Roger Federer has Michael Jackson in his blood: 'My footwork, I owe it to M.J.'

JUNE 27, 2020 00:32

On Thursday, it was the 11th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death and, whether you know it or not, the famous pop star and Roger Federer, still roaring on the world’s most prestigious courts, have a few links connecting each other.

First of all, Federer was described by former world number one Andre Agassi as being the Michael Jackson of tennis since everyone will regret not watching the Swiss Maestro’s flawless strokes and innate talent once he retires.

"It’s going to be like the person that says 'I never saw Michael Jackson perform,'" Agassi told Business Insider during a Lavazza event at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships. "I can imagine a lot of people saying, 'I can’t believe I never saw him play.'

He’s left that kind of mark on the game. He’s changed it,” continued Agassi. "It will be a sad day [when Federer retires], but it will also be a glorious one because I know what he deserves now for the rest of his life, he deserves to feel something he’s never felt before and I know life will offer [that to] him."

Roger Federer loves listening to Michael Jackson’s hits
In an article released about a month ago, we showed you what music the Big Three – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic – like to listen to.

Therefore, we found out they have quite different styles, but, at the same time, that Federer became passionate about Michael Jackson. Besides enjoying the rhythms of the moonwalking pop star, during his young ages, the Swiss Maestro loved disco music or the kind mixed by DJs, but it was only later when he fell in love with world-renowned formations like Queen, AC/DC and Metallica.
How did Roger Federer react to Jackson’s death
Michael Jackson died on June 25th, 2009, and Federer reacted to the artist’s passing away after he beat Philipp Kohlschreiber in the same year’s Wimbledon edition, two days after M.J.’s death.

“It was quite a shock to hear that news. Michael and myself are much alike in that we are both timid outside of what we do, but when we do what we are good at we do it with passion and to be the best,” said Federer.

Asked whether he is a fan of Michael, Federer didn’t hesitate to respond: “Oh yeah, sure. I mean I got all the moves. Some of my footwork on the court, I owe to Michael Jackson. Let me show you”. And Roger did show the reporter some of his moves, but he stopped when he reminded that “Mirka hates when I go into all of it but it is in my blood”.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t get our hands on that day’s footage of him showing off, but here is a sample of Roger Federer’s dancing skills – Billie Jean style.

"I remember he was going with this girl and he was so in love with her.
He came to show me the ring he’d bought for her. I asked him what he was going to say and he didn’t know. So I said: “Let’s rehearse,” and that’s what
we did. But the girl turned him down. She said she wasn’t ready to commit right now. She told him to ask again in six months. And it all but killed him. He was heartbroken." #LizaMinelli

NBA PROSPECT CASSIUS STANLEY
COPS INSANE MICHAEL JACKSON PENDANT
... Smooth Criminal Style!!!

Immagine

NBA prospect Cassius Stanley just copped a new piece that would make the Gloved One proud -- a diamond pendant of Michael Jackson doing his iconic tilt from the "Smooth Criminal" music video!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... the projected 1st round pick in the 2020 NBA Draft hit up Clarity Custom Jewelry, a Black-owned business in L.A., to get himself a personal gift before jumping to the pros.

Jeweler Courtney Roy tells us the ex-Duke guard is a HUGE fan of the King of Pop ... so it was easy to decide what he wanted to get -- a pendant in the shape of Jackson's tilt pose from the 1988 music video!

You know what we're talking about ... about 7 minutes into the vid, MJ and his dancers defy gravity by leaning at a 45-degree angle. It's insane.

Roy tells us it took 3 different designs to get it right for the 20-year-old baller ... but ended up with a product that's decked out with white gold and 3 karats of VVS diamonds.

Roy -- who also designed jewelry for Shareef O'Neal and Patrick Beverley -- says this MJ piece is one of his favs and was thrilled (haha, MJ pun) to make it come together.

No word on how much the piece cost ... but the dude's just months away from cashing in ... so treat yo' self!!

Congrats!!

P.S. -- for those who didn't know, Jackson actually used a special shoe with a heel slot to help him achieve the move. Cheating? Kinda. Still dope.

"That video was also beyond fun. I confess that Michael brought his own costume, he was into buckles. We wanted to give the dancers the b-boy, bicycle messenger look, which was very tough at the time. Acid wash jeans debuted in that video- they hadn’t been brought to the market yet. I loved dressing the 9 minute black and white film at the beginning of the video, which features a young Wesley Snipes. I don’t think everyone has seen that movie- it explains the concept of the dance, and is hyper realistic." #RitaRyack, costume designer for "BAD"

“Before the advent of digital technology, you needed to be creative acoustically and electronically. In the song “Billie Jean,” when Michael sings the line “Do think twice” at end of the third verse, he’s singing through a cardboard mailing tube. We often would record elements in the bathroom (tiled) because it would give it a short early reflection quality. The main percussion sound on the song “Beat It” was Michael beating on fiberboard drum cases with 1x3 inch pieces of wood in the mirrored room of Westlake Studio A.”

