Charles Thompson : The Truth About Michael Jackson&#;s UK Comeback
Conjuring a Chorus of Boos; The Truth About Michael Jackson's UK Comeback
I feel compelled to write this blog today because as I sit here in front of my computer, it is seven years - to the day - since I experienced an epiphany of sorts about the media's coverage of Michael Jackson. I had followed his trial quite carefully, of course, comparing court transcripts to media coverage and being distressed by the horrendously biased reporting. But those reports were often at least rooted in fact. Journalists would misrepresent genuine testimony, in most cases simply 'lying' by omission.
What happened seven years ago was different. I witnessed firsthand the construction of a purely fabricated story; one which shot around the world, once again making Michael Jackson a global figure of ridicule, and became immediately accepted as 'fact'. To this day, I read occasional press reports which mention this fabricated event as though it were an objective truth. It has even been listed as a significant career event in Jackson biographies.
Witnessing the creation of the myth was an experience that has stayed with me ever since. For an enthusiastic journalism degree student, it was a shocking and sadd

On production and working with MJ
"When I first met Michael he was working on Captain EO () and I was just a studio runner (the guy who goes to get the burgers). But I got a chance to sit in on his sessions after my regular shift was done.
Michael was a consummate professional. If his vocals were scheduled for noon, he was there at 10 am with his vocal coach Seth, singing scales. Yes, scales! I would set up the microphone, check the equipment, make coffee, and all the while he would sing scales for two hours.
Each of his projects was different, but usually there were eight or fewer of us working day to day. No entourage. No Elephant Man bones. No groupies. No drugs. Just music. And food.
When a small group of people are dedicated to creating great music, it is a great place to be… and it was."
