Meet me in st. louis christmas song. Meet me in st louis watch online. I suspect I didn't give "Meet Me in St. Louis" the attention it fully deserved.
Sometimes, the words Technicolor, musical, Golden Age don't necessarily hit a sensitive chord and I blame it on the Millennial side of me, too blasé and hungry of modern significance. I could watch "The Wizard of Oz" for its status as an iconic classic, A Star is Born" for its relevance and place in Judy Garland's filmography. But Vincente Minnelli's ode to Saint Louis never caught my attention despite its more than respectable reputation. And now that I saw it, and that I digested it, I realize how misinformed I was and I suspect this is a film I might want to watch again.
This is one of these pitch-proof movie where you keep waiting for something to happen. yet you realize that's not even the point. Indeed, who needs plot when you have the Smithes? This is a family full of such colorful characters that there's no room whatsoever for any plot or pre-written arc. Why should it anyway? Adapted from the happy memories of Sally "Tootie" Benson (yes, told from the little one's standpoint) the film displays such an exhilarating form of happiness that spoiling it with a plot would be a cinematic sin.
So let's visit the family! Leon Ames is Mr. Smith, father of one son and four daughters including Rose (Lucille Bremer) the second oldest Esther (Judy Garland) and the youngest one, Tootie (Margaret O'Brien) Mrs. Smith (Mary Astor) endure their shenanigans valiantly while they can count on the support of their cool and hilarious grandpa (Henry Davenport. These are the Smiths and as soon as they appear on the screen, we're literally caught in their communicative amiability and optimism with the opening theme of the same title.
"Meet Me in Saint Louis" belongs to these vignette family-themed movies such as "Amarcord" or "Radio Days" where it's just about getting a mood and feeling part of a loving community rather than watching something happening. And just when you think something ought to happen, false alarm, a new song pops up again to lift your spirit up and puts you in the most cheerful mood, even the "straight" sister Rose is fun to watch, especially during her shining moment where she gets quite a brush from her correspondent. And everything's in good spirit, no character is laughed at but rather laughed with.
The closest to a plot comes when Mr. Smith announces to the family that they're going to move to New York and the decision is irrevocable, by the time it happens, we got used to the seasonal enchantment of the city and can't imagine the Smiths anywhere outside St. Louis. Even New York resonates like a place of doom for the family, but it's deliberate since the film is a postcard recollection of middle-upper class family, from the perspective of Tootie, only spiced up with adult and romantic subplot and unforgettable musical numbers that were the perfect vehicles for Judy Garland.
If "Meet Me in Saint Louis" is incredibly catchy, it's nothing compared to the "Trolley Song" and of course the "Have Yourself a merry Little Christmas" that became Hollywood standards and among Garland's signatures. The two songs, listed in the AFI's Top 100, convey two opposite emotions: joy and sheer sadness, the excitement of being part of a city and the resignation before living, the Christmas moment is particularly heartbreaking as it allows Margaret O'Brien to implode her full acting power and make thousands of souls cry with empathetic tears. That the comic relief of the film, that bratty little kid could pull off such a masterful performance is one of the unexpected effects of the film. She would deservedly win an Academy Juvenile Award for her incredible performance.
I can go over and over about the film, its merit is to be so blatantly cheerful, never indulging to cheap thrills, even the love stories are sweetly naïve and idealistic, almost surreal but fitting for a fantasy picture whose purpose is to highlight the real thing about th film: family ties, and the bonds between sisters or parents and grandparents, the film is a non-stop delight, that can be regarded as itsch or campy but I find it more straightforward and honest than Minnelli' An American in Paris. In a way, it's a fine companion piece to Judy Garland's Wizard of Oz with the same conclusion that there's no place like home. and sometimes, we don't cherish enough the place we live in.
My only complaint is Garland's awful hairstyle, was she trying to imitate Katharine Hepburn or what.

Meet Me In St. Louis is one of the most daring and poignant film musicals. There is convention: it moves along like family life - from one season to another, and the plot seems nothing more than the way young people in a large provincial town fall in and out of love, and the rather remorseless way in which marriage closes in on them. So this is, in fact, a picture made by some smart, cosmopolitan people about the abiding charm of home, stasis and the lack of alteration, none of which is particularly or famously American. Yet the best songs in the film - like 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. are poised on the edge of loss. The enchanted moments, like the front parlour cakewalk, are tributes to nostalgia and the undying light of memory that sustains it. There are so many things to be enchanted by: the pretty tableaux that stride into life, the amber fall of Esther's hair, the songs, Judy, the vibrant colour, and Judy being gazed upon by director Vincente Minnelli for the summer in which there was nothing wrong or awkward. Of course, none of that lasted: the marriage, Judy and the Technicolor all perished. People usually pass over the stories that musicals are trying to tell; the appeal of the genre is in the songs and dance.
