The Hulk trains Michael Jackson ahead of London concerts

Michael Jackson will need to be supremely fit to perform a series of 50 shows in London starting next month. The dates are fast approaching. Who better to get the so-called Kinmichael-jacksong of Pop into royal shape than bodybuilder and actor Lou Ferrigno, who was known for having fast-growing muscles playing The Incredible Hulk on television in decades past.

Ferrigno’s wife, Carla, on Thursday told Reuters that her husband has been helping Jackson train in advance of the shows.

“He’s known Michael 15 years,” Carla Ferrigno said. “He used to train him a long time ago and now he’s doing it again.”

 The only question is, will the Ferrigno workouts allow Michael Jackson to mimic the Hulk’s ability to turn into a man of brawn within seconds of getting angry? That would be a show ranking right up there with the headlock Ferrigno put on actor Jason Segel in this year’s movie “I Love You, Man.”

Michael Jackson If tears could bring you back to life
If a good chef would know what meals to cook for you to be that life healthy
If a genuine woman would love and behold you without the flashing of societies ‘ camera of slanders
If you had said To God be the glory in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I am healed
The backbiters jaws would be locked like the bars of the seven seas and
We would have no tears to shed.

If tears could bring you back we would filled your land with eye water some would cried, cried less
If doctors would only have humans at heart,
Hearts of flesh with love pumping in their veins they would have refused
To knifed your face like scaling dead fishes for the frying pans
If greedy medical life takers would just
Teach you how to survive off laboratory poisons
If only your life was at the place of escape into God’s care
No need mark would have pierced your give up heart and
We would have no tears to shed,: No, not this year, June 2009

If the pastors had sought to give a word from the Good old bible and say “Michael
REPENT, for the kingdom of heaven is a hand”
Today, none would be wondering IF You made it to heaven or hell
Only time know well
Michael Jackson earth’s musical GENIUS gifted by God, the
Giver of Life
Michael, God made you a warrior like King Solomon
You had Music and musical creation and a
Heart for human kind that was made of flesh
Michael Jackson you were God’s creation
But now you sleep from the life takers of your every circumstance.

Neighbours closed their arms from helping you
Bound up in self and Kingly social life
Were you swept away and could see the way, to your Creator?
Herbal medicine, Good food from God’s green Pastures,
Water from the well of life plus
A woman with a Christ life heart for your wife
So many regrets as you sleep on in death.
No more do you live in hide and cover up from the storms around you
Children you do bear still life remains seems your nightmare.

Now we have nothing in our arms of being among you
But air, air of loss of another life
A Genius now to go to the dust
We thank you for your input to shaping our worlds
Injecting care, values and quality and the inspired drive and zest
To go on to achieve our dreams, reach our destinations
For our tears will some how flow
Knowing many loved you so
If only as neighbours we take time to care
Michael Jackson would have been alive right here!

Everyone…Just remember one thing…We all have skeletons in the closet and can keep them secretive, Michael, because of his fame and fortune could not keep his life a secret from the world…This is sad that anyone should have to be tortured in life and now even after death…People…Say what you will, but Michael was a great performer and a decent, giving, generous man…I grew up to his music and really got to experience the music when i was about 12 yrs old, trying to dance like him and finally learning some of his moves, just like millions of his fans did…May the Lord bless him and keep him…May the Lord be with his family and his children in this their greatest time of need…All these people trash talking should be ashamed of their selves because most people were taught at a very young age ” If you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, don’t say anything at all ” May you finally rest in peace Michael…Your legacy will live on forever and ever…

I remember thinking what a talentless hack this guy was when I was a teenager and just HATING his music. Now I realize that I underestimated his lack talent and just who mindless everything he ever did actually was!

I would just like to remind all those who criticize Michael Jackson and his life that he was one of the first artists to make significant contributions to social causes as well as a plentitude of financial contributions to various charities and he did this 20 years ago before it became trendy or a public relations requirement. He did it out of the unending generosity of his heart. I respectfully wish that he truly rests in peace away from the clutches of the evil media.

It is unbelievable that Mr.Michale Jackson had his last breath. It is a great loss to the world not only to the music lovers but to the millions of people know about his achievements. His achievements are forever inspires the people of all the fields.

May his soul rests in peace.

It saddens me that the news is full of rehashes of all the scandal and gossip about Michael Jackson. The surgery, bizarre behaviour, etc.etc.etc ad nausea.
Just take a moment to stop and think of his life.
From a very young age, he was controlled by first his dominant father, then by music moguls and now, it seems, by his personal physicians.
His life was never his own.
It is no wonder that he was compelled to change his appearance because it was the only thing that truly belonged to him alone.
Much like an anorexic or self harmer.
It saddens me to think how this boy was exploited right into manhood.
Let him be at peace at last.

This news is soo heart breaking. I think that Micheal Jackson’s show which was suppose to be stage in London should still go on. The show should be performed by his most love,true, sincere and influenced musicians as well as his siblings perhaps so that Fan can live his legacy on stage all over again. It might not be the same with him not around but the mind can imagine a lot of things with words of music. This will be the most important tribute musician can give to him as it was his wish to perform for his funs, it was the come back of the King of Pop. But death took him unexpectedly, Performing his music will be the greatest, outmost respect anyone can give to him. Fullfilling his desire to perform on stage after many years. Anyone who can make this happen should PLEASE collaborate this last tribute. I will always remember him. MAX LOVE
