Michael Jackson Hoax Death

I watched this last night when it was on. To me Uri totally gave off the impression that he used MJ for his fame, that he was in awe of him, he speaks about him as the most famous man in the world (which he obviously is but if he was your friend wouldn't you just say he was a wonderful man?) I feel like he used MJ for his own causes (publicity, book signings etc). He was very contrived and I like him even less than I did before. Like MJ even more now though, he's such a gentleman, and very funny and just seems really quite down to earth. I don't think Uri should have made this programme, but hey I'm sure it earned him a few bob

Yeah i watched that last night. I wasn't impressed at all. I didn't think they were kind at all. Was a show of Michael's mishaps or what. They could have showed clips of all the charity work he did, being he was a friend. No they showed clips of a young girl stating she thought he was a wax work. The embarssing moment in the Houses of Parliment where Michael wanted to sit down in an MP's seat, although that did make me chuckle. The slip up at Paddington station. the fact that Michael was late for Uri's vow renewal. The fact that Michael wanted a knighthood the list goes on.

The other stuff was all about Michael being at his book launches, and that he thought Michael was handsome when he came out of the bathroom. wish i was a fly on the wall that day. sorry momontary lapse of concentration there.(see the video clip if you want to know what i meant)

I was really hoping that i could get some more evidence that Michael is still alive from that programme, but there was none that i could see.

Sorry Uri but that was a sham and the fact that you introduced Bashir to Michael didn't go down too well with me. I didn't realise that uri did that.

I agree. The programme really annoyed me. I was so angry at the girl who mocked Michael's appearance. I mean was there really any reason to put that in there apart from to belittle him? It's not like it was an intrical part of the story that was being told! the same with the Houses of Parliment thing. I did laugh as well because I probably would have done the same thing and Uri made Michael sound like he was desperate to get a knighthood. I mean did he have to mention so many times that he kept asking if the Queen was at the Houses of Parliment? IMO no he didn't!

I think this was just an excuse for Uri to get back in the spotlight. His “fame” has dwindled in the last few years (possibly because he was no longer in contact with Michael) and he wanted to jump on the bandwagon which is incredibly shameful and sad. If he thought it was in any way a vindication of introducing Michael to Martin Bashir then I'm afraid he didn't pull it off!