Meet Me in St. Louis Theatrical poster Directed by Vincente Minnelli Produced by Arthur Freed Screenplay by Irving Brecher Fred F. Finklehoffe Based on Meet Me in St. Louis by Sally Benson Starring Judy Garland Margaret O'Brien Mary Astor Lucille Bremer Tom Drake Marjorie Main Music by George Stoll Cinematography George J. Folsey Edited by Albert Akst Production company Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Distributed by Loew's, Inc. Release date November 22, 1944 (St. Louis) [1] February 28, 1945 (United States) Running time 113 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $1, 885, 000 [2] Box office $6, 566, 000 (original release) $12, 800, 000 [3] Meet Me in St. Louis is a 1944 American Technicolor musical film made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Divided into a series of seasonal vignettes, starting with Summer 1903, it relates the story of a year in the life of the Smith family in St. Louis, leading up to the opening of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (more commonly referred to as the World's Fair) in the spring of 1904. [4] [5] The picture stars Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien, Mary Astor, Lucille Bremer, Tom Drake, Leon Ames, Marjorie Main, June Lockhart, and Joan Carroll. The film was adapted by Irving Brecher and Fred F. Finklehoffe from a series of short stories by Sally Benson, originally published in The New Yorker magazine under the title "5135 Kensington", and later in novel form as Meet Me in St. Louis. The film was directed by Vincente Minnelli, who met Garland on the set and later married her. It was the second-highest grossing picture of the year, only behind Going My Way. [6] In 1994, the film was deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. Garland debuted the standards " The Trolley Song ", "The Boy Next Door", and " Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas ", all of which became hits after the film was released. Arthur Freed, the producer of the film, also wrote and performed one of the songs. Plot [ edit] Margaret O'Brien and Judy Garland in Meet Me in St. Louis The backdrop for the film is St. Louis, Missouri in the year leading up to the 1904 World's Fair. It is summer 1903. The Smith family leads a comfortable upper-middle class life. Alonzo Smith ( Leon Ames) and his wife Anna ( Mary Astor) have four daughters: Rose ( Lucille Bremer), Esther ( Judy Garland), Agnes ( Joan Carroll), and Tootie ( Margaret O'Brien); and a son, Lon Jr. (Henry H. Daniels, Jr. ). Esther, the second eldest daughter, is in love with the boy next door, John Truitt ( Tom Drake), although he does not notice her at first. Rose is expecting a phone call during which she hopes to be proposed to by Warren Sheffield (Robert Sully), and is embarrassed when not only does Warren fail to propose, but the entire family is present as she takes the call during dinner. Esther finally gets to meet John properly when he is a guest at the Smiths' house party, although her chances of romancing him don't go as planned when, after all the guests are gone and he is helping her turn off the gas lamps throughout the house, he tells her she uses the same perfume as his grandmother and that she has "a mighty strong grip for a girl. " Esther hopes to meet John again the following Friday on a trolley ride from the city to the construction site of the World's Fair. Esther is sad when the trolley sets off without any sign of him, but cheers up when she sees him running to catch the trolley mid-journey. On Halloween, Tootie returns home injured, claiming that John Truitt attacked her. Without bothering to investigate, Esther confronts John, physically attacking him and scolding him for being a "bully. " When Esther returns home, Tootie confesses that what really happened was that John was trying to protect Tootie and Agnes from the police after a dangerous prank they pulled went wrong. Upon learning the truth, Esther immediately dashes to John's house next door to apologize, and they share their first kiss. Mr. Smith announces to the family that he is to be sent to New York City on business and they will all move after Christmas. The family is devastated and upset at the news of the move, especially Rose and Esther whose romances, friendships, and educational plans are threatened. Esther is also aghast because they will miss the World's Fair. An elegant ball takes place on Christmas Eve. Esther is devastated when John cannot take her as his date, due to his leaving his tuxedo at the tailor's and being unable to get it back. She is relieved, however, when her grandfather ( Harry Davenport) offers to take her to the ball instead. At the ball, Esther and Rose plot to ruin the evening of Warren's date and Rose's rival Lucille Ballard ( June Lockhart) by filling up her dance card with losers. But when Lucille turns out to be interested in Lon, leaving Rose and Warren together, Esther switches her dance card with Lucille's and instead dances in Lucille's place with the clumsy and awkward partners. After being rescued by Grandpa, Esther is overjoyed when John unexpectedly turns up after somehow managing to obtain a tuxedo, and the pair dance together for the rest of the evening. Later