Cirque Du Soleil -- Michael Jackson Immortalized
9 minutes ago by TMZ Staff
Cirque Du Soleil is unveiling the images that will drive what could be the biggest show under the big top ever -- driven by Michael Jackson's music ... and TMZ got hold of the image that will drive the production.
(http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/11/03/1103-mj-poster-ex.jpg)
The world tour is a partnership between the MJ Estate and Cirque -- each sharing 50% of the profits. It will kick off in the Fall of next year in Canada, and work its way south to the US of A.
The show will end up with a permanent home at an MGM Mirage hotel in Las Vegas -- probably in late 2012.
This project -- unlike some others -- got the thumbs up from Katherine Jackson.

Funny though that I checked the Cirque Du Soleil website right after posting the TMZ article here, and there was nothing there yet about the MJ Immortal tour. Just now I checked again and voila...there it was...finally...

hmm... the picture of MJ on the poster looks like the one from Super Bowl performance, it is not most classic pose of MJ :?
and the stadium behind... looks like "here i am, follow me and let's go" :? ... or not.... :?
-
That's a strange picture of Michael's face. I know the pose fits Michael but the face is slightly different.
Also - the word "IMMoRTAL" - eternal, "undying", everlasting, never-ending, endless.
It seems to me that they'd choose a word associated with Michael. Like Elvis - his is Viva Elvis which makes sense. Immortal conjurs in my mind the image of magic.
I just went to the Cirque De Soleil website. The picture on the front page is interesting - not sure how long it's been there but it reminds me of blue eyed Michael.
-
Apart from butterflies, someone sees something else in that picture :?:
-
hmm... the picture of MJ on the poster looks like the one from Super Bowl performance, it is not most classic pose of MJ :?
Well yes, that's pretty obvious...
Topping off a fabulous month, Michael performed at the 1993 Superbowl Halftime show on the 31st of January. The show included “Jam”, “Billie Jean”, “Black or White” and “Heal the World”, which included a 98,000 audience card stunt, and a 750 member choir. Approximately 120 million people tuned into the event; one of the largest viewing audiences in TV history.
How you're gonna top that Mike? ;) Never mind, I already know the answer! :lol:

This is a short promo on their page which was posted October 28. We are invited to log back in on November 3rd when all will be revealed.
Well, so far nothing.

This poster is perfect - and makes total sense considering that by then Michael will have already BAM'd *fingers crossed*!
(http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/11/03/110410-michael-jackson-video2-credit.jpg)
"BACK" IN ACTION , that sounds about right! ;)
-
It seems to me that they'd choose a word associated with Michael. Like Elvis - his is Viva Elvis which makes sense. Immortal conjurs in my mind the image of magic.
The first thing that triggered the Elvis connection in my mind was the intro text: "Two great forces in entertainment have combined... And in 2011, Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour kicks off in Montreal."
I'm not so sure they refer to Jamie and Chantal... ;)
LOVE,
Andy
-
THIS IS SO EXCITING!!! My heart is racing haha I don't know why but I can just FEEL it. I think we are almost there...
-
Also - the word "IMMoRTAL" - eternal, "undying", everlasting, never-ending, endless.
The design is interesting as well. Why is "the" put on the "O" and not on "R" for example, or on the "-OR-" to be exactly in the middle of the word? Could it bear any message?
The first could be THEO, a given name deriving from the Greek word Theos which means GOD.
"THE O", where O could be the initial of Origin, Oxygen, O2 etc, or even zero - as in Year Zero (ARG)...
Anyway, "immortal" and "the legend lives on" are no coincidences whatsoever.
LOVE,
Andy

Something is weird with that poster. The body seems his, the head looks different. I would love to see a HR image of this.

Well Cirque just absolutely confirmed my belief all along that This Is It was the rehearsal for this IMMORTAL WORLD TOUR. During the outtakes, as mentioned here on the forum earlier, it was said "it might as well have been Cirque du Soleil there" and of course a couple of aerialists from Cirque were in the outtakes and some of the props were shown during the instrumental of Who Is It in This Is It with the fire scenes. We all tried to figure out what the heck was going on during Earth Song's ending footage in the movie with the 3D audience and fake tractor image and cardboard Michael, etc. :lol: :lol: I'm fully convinced now that what we were looking at was a "sketch" from the Cirque Show because that scene in the movie looks just like this one!....complete with MJ's Army, his soldiers of love....
-
Every time I play a video on TMZ, such as the 'Back in Action' Cirque video, the ad right before the video starts is a Sony ad. Anybody else get that? Just curious, since apparently there are no coincidences, what that might mean.
-

It does seem strange, indeed. Moreover, the text design has a peculiar trait. If you can notice, the "I" in MICHAEL and the "N" in JACKSON are different than the other letters. Moreover, they are the only letters that are glued, merged with a neighboring letter. If we put the glued letters together we get ICON... :?:
LOVE,
Andy

The face doesn't look like Mike at all I don't think. I didn't really look close enough at first.

