Anybody up in Kansas City?
It's billed as the Jackson victory tour,
meaning the whole family, but it's
Michael. The crowd came to see Michael
singing, Michael dancing, Michael doing
just about anything.
Every movement, every word brought
screams from the sellout crowd.
Michael was enough, but the Jacksons
added a complex laser light show.
Spider robots, smoke and fireworks.
He's great. He can he's he's in
supernatural mode.
It was excellent. The music was great.
But I expect to stop it from victory.
But it was excellent on stage.
It was a polished performance, exuding an
air of excitement.
But the Jackson tour is still plagued by
disorganized management, exuding an air
of arrogance.
Opening night brought countless media
representatives.
They were restricted in movement and
given limited access to information.
One staffer told reporters, You need us,
we don't need you.
Some Kansas City concert goers felt that
attitude might apply to them, too.
I was disappointed. I think it was long
enough that they didn't play Thriller
Pretty ABC, some of their best songs.
It was hype so much and they didn't I
don't think they lived up to the billing
and the Michael Jackson because there
wasn't no T-shirt for little
kids like me.
Metroplex residents will have an
opportunity to judge for themselves next
Friday, Saturday and Sunday when the
Jackson Victory Tour comes to Texas
Stadium. Jan Kimbrough, Channel 5 News.
