Video - Michael Jackson’s Children Make Appearance at Tribute Concert in Wales

Michael Jackson's Children

Yesterday was a historic day in Wales.

In an effort to keep Michael Jackson’s legacy alive and remove his Children from the current state side trial of Dr. Conrad Murray taking place back in the United States, a tribute concert was held yesterday in Cardiff Wales.

It was held at the Millennium Stadium and billed as “The Michael Forever Tribute”.

But because it was a Jackson family event it was, of course, surrounded by controversy.

One of the headline bands, “The Black Eyed Peas”, bowed out at the last minute leaving event organizers scrambling for a replacement act.

Others complained that the event should have been held in the United States so MJ's U.S. fans could have taken part in the celebration.

But at the end of the day it did what it was supposed to do – remember Michael Jackson.

Some of the acts that showed up to perform were NeYo, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Alexandra Burke, Gladys Knight, The Jackson Brothers, Jennifer Hudson, Latoya Jackson, Leona Lewis, Smokey Robinson, and Beyonce who made an appearance via satellite.

Prince, Blanket, and Paris Jackson

The highlight of the evening was when Jackson’s three children Prince, Paris, and Blanket took to the stage for their first public appearance since their father’s death.

In fact, Blanket actually spoke to the sold out crowd of 50,000, and it was the first time most people had ever heard the young man’s voice.

The kids thanked everyone for coming and then introduced Beyonce.



The kids, whose real names are Prince Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., Prince Michael Jackson II (Blanket), and Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson were met with thunderous applause and cheers from the crowd.

Another high point was when Christina Aguilera got up to belt out “Smile”. Judging by the crowd’s reaction it was probably the best performance of the night.



As the concert went one, it marked week two of the death trial of Michael back in the United States.

Prosecutors are currently unveiling their case in chief against Dr. Conrad Murray who is accused of killing Jackson with a deadly dose of the drug Propofol.

Dr. Conrad Murry in Court

Wow.

Yesterday kicked of the Conrad Murray murder trial. Murray is accused of killing Michael Jackson with an overdose of the drug Propofol in 2009.

The proceedings yesterday included the opening statements by both the prosecution and defense teams and the battle lines have clearly been drawn.

The prosecution says Dr. Conrad Murray killed Jackson and the defense says Jackson killed himself by self-administering the Propofol on top of a terrible Demerol addiction.



There were a few bombshell moments during the proceedings yesterday such as the following photo of Michael Jackson lying dead on a hospital gurney at the morgue.

Michael Jackson Dead at the Hospital

That really set the stage for the day, but another piece of evidence was presented by the prosecution that actually seemed to play into the hands of the defense.

They played an audio tape of Jackson the first day Murray took over as his Doctor showing the singer slurring his speech in what is clearly some type of drug induced stupor.



Some felt Dr. Murray recorded Jackson to document the “current state” that he found Michael, and others felt there were more nefarious motives.

Regardless, this case is truly going to be the trial of the century.

If anything it is shedding fascinating insight on the process of producing a huge concert tour with a huge World famous artist who is deeply troubled and addicted to drugs.

Aaron Carter: “Michael Jackson and I Drank Wine and Did Cocaine When I Was only 15”

On the two year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death, shocking new revelations have surfaced regarding his behavior around young boys.

It all unfolded in an interview with Ok! Magazine and now 23-year-old Aaron Carter – the younger brother of “Backstreet Boys” Nick Carter.

Aaron told interviewer Daphne Barak,

"I never talked about it, this is the first time. I do miss Michael - I have spent such incredible times with him. I did things with him that nobody else did but I was also troubled about what he did to me."

Aaron went on to tell of some of their most intimate moments, and about the times Michael gave him drugs and alcohol saying,

"I never talked about it… This is the first time. I do… I miss Michael… I have spent such incredible times with him. I did things with him that nobody else did… But I was also troubled about what he did to me."

While only 15-years-old, Aaron talks about spending hours and hours on the phone with Jackson saying they talked about everything you could imagine.

Michael and Aaron would spend several days at a time at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch working in the studio making music, and then watching movies for hours inside the main house.

