2010 Grammys—Part 2

I realized not too long ago that when I previously talked about the Grammys, I left out the most important part, the children’s speeches. Let’s start with Prince’s speech first.

Prince:
“Thank you, thank you. We are proud to be here to accept this award on behalf of our father, Michael Jackson. First of all we would like to thank God for watching over us for the past 7 months and our Grandma and Grandpa for their love and support. We would also...We would also like to thank your fan...the fans. Our father loved you so much, because you were always there for him. Our father was always concerned about the planet and humanity. Through all his hard work and dedication, he has helped through many charities and donated to all of them. We would also like t...Through all his songs, his message was simple: love. We will continue to spread his message and help the world. Thank you. We love you, Daddy.”

Notice he says “We would also like to thank your fans”, before he quickly tries to correct it. Did he practice this speech talking to his father? That would be the only way he would accidently say your instead of the. If he had practiced with other family members, he would not have practiced with the word your, because he wasn’t thanking their fans he was thanking his father’s.

Paris:
“Dad...Daddy was supposed to be here... Daddy was gonna perform this year, but he couldn’t perform last year. Thank you, we love you, Daddy.”

Now some people take that to mean that Michael was going to end the hoax at the Grammys by performing, but was somehow unable to make it. I don’t believe that, but what I find extremely interesting is that the Grammys took place on January 31, but Michael Jackson had a concert planned for January 29 as well as February 1. Hypothetically, let’s say he tried to make the flight to LA and back in between his concert schedule. That would mean he would leave London on January 30th probably. He would then perform at the Grammys. I would assume that he would perform during the part that was televised live. This was from 5-8:30pm LA time. Let’s just say he opened it at 5 PM, and then left the Staple Center and drove to LAX. This would take approximately 30 minutes. Then, he immediately got on the plane and headed for London. Flight time is 11 hours 30 minutes. He would arrive in London at 5 AM Los Angeles time which would be 1 PM London time. It takes about an hour without traffic to drive from either Gatwick Airport or Heathrow Airport to the O2, so he would arrive at the arena at approximately 2 PM London time if everything goes perfectly. I don’t know when the concert was set to start, but it still is cutting it kind of close to me. Even if he tried, I would think that he would be exhausted from jet lag and the long flights.

If anyone knows when the concert was supposed to start on February 1, 2010, I would love to know.

The crowd at the O2 Arena would have known it was E’casanova, right?

Wrong. I believe he could have easily fooled everyone there at the time. Have you seen this video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1mTtuaaP0M

In it, Navi is just walking outside the arena and everyone is positive he is Michael Jackson. Listen to all the fans screaming his name. He fooled them all and he stood next to them. Whoever was on the stage was a good distance away, so no one would have gotten a real good look. No one would have known that he was not Michael Jackson.

Would you have?

I probably won’t be posting much until next year since it is such a busy time right now. I’ll be leaving the O2 Press Conference. I have said all I can say. Either you believe me or you don’t and I’m not going to force my opinion on you.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

E’casanova vs. Michael Jackson--Who was it?

This post was inspired by MJTruthSeeker on youtube. I was watching his/her video’s earlier and it got me thinking. Check them out they are worth a watch. The videos are located here: http://www.youtube.com/user/MjTruthSeeker

In the videos, he/she tries to prove that E’casanova was the speaker at the O2 Arena and not Michael Jackson. As I said before, I was not 100% on who I thought it was. I seemed to keep wavering back and forth. But, right now, after watching the videos and doing some research and I am coming to the same conclusion that MJTruthSeeker came to.


Let’s compare them, shall we. Here are the obvious, easy to spot differences.

Michael Jackson:
  • Height—5’ 10”
  • Right handed
E’casanova:
  • Height—not positive.
  • left handed

E’casanova’s actual height is hard to tell. I can’t find it anywhere on the internet and in all the pictures, like this one, he seems to be leaning. I would probably put him a little shorter than Michael Jackson, though if I had to guess. So, if E’casanova is slightly shorter than Michael Jackson that would explain the heel on the shoes that I mentioned in a previous post.

