I have asked about my crazy MJ experiences, well, when I was little, I had to stay at day care, I mean I don't remember a time that I wasn't there. My day-care was inside a collage, that my mother use to work at. Well one day, I was about 7 or so, I don't really remember. I was looking at a collection of tapes, like Barney, Sesame Street, kiddy songs, you know? Well as I was looking there was this ugly tan looking tape, it was all beat up. I look at the name on the tape it said: Michael Jackson Thriller. I almost past out!!! The thing is at a day-care, you can only play stuff like Nursey Rythmes, and here I am talking about, I want to hear Billie Jean, not we all know what that song's about, and so did my teachers, but I was little and I didn't care. I WANTED TO HEAR MJJ, and that was that. There was this little radio, that didn't really work, and I took the tape and radio, and went to the back of a play room. I turned the it on, but had it really low, so know one could hear. And for several days, no one knew I had found the tape, it was one of the teacher, Ms Carrie's tape. Well I can't really remember, but I think I got caught. I didn't get in trouble, but the teachers had to explain to me that we couldn't play music, that wasn't nursey rythme stuff. I was so sad. I was always dancing when I was at day-care, and if we were acting like we were someone else, no matter what I was always MJ. Ms. Carrie came in, and I think she was the one who caught me. Well she had video camera, and asked me if I wanted to sing the thriller album, of course I sad sure! Let me say, I didn't know any verses to those songs, but I knew the chorus. Some of the kids at my day-care were my band!!!! We had toy legos, and building blocks, to be are drums, and keyboards, etc. I even had my one audience!!!!! She hook up the video camera, and taped "My concert" it was so fun!!!I didn't have my loafers because, we could were them, if we went outside or to the gym, we might get hurt. So I grab these tap dance shoes, that were black, and since they have metal on the bottoms, I could dance on that carpet really good! People came in,and saw me and were like "wow, look at her." I had just seen MJ do the Dangerous concert from Bucharest on HBO, so I knew how some of his routines went, I remember doing Beat It, Thriller, Billie Jean (I kept think, when am I suppose to moonwalk?) I ended up moonwalking early, but to early..lol. I did Human Nature, just like him. I did the spins, the kicks, the moonwalks, everything. Needless to say, I grab myself,I did that a lot..LOL. I didn't know that, I shouldn't do it. He does it so I was going to do it too..lol. You know how MJ throws thinks into the audience, well the funny thing was I did it too, I threw a scarf or something, but they'd always throw it back. After that, if I got in trouble she would always say, I'll play that tape of you dancing like Michael Jackson, I'd always become shy, and run away. I haven't seen that tape since, she showed some of it to, some of the kids. I think she still has it.

DaniR's Expierences

Ok, have a few I can tell you about. Right now, I will only tell yiou about one. Two years ago, my church was having a talent show. Well, I am always trying to dance like Michael and so my mom suggested I do the talent show. At first I wasn't sure if I should do it or not, because I get very nervous in front of people. I finally decided to do it. I chose "Will You Be There" as the song I would perform to. So, for weeks I practiced and practiced and practiced. The day of the talent show, I was so nervous. I could barely eat anything. I put on my black pants, and two white shirts (like Michael's), my white socks, and my penny loafers, and I made sure I had my fedora. My mom did my make-up. I looked like Michael as much as I could...LOL. I even, without realizing it, adopted some of his mannerisms. We walked to my church. It was funny because people would hollar out their car windows "Hey Michael!". LOL. We got to the church, and they told the people in the talent show what order we would go in. As my time got closer, I got more and more nervous. Finally it was my turn. I went on stage, I could hear them announcing my name (I was behind the curtain). I was literally shaking from being so nervous. The music started. I tried to focus on the children, especially my littlest brother, so I wouldn't be so nervous. I did the kicks, the spin, the moonwalk....everything (well, unlike PreScilla in her story, I didn't grab myself...LOL). When the song ended, most of the people stood up and applauded me. I couldn't wait to get off the stage. I went and sat with my mom. She said I didn't look nervous at all. She was telling me how all the kids were watching my feet, and about this one child in particular that was trying to immitate ME! When we got a tape of it, I couldn't believe how well I did. I didn't look nervous at all. Well, last May, I went home to visit my family and I went to church (like always). This lady approached me, I had no idea who she was...but she said to me "I know you", and I said "you do???" with a real puzzled look on my face. And she replied, "Yeah, you were Michael Jackson two years ago!" I didn't think anyone would remember. She proceeded to tell me how well she thought I did. I was blushing so bad. LOL! Well, as April rolls around this year, I'm getting prepared once more for the talent show. I'm still not sure exactly what song I'll do. Probably MITM or KTF. If MJ would've released his CD in November, as planned, I would've done a song from it. Well, that's it for now. Keep Michaeling!!!
