1995 - Michael went ‘on-line’ via the Sony Music Internet, at the Museum of Television and Radio in Manhatten, for his first ever internet Simulcast conducted on three leading online services-America Online, CompuServe, Prodigy-as well as the Internet. It was the largest ever ‘cyber chat’ at the time, drew in over staggering 25,000 fans around the world – more than 3 times the previous record for a ‘cyberchat’! Michael devoted 70 minutes to answer around 100 of the questions about his music & life, while MTV airs MJ videos and special programming while simulcasting the chat session on television, in a unique use of split-screen technology (New York City, NY).
He revealed:
- He doesn’t pay attention to tabloid junk. He is very resilient, and feels like he has a suit of armour around him – like rhinoceros skin.
- If he could be any fictional super hero he liked, he would choose Morph, from The X-Men. Why? Because Morph constantly transforms himself, and can even teleport.
- Among his musical influences are Tchaikovsky, and the great writing of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein.
- The two favourite places he had travelled to are South America and Africa, as he loves the people and the cultures.
- The favourite song he’s recorded is probably Ben, Got To Be There, Heal The World – one of the oldies.
- His dream is to make films; not only to act and sing, but to produce as well.
- One of his proudest musical achievements is We Are The World, a song he is proud of because it reached so many people.
- What he missed most during his childhood was the simple little things that kids do – having a friend over, going to the park, trick-or-treat, Christmas and birthdays.
- If he could meet someone, dead or alive, to talk with them for an hour, he would choose Michaelangelo whom he thinks was a phenomenal artist.
- Among his favourite songs on HISTORY are Earth Song, Childhood, Stranger In Moscow and Little Susie – he loves songs with heart.
- He thinks the technology that allowed him to have a simulchat with his fans is incredible, just amazing! As for why he is doing it – for his fans, because he loves them and wanted to talk to them.
He also announces the existence of the project titled “Michael Jackson: One Night Only”: “I’m doing an HBO special, and it’s intimate. It’s close-up. It will allow me to do things I’ve never done before.”

2011- It is reported that the rock group Kiss has been dropped from the line-up of an upcoming Michael Jackson tribute concert in Cardiff, Wales. The decision was taken in the light of objections from MJ Fans and the singer’s estate regarding bassist Gene Simmons’ derogatory and flamatory statement that he believes Michael Jackson was guilty of the charges against the singer in 2003.