Another point I made was that one is right handed and the other is left handed. If you watch a person long enough in situations where they have to move their hands, it is easy to tell if a person is right handed or left handed. For example, I am right handed and my friend is left handed. So, not only do we write with different hand, we also move different hands more often when we talk. We each favor a one hand over the other, she her left and me, my right. If you were to give something to my friend, she would reach out her left hand to take it, while I would reach out my right. We don’t think about what hand we use, it is subconscious and automatic. Though, the differences are subtle, if they studied long enough you can spot a difference.


Example: Dermot O’Leary


I searched and searched the internet to find out if Dermot O’Leary was right or left handed to help prove my argument, but I could not find anything. I would say he is right handed. Since statics show that about 90% of the world is right handed, I would have a very good chance of getting it right if I was just randomly guessing. But, I’m not. Watch how he moves during the conference. He adjusts the, microphone with his right hand, and then when Michael Jackson comes toward him to ask a question, the first thing he does is reach out his right hand to intercept him. So, just by watching him I am pretty confident that Dermot O’Leary is right handed.




Example: Michael Jackson

So, Michael Jackson is right handed, right? Look it up if you don’t believe me. But, if he is right handed, who was at the press conference, because I would say that person is left handed? Here are some stills from the O2 Arena. When the person talks, he moves his left hand the most. That is strange for a right handed person. We might move both hand, butif we are moving one it is normally our right. In the next picture, he calls over Dermot O’Leary, but he beckons with his left hand. Then, he is seen adjusting the microphone with his left. All this pictures are left, left, and left. Not once do you see him raise just his right hand while talking, nor adjust the microphone with just his right. Check out the press conference, again, and look for the movements he makes. They are movements of a left handed person.







These points along with what MJTruthSeeker pointed out in his/her videos leads me to believe that it was not Michael Jackson at the press conference, but E’casanova. If the facts fit, it is normally the correct answer.

The obvious is normally the truth.

Michael Jackson vs. Dermot O’Leary—Height

Most sites on the internet agree that the height of Dermot O’Leary is about 5’ 8” or 5’ 9” and Michael Jackson is about 5’ 10”. So, in this picture everything looks normal, right? Both are standing up straight, and Jackson is slightly taller than O’Leary like he should be.


But, check this out.










As you can see, O’Leary, on the far right, is wearing flat shoes. His height with the shoes is about the same as his height without. But…



On the other hand, you can tell that Michael Jackson was wearing shoes with a heel which probably would add an inch or so to his height. So without, the shoes would Jackson be taller than O’Leary? Probably not, at least not the two inches he should be. So, was it really Michael Jackson at the announcement or an impersonator? You decide.








Here are some other pictures of Michael Jackson. You can see that his shoes had a little bit of a heel, but they aren’t as drastic as at the O2 Arena.



What do you think? Was it him or not?

This is it?

There has been much debate on whether or not it was really Michael Jackson who gave the speech at the O2 Arena in London. We may never know for sure, but we do know that the announcement was interesting to say the least. All that was said basically was “This is it. This is really it.”, but a few phrases did catch my attention.

I was watching the announcement again, today, and reading his This Is It speech from a news article and I noticed a few things that I had not previously heard. During the announcement one of the first things he says is “These will be my final show, performances in London. This will be it. This is it. When I say this is it, it really means this is it.” He means these are his final shows, right. This was it; there will be no more after these. That is how I took it the first time. But, is that what he really says? Read it word for word. “These will be my final show, performances in London.” By adding the “in London”, it gives the sentence a whole new meaning. They aren’t his final performances anymore. They are his final performances in London. Check out the way he says it. Every word is slow and articulated, until the end when he rushes into the “in London” part.

Maybe it is just me. I could be hearing things that aren’t there. What do you think?

More will be coming from the O2 Announcement. This is where I believe the first clues were given.

Here is a good video of the announcement if you want to watch it again.
