was alive, maybe that would bring him infront of Elvis in the future. And i would say its hard to compare record sailes today, when Elvis was around, people had to buy records but now many download it from internett, looks at utube and so one.

Michael we love you....🥰🥰🥰

Michael Jackson is our angel...We love you so much umwahhhh 😘😍

You're the best Michael!!!

Omg! Your fans loves you dearly MJ 💕💕💕

There will allways be a few a-holes but a whole world cant be wrong can it? There will never be anyone like MJ ever and that makes me very sad. I never got to see him live and i will regret that forever probably but he will live on forever through his music and his fans. R.I.P from Sweden.

Keep saying that Drake is famous you Americans...to the world this is what being famous looks like no shows but just total honest adoration of the King himself Michael jackson. Rest easy you went before your time.

To think he was alive at one point. Michael felt like a mythical god that everyone wanted to see. He just didn't seem real but he was. Poor guy...

Des star comme Michael Jackson ils a n'a plus sais le seul l'unique Michael ils ceux dès places tout now York le suivez sais mignon et magnifique voir sa i love you Michael ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

3. With this, I think it is more the “potential” of any given entertainer/s to be able to reach far & wide with whatever it is they have to offer. Regardless of how many of us are watching / listening to them, they either reach us on a personal level, or they don’t. “The sheer number of people” … well of course, MJ broke records with crowd attendance. Constant hysteria, slow crowd crush, screaming, fainting & chanting of his name - been there 3 times - I’m just not the hysterical type.

@MoonStruck95 - Ha ha! There's chaos everywhere Michael go! He was the strongest gravity on this planet ever! I don't blame the fans. I'd probably do the same thing.

when this video was uploaded, he was still alive..seems surreal now

Only with Michael Jackson :) LOVE

amazing ..

Good Lord!...

Michael now you are in heaven but alot of war everywhere.Who will stand & speak for Peace in the world?

I'm surprised at every time when I see how people go mad and screaming for about someone who they don't know at all just listended some music of him. poor man. he really had shit life.

Love the mounted police, they do a great job *respect*.

RIP MY BROTHER MICHAEL !!! :( RIP !

3. - I can think of, who appealed to the complete age spectrum. Sorry, it is not just about population numbers. You could be exposed to 6 billion people & gain a few million fans - yet, you could be exposed to just one billion & gain a few hundred million fans. Ultimately, it is about how wide a group / individual appeals to others - regardless of the number of populace they are exposed to. MJ appealed to all races, religions, backgrounds, cultures & age groups. That was my whole point!

I went to see this that night...during act two he came in 5 minutes after it started and everyone started taking photos of him while they were performing um-pa-pa...it really annoyed me!!

كم اشتقنه لك مايكل

amazing!!

this guys a legend...

I thought Navi the Play-Doh Michael Jackson was coming out first

Fama de sobra

Michael really should have lived in Ireland...that wouldn't happen over here! He would get all the privacy he wanted

woahhhhh!!! just that single walk out of michael made the cop gone hysterically..., but thanks to him,. nothing bad happen., and if will, he might get fired.hehe.

Amen.

7:20 BLOODY MICHAELLLLL

Uhhg, that kind of fame is just insane...

@Logicallyrare 1. It is not “simple” math, as you put it. You can't come to a total without the whole equation; we are talking about the worldwide popularity of a person/entertainer, and the longevity of it - from child superstar to adult megastar. Here is the other element I am trying to explain to you: You can take a mixed bag of other worldwide stars like Brittany, Madonna, Rod Stewart, & even Paul McCartney, (the latter two of whom I have in my personal music collection), as part -

Wow"

How did they even know he was in there???😂

@jkdure Yeah maybe who knows... I was talking about now, not later, but sure, it's possible.