Nevertheless, this is not a Michael's head
-
I thought the exact same thing! It doesn`t look like him at all to me. Of course, like was said before, the stance is right, but his face is not.

Yay someone mentioned him before me! :lol: I love Mr. Dove. As soon as I saw the dove, I thought of him.
-
i dont think michael will be performing at this event. And that face doesn't even look like michael :?
-
Did anyone else notice there is only ONE performance in each city, some of which are within an hour of each other (San Jose and Oakland, fi). That's not typical of Cirque. But it WOULD allow for an 'older' Michael to rest between performances.
-
He's bamming soon 2011 will be the return there the deal is sealed let's wait it out and yes more clue clues and clues :lol: Mike :)

Did anyone buy tickets yet? I DID!!!!! I'm so excited! I love Cirque du Soleil and even if MJ isn't there and it's only a hologram or something, just the fact that it has HIS music makes it all the more special! :-)
I'm in Vancouver but that show is on a night when I can't go. So I am going to the one in Seattle on Nov 9th.... 3 days before my 40th birthday! Yep I bought myself my own birthday gift already! hahaha
4th row VIP package! Woo hoo!
I always feel a twinge of guilt when I spend money on shows like this because part of me says who could I have helped with this money? So I am committing to putting more money towards charities this next year and giving of my time (which I would have done even if I didn't get the tickets)
So who else got tickets?

Something is weird with that poster. The body seems his, the head looks different. I would love to see a HR image of this.
That's because I think it's a good drawing and not a photo literarily.
I still don't know what to say about this....... I might be in a bad (psychologically) period but to me this sounds not more and not less than a tribute to him as it is done for a lot of big artists that are gone literarily. As I expected, just holograms probably or projections.
I really don't know....

Lil Wendy....thanks for sharing that pic....you're right...it does look more like this one than Blue Eye....another interesting thing that came across my brain when I saw it was that it reminded me of the vitiligo....I hope that doesn't sound too strange...I mean no disrespect to Michael whatsoever...I often wonder about the Big Picture reason that Michael developed the disease...I've come to believe that perhaps God literally wanted him to change color so that he could relate to EVERY race/color/creed in the world while promoting God's message of Love and Peace....of course, the closed and small minded of the world could only see the negative in it and accused him of being ashamed of being black...my feeling is that Michael was very proud of being a Black American, but I think he himself was blind to "color"....I think this also applies to his androgynous looks as well....he was not limited to the norm for a male...I believe God intended him to become all things to all people in His name....just my two cents!
Also want to take this opportunity, Wendy, to let you know just how much I've always enjoyed your writings and insight....I think you are brilliant!

No disrespect to Michael; I too thought about Michael's struggle with vitiligo when I first saw this picture.
I agree with Michael..."it doesn't really matter if you're black or white..." I absolutely
L.O.V.E. this artwork! MJ looks stunningly beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

And now, the legend continues as Cirque du Soleil and the Estate of Michael Jackson have joined forces to create Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour...

Le spectacle sonde l’âme de Michael Jackson et nous transmet son amour de la musique, de la danse, des contes de fées, de la magie et de la fragile beauté de la nature.
Fermement ancré dans l’œuvre musicale puissante et inspirante de Michael Jackson – le véritable moteur du spectacle –, THE IMMORTAL World Tour évoque la puissance et l’intensité émotionnelle extraordinaires de ses performances live, portant sur scène son message d’amour, de paix et d’unité.
It will be an exciting experience - too bad the tour does not start in our region and that prices are so expensive.
Will Michael be on stage? As the Art Director certainly.
In person? I think we will see his successors.
-
But why would they do this? His regular face is so beautiful. I'm confused as to why they would do this. The twitter is interesting...thanks to those that saw this!
Of course his face is beautiful. It's not because it wouldn't be beautiful, I think it's part of the whole thing and maybe the person in charge of the posters wated to create this. I don't know
-
I think this is the image we are used to seeing.

I was thinking of these photos somehow too, but it still looks computerized. Also the V neck of the tshirt is a Dangerous tour detail most of the time. He wore V neck Tshirts in Dangerous tour while in History he had rounded neck tshirts

8-) next step: THE DECODIFICATION OF THIS POSTER.....LETS GO!!!

