記者陳慧玲/綜合報導
送別永遠的流行天王麥可傑克森,藝人、球星紛以不同心情向他道別,懷有身孕的珍妮佛哈德森,不顧孕婦應避免出席喪禮禁忌,大方登台以歌聲悼念麥可。亞瑟小子撫棺獻唱,激動落淚。至於曾和麥可有過純純之愛的布魯克雪德絲,追思會上哽咽追憶麥可,透露麥可曾教她月球漫步舞,最懷念麥可的笑容,而所有歌手大合唱「四海一家We are the World」,更是讓人感動。
亞瑟小子撫棺痛哭
「花蝴蝶」瑪麗亞凱莉(Mariah Carey)在麥可追思會上高歌麥可在「傑克森5兄弟(Jackson 5)」時期的經典曲「我會在那裡I'll be there」,或許是太傷心,高音也顯得沙啞。
傳統習俗上,孕婦不宜接觸喪葬場合,但即使麥可的大體、棺木也在會場上,但哈德森(Jennifer Hudson)毫不忌誨,台上獻唱麥可生前作品「你會在那裡嗎」歌聲讓人動容。
R&B天王亞瑟小子(Usher)是追思會上唯一走向麥可靈柩的歌手,手撫著棺木,對著麥可獻唱「走得太快」,甚至一度激動大哭出聲,最後摘下墨鏡致意,麥可的兄弟姊妹全上前擁抱亞瑟彼此安慰,氣氛哀傷,亞瑟還特別去向麥可母親致意。
芭黎絲、賴瑞金等眾多藝人都在Twitter上悼念麥可,芭黎絲寫著:「看電視轉播追思會,讓我淚流滿面,麥可,每個人都會愛你!」
雪德絲致詞頻哽咽
雪德絲致詞時始終哽咽,甚至流淚,她透露13歲認識麥可就結為好友,兩人因同樣在年少時期就活在鎂光燈下,彼此更惺惺相惜,她欣賞麥可的幽默,兩人在一起總充滿笑聲。
曾與麥可傑克森交往的女星布魯克雪德絲(Brooke Shields)在致詞時含著眼淚,回憶兩人交往期間種種趣事,為現場帶來不少歡笑聲。她說,麥可傑克森有著細心體貼的一面,「他的笑聲是我見過最純真、最真實的。」
"MJ's laugh was the sweetest and puriest laughter than anyone I had ever known."
雪德絲日前接受「滾石」雜誌專訪時透露,麥可曾有很多機會開口問她要不要嫁給他,但她說:「你不必娶我,但你的下半輩子都會擁有我,我會有自己的婚姻、小孩,但你永遠擁有我。」這讓麥可鬆了口氣,因為他不想失去自己重視的人或事。
Brooke Shields talks about `Asexual' Jackson
Tue Jul 7, 5:53 am ET
LOS ANGELES – Brooke Shields was 13 when she first met Michael Jackson and the two "instantly became friends" —mainly because sexual tension was off the table.
"Nothing was jaded about him," the 44-year-old actress told Rolling Stone magazine for a special commemorative issue about the King of Pop, on sale Friday.
Shields said the two became close since sexuality wasn't a part of their friendship. She describes her young self as "the most celebrated virgin ever" at a time when women "wanted to throw themselves at (Jackson) and feel like they were going to teach him."
Shields said that as Jackson grew up, "the more asexual he became to me." But he was curious about her early relationships.
"He was like a little kid who talked about the bases — what first base was, what second base was," Shields said. "It sounded very odd to the outside, I can imagine, but to the inside, to someone who's never really left his bubble, you can understand how he would be curious."
Shields said she last saw Jackson in 1991, at Elizabeth Taylor's most recent wedding.
"We snuck in and took pictures of ourselves next to her dress," Shields recalled. "We always seemed to revert to being little kids."