on, John proposes to Esther and she accepts, but their future is uncertain because she must still move to New York. Esther returns home to an upset Tootie. She is soothed by the poignant "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. " Tootie, however, becomes more upset at the prospect of the family's move and runs downstairs, out into the cold to destroy the snowmen they have made. Mr. Smith sees his daughter's upsetting outburst from an upstairs window. Mr. Smith later announces that the family will not leave St. Louis after all when he realizes how much the move will affect his family. Warren boldly declares his love for Rose, stating that they will marry at the first possible opportunity. On or after April 30, 1904, the family take two horse-drawn buggies to the World's Fair. The film ends that night with the entire family (including John, Lucille, and Warren) overlooking the Grand Lagoon at the center of the World's Fair just as thousands of lights illuminate the grand pavilions. Cast [ edit] Music [ edit] The musical score for the film was adapted by Roger Edens, who also served as an uncredited associate producer. Georgie Stoll conducted the orchestrations of Conrad Salinger. Some of the songs in the film are from around the time of the St. Louis Exposition. Others were written for the movie. " Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis " Kerry Mills and Andrew B. Sterling, 1904 " The Boy Next Door ", Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, 1944, performed by Judy Garland. " Skip to My Lou ", Traditional, with section sung to the tunes of " Kingdom Coming " and " Yankee Doodle " arranged by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, 1944 "I Was Drunk Last Night, " performed by Margaret O'Brien.

"Over the Banister, " 19th-century melody adapted by Conrad Salinger, lyrics from the 1888 poem "Over the Banisters" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, adapted by Roger Edens (1944), performed by Judy Garland. " The Trolley Song ", Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, 1944, performed by Chorus and Judy Garland. "You and I, " Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed, sung by Arthur Freed and D. Markas, dubbing for Leon Ames and Mary Astor. " Goodbye, My Lady Love ", (Instrumental), Joseph E. Howard, 1904. " Little Brown Jug ", (Instrumental), Joseph Winner, 1869.

" Auld Lang Syne ", (Instrumental) " The First Noel ", (Instrumental) " Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas ", Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, 1944, performed by Judy Garland. The lyrics for "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" were originally different. The lyricist, Hugh Martin, wrote opening lyrics which were deemed too depressing by Judy Garland, Tom Drake, and Vincente Minnelli (they were: "Have yourself a merry little Christmas / It may be your last / Next year we may all be living in the past"), so Martin changed the lyrics. (Years after the movie's release, additional lyric changes were made for Frank Sinatra, who objected to the song's generally downbeat tone. The most notable changes included "Next year" becoming "From now on", "Once again, as in olden days / Happy golden days of yore / Faithful friends that were dear to us / Will be near to us once more" becoming "Here we are, as in olden days / Happy golden days of yore / Faithful friends that are dear to us / Gather near to us once more", and "Someday soon we all will be together / If the fates allow / Until then we'll just have to muddle through somehow" becoming "Through the years we all will be together / If the fates allow / Hang a shining star upon the highest bough". This revised version is the one now most commonly performed. ) Deleted song [ edit] Garland's pre-recording of "Boys and Girls Like You and Me" survives today, but the cut film footage has been lost. This song was originally composed by Rodgers & Hammerstein for their Broadway musical Oklahoma! but cut prior to its opening. [7] [8] Reception [ edit] Upon its 1944 release, Meet Me in St. Louis was a massive critical and commercial success. During its initial theatrical release, it earned a then-massive $5, 016, 000 in the US and Canada and $1, 550, 000 elsewhere resulting in a profit of $2, 359, 000. [2] The film was a New York Times Critics' Pick: after seeing it at the Astor Theatre, Bosley Crowther called it "a warm and beguiling picturization based on Sally Benson's memoirs of her folks... The Smiths and their home, in Technicolor, are eyefuls of scenic delight, and the bursting vitality of their living inspires you like vitamin A. Miss Garland is full of gay exuberance as the second sister of the lot and sings, as we said, with a rich voice that grows riper and more expressive in each new film. Her chortling of "The Trolley Song" puts fresh zip into that inescapable tune, and her romantic singing of a sweet one, "The Boy Next Door, " is good for mooning folks. " [9] Crowther concludes: "As a comparable screen companion to Life With Father, we would confidently predict that Meet Me in St. Louis has a future that is equally bright. In the words of one of the gentlemen, it is a ginger-peachy show. " Time called it "one