Was this the project where Timor was talking about at his twitter, he was talking about that he has to go to rehearsal for a project bigger than This Is It or something like that?
And at the picture Lil Wendy send i see Africa and other continentals on Michaels face,
Like He's Facing the world.
L.O.V.E
-
Lil Wendy....thanks for sharing that pic....you're right...it does look more like this one than Blue Eye....another interesting thing that came across my brain when I saw it was that it reminded me of the vitiligo....
I totally agree! That's what I first saw as well!!!
Also want to take this opportunity, Wendy, to let you know just how much I've always enjoyed your writings and insight....I think you are brilliant!
Aw thank you so much! It's always nice to feel appreciated and I feel so blessed to be a part of this adventure with ALL my fellow brilliant investigators! :-) Love you all!

Yeah i think it's called "Heal the World" so yes it is supposed to be a "world" on his face. It's just interesting and very creative how the world is brown and white - very similar to how his face must have looked with the vitiligo spreading.
And despite his own personal struggles, he still continued to give to the world. He still stayed true to his personal mission of helping the children. *shaking my head* How can you not love him to pieces?! Oh how I wish I could give him the biggest hug!! :)

Not sure where to post this, but if you right-click on the background of the @michaeljackson Twitter to save the image, it is an interesting name .... 8-)
The name of the jpg is MJ_hero.jpg, and it is a little bit different than the other pic shown. Here it is. The H, L, & K are longer...not the I & the N... His body is also lower in the first one....Not sure what that means...but they are definitely different...
[attachment=1:205at2vf]MJ_hero.jpg[/attachment:205at2vf]

This is off topic but god they are so beautiful...... The elephants. Just when I look into those eyes, they're so beautiful and innocent. I love animals so so much
I agree with you whole heartedly. They are so adorable. :)
About the CDS, I don't know why but it never excited me. Maybe it is because I don't believe Michael will show up with the circus. But the last show of the circus is at 2012. So how come is it going to happen if Michael comes back earlier? How is it going to affect the circus and their show? Or does it mean that Michael is not coming back till they end their show? I have mixed feeling about this. :?

Well Cirque just absolutely confirmed my belief all along that This Is It was the rehearsal for this IMMORTAL WORLD TOUR. During the outtakes, as mentioned here on the forum earlier, it was said "it might as well have been Cirque du Soleil there" and of course a couple of aerialists from Cirque were in the outtakes and some of the props were shown during the instrumental of Who Is It in This Is It with the fire scenes. We all tried to figure out what the heck was going on during Earth Song's ending footage in the movie with the 3D audience and fake tractor image and cardboard Michael, etc. :lol: :lol: I'm fully convinced now that what we were looking at was a "sketch" from the Cirque Show because that scene in the movie looks just like this one!....complete with MJ's Army, his soldiers of love....
BRILLIANT! I loved how you explained this. I agree. Blessings :)
Okay I made a still from Earth Song in This Is It with cardboard Michael and fake tractor...to compare to the sketch at Cirque's website for Michael's giving tree. It's pretty obvious that this scene in the movie was also a "sketch" for the Cirque Show (at least to me) ;)

Brilliant find! Thanks for sharing this! This Is It! It is a behind the scenes look at MIchael's last creative process. - YEP! That's what It Is! We got to see the Making Of before we saw the Show! Never has been a doubt in my mind.... ;)

What´s this? we get different names or what? :lol:
I got "MJ_World_Tour_reasonably_small" :lol:
-
when i enlarge the pic says "MJ_World_Tour"
-
So glad he mentioned the swine flu pandemic. My theory in black and white. I believe it with every beat of my heart.
Oh and BTW :oops: that Cirque boi is foine!
-
That's a strange picture of Michael's face. I know the pose fits Michael but the face is slightly different.
Also - the word "IMMoRTAL" - eternal, "undying", everlasting, never-ending, endless.
It seems to me that they'd choose a word associated with Michael. Like Elvis - his is Viva Elvis which makes sense. Immortal conjurs in my mind the image of magic.
I just went to the Cirque De Soleil website. The picture on the front page is interesting - not sure how long it's been there but it reminds me of blue eyed Michael.
_______
To me that picture represents the countries that La Cirque may be touring, Canada, US, Great Britain, Europe, Australia and Africa???

