PIERS MORGAN TONIGHT

Interview with Lenny Kravitz

Aired December 21, 2011 – 21:00   ET

MORGAN: Of all of the things that you’ve experienced in your extraordinary career and life, if I could give you five minutes to replay one of them again, what would it be? What’s been the most magical? Forget women or children or births of a child. Obviously, that’s different. But what’s the career moment where if you had the chance, you’d relive it?

KRAVITZ: The career moment. Wow. You know, I – I’ve had so many where I had to pinch myself.

MORGAN: What was the biggest pinch?

KRAVITZ: Being – probably producing Michael Jackson. And there’s been a lot of great ones, but that was something extraordinary.

MORGAN: What made it so extraordinary?

KRAVITZ: Well, the fact that, you know, I wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t seen the Jackson Five when I was six years old. That was the first concert that I had ever been to. My father took me to Madison Square Garden to see them. And it changed everything.

The universe was a different place the next day. I was completely blown away by the music, the talent, the whole experience. And here I am in the studio. I had written a song for Michael. And he’s standing there, telling me to be very hard on him, I want to do this exactly the way you see it, so stop me every time it’s not the way you want it and so forth.
And we’re just getting into it. We’re working together. And we ended up spending, you know, a week together in the studio. It was just unbelievable.

MORGAN: What kind after man was he? For real.

KRAVITZ: I thought that he, first of all, was just a beautiful being. Extremely professional, a perfectionist. Still having the passion all those years later, you know? He would stay, work all day and night, come back the next day, all day and night. He hadn’t lost that.

A great father. He was amazing with his children. I spent time with the kids. We were all in the studio. Zoe would come and we would all hang out together. He was a very good father. And he was funny. Very funny.
MORGAN: Great sense of humor.

KRAVITZ: We laughed all the time. And he could eat more than you think.

MORGAN: Really? He had all of the energy to burn off, all of the dancing.

KRAVITZ: Yeah.

MORGAN: Incredible talent. The greatest I’ve ever seen.

KRAVITZ: The greatest ever. I would agree with that.

MORGAN: How did you feel when you heard what happened to him? And there’s sort of mixed thoughts from people that knew him well, that there was a kind of inevitability in the way his life was going, and that actually for somebody like Michael Jackson – I don’t want this to sound callus – but actually not getting old may have been something that wouldn’t have been his worst nightmare.

KRAVITZ: It was interesting. I heard you speaking to Jane Fonda about that. She had spoken about that. I mean, I was obviously devastated. I was blown away. I found out on stage in Scotland, as I was coming off and getting ready to go back on for an encore. And they told me and I had to go back out.

I mean, I – it’s – it’s extremely sad. I mean, I – I was really looking forward to seeing him come back and do those shows, even though I knew, like, wow, 50 shows, that’s – that’s really serious.

MORGAN: I mean, is his legacy going to be that, of our lifetime – because you get the older generation saying Sammy Davis pretty well the greatest entertainer of that era, whatever. Do you think of our lifetime, Michael Jackson was the best? KRAVITZ: Of course. You can’t touch it.

MORGAN: The greatest naturally gifted, as you said earlier?

KRAVITZ: Yes.

MORGAN: Entertainer of them all?

KRAVITZ: Yes, completely. I think people – people think about Michael Jackson and his solo career, which was obviously phenomenal. But the deepest genius I saw him in was when he was a child. I think that he was – he was a child and he sang with the same talent and soul and intensity of an Aretha Franklin or a James Brown or any great vocalist.

Thank you, Barry!

Mult mai mult decat imaginile de arhiva  de acum cu Michael ma bucura sa-i vad copiii. Ma uit la copiii astia si-mi zic, doamne e adevarat ce se spune, unii copii duc mai departe mostenirea lasata de parinti. Si cand copiii au fost crescuti cu atata dragoste si dedicatie, parintele NU ARE CUM sa moara. Toate valorile transmise de Michael le-a ramas in minte si-n suflet. Sper sa ramana asa. Sper si ma rog din tot sufletul ca factorii externi de care sunt inconjurati sa nu distruga tot ce tatal lor le-a insuflat in putinul timp petrecut impreuna.  Mi-a placut colosal interviul. Mai ales partea in care Paris spune ca stia ca taica-su’ a scos cateva cantece, dar i se parea normal si considera ca toti parintii fac asta. Ellen a corectat-o cu dragoste. Cat de minunat s-a simtit Michael cu copiii lui? Ii reusise, pentru ei, el era doar …daddy, care are ca meserie sa cante si sa danseze…cum face toata lumea, nu? 🙂  Parca ii si vad ranjetul cand le-a pus prima data Moonwalker.

He said to me „If I die tomorrow always remember what I told you”

Paris Jackson on Ellen Show

hmmm…cineva stia si se pregatea…

Poate ca asa e,  poate ca simtim cand se apropie sfarsitul. 😦

Jackson tells Ellen DeGeneres that she’s wanted to act since „I was really little. My dad was in the movie Moonwalker and I knew he could sing really well, but I didn’t know he could act. I saw that and I said, ‘Wow, I want to be just like him.’

„We would do improv together. He would give us little scenarios. He would say, ‘OK, in this scene, you’re going to cry,’ and I’d cry on the spot.”

Michael Jackson – Gone too soon

Dupa o viata asa cum nimeni n-a avut, plina de munca, daruire si tristete, in ciuda aparentelor, dupa o cariera pe care NIMENI n-a avut-o si n-o va mai avea (unic talent si profesionalism), dupa cite suflete ai influentat prin mesajul tau si bunatatea sufleteasca, dupa cit te-au haituit si te-au chinuit, acum sper sa te lase in pace, sa te odihnesti si tu. Meriti. Ai daruit si ai suferit destul. Odihneste-te, suflet bun… (Iar cei care l-au urit sa se obisnuiasca cu gindul ca nu l-au invins, ca nu a mai fost si nu va mai fi nimeni ca el niciodata. Chiar daca ii termina gindul asta, nu l-au invins).

Nu, n-am sa pretind ca am fost o admiratoare, chiar daca urmaream Scoala Vedetelor (sa urmaresc prestatia lui Nadine – fosta sprijinatoare de banci in Cismigiu, unde ne adunam in 1992). M-au socat randurile ei despre Michael pe care de abia ASTAZI, dupa atata timp le-am citit. Parca ar fi fost scrise de mine.

S-a dus. Era nascuta in 1974…ca si mine. N-o condamn. E greu sa traiesti in lumea asta cand ai fost crescut de Michael Jackson. Simt la fel si nu ma regasesc printre oamenii printre care sunt nevoita/ OBLIGATA sa ma misc, sa exist…

NU pot sa nu ma intreb INSA…de ce nu-si pun capat zilelor mocofanii, mizerii si parvenitii, criminalii si hotii, cei care consuma resursele Terrei fara a da inapoi NIMIC…de ce UN ARTIST se simte si paraseste lasand iadul in urma? Poate ca de asta, poate de aici toata taria.

Stiu cum e cand te uiti in urma si sa nu vezi niciun motiv pentru care sa stai. Ii urasc pe cei care, fara nici macar o flexare a creierului sar sa acuze ASEMENEA OAMENI.

NU STITI CE E DEPRESIA!!! NU AJUTATI, NU AVETI DREPTUL SA CONDAMNATI!

Mi-e sila.

E randul tau sa te ODIHNESTI IN PACE, Malina!

It won’t be long!