Brooke Shields couldn’t have said it any better; her and Michael Jackson were an “unlikely pair.” At first glance, Shields seemed to stand out like a sore thumb among the other speakers at the memorial, but as it turns out the mega-star musical legend and the actress/author/model were an odd and yet extremely close couple. They both shared something in common, they grew up in the public eye and didn’t have a real childhood. Shields recalls when they were together, “We always seemed to revert to being little kids.” The two met when Shields was just 13 years old and never left him.At the memorial Shields called their relationship, one of the most natural and easiest of friendships. You can watch her speech and many others in our Jackson video memorial post.
Brooke Shields說Michael Jackson身為一個King of Pop,
曾經對她提及有關小王子的故事,
所以雪德絲也引用了"The Little Prince"書中,小王子跟狐狸之間的對話:
The little Prince," The eyes are blind. One must look with the heart."
"Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."
"What is essential is invisible to the eye,"
the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember."一個人只能用心靈才能看的真切,重要的東西用眼睛是看不到的."
她把Michael Jackson比喻為小王子The Little Prince,也引用了作者對小王子說的話,
聖修伯理Antoine de Saint在書中自言自語道:
"What moves me so deeply, about this little Prince who is sleeping here,
is his loyalty to a flower---the image of a rose
that shines through his whole being like the flame of a lamp,
even when he is asleep..."
"And I felt him to be more fragile still. I felt the need of protecting him,
as if himself were a flame
that might be extinguished by a little puff of wind....
" 這個睡著的小王子,使我深為感動的地方, 就是他對一朵玫瑰花的忠誠--
甚至在他睡著的時候,
那朵玫瑰花的影像,就像一盞燈的光焰一樣照耀他的生命."
" 於是我更覺得他脆弱,我覺得我必須保護他,
因為他好似自己就是一道火焰,
微風一吹就會熄滅似地...
她說Michael就像小王子一樣thought everything with his heart...
這幾天連續,
我都一直在看新聞,轉播,專題報導,Youtube,任何他的特輯,歌曲,評論...
每天都盯著電視,抱著NB在沙發上哭泣著睡著...
然後清醒在一大早的另一個新聞報導...
然後,
我也再看了一次我最愛的書"The Little Prince"
就像"The Happy Prince","Peter Pan","The Little Mermaid",..
名為童書,卻擁有悲戚結局殘酷的童話故事...,其實是寫給大人反省哀悼的!
這個世界的大人,還碩果僅存多少單純地如小王子,快樂王子,彼得潘,小美人魚呢?
今天,是一則最新的消息叫醒我的:
攣童案當時的小男主角,現在已經長大成人,25歲了.
他自白---其實當年是他的爸爸逼迫他誣告麥可的!
然後,
人心險惡,社會媒體的操作模式,懷璧之罪般地欲加之罪,何患無辭!
之後雨後春筍般冒出的所謂"受害者",其實都是對和解金的貪婪惡魔角色.
麥可當然不願意自己的名譽毀損,
一定更不願意用錢去和解委屈一個莫須有的罪名..
我知道他是有主見跟堅定的.
但是,
我們也知道邪惡多麼地黝黑,會如何霸道地覆蓋純白的愛..
7億的和解金,
對事業名譽,身心靈受到莫大痛苦跟認同感矛盾的Michael,是多麼大的沈重壓力,
但是對那些貪念薰心的父親們,又是多麼鉅額龐大的慾望跟釣餌阿!
可恥的人類.
只有在失去了才反省,才自白,才承認錯誤,才珍惜..,
卻已經無法挽救上帝原本送給我們Michael才華的美意!
他已經被上帝收回了.
這不是壓倒駱駝最後一根稻草的問題,而是日積月累的相信,卻遭背叛的絕望.
幾億萬人口的告別式,轉播,收視率,哀悼,不捨,
單純的印象跟歌曲是否能擁有持續的感染力...
是否真的能帶給選擇黑色或不得已在灰色地帶生存的人們,
一個放下屠刀立地成佛的決心!
If you want to be my baby, I don't care about either your are black or white!
MJ的呼籲...但是即便是高科技高文化如此的現代,
歧視,卻仍然是存在有的迂腐思想,像血液DNA遺傳般地無法單元化.