There’s a reason we call Michael Jackson The King of Pop. Last year (2019), he had over 7.3 BILLION streams and his on-demand streaming growth grew 23%, far outpacing overall industry growth.

I know this will fall on deaf ears, but for what its worth, here I go. John Branca informed fans in 2013 at the Bad 25 premier in London, that there exists a HD recording of the HIStory Tour. I hope that we won't have to wait long for that to be released. #HIStory25 #HIStoryTour

A 3D version was made more than 6 years ago using those HD Munich ‘97 tapes. I saw a demo of it in 2014 and, in my opinion, it looks incredible. The depth of the stage, the lighting, the audience, etc. It‘s quite beautiful. And Michael looks like he’s right there in front of you.

Michael Jackson read and made notes in the margins of inspiring books- Notice how he incorporated what he learned into his stage presence - The man was a very deep thinker - There's no denying it.

Michael Jackson's engineer made 91 mixes of "Billie Jean" but it was the second mix that they chose as the final version.
"Billie Jean" would go on to be a Billboard No. 1 hit and gave Jackson two of the record eight Grammys he won at the 1984 awards.

#StoryOfTheDay...Captain EO behind the scene, ”#MichaelJackson was just amazing. He wrote the songs and co-created all the dance sequences you see in Captain EO with his Choreographer, Jeffrey Hornaday. It was magical to see this man in action. Yet every morning he would have several flats of seedless green grapes brought in. Before we went to work, Michael and the puppeteers would go to his trailer and have grape fights. Yes, really — grape fights! It was so silly and so much fun. It happened everyday for three months.”
That time Michael was picked up and thrown across thr room by Angelica Hudson...and gor scared of her !
Once the reading was over, Francis asked us to assemble and get ready for our first improvisation session.
He separated the cast into 3 parts. The first consisted of the puppeteers and suit performers. The second part was Michael Jackson and the third was Anjelica Huston.
The scene was to be in a Day Camp. And in this improvisation, we were told what we would play. Group one became the children at the camp, Michael was the camp counselor and Angelica was the owner of the camp.
Then we were each given a secret. Only the particular group knew their secret. Our secret was that under no circumstances were we to mind Michael no matter what he said. Michael’s secret was that he had to get us to mind him or he could be fired. Anjelica’s secret was that she was to come in to fire Michael.
ACTION!
We jumped around, giggling and pulling on Michael as he pleaded with us to stop.
“Please behave, or I could be fired,” he said in his high-pitched voice.
We ignored him and continued to be difficult.
Anjelica entered and the air seemed to be sucked from the room.
“Michael Jackson!”
Michael stood straight up and turned to face her as she slowly crossed toward him.
Anjelica reached out and took Michael by his shirt, and lifting him up off the floor, her face inches from his she spoke.
“You insignificant little worm, you’re Fired!”
Then she pushed him away sending him backward struggling to keep his balance.
Michael slipped backward and slid on the smooth floor of the sound stage, when he finally stopped we could see that he was shaking. Francis yelled “CUT!”.
We stood there in surprise. Michael didn’t move, he was still shaking. He finally got up and from that day forward he was afraid of Anjelica Huston.
Do you see what Francis did? He had placed each of us in similar roles to our performance. We, the Crew, Michael the Captain and Angelica, the Evil Queen. Pretty smart, huh?
Rehearsals continued and Anjelica now sat most of the time on a ladder way up in the air. This was just fine with Michael Jackson.
However the rehearsal could be filled with fun and frolic. For example, Francis asked me to stand in for one of the Whip Warriors as the suit performers played the creatures in rehearsals. I’m very good with a whip. I looked at Michael and cracked the whip by his feet. He jumped and I told him to run and I cracked the whip again. I was smiling when I said this and Michael playfully ran away and I chased him all over the sound stage. Everyone could hear him giggling and jumping as I chased him. Close your eyes and you can hear his high-pitched voice.
“Oooh! Ahhhh!”
“Stop playing around you two!” Francis looked at the both of us with his hands on his hips.
During shooting, production asked Anjelica to come and try out the flying harness she would be wearing as the Wicked Queen. When she saw it she decided that she would only allow them to fly her up about 5 feet.
“Who will we get to do the high stuff?”
“Get Terri, she seems stu…, I mean, she seems capable of doing this stunt.”
Production then offered me the chance to stunt double for Anjelica. I accepted, I mean, duh! In all the shots where you see the full shots of the Wicked Queen in the air above the dancers, it’s me.
It was amazing hovering high in the air while Michael Jackson stares right into your eyes. Wow! Since I was the stunt-double for Anjelica Huston, the makeup artist Tom Burman had to make me look exactly like Anjelica’s Wicked Queen.
As Francis set the cameras up to shoot the Wicked Queen’s point of view, wranglers got me into position and hoisted me up as the queen. Anjelica had finished her close-ups and had gone back to her trailer to rest.
We were all ready to begin. I recited the lines and Michael looked up. His line was
“Not only see this gift, you highness, but hear.”
Do you remember it? Picture it in your mind now. See Michael’s face as he spoke this line in the film. Do you have it? He was good, right?
Now imagine Michael looking up and upon seeing the Queen, all the blood draining out of his face. His voice shrank to a whisper and he’d turn away as if almost crying.
“Cut!” Francis wasn’t happy. There had been too many takes to get the shot. He went to Michael and with gentle pressure asked Michael what was wrong. When Michael didn’t seem to have an answer, Francis reminded him that he was the fearless Captain EO.
Michael tried again. However try as he could, every time he looked up at the Wicked Queen (me). He cowered. Francis suggested that Michael take five to collect himself.
Watching this, I realized that Michael thought I was Anjelica. Remember the Improv?
I begged the wrangler to let me down. I finally told him I had to go to the bathroom and if he didn’t want a golden shower, he best let me down.
The technician just let go of the rope that held me. When my brain finally registered how fast I was falling to earth with my feet bound behind me I thought my face would hit the cement. Thank goodness the tech grabbed the rope back.
I didn’t wait to justify my positioning but ran right over to where Michael was relaxing.
“Michael Jackson!”
I was using my very best Anjelica voice at first, then I softened my voice and looked up at Michael.
“Michael, it’s me?”
“Terri?”
“Oh yea! It’s me baby. And if you don’t get this scene right, I’m coming for you Michael.”
After that, what you see is the direct result of Michael Jackson being able to do what he was supposed to because he realized it was NOT Anjelica Huston.

