“Jackson has just about everything you would want in a dancer. He is very fast, and, now that the adult musculature has come in, his whole body is ‘worked’, this means that every muscle is stretched, and operating in the service of the dance. Nothing is blurred. As a result, he has a sharp attack, and wonderful clarity. Watch him for example, in ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’ dancing, silhouetted, alongside other men doing the same steps. You can’t see the faces, but you know which one he is. He dives into a step more intently, and shows it to us more precisely, than anyone else.” Joan Acocella - The New Yorker
On Michael Jackson, the dancer.

Michael Jackson writing on an Elvis figurine at Neverland:
“If I can only find a white man, with a black man’s sound, I could make a million dollars.” - Sam Phillips, Sun Record
(Sam Phillips is responsible for launching Elvis’s career, and would famously tell people at his record label that quote before discovering Elvis) -

Why the Bad Tour is not yet on DVD is beyond my understanding. Here’s hoping that for the 25th Anniversary of Bad, the MJ estate will make it happen.
