This is what Neverland looks like now.
But it's nothing like the fairy tale that Michael Jackson had planned.
Now it's all gone.
The ferris wheel merry go round, bumper cars all removed.
It evolved into a home of alleged abuse
and became a financial nightmare.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
I thank the fans around the world and the fans in Japan.
I love you more.
To all the people that believe in me and I believe in you
and I love you very much.
Thank you so, so much.
Thank you.
This is a dream come true.
Hi
Hello
How are you?
Good
And so are you. Hi
Alright come on in.
How many can we?
Yeah
How was it?
So good, so sweet.
Michael Jackson met more than 160 children at a Tokyo orphanage on Sunday.
His trip to Japan is the first leg
of a six day Asian tour that includes stops in Singapore and in Hong Kong.
Please document everything.
Action, reaction, cause and effect from them to me, from me to them.
I think he's retired.
Retired? Because he has no more CDs, no more music.
I saw him with all these children around
him, but everyone seemed quite happy and still liked him, I think.
But maybe in the US they wouldn't like him so
much because they think he's a child molesterer.
I think it has much meaning because he choose the Japan
to show him just after that kind of cases
I'm very happy to be in Japan and I think you're just wonderful, lovely people.
I mean it. And thank you for accepting me.
I want that Darth Vader
I don't care who he is.
I want some comics, yeah?
I don't care if Michael Jackson's here.
I want to go downstairs and get my comics
It was summer 2006, and Jackson's nomadic
existence had him house hunting, or rather castle hunting on the emerald isle.
Jackson was also looking for a creative spark for some new songs,
trying to catch up to a music industry that had left him behind.
Michael invited me to Ireland to observe him as he got back into the studio.
Can lightning strike twice for the King of Pop?
This is really kind of an exploratory
mission, you deciding to get back into making music.
I never stopped.
I'm always writing potpourri of music.
You know how it is. Relaxed and ready to return.
Do you see something big with the music
that you make again or getting that groundswell going,
doing clubs and intimate things and then getting it bigger and bigger and bigger?
Gee I'm not sure.
What I think from a fan? Go ahead.
Big
Something needs to put a jolt back
in the music industry, and the only thing that can do that is the jolt itself.
Put that jolt back in that monstrosity
of entertainment and music is the one who created that.
And we also,
we've got a whole set out at the back for you.
This means alot.
The best selling album of all time.
But he probably felt a love for 'Thriller', but also this kind of like oh-
People just do not buy music in the same way they did back in the 80s.
you started recording new material then?
Yes.
How's it going so far?
Excellent.
Is the King of Pop back?
What?
Is the King of Pop back?
Yes!
Tonight we are celebrating 25 years of 'Thriller'.
Give it up, y'all.
Thriller is the biggest selling album of all time.
This is exactly why we call Michael Jackson the King of Pop.
If it wasn't for Michael Jackson,
I would never have ever performed. Michael Jackson.
I love you.
We all love you.
I want you to give it up for the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
Congratulations on winning the World Music Award Diamond Award.
To the World Music Awards
Ladies and gentlemen, I am greatly humbled by this award
and there have been so many who have loved me and stood by me.
And I love you Beyonce.
So blessed to be able to present this person.
Who is a god. God bless him.
For the first time in several years,
Michael Jackson
This morning at 01:45AM
Mr James Brown passed away.
What brings you down here today?
James Brown.
Yeah.
What did he mean to you? Everything.
He was my greatest inspiration.
I miss him very much.
Did you get all your dance moves
from him or some of them?
A great deal of them
I loved him.
Ever since I was a small child,
no more than like six years old, my mother would wake me
no matter what time it was, I was sleeping.
No matter what I was doing.
To watch the television, to see the master at work.
And when I saw him move, I was mesmerized.
I've never seen a performer perform like James Brown
and right then and there,
I knew that that was exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
Because of James Brown.