再多麼地試圖奈米它,自卑跟自大永遠都無法消弭兩者之間的空間感.
不
,我也不敢再相信人們的勇氣跟潛力.
能堅定地維持純白,抗衡黑暗嗎?
能如此有雅量地,無私地,無鄙視地對待所有人類族群嗎?
在那麼多與世界的磨合中,大多數的人們都與撒旦妥協了.
誰像我因為失去的傷悲和自責反省心的悲觀主義
而源源不絕....驅使我熱情地追尋人性本善的樂觀夢想!?
沒有,
沒有人.
我很堅強很勇敢,
對於必須面對的奇怪,我還是面對了.
卻還是屢被不以為然,
我不覺得撒旦們醜陋奇怪,它們倒是嫌棄起我的innocence
每每屢勸我不該再那麼夢幻不切實際,曲高和寡了…
當白色的天使,就無法在大量充斥著灰色與黑色的現實社會夾縫中生存嗎?
我期待的Neverland,我夢境中的Wonerland,
七彩的飛馬,獨角獸,真愛,純潔,真的都不存在嗎?
可是我一直一直都dream of..
親愛的,
你會一樣說我太執著死心眼嗎?
不停地信仰愛,尋找夢奇地,夢幻莊園,和莊主…
我可不可以一直都是純白色的畫紙,只喜歡一個畫家,會替我著上的繽紛!
只有你,孤獨如你的小王子,孤獨如我的玫瑰花,
才可以體會狐狸說的馴服關係.
對我來說,你就是獨一無二的,You are one of the kind.
對你來說,我也是獨一無二的嗎? Shall I be unique in all the world to You?
兩個創傷相似靈魂的characters,會互相地理解慰藉?還是害怕借鏡的彼此逃避呢?
是阿...小王子常常說他是孤獨的,連他的玫瑰花,也是孤傲的...
在他離開了他的B-612號星球,離開了他唯一的那朵玫瑰花後,
他才對聖修伯理傾訴:
“I ought not have to listen to her.
One never ought to listen to the flowers.
One should simply look at them and breathe their fragrance.
Mine perfumed all my planet.
But I did not know how to take pleasure in all her grace.
This tale of claws, which disturbed me so much,
should only have filled my heart with tenderness and pity.”
“ 我不應該聽信她的話,
人絕不應該聽花兒的話,(她自我防衛,偽裝的話).
人只應該觀賞她們,聞她們的芳香.
我這朵花使我整個星球充滿了香氣,
但是我不知道如何從她的嬌美中得到快樂.
這個利爪的故事,令我非常不安,
其實我心中,應該只充滿關愛和憐憫才是呀.”
關於玫瑰花,總是嬌傲地伸出利爪,花刺,
很高調地對小王子抱怨揖趾揖氣的聲勢,
像Michael一定要有的天王排場,
像你對我的理智冷靜,
其實是多麼因為自覺謙虛渺小,
才用陣仗來支撐自己的fragile, delicate trust towards the world
關於小王子,老是不夠快樂任性地蠻橫,
很玉石俱焚地對玫瑰花負氣遷怒,
像社會大眾對Michael的judgements,
像我曾給你的要求跟負擔,
其實是多麼地自負自我的膨漲,
才用言語情份來綁住應該屬於你自己的carefree, boundless love to the life.
"The fact is that I didn't know how to understand anything!
I ought to have judeged by deeds and not by words.
Sh ought have cast her fragrance and her radiance over me.
I ought never have run away from her...
I ought to have guessed all the afffection that lay behind her poor little stratagems.
Flowers are so inconsistent!
But I was too young to know how to love her..."
"事實上是我不知道怎樣去瞭解事情,
我應該以行為而非言語來做判斷,
她向我施放她的芳香和光彩
我真不應該逃避她...
我應該猜出她那可憐的小計謀後面所隱藏的感情,
花兒是如此矛盾阿!
但是我太年輕了,不知道如何去愛她..."