Did anyone notice that TMZ and CduS are actually saying MJ is alive? "The legend lives on".
Meaning of legend:
–noun
1.
a nonhistorical or unverifiable story handed down by tradition from earlier times and popularly accepted as historical.
2.
the body of stories of this kind, esp. as they relate to a particular people, group, or clan: the winning of the West in American legend.
3.
an inscription, esp. on a coat of arms, on a monument, under a picture, or the like.
4.
a table on a map, chart, or the like, listing and explaining the symbols used. Compare key1 ( def. 8 ) .
5.
Numismatics . inscription ( def. 8 ) .
6.
a collection of stories about an admirable person.
7.
a person who is the center of such stories: She became a legend in her own lifetime.
8.
Archaic . a story of the life of a saint, esp. one stressing the miraculous or unrecorded deeds of the saint.
9.
Obsolete . a collection of such stories or stories like them.
Only the one in bold applies to this, because the show is not about a story or a myth, but a person. It is saying "Michael Jackson lives on". They could also have chosen "His Legacy lives on" or "His Music lives on". They chose "Legend" which means an actual living person, because as far as I remember, when someone that big dies, they often say he/she was a legend.

What are the ticket prices for this show? I really want to go but not sure if I can afford to right now. :(

Hmmm now that IS interesting! The director of the show has a book about MJ's death hoax and the family especially Katherine likes this show the most! :D
-
Did anyone buy tickets yet? I DID!!!!! I'm so excited! I love Cirque du Soleil and even if MJ isn't there and it's only a hologram or something, just the fact that it has HIS music makes it all the more special! :-)
I'm in Vancouver but that show is on a night when I can't go. So I am going to the one in Seattle on Nov 9th.... 3 days before my 40th birthday! Yep I bought myself my own birthday gift already! hahaha
4th row VIP package! Woo hoo!
I always feel a twinge of guilt when I spend money on shows like this because part of me says who could I have helped with this money? So I am committing to putting more money towards charities this next year and giving of my time (which I would have done even if I didn't get the tickets)
So who else got tickets?
Awww..I'm so happy for you!! I wish I could afford to go :(
Tell me about it.. I've never been to any kind of show whatsoever- except one or two within Disneyland..

The director has written a book about hoaxes and conspiracy theories. Does anyone else find this just a bit STRANGE!!!!
Here's what he writes:

Why on earth would he have written a book like this, especially when he's doing a show about Michael Jackson!!!! Or is this Michael's way of getting his message out there and exposing the New World Order.....take note of the evidence withheld for the 7/7 bombings.
As they said in the trailer at Cirque...come back on November 3 and all will be revealed.

I noticed that too. They never talk about Michael in the articles or announcements in past tense. They never say "the memory Michael lives on", etc. They speak in present tense and it is really good to see.
I'm still puzzled by the picture of Michael. Why use his body but not his face in the announcement picture? That is such a classic pose that it doesn't make sense not to use his whole image. It just doesn't make sense.

This is off topic but god they are so beautiful...... The elephants. Just when I look into those eyes, they're so beautiful and innocent. I love animals so so much
Anna, I love animals as well, I have been around them since a very young age, and grew to appreciate them as I got older. They are so beautiful, and loving, just like children are. If the world did not have animals and children, what a sad, lonley world it would be.

I found this link on Jackie Jacksons Twitter page....did you know that Jamie King worked as Michael Jacksons double ??
Inside Michael Jackson's Cirque du Soleil Show
Jamie King will also write the 60-performer production, which Jackson’s family endorses, to kick off next fall.
Page 1Even with the incredible success of Dancing With the Stars, few -- if any-- dancer-choreographers have matched the accomplishments of Jamie King, a former background guy who is now very much in the forefront. On Wednesday, it was announced that King will write and direct Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour, a Cirque Du Soleil production incorporating the late star's music and imagery and "unlocking the secrets of Michael's inner world" according to a release, "his love of music and dance, fairy tale and magic, and the fragile beauty of nature." More than 60 international performers will take part in the acrobatic spectacle, which will travel to 30 markets in Canada and the U.S., beginning October 2, 2011. The production budget is estimated to be around $57 million, three times the cost of the typical Cirque touring production. Tickets ranging in price from $50 to $250 go on sale this Saturday.
THR spoke to King, who first met and befriended Michael Jackson when he auditioned to be a dancer on the 1992 Dangerous tour (not surprisingly, he got the gig), about his latest project and the many fantastical tours he's directed over the years, including Madonna's Sticky & Sweet and Confessions tours, treks by Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne and Rihanna.
The Hollywood Reporter: When you were hired as a dancer -- and Michael Jackson's body double -- on the Dangerous tour, was that one of your first jobs?
Jamie King: It was one of my first jobs and the biggest job that I had. It was a gift.
THR: You spent two years on the road with Michael, did that help you land this project? Did you guys keep in touch?
King: No, he went his way and I went mine. I was asked by the estate, who was having conversations with Cirque about directors, trying to find a good match and my name was thrown around. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity. I'm a huge fan. In my work directing big rock and pop tours, I have been so influenced by the Cirque shows and the magic they create.
THR: How do you transition from backup dancer to director?
King: It was a natural progression. Even when I was on stage with Michael in 1992, I remember looking around at the set behind me and around me and I was blown away. I would be next to him on stage feeling that energy and watching him give 150% of himself to his fans and his audience, and I was definitely interested in what was going on around us and how that was created. Also enhancing visual imagery to accent what he was doing, I've always been interested in creating it along with the spectacle of the artist.
THR: Did the estate voice any concerns or requests about how they wished his legacy be presented?
King: It's a collaboration between the estate, the family, myself and Cirque, and in having all these great creative energies, I never had one door closed in my face. In fact, they've been very open in granting me access to everything in Michael's world. I've met with his brother Jackie, his old management, I've done a lot of research on my own in terms of what made the man, who is the man, what does he stand for, what is he about? And of course, I re-listened to all the albums again and that was really the launching pad. From there, I created the show that I thought fans would want to see. This journey is more about discovering and uncovering the secrets of Michael Jackson. His love of fairytale, magic movies, music, dance, animals, his ideas and beliefs on the state of the world and how he sometimes thought we as human beings had the ability to contaminate and ruin things that are pure and beautiful. Also his big belief in uniting the world and bringing people together, and that life was really a big dance floor and performance space where we should all celebrate one another and our diversity.