Juice WRLD's 'Legends Never Die' & The 27 Other Albums With Five or More Top 10 Hot 100 Hits

8/18/2020 by Trevor Anderson

Juice WRLD
As any musicmaker knows, it's already a tough task to score a hit on the Billboard Hot 100, which ranks the most popular tracks in the United States on a weekly basis. The act requires some blend of the following, if not all, key ingredients: a strong song, a charismatic artist, consistent promotion and marketing efforts, an engaged fan base, and maybe, an X-factor of a live performance, meme or other stroke of luck. To rise (and stay) at the top of the game, then, demands a consistency that only few artists ever achieve. But when artists catch fire, they can run off a string of hits in rapid fashion.

To that end, here's a roll call of artists who cemented their pop dominance by landing five or more top 10 hits from a single album. Not only does such a feat rest on the same qualities as above, but the album needs something special to command a mass audience for months at a time.

It should come as little surprise, then, that the first album to house five top 10s was Michael Jackson's Thriller, the best-selling album of all time. Since then, 27 albums have followed in the legendary LP's footsteps. For Jackson fans, we'll note that his album actually spun off seven top 10s, placing the album in a four-way tie with Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA (1984-85) and Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989-91) and Drake's Scorpion (2018) for the highest total.

Check out our rundown of albums that have produced five or more top 10 hits on the Hot 100. The who's-who covers pop, rock and R&B and includes superstars such as Bon Jovi, Whitney Houston and Katy Perry.

Michael Jackson, 'Thriller,' 1982-84
Jackson had already become the first solo artist to earn four Hot 100 top 10s from an album with Off the Wall, but follow-up Thriller nearly doubled its output. Jackson's magnum opus landed a groundbreaking seven top 10s during its 1982-84 heyday, including two No. 1 classics.

Top 10s: "The Girl Is Mine" (with Paul McCartney), No. 2; "Billie Jean," No. 1 (seven weeks); "Beat It," No. 1 (three weeks); "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," No. 5; "Human Nature," No. 7; "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)," No. 10; "Thriller," No. 4

Billie Jean has increased one million views and Michael Jackson is trending in some countries right now. Thank you to BTS and the army for continuing Michael's legacy!

It is also a little known fact that they were secretly sliding other Sony artist’s expenses and costs under MJ’s budget without him knowing.