"Yes, he gave me wine. I mean, I could have refused, but I was 15. And he gave me cocaine. I felt weird about that and other stuff. I admired Michael, but his behavior bothered me a lot. Then my mother called the police…"

Are you kidding me?

Aaron Carter at 15

While the entire article is only available in the news stand version of the magazine, it seems that this teaser info given on their web site is a bomb shell.

While no time table is discussed, if Aaron’s Mother contacted police about Michael giving her 15-year-old son drugs and alcohol perhaps they were one of the “mystery” accusers that never appeared in public during Jackson’s child molestation case in 2005.

Aaron would have been 16-years-old at the time of the trial.

Perhaps Aaron will be just another young celebrity, like Macaulay Culkin, who will go to their grave without sharing what really happened behind closed doors.

Since Jackson’s death in 2009, we may never truly understand the bizarre world he lived in or the strange activities that took place at Neverland.

For Aaron’s part, we know that since his teen years he has dated and been connected to actresses Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes and Adrianne Curry.

He was also briefly engaged to Playboy model Kari Ann Peniche in 2006 but called it off shortly after the announcement saying he had acted prematurely.

Aaron’s last public appearance with Michael Jackson was after the 9/11 attacks when he worked on Jackson’s charity tune “What More Can I Give?”

Unfortunately, Sony Music refused to release the song and the project never moved forward.

However, always one to be skeptic, we can’t help but disclose that Aaron has a new album coming out this year – his first since 2002.

We would hate to think this “leak” of information could in anyway be connected to drumming up hype for a career that stalled out almost ten years ago….

But then again, anything is possible out of Hollywood.

Video - Greyson Chance Covers Michael Jackson and Releases New Album Details

Move over Justin Bieber – there’s a new kid on the block.

13-Year-Old Greyson Chance stormed the world after being discovered on YouTube playing Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” and has quickly turned into a rising star.

Of course the inevitable comparisons to Bieber are to be expected, but Greyson is a lot more “rock” with a little pop, where Bieber is nothing but “pop” and very little rock.

As it turns out, Ellen DeGeneres took young Greyson under her wing and is producing his album and managing his career after creating her “eleveneleven” record company and signing Greyson as her first artist.

Now, after his two hit singles “Waiting Outside The Lines” and “Unfriend You”, he is preparing his first full length album due this August.

As a tease, Chance released the cover art for the highly anticipated album titled “Hold On ‘Til Night”.

Greyson Chance's New Album Cover

Greyson says it’s not just art and there is meaning to it saying,

“The album cover is not just about art – it’s mainly about words. Words mean everything in this world and can both help and hurt people. The words on the piano, and all over the cover, are happy words, positive words. I like to think of my music as a way to convey positive words to the entire world.”

Okay, maybe a little deep coming from the mind of a 13-year-old but we definitely get the idea.



Greyson credits Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson as his two main influences because they have amazing music and are (were) not afraid to be who they wanted to be regardless of who the world felt they should be.

In a tribute to Jackson’s two year anniversary since his tragic death, Chance covered one of his favorite Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5's song “I Wanna Be Where You Are.”

And if Greyson wasn’t busy enough, he is currently traveling around North America with his friend and tour mate Cody Simpson on their “Waiting 4 You” tour.

Greyson also has his own professional web site at Greyson-official.com and YouTube Channel that already has over 67 million views.

Keep your eye on this kid, he’s going to be a star.

The King of Pop Leaves the Stage

There was a big shock for me on last Thursday, when I heard the news of Jackson sudden died.
Sadden because he was so young, because he led such a lonely, isolated life, and because he wasn't able to allow anyone close enough to him who could help him make better decisions about his life.

Michael Jackson was more than an icon he was an inspiration to all. No matter if that person was young or old. He is my inspiration because no matter how bumpy the road got or how times seemed to pull him down he just stayed himself and continued doing what he was doing.


I adored Michael Jackson because of that and it shows me that i shouldn't let anything or anybody get me or keep me down.

Thank you so much for the music you have shared to the world and to me. You'll always be in our memories for as long as we all shall live. LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP!!!!!!!!!