Don't know about you guys but I'm nervous and crying.
Just saw this and also on the official site they changed the home page and posted this and changed Michael's old faded picture which was taken from the back.
Now it's this picture from the front.
This is what I liked the most in this article:
"This project -- unlike some others -- got the thumbs up from Katherine Jackson."

Did anyone notice that TMZ and CduS are actually saying MJ is alive? "The legend lives on".
Meaning of legend:
–noun
1.
a nonhistorical or unverifiable story handed down by tradition from earlier times and popularly accepted as historical.
2.
the body of stories of this kind, esp. as they relate to a particular people, group, or clan: the winning of the West in American legend.
3.
an inscription, esp. on a coat of arms, on a monument, under a picture, or the like.
4.
a table on a map, chart, or the like, listing and explaining the symbols used. Compare key1 ( def. 8 ) .
5.
Numismatics . inscription ( def. 8 ) .
6.
a collection of stories about an admirable person.
7.
a person who is the center of such stories: She became a legend in her own lifetime.
8.
Archaic . a story of the life of a saint, esp. one stressing the miraculous or unrecorded deeds of the saint.
9.
Obsolete . a collection of such stories or stories like them.
Only the one in bold applies to this, because the show is not about a story or a myth, but a person. It is saying "Michael Jackson lives on". They could also have chosen "His Legacy lives on" or "His Music lives on". They chose "Legend" which means an actual living person, because as far as I remember, when someone that big dies, they often say he/she was a legend.
Indeed, Souza, every phrase they used tells us that he is actually alive. Besides "the Legend (Michael) lives on", we also have the name of the tour, which is not "Immortal", but "THE Immortal", determining not the tour, but the character, Michael: "MICHAEL JACKSON THE IMMORTAL - World Tour". HE is THE immortal, the Highlander, as in the person who is not subject to death, because he "lives on" - to live on = "to survive, to be alive, continue to live through hardship or adversity" .
LOVE,
Andy

This is like twisting words again. My opinion. Because when you have someone of his magnitude people will create such things and say such things, also because the public asks for it. People use to say about them "they will live forever" as in "they will live forever in our hearts" and the "legend lives on" has nothing to do with "Michael Jackson is alive", it's because the public suffers....and they will give them the illusion of Michael. As they said, "we'll try everything technologically possible and people will have the feeling Michael is alive".That's what it's all about in my opinion. We cannot twist and turn words all the time, because we lie to oursellves.
It's because no one is like Michael, and the public needs this. That's why they speak as in "can't let go" way. They keep him alive for the public but in a metaphorically way. That's why I see nothing encouraging in what they do and say as all of you.

That's your opinion, but I disagree.
-
Yes....My opinion as everyone else's.
But now if you think out of the hoax theory, have you really never seen people talking about legends as "they live on" even if they are dead? Don't you think we twist words too much as to fit? I really say that we have to keep our mind clear and not dismiss from the start any other possibility that doesn't fit. I am afraid of this, because it leads nowhere.