@Logicallyrare 1. I agree that the more of this or that, can mean the more chance of that or this, but when it comes to this particular subject, anyway - I think the overall key word is, “Potential”. However, “Potential” is kind of incomplete because it only means something which is, *probable: Which has *capability: Which is *possible, & so forth; ultimately, it does not always add up to or equal, (pun intended), to any specific total regarding exposure percentages, because this kind of -

@Emily41162 True, but we should also factor in the fact that the population has increased a lot since The Beatles and Elvis.

wow he cant even get to his car just afew feet from there with out being tramped. thank god for the police and horses. so dissrespect

@Angie2106 2. The greater the population, the greater the potential number of fans an artist can get EVEN IF the average percentage of fans vs. non-fans is equal. Therefore if you're saying the percentage of fans vs. population doesn't change based on population increase, I agree, but I was talking about sheer number of people, not the percentage of people. The sheer number of people is relevant when talking physical hysteria at a venue.

im so glad i was not near that manic crowd.. go d with the painting ha

When was this? Poor Michael

That door and stuff on the outside of the theater doesn't really look like a theater to me.

Who’s here in 2024

Michael should always have a secret exits lol

@jkdure sry..1 time it looks it didnt post, and next time it come tvice.

seriously? if you don't like him then why the heck are you watching this?

Those recent allegations were a good few years ago now! And he's good friends with Mark Leicester - who played the original Oliver in the 1968 film.

LOL!! they got a HORSE in there!! hilarious.. But i guess that's necessary-they could kill him in a second! =O

@Angie2106 Of course population increase is a factor. If there are only 5 billion people on the earth the max potential for the amount of fans a person can gain is 5 billion people whereas if there are 7 billion people on the earth, the potential for the greatest amount of fans becomes 7 billion people, generally speaking the potential for popularity increases with the increase in population, it is very simple math.

@munk4sale Well if you look at record sales, The Beatles sold the most, they are the biggest selling music act of all time, Elvis comes in second making him the biggest selling solo artist of all time, then MJ comes in right after him for record sales. MJ however has the biggest selling single album of all time (which is different) and is known for his great stage and video innovations. MJ may not have been as financially successful but he's probably more famous than the others.

@Logicallyrare Elvis popularity whent to the sky after he died, When Michael has been goone as long as Elvis, then ve could count record sales to se who has sold most. No one has been so famous when they where alive as Michael, maybe hes popularity and record sales well improve more and more as the years go bye.

its probably the back door.

2. - of this math you talk of. The latter three have basically shared the same worldwide population growth figures throughout their careers - with Brittany perhaps gaining approx 2 billion more by the time she arrives on the scene. After all the math, what difference did it really make? Only *one* of those entertainers had that certain kind of reach - package - or whatever else it was, that led them to became an overall worldwide *phenomenon / household name. Also, the only artist -

@Angie2106 BTW my last 2 messages were in reply to your last 3 messages. I read all 3 of your messages before I replied with my 2 messages. I hope you got them. Let me know if you have a new reply to them. Thanks.

@Angie2106 1. I see what your saying and I'm not saying it's wrong. I am saying that the increase in population IS a factor because it increases the potential for exposure of anyone. OF COURSE if an artist is not appealing to people, no matter how many people get exposed, it won't help much for getting a large percentage of fans. However the key point here is percentage.

2024 gang button

@Angie2106 Yeah MJ is awesome. What you brought up just now is kind of off topic, but I don't disagree. I think MJ's the last mega music phenomenon like The Beatles, Elvis Presley & Frank Sinatra before him. Since then I don't think there has been 1 as big & culturally impacting as him, but they all had similar effect in their own unique ways, it is hard to say for example Elvis is better than MJ or vice-versa, when looking at all the facts. Who knows if the future holds another such phenomenon.

that is just mad.

@mjacksonnumber1 Word...

Quem era esse que só ria ?? Kkkk

@mjacksonnumber1 Cant even put MJ's name next to that bunch of people!

wt's the horse for??

2. - math is not simply about numbers - I’d be flying along if it was. When it involves our *personal taste in anything - not just artists/music, that is where the complication sets in; we are a complex species! When it comes to a subject like this, I think it is far too personal a thing to bother looking too deep into it, (Re: percentages of population v potential fans)…maybe if we were talking an extra 8 billion in population increase since when, I would probably take more note of it.

I'd like to see someone ay Michael was a joke before he died ;) Some joked about him sure.. but he always had millions and millions of ppl loving him. And now he might even have billions, love you mike

Oh my God! The guy couldn't go anywhere without being mobbed! No wonder he wore disguises all the time. That's what it's like to be famous. No thank you. Now we see what Michael had to deal with. Wow.

@mjacksonnumber1 What about The Beatles?

The police were wrong. Only experts should manage this situations... lol

A much ado about nothing, until 9:35
