Michael Jackson : The Tragic Recordings

Tragic recordings of Michael Jackson apparently in fear of his life have been unveiled today.

The late King Of Pop, who passed away almost a year ago, was believed to have been pleading for financial help amid fears for his safety in shocking tapes which have been unveiled by British newspaper, The Sun.

The recordings – which were sometimes incoherent – tell how Michael was desperate to escape the confines of his Neverland ranch and find safety somewhere as he pleads; “I am very concerned about my life. I want to be away where they can’t find me.”

The messages, which were left on one of Michael’s friends answering machines in 2003, show just how the star appeared to be suffering the effects of an addiction to prescription drugs. In February of that year Michael was still reeling from a public backlash after the Martin Bashir TV documentary exposed him for sharing his bed with children.

Below are the messages US journalist Daphne Barak passed on to The Sun; in the first message he is determined to move away:

“It is Michael calling. It is very important, I want that 150 in that account for me, because… I am very concerned about my life. I am hearing a lot of stories that (name withheld) is still trying to sabotage (inaudible) me and I want to be in a different environment and, um, I’ve found a place that I like and now (inaudible) I want to be away for a while where they can’t find me. So please help me, help (inaudible) help me, and, um, more important than (inaudible). We are brothers.”

The second is more slurred and slower, which is thought to be to do with the medication;

“It is Michael. Ahh, it is 4:30 in the morning here that’s why I sound very sleepy (laughs) and I’m really worn out… but please check the message I left a day or so ago. I am very concerned. I don’t trust that man. We think he’s bad, we think he is Italian mafia. Please… we must be smarter than him. So please, help me with this. I need to get that, those funds so I can do that, I wanna be away. . . I don’t want to be in Neverland right now.”

In a separate message Jackson again seems to be seeking money urgently; “If you get this message call me immediately at 805 *** ****. What I want to talk to you about is very top – top secret… I need a German or Swiss bank… ” before he calls back and asks for money to be transferred. He appears to use a code word “Sun Screen” – possibly suggesting protection money.

“I am very embarrassed. But, um, there should be that I have some finance that’s coming up January, February 2nd, and um… that’s why I, we need to have on Sun Screen to the account 150. Please don’t be mad at me for… (inaudible) It’s something that’s very important to me and my family, because I’m (inaudible) that I’m being stalked and I think it is (name withheld).”

These shocking words are just the latest ‘development’ to have crawled out of the woodwork since Michael’s untimely death last June, but what do YOU make of them, is it possibly that the theories that Michael faked his own death in order to go and live a quiet life could be true?

Uh-Oh… Joe McElderry REALLY Lays Into ‘Sickening & 0/10’ RATM

Joe McElderry seems to be getting himself into a right old flap over this Joe Vs Rage battle for Christmas number one… so much so that he’s been publically attacking the band.

When he spent the day at The Sun’s offices yesterday, the nice folk on the Bizzare section let him listen to the Rage Against The machine song for the first time (apparently he’d not heard it before, but we doubt that) and Joe wasn’t at all impressed….

Speaking to the journalists at the tabloid he was apparently ‘sickened’ by the song which is currently beating him in the battle for Christmas number one, and he commented; “They can’t be serious! I had no idea what it sounded like. It’s dreadful and I hate it. How could anyone enjoy this? Can you imagine the grandmas hearing this over Christmas lunch? I wouldn’t buy it. It’s a nought out of ten from me. Simon Cowell wouldn’t like it. They wouldn’t get through to boot camp on The X Factor – they’re just shouting.”

Well newsflash Joe, people ARE buying it, and saying you ‘hate it’ is reeeeally not going to do your bid for the topspot any favours as those metal fans can be oh-so determined when you piss them off by slagging off a band who you might not like.

I mean, lets face it, I don’t particularly like hip hop music, but do I go around saying ‘I hate 50 Cent, he’d never do good on X Factor’? No, because I know that A) just because I don’t like a particular genre of music doesn’t mean  those artists are rubbish, they’re just not my thing. And B) considering RATM have a huge back catalogue of hits, I don’t really think they’d have to worry about the approval of four judges to make themselves a music career, do you?

Finally, what’s the deal with you throwing darts at a picture of Zack de la Rocha? Could you imagine if that was the other way around? Them throwing darts at a picture of you? The world would be up in arms, but it’s okay for you because you’re 18 and a little popstar? That’s bang out of order.

… and you’d be really disappointed if you didn’t score number one after “all the effort I’ve put in to this and winning the show.” Hello? – NOONE deserves instant recognition in this business… respect is earned. A flimsy TV title means nothing.

The Sun Withdraws Labour Support – Am I Bovvered?

The Sun have today made a huge fuss about their decision to retract their support of the Labour Party, and considering they claim to be responsible for getting Labour elected in the first place little Gordon Brown will probably be trembling in his handmade leather shoes.

Personally I don’t really think The Sun could make me decide which political party to vote for anyway, considering they spend most of their time coming up with rhyming headlines and ranting on about the latest ’scandal’ in the news.

Fair enough, that’s exactly what I do on a daily basis anyway, but I wouldn’t expect my journalism qualifications to give me the right to dictate who my readers should vote for, and neither do I stick my oar into politics… which quite frankly, most people find utterly boring these days.

the-sun-labour-0909

To be honest, I don’t know much about politics, I know what each party stands for, and what George Alagiah decides to tell me, but other than that, I can’t say I’m an expert, and to be honest, if you like politics, I think you’d be far better off reading a broadsheet rather than a tabloid.

Either way, the main problem I have with The Sun publicly condemning Mr Brown and friends is that they’re supporting a party in the first place! I know it’s common for a newspaper to be subtly in favour of a party, but running with the headline “The Sun Says: Labour’s Lost It” has really yanked my chain.

Not only is the red top rambling on about themselves in the third person, but they seem to reckon they have control over how their readers will vote… now, unless their readers all all tiny lemmings, I really don’t think The Sun has any power over which party people will choose.

Labour have let themselves down over the years, and I vote Conservatively anyway, but the problem is, shouldn’t papers present an impartial view of the facts, and allow readers to make up their own minds? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought that was what journalism was all about back in the days when these archaic newspapers were born?