Agreed, the picture and words doesn't mean anything to me! People always used those kinds of words when someone is dead
-
While I agree that we shouldn't assume absolutely EVERY thing we see/read has a hidden meaning and the word immortal is perfect for Michael and his music and always has been, what has already been unearthed about a lot of the same people working on the Cirque show as well as TII does have to make you wonder. Personally I don't know if the BAM would occur during a show in front of a relatively small audience, just as his "death" had the whole world watching their screens I think there would have to be something huge with almost global audiences for his comeback. Otherwise you get the trickle-down effect of news reports in different time-zones and that to me wouldn't be as big a BAM! So maybe something would be announced that was unrelated to MJ but would guarantee the eyes of the world were watching (and I'm not thinking press conference).

If it were only this, it could be a coincidence, but this is the 100th time, that's not coincidence anymore.

A legend has nothing to do with death, in my opinion
A legend is a story of human events transmitted from generation to generation and perceived both the sender and receiver, as part of the story. Legend possesses qualities that give it some credibility, but to be transmitted word of mouth, goes by modifying and mixing with fantastic stories. Part of a legend is that it is told with the intention of making believe that it is a real event, but in reality, a legend is composed of traditional and not historical facts.
The term "legend" comes from Latin legend, meaning "that must be heard". Originally a written narrative that was read publicly in the celebrations of the feasts of Saints. Since the 19th century, the legend is regarded as a synonym for the so-called popular tradition. As part of the literary genre, the legend is considered as a fictional character with oral origin story.
A legend has the fundamental characteristic, which is an oral, i.e. is a spoken story transmitting traditionally in a place, a town, a village. Also stands out in a legend, precise locations, which are part of the reality that points in its history. In addition, relates to facts, places, monuments, persons or communities. The facts recounted in a normal legend, are transformed with over the years, unless the captions are written, because they do not have that feature. Some legends start and remain oral in nature while others have the same origin but subsequently passed to be written.
Although legend has wonderful and fictitious stories, are normally based on reality, whether a person, a place, a natural phenomenon, etc. Thus, count legends of heroes, history, Saints, etc., giving the legend be religious, desecrates, scholarly or popular. This is what the difference myth, which is relative, because the myth is essentially a tale of wonderful, facts with supernatural characters and tries to explain the origin of all things, answer questions related to the creation or the end of the world, etc. Legend, instead of explaining something supernatural, tries to publicize, striking way, the characteristics of a village, region, etc. It is this closeness with the culture of a particular place, which makes the legend folklore.
There are many legends that are specific to some country, city, region or town, but there are many others that are shared by everyone, with a specific source, but due to globalization, have become more popular. It is the case of legends like island of Atlantis, the city of El Dorado, Robin Hood, King Arthur, the philosopher's stone, Beowulf, among others. Many legends have been the cause of findings of archaeologists from cultures which for a long time were considered only a legend. Is the case of Troy and his famous war, Pompeii and his great destruction among others.

When I have doubts, I look at Murray´s video "da troot will prevail" and I snapp from my doubts.
Michael is alive, another thing to question is if he would come back, but up to today, the investigations show that he is alive or his case is the sloppiest inconsistant case full of wrong info given by the media from the very 1st second that MJ "died".
Lets not forget that some legal contract did not allow him to perform untill 2011 among other things.
All this have been disected in this 17months.
Michael is behind the scenes!

I bought my ticket!!! Going to the Vancouver, 11/04/2011 show!!!

Was this the project where Timor was talking about at his twitter, he was talking about that he has to go to rehearsal for a project bigger than This Is It or something like that?
And at the picture Lil Wendy send i see Africa and other continentals on Michaels face,
Like He's Facing the world.
L.O.V.E
Yeah i think it's called "Heal the World" so yes it is supposed to be a "world" on his face. It's just interesting and very creative how the world is brown and white - very similar to how his face must have looked with the vitiligo spreading.
And despite his own personal struggles, he still continued to give to the world. He still stayed true to his personal mission of helping the children. *shaking my head* How can you not love him to pieces?! Oh how I wish I could give him the biggest hug!! :)
Wendy you absolutely right, but have you noticed my other question , maybe its not relavant but i was curiuos how you think about that.
Thanx with lots of L.O.V.E
Oh sorry totally missed what you were saying there :oops: Hmmmm only time will tell if this project is the project he was referring to. Your guess is as good as mine!

Hey guys where do I go to try and get tickets for the Canada venue I would like to try and book mine too. Which website do I go to?
Hi - I got mine through pre-sales at Ticketmaster Canada - they are going on sale for the public on Saturday at noon I believe. Just google Ticketmaster and go to their website and set up your account FIRST and all because they only give you a few minutes to decide and complete the purchase. Good luck!

What I tried to say. The Elvis show probably it's not "for the hoax" as the world doesn't know Elvis might be alive and we don't know for sure either, so it's a typical way of talking for the huge artists that are not anymore.
This thing with the Circus really dissappointed me, I really thought it won't be an "in memory of..." kind of show.

