他说自己比其他童星幸运的是,他天生便喜欢音乐,并不是被逼着干自己所不喜欢的事;唱歌对他来说就像呼吸一样简单。
这是迈克尔·杰克逊生前最喜欢的杰克逊五兄弟时期的歌曲之一,玛丽亚·凯莉也于杰克逊的悼念仪式上翻唱了这首歌。

M.J: A Meteor of Music 用音符擦亮夜空的流星
是他,把慈善当成是第二职业;是他,把黑人布鲁斯和白人摇滚融为一体,并赋予了音乐丰富的肢体语言。他的音乐生涯所产生的热度,就像一颗绕过地球的巨型流星;他一人开创了多项记录,缔造了一场音乐的盛宴,让全世界的人都一同见证了这一奇观。
M.J.’s Early DaysMJ的早年生涯
1)Barry Gordie’s Assistant: My gosh! That’s pretty special, ’cause this little tiny boy was singing with all the soul and passion of a 35-year-old man.
A black group shattering mainstream barriers and a little boy, the 2)obsessive force driving it all.
Barry Gordie’s Assistant: His brothers might be outside, you know, playing basketball, but he’d be watching the producers mix a record or asking Barry Gordie 1001 questions about producing and about the business and about why this, why that?
Gordie: And then I realized that he was studying me. Later I realized, of course, he’d not only studied me but he studied everybody, from 3)Walt Disney, Marcel Marceau, James Brown, Jackie Wilson, you know, all these people he was really studying.
贝里·戈迪的助理:我的天啊!那真的很特别,因为这个小不点儿唱歌所投入的感情和热忱活像一个35岁的男人。
一个黑人组合冲破了音乐主流的边界,一个小男孩,以一股令人着迷的力量推动着这一切的发生。
贝里·戈迪的助理:你知道,他的哥哥们也许就在外头打篮球,而他则在观察制作人对音乐专辑进行混音,或向贝里·戈迪问无数个关于制作上或和这行业有关的问题,问这问那的。
戈迪:然后我意识到他在向我学习。当然,后来我也意识到,他不单只是学我,他还学华特·迪斯尼、马塞尔·马索、詹姆士·布朗、杰基·威尔逊,你也知道,所有的这些人都成了他的学习对象。
The 4)Jackie Robinson of MTV MTV史上第一位黑人歌手
Among his many other 5)accolades, Michael Jackson would be called “The Jackie Robinson of MTV,” the man whose video for “Billy Jean” opened the door for so many other African-American performers to get 6)big-time air time on the channel.
Music Producer: Michael Jackson helped invent the idea of music as a very visual media.
Those big-budget videos that launched the careers and set the personas of artists from Madonna to 7)Diddy to Britney; Michael made all that possible by dropping half a million on “Thriller.”
与其他美誉并称,迈克尔·杰克逊还被誉为“音乐电视的杰基·鲁滨逊”,他的《比莉·吉恩》音乐录像为众多非裔美国艺人进入音乐频道的黄金时段开启了大门。
音乐制作人:把音乐变为一种视觉效果很强的媒介,迈克尔·杰克逊促使这一理念成为现实。
那些高投入的音乐录像成功塑造了麦当娜、吹牛老爹、布兰妮等人的艺人形象并使得他们的演艺事业展翅腾飞;这全凭迈克尔创先河斥资50万(美元)拍摄《颤栗》。
His Unique Dancing独特的舞步
Where did it come from? The steps unlike anything ever witnessed.
Debbie Allen (Dance Choreographer): There’s an expression about trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Whenever you saw Michael Jackson on stage, that’s what it was like. It was like that thunderstorm that came out lightnin’ an’ thunderin’ power, and then it would all calm down, and then you could see better, and then he was smooth and quiet like the gentle rain. He was all of that. He was a force of nature.
这从何而来?这种舞步前所未见。
黛比·艾伦(舞蹈编导):这种表现就像是在尝试把闪电装进瓶子里。无论你何时见到舞台上的迈克尔·杰克逊,你都可以感受到这一点。那就像是一场带着电闪雷鸣的雷暴,转眼又风平浪静,然后你会看得更清楚,他那流畅悄然的动作又像是茸茸细雨。他把这一切都集于一身。他就是一股自然的力量。
B Box 口技之秘
(An interview before he died)
Even today Jackson obsesses over every word, every move, every sound.
Jackson: Hear this.
What you’re hearing is not the electric drum machine, it’s a 8)hard-wired 48-track digitally mastered human.
Jackson: What I mean, so, I’ll take that and use that as the main foundation for the track and build all the sounds around that, know what I’m sayin’?
So whatever the future, the music is still inside the man who says soon he’ll be back where he’s most at home.
Interviewer: Are you really anxious to get back on stage?
Jackson: Uuhhmm, I miss the fans. I, that’s my chance to get to really, you know, see them and feel their presence.
When you do a concert and there’s like 100,000 people out there and there’s a song that you wrote in a little hotel room somewhere and you see a sea of people singing the words all 9)in unison, holding up candles, and you’d go, “WOW!” You know, just really makes your heart happy and that’s what really make[s] you feel like everything’s OK.
(杰克逊逝世前的采访片段)
时至今天,杰克逊仍沉醉于歌中的每个字、每个动作、每个声音。
杰克逊:听听。
你现在所听到的并非电子鼓声机,而是经过48轨数码处理后的纯人声。
杰克逊:我的意思是,我将这些声音录下并用这来作为曲子的基调,并把其它声音混进去。你明白我的话吗?
因此,无论未来怎样,音乐仍在他的心中,他说很快就会回归舞台,那个令他最有“家”的感觉的地方。
采访者:你非常渴望重回舞台吗?
杰克逊:嗯,我想念我的歌迷。是的,我,那是我真正能够看到他们并感觉他们存在的机会。
当你的演唱会上有千千万万的群众,那排山倒海的人群高举着蜡烛,齐声地唱着你在某个小酒店房间里所创作的歌曲,“哇!”你也明白,那真的令人欣喜万分,并让你觉得一切都会好起来的。