of the year's prettiest pictures"; " Technicolor has seldom been more affectionately used than in its registrations of the sober mahoganies and tender muslins and benign gaslights of the period. Now & then, too, the film gets well beyond the charm of mere tableau for short flights in the empyrean of genuine domestic poetry. These triumphs are creditable mainly to the intensity and grace of Margaret O'Brien and to the ability of director Minnelli & Co. to get the best out of her. " [10] O'Brien drew further praise from Time; " [her] song and her cakewalk done in a nightgown at a grown-up party, are entrancing acts. Her self-terrified Halloween adventures richly set against firelight, dark streets, and the rusty confabulations of fallen leaves, bring this section of the film very near the first-rate. " Writing in The New Yorker, Wolcott Gibbs praised the film as "extremely attractive" and called the dialogue "funny in a sense rather rare in the movies, " although he thought it was too long. [11] In 2005, Richard Schickel included the film on 's ALL-TIME 100 best films, saying "It had wonderful songs [and] a sweetly unneurotic performance by Judy spite its nostalgic charm, Minnelli infused the piece with a dreamy, occasionally surreal, darkness and it remains, for some of us, the greatest of American movie musicals. " [12] Arthur Freed: " Meet Me in St. Louis is my personal favourite. I got along wonderfully with Judy, but the only time we were ever on the outs was when we did this film. She didn't want to do the picture. Even her mother came to me about it. We bumped into some trouble with some opinions – Eddie Mannix, the studio manager, thought the Halloween sequence was wrong, but it was left in. There was a song that Rodgers and Hammerstein had written, called Boys and Girls Like You and Me, that Judy did wonderfully, but it slowed up the picture and it was cut out. After the preview of the completed film, Judy came over to me and said, "Arthur remind me not to tell you what kind of pictures to make. " [It] was the biggest grosser Metro had up to that time, except for Gone With the Wind. " [13] The film currently holds a 100% "Fresh" rating on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 33 reviews with an average score of 8. 69/10. [14] The site's critics consensus for the film reads, "A disarmingly sweet musical led by outstanding performances from Judy Garland and Margaret O'Brien, Meet Me in St. Louis offers a holiday treat for all ages. " [14] Accolades [ edit] The film was nominated for four Academy Awards: Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Color, Best Music, Scoring of a Musical Picture, and Best Music, Song (Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin for " The Trolley Song "). Margaret O'Brien received an Academy Juvenile Award for her work that year, in which she appeared in several movies along with Meet Me in St. Louis. In 1994, the film was deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. The American Film Institute ranked the film 10th on AFI's Greatest Movie Musicals; two songs from the film made AFI's 100 Years... 100 Songs (" The Trolley Song " at #26 and " Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas " at #76). Gerald Kaufman wrote a study of the film, with the same title, which was published by the British Film Institute in 1994. Adaptations [ edit] Meet Me in St. Louis was remade in 1959 for television, starring Jane Powell, Jeanne Crain, Patty Duke, Walter Pidgeon, Ed Wynn, Tab Hunter and Myrna Loy. It was directed by George Schaefer from the original Brecher and Finklehoffe screenplay. Meet Me in St. Louis was remade again for television in 1966. This was a non-musical version starring Shelley Fabares, Celeste Holm, Larry Merrill, Judy Land, Reta Shaw, Tammy Locke and Morgan Brittany. It was directed by Alan D. Courtney from a script written by Sally Benson herself. This was to be a pilot for a TV series, but no network picked it up. It was later included as a special feature on the 2 disc DVD set released in 2004. A Broadway musical based on the film was produced in 1989, with additional songs. The late-19th century vintage carousel in this movie could be found at the Boblo Island Amusement Park in Amherstburg, Ontario until the park closed in September 1993. It was dismantled and sold to private collectors. Movie references [ edit] The Family Stone (2005) shows two partial scenes from the movie; one where Esther and John dance, and another where Esther sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" to Tootie. Deck the Halls (2006) shows Steve ( Matthew Broderick) watching the scene where Esther sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" to Tootie and she bashes the snowmen. Steve is depressed that his family left him and watching this scene in the film makes him only more upset. Sex and the City (2008) shows Carrie's ( Sarah Jessica Parker) assistant, Louise from St. Louis, give her a DVD of the film as a Christmas gift, and later shows Carrie watching a bit of "The Trolley Song". The film is also divided into a series of seasonal vignettes following the same format as Meet Me in St. Louis. References [ edit] ^ "Meet Me in St. Louis". American Film Institute.