But isn't that a good thing that it's not "in memory of"? If I saw those words I would automatically think Michael is dead. By not seeing that it continues to give me reason to believe he's alive. Can I ask why you are so down about this? I'm sorry to see you disappointed...blessings :)

It's Don Lafontaine. He's a world known and award winning announcer. He died in September of 2008. MJ has been working on this show since 2002 as widely reported. Same thing with Planet Michael. Planet Michael's website domain was purchased in 2002. This comeback and greatest show on earth has been a looooong time in the making....and so worth the wait! :mrgreen:

Thank you so much for bringing up the fact that the voice over in this promo is, without a doubt, Don LaFontaine, who indeed DID DIE IN 2008...September, if memory serves...this is completely verifiable...just Google his name....he is probably the most famous voice in ads and movie trailers for the last 25+ years...so, to me, this has been one of the BIGGEST CLUES we've been given and I've posted about it a number of times and no one seems to comment much....
I just have to say...I am LOVING NOVEMBER SO FAR!!! heehee

"According to Randy Philips, £13 million was to be spent on producing the concerts, which would have included 18-22 songs and 22 different sets. There also would have been aerial dancing similar to routines by Cirque du Soleil."
I found this little extract from an article about TII.....
I think there was a Vincent Price double for Thriller 2..

I'm dissappointed because somehow deep in my thoughts I had the feeling that the Cirque show will have connections with the comeback. Because it's something huge, and it's impressive, explosive. But then, when i saw the poster of the tour and the way they keep saying there will be doubles, impersonators, holograms, it just cut it for me. If they won't use doubles, impersonators and holograms, then why saying it? It mean they really will use these. So this for me is some kind of creating the illusion of Michael but using the music and high technology to "create" a Michael, as if it's enough to put there a shell of Michael and people go "yeah!!", you know? I don't need and don't want a shell..... What makes Michael who he is it's his heart and character and person.Not a fedora and not a long black hair or gold pants.It's HIM. And no double in this world will ever replace the desarming light he spreads.
And I took it as a way of promoting themselves using Michael, knowing that the public would be huge and their gain would be astronomical.

Anna, we really don't know what will happen...but remember the drama about doubles being used in TII ?? Joe said there was doubles and AEG swear it is all MJ.! To this day, none of us really know for sure. I think the plan would be the same. An impersonator will look so much like Michael, that it could probably be him...people will be left wondering..and speechless.
We have another contradiction with the new album as well. Sony say its all Michael and Katherine and the children say it isn't...so, nobody really knows..Love xoxoxo

My belief about the Cirque show being in the works for years is based upon following this story for the last decade. Michael has had strong connections to vegas for a couple of decades, was highly publicized in 2002 but then unfortunately Michael got embattled in legal troubles. The story then became highly publicized again in 2007, 2008, Steve Wynn, Kenny Ortega, Simon Fuller, etc. Then "supposedly" nothing ever came of it. The trailer was definitely made prior to September 2008 because that is when Lafontaine died. Anyway, that's just my belief about it being several years in the making by connecting all the dots ;)

I'm so jealous of all of u guys that u'll have the chance to watch it :( , i'm sure that it's gonna be a perfect and mesmerizing show as Michael's concerts always were, but i don't think that he'll reveal himself there, it will cause too much confusion and i don't think it'll be safe for him.

Michael Jackson's Double To Write And Direct Cirque Du Soleil Spectacular
Date: 05-Nov-2010
MICHAEL JACKSON's upcoming Cirque Du Soleil spectacular will be directed by the choreographer/dancer who doubled for the King of Pop on his Dangerous tour.
Jamie King will spend the next year working with over 60 performers before staging The Immortal World Tour, which has been personally endorsed by Jackson’s mother and members of the famous family, late next year (11).
King will also write and direct the production, which links Jackson's most famous songs and eye-popping acrobatics. The $57 million (GBP38 million) show, which was announced on Wednesday (03Nov10), will travel across North America, beginning next October (11).
King, who has directed live shows for Madonna, Britney Spears and Rihanna, among others, tells The Hollywood Reporter he was thrilled to be asked to take charge of the Jackson spectacular.
He says, "I jumped at the opportunity. I'm a huge fan. In my work directing big rock and pop tours, I have been so influenced by the Cirque shows and the magic they create."
King was hired as a dancer - and Jackson's body double - on the Dangerous tour, and he spent two years travelling the world with the King of Pop.