當時我太年輕,太愚蠢
不知道如何用我的心去感受,
只一直用眼睛跟耳朵在質疑眼見的愛情和主觀自我的幸福
所以我老是在批判所謂的戀愛模式,
那可能就是我的致命缺點吧!
在我評論愛情之前,我應該認真無怨無悔,不忮不求地試著先努力付出愛....
你是我的幸福嗎?
不用問的問題.
因為You absolutely are!
Michael Jackson,"Before you judge me, try hard to love me."
CHILDHOOD
童年 (Theme from “Free Willy 2”)

In the lost and found of my heart... 也陷入過心靈的得失之No one understands me 瞭解我的人仍未出現
They view it as such strange eccentricities...人們認為我做著古怪的表演
'Cause I keep kidding around 只因我總顯出出孩子般的一面
Like a child, but pardon me... 但請對我寬容一點
People say I'm not okay 有人說我不正常很明顯
'Cause I love such elementary things... 就因為我對簡單自然的愛戀
It's been my fate to compensate, 補償我從未有過的童年
for the Childhood 卻是註定的命運
I've never known... 擺在我的面前
Have you seen my Childhood? 你可見過我的童年
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth 我正在尋覓兒時的歡樂瞬間
Like pirates and adventurous dreams, 比如海盜和征服冒險
Of conquest and kings on the throne... 寶座上的國王你是否也曾夢見
Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
請試著喜歡我,在你對我做出判斷之前
Look within your heart then ask, 審視你的內心,向自己發問
Have you seen my Childhood? 你可見過我的童年
People say I'm strange that way 有人說我有奇特的表現
'Cause I love such elementary things, 就因為我對簡單自然的愛戀
It's been my fate to compensate, 補償我從未有過的童年
for the Childhood 卻是註定的命運
I've never known... 擺在我的面前
Have you seen my Childhood? 你可見過我的童年

Like fantastical stories to share 好像分享幻想故事還有神仙
The dreams I would dare, watch me fly...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
請試著喜歡我,在你對我做出判斷之前
The painful youth I've had 我痛苦的兒時記憶仍在綿延
Have you seen my Childhood.... 你可見過我的童年
Before we judge him,
the media and the ordinary people need to be judged, to reflect themselves.
Before I doubt your true heart,
I am the one who should be doubted
why I was lacking of trust and saw your invisible love without my heart
but with those useless eyes blocked by my fake eyelashes.
Before I asked if you did love me,
I should have asked myself whether I was that much sincere to you as you were to me.
I finally realized,
hoping it's not too late to let you know my faith this time with my heart, not eyes--
You are so kind, so gentle to me,so caring for me,
and I found the need to strengthen myself to protect you in return
in any way
as you have been doing to me
My Dearest Little Prince,
let me feed you back to be your Little Princess this time.
Being sweet, pure, thoughtful, considerate,and caring for you anytime,
I would like myself beocme dependable for you to count on in the rest of your life.
You don't have to marry me, I don't have to ask for a promise of you.
You will have your own true love and happiness eventually, while I will have mine.
Yet
You will always have me
regardlesss of being in any form,any way, nor in any relationship.
We are an unlikely couple -- odd, yet extremely close friends.
If I ever begged for a chance
to have those two relationships meet each other in coincidence,
it was just selfish and self-willed of me to push you to.
as the people got to say sorry to Michael.
I got to say sorry to you, My Little Prince.
Thank you, Michael, for your songs gave me a lesson that I could know my Prince more.
Thank you, My Little Prince, for you told me that you missed me so much too.
You both are so akin to each other
I love you two so much that I will always remember you.
I'll be there wherever you go,
I am here with you whenever your heart falls
so that
You are
Not alone.
You are Not Alone 你並不孤單
Another day has gone
美好的日子已經遠去了
I'm still all alone

How could this be
You're not here with me
你沒有與我在一起,我該如何獨自過活
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
別人告訴我有關於你從未對我道別的緣故
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
你是否真得要離開我,在你走後我的世界變得如此的冷淡
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