In preparation for this salacious and slanderous “documentary” airing on a few platforms this year, I think it’s important to have readily available information for those who want to seek the facts about the allegations against Michael Jackson, and why his fans believe in his innocence and do not believe the lies of the people involved. The director Dan Reed’s claim to fame is a documentary called “The Pedophile Hunter” about a vigilante “activist” who accuses people of being pedophiles without a trial. (Since news of Leaving Neverland broke, the “star” of that film has taken to harassing Michael’s family on Twitter. ) Reed seems more interested in finding targets and boogeymen, not in finding the truth, as he’s even admitted to not interviewing anyone from the defense. MUST READ ALL OF THE ISSUES WITH LEAVING NEVERLAND AND THE CLAIMS MADE IN IT Wade Robson and Jimmy Safechuck have previously defended Michael Jackson against these types of claims, insisting under penalty of perjury that he never touched them or molested them. Lower down you’ll see why Wade seems to have decided to bring about these allegations now and why it appears he is lying. In the era of fake news, social justice warriors, and keyboard activism, we should all know better by now to check sources, to not spread fake news, not to jump to conclusions until both sides are heard, and how irresponsible false allegations are. Sundance, HBO and Channel 4 (the last two of which seem to be directly involved in the production and creation of this “documentary”) are being irresponsible by giving a platform to such obvious lies against a man who is no longer here to defend himself, and who was found Not Guilty in a court of law. Regarding the 1993 Jordan Chandler Allegations: A quintessential and highly thorough article by Mary Fischer, written for GQ in 1994, that eventually went on to be published as a book- Was Michael Jackson Framed? Redemption by Geraldine Hughes - Which is a book written by a legal assistant who worked inside the office of the Chandlers attorney who witnessed the blackmail and financial extortion against Jackson About Evan Chandler — Michael was known to befriend entire “average” families; the parents and the children, both boys and girls. Why he did this, we could speculate for days. Michael has always expressed loneliness and a regret about how he missed a normal childhood or how he lacked a loving father figure in his life - and he even said that at the height of Thriller, he would aimlessly walk the street at night asking if strangers would be his friend. It’s undeniable that because of his career and stardom starting at such a young age, he never was able to just “be normal” and it’s likely his social skills suffered or were different from yours or mine. He would often call these friends and chat on the phone for hours at a time, give them free tickets to shows or invite them on set for music videos, he even sometimes went and stayed in their homes, and on some occasions he would invite the entire family to Neverland to ride the rides or play video games or pet the animals or ride horses. (Hardly ever did a child come to Neverland without the parents or entire family with them. ) Neverland was like an escape from the real world - a place for adults to act like kids, for sick children to do things they normally couldn’t, or for child stars, who had parents and managers pushing them to work, work, work, to have a place away from the public to just play and be a kid for a little while - something Michael never had and was extremely aware of. Michael befriended both adults and children alike. The Glenda Tapes, secretly recorded phone conversations done without Michael’s knowledge, show Michael chatting like an old friend with a woman who was older than himself, but Michael also talks to her children from time to time. For an example of how Michael spoke on the phone to these kids, listen to the Glenda Stein Tapes or a recorded phone conversation with Ryan White, a child who contracted AIDs from a blood transfusion who Michael helped very actively in his last few years of life. The reasons Michael liked to hang out with and play with young boys widely varies in examples, from Michael himself and from those who knew him. Either it was because he relives his childhood that he lost through them, or because Michael viewed children as pure and innocent and the future of the world, or because children didn’t treat him like a celebrity, or because children aren’t after money and fame or out to use Michael for their own gain, or it could be that because he was too focused on his career to marry and have children, that playing with and hanging out with someone else’s child was good enough in the meantime. Michael came from a very large family, and was very close with his brothers, often sharing beds, for years while they toured the world. Michael seemed to revert back to a child-like innocence and mischievous playfulness when he would play with these boys - some would say he acted like a kid himself. One of the families Michael befriended was the Chandler family. The parents, Evan and June, were divorced and going through bitter custody issues with Jordan. Michael spent much more time with June (there’s even very small circumstantial