I don't know if to laugh my ass of or really remain speechless at such bombs. So, body double that replaced Michael in dangerous tour. What a good fantasies, it's good bullshit for little kids but that shit doesn't work for me

Yes, he used doubles in Thriller stunt scenes, but not to replace him on stage, signing and all. I think that's pretty obvious.Just because some people believe in the double theory doesn't make it a fact. It's still a theory. Everyone's free to have their own opinions and I don't agree.

I know and I understood. Just that I do not agree and never will with the double theory. Everyone's free to believe in it, just that I strongly do not because of obvious reasons.

I think you might be wrong about that. I will search for the picture I have in mind (ON stage) that didn't seem to be MJ to me. This guy could very well be him.
@_Anna_ I wonder if you would still deny there were doubles if he would tell you in your face, probably not even then.

The really broad shoulders immediately reminded me of Dave Dave on LKL. I think I'm losing it... :shock:

Michael Jackson might be gone, but he's certainly not forgotten. With new music to be released on his posthumous album and a Jackson-centric Cirque du Soleil show set to hit the road next fall, MJ's pop-culture influence is still going strong.
When MTV News spoke to writer/director Jamie King, who is helming the Cirque du Soleil Immortal World Tour, he made it clear that when fans come out to see the show, Jackson's presence will be felt.
"It started with the music for me. I had to go back. I mean, we all know the Michael Jackson hits, but I really just wanted to sit and remember why I, as a fan, loved Michael and what his lyrics meant to me," he said. "I really started there, and ... it kind of became a snowball, wherein a story was being created for me. I was invited to Neverland [Ranch], and once I got there, I knew this was the environment I wanted to create for this show.
"Michael will be represented in every way possible, and that is from the video elements, holographic-type images and installation pieces to, of course, the choreography and that energy he gave onstage," King continued. "Essentially, there are living beings that are giving that energy that Michael would. Michael's lead vocal will always be there, because no one could sing it like Michael, but around that and outside of that, I'm going to be playing with remixing and mashing up, as well as give you some surprises and unreleased songs."
Without giving away too much about the 90-minute Jackson spectacular, King teased a bit about what Jackson maniacs can expect: "Michael's songs are the score for the show, and they guide us and lead us. ... Essentially, it's about following several characters as they get transported through a portal into Michael's world. This place is Neverland. In that world, we discover all kinds of things about Michael. Things we know ... and secrets."

but is this not interesting?

Hmm I wonder why Montreal,Canada is so fortunate as to have the tour come to them on 3 separate dates while everywhere else only has one date booked :? . Lucky!

Cirque du Soleil is based in Montreal and was founded in Quebec... that might have something to do with it! ;)

If insurance is a perfect double, so seemed as two water drops :lol:
-
I am thinking he was body double for end of Thriller with mask on head... and that's all.

Ok, I didn't see anything on this so I thought I'd post it.
Michael Jackson "IMMORTAL" tour by Cirque-Du-Soleil. I just thought that it was kind of weird that they would sell tickets two years in advance, not to mention cirque-du-soleil has had some weird things connected to MJ. Well here is the link to it.

That does seem like a little too far in the future...perhaps they wanted to make sure they had sell out venues before taking the show on the road?
-
Hope this show isn't another hoax... :?
-
I don't get why they will make the tour permanent if his coming back?
-
I have my ticket for Oct, 21, 2011, Toronto, Canada cannot wait!!! :lol:

ok..this is a REALLY late reply..but just wanna say that the year was a typo/mistake. You r correct! 2012~

It can´t be feb.2011 because the tour stars on november 2011 in las vegas and then across the usa and canada and then hopefully in 2013-2014 in the world and like i wrote in other topic i think it could be with him if he returns finally this year like some ones believe maybe in may. But like many here we hope he comes soon because it´s heart beaten to be confused and unknown but that´s the idea behind a bam to don´t know when and then bam suprisingly he appears but big question would be how and when would the f....g media showing it? That the world can recognized it? :!: :!: :?: :shock: :o :cry:
The Awards are coming maybe there coming hints again and of course another cd would appear even that some are questioning the authencity of it if it really is mj or not. I believe all is from him but i haven´t heard it already but hold my hand is from him the video of it is sweet looks similar to the mystic one with carlos santana where also a shadow has danced. ;) :P :oops: :D 8-) :geek: :ugeek: :o :roll: :P :( :cry: :cry:
-
Hope this show isn't another hoax... :?
Thats why I didnt buy any Ticket for now I will only buy if MJ comes Back ;)

I think THIS is the actual tour. He had two years to prepare. And even if not,- it will be a great show, I am sure. So, I figured I'd get the tickets now (kind of a win-win). I hope I get my 400 bucks back if it's a hoax. I am going April 10 2012 in Philly.
My husband thought I was slightly nuts, but he is used to my brand of insanity now.