evidence that suggest Michael may have been having a relationship with June) and the children than Evan. Evan, perhaps jealous and resentful about this, concocted a plan to extort $20 million from Michael so he could break into the movie business. Evan had had a small brush with the industry by being involved with the movie Robin Hood: Men In Tights, but Evan wanted a bigger piece of the pie, and he wanted Michael to foot the bill to start a production company. Michael declined, and that’s when Evan contacted a ruthless lawyer to help blackmail Jackson into giving him the money with or without the movie company. The plan seemed simple - pay up, or I will accuse you of child molestation. Jordan’s step-father secretly recorded Evan conspiring to blackmail Michael over the phone. Carrie Fisher knew Evan before the allegations, as he was her “dentist”, and this is what she had to say about him in her book Shockaholic; "And so my “dentist” would go on and on about how much his son liked Michael Jackson and, more important, how much Michael Jackson liked his son. And the most disturbing thing I remember him saying was, “You know, my son is very good looking. ” Now I ask you—what father talks about his child that way? Well, maybe some do but (a) I don’t know them, and (b) they probably aren’t raising an eyebrow and looking suggestive when they say it. Over the years I’ve heard many proud fathers tell me, “My son is great, ” or “My kid is adorable, ” but this was the only time I’d ever heard this particular boast: “My son [unlike most average male offspring] is VERY [unsettling smile, raised eyebrows, maybe even a lewd wink] good-looking [pause for you to reflect and/or puke]. ” It was grotesque! This man was letting me know that he had this valuable thing that he assumed Michael Jackson wanted, and it happened to be his son. But it wasn’t who his son was, it was what he was: “good-looking. ” Carrie went on to say: “The thing is, though, I never thought that Michaels whole thing with kids was sexual. Never. Granted, it was miles from appropriate, but just because it wasnt normal doesnt mean that it had to be perverse. ” The events that happened after Michael refused to help Evan start a production company happened quickly. Evan kidnapped Jordan, held him over his custody time limit, essentially holding him hostage from June. Evan put Jordan under anesthesia for dental work, reported to be Sodium Amytal (aka “truth serum” which has extensively been proven to alter a person's memories or place false memories that once awoken, the patient would 100% believe were real), and claims THAT is when Jordan finally revealed the truth, after months of swearing Michael never did anything to him. Evan sued, and quickly negotiated many money settlement offers about movie deals or his long-desired production company to make the allegations go away quietly. Michael refused, and the allegations were made public. If Michael wanted to pay to make the allegations go away, he could have done so now and no one would ever know. But he wanted to fight, and he didn’t want to pay them a dime. At this time, Michael had a lot on his plate. He was preparing for a major world tour, he was having very excruciating procedures and surgeries done to reduce the burn scars on his scalp from a very serious burn in 1984, which required heavy pain medication. He might have already begun secretly dating his future wife, Lisa Marie Presley. If these allegations were made public, they could directly affect his personal life and career and his finances. In fact, Michael’s career seemed to be skyrocketing. He had just released his album Dangerous, which had instant hits like Jam, Remember the Time, and Black or White. He performed at the President's Inauguration, he did the Super Bowl Halftime show which was watched by 133. 4 million people and is considered the most watched televised event in American history, his live interview with Oprah was watching by 90 million people, he had a new charity organization called “Heal the World” he was heavily active in fundraising for, and he had a huge multi-million dollar sponsorship deal with Pepsi for his tours and commercials. Michael was on top of the world and it seemed he would only keep rising. Once the allegations were made public, Pepsi pulled out of their sponsorship deal, Michael went to rehab to deal with his growing reliance on painkillers, and he had to cancel the rest of his tour. All while the press inundated the public with headlines and paid-for stories about Michael as a pedophile. The police got involved and the accusations went public. They began an investigation which involved very invasive surprise searches on his properties, including forcing Michael to submit to having photos taken of his genitals in a room full of strangers to compare them with the descriptions provided by Jordan and Evan. Despite widely reported statements that the description matched - it did not. Among many other inconsistencies like color and location of marks, the accusers said Michael was circumcised - and as proved by his autopsy, Michael was not. With the types of acts accused of Michael, this would have been an almost impossible fact to miss. The photos and description of Michael’s penis were never used in court. The police interviewed many friends and family. They interviewed a then 22 year old Corey Feldman, who as we now know, revealed to police that he WAS in fact molested, but not by Michael Jackson. He provided the name of his abuser to the police, and they seemed entirely disinterested in who he confided was his molester, and seemed more intent on getting anything and everything they could to take down Michael Jackson. He insisted that of all people Michael was one of the people in the industry who never molested him, even back in 1993. His story that Michael never molested him has never changed. For months Michael complied with the police investigation, planning on fighting the allegations in court, but the lawyers for the civil suit pushed the civil trial to happen before a criminal trial - which would have affected Michael’s 5th amendment rights in the criminal trial. So, under stress of an upcoming tour, loss of income, the low bar of “reasonable doubt” required for a civil case, and the fear of having his genitals displayed for the world to see - Michael, on the firm insistence of his legal counsel, settled the CIVIL SUIT with the Chandlers out of court. The official figures were not known for many years, but the media widely speculated that the amount ranged from anywhere between $6 million to $200 million. So in the end, Evan Chandler ended up getting exactly what he wanted - money. (Though later on, Jordan would file for emancipation from both of his parents, refuse to speak to his mother and file a restraining order against Evan. Evan committed suicide 5 months after Jackson’s death, and his will expressed “for reasons known privately between me and my sons, I have neglected to provide for them”) Despite common belief, the settlement DID NOT force the Chandlers to drop a criminal case against Michael. The civil settlement did not prevent the Chandlers from pressing criminal charges or the police from continuing their investigation. The Chandlers and Jordan, on their own free will, decided to completely stop cooperating with police once they got the money settlement. Despite trying twice, the police couldn’t even get a grand jury indictment on the evidence they had. This enraged Tom Sneddon, who went on to in fact create and get a law passed in California specifically designed to get Michael Jackson convicted on these charges. Tom Mesereau, Michael’s lawyer in the 2005 Trial, went on to say that settling was the worst decision Michael made. “It sent a message out to the world - Why work when you can sue Michael Jackson? ” About “Living With Michael Jackson” the Martin Bashir “Documentary”: Michael released a response to the biased Bashir TV Special called Take Two: The Footage You Were Never Meant to See Louis Theroux made a documentary for BBC simultaneous to the Bashir special, and it evolved into a story about how Michael’s friends and family take advantage of him, and how Michael was “sold” to Bashir by his “friend” Uri Geller. Louis, Martin, and Michael — The 2003 TV Special “Living with Michael Jackson” was directly responsible for the 2005 Trial. The entire world watched as a child laid his head on Michael’s shoulder (which, if you rewatch, you can tell didn’t come naturally and feels forced) while they sat there holding hands. (It has been said that Bashir himself instructed the two to hold hands. ) The boy goes on to tell a story, seemingly unprompted, of how he begged Michael to be able to sleep in his bed. Michael immediately adds “I slept on the floor” but goes on to say “Why can’t you share your bed? It’s the most loving thing you can do - share your bed with someone. ” The world lost its ever-loving mind. Somehow everyone completely ignored the fact that Michael slept on the floor while the boys slept on the bed, and instead believed that Michael in fact was begging boys to sleep in his bed with him. It was the opposite - Gavin and Star Arvizo pleaded with Michael to be able to sleep in his bed. Michael told them to ask their mother for permission, who then consented, and Michael slept on the floor while the boys slept on the bed. Frank Cascio, a long time friend of Michael’s from these same “average” families Michael would befriend and who went on to be his personal assistant, was there and corroborates Michael’s side of the story. He claims that Michael was suspicious and uneasy of how eager the boys were to sleep in his bed, and he instructed Frank to stay in the room with them. Frank and Michael slept on sleeping bags or piles of blankets on the floor while the boys slept in the bed. Corey Feldman also shares a similar story of how Michael would rather sleep on a roll-away cot than take the bed. Corey recounts how when they made an impromptu trip to Disneyland, they were stuck with the only hotel room left available, which was only a single bed room. Michael had a roll-away cot brought to the room and Michael insisted Corey sleep on the bed while Michael - motherfucking superstar and Thriller extraordinaire Michael Jackson - slept on the small, uncomfortable roll-away cot. Michael was always described as humble by those who met or knew him, and he had a very religious outlook on treating others better than yourself. “Sharing your bed” does not mean literally sleeping in the same bed as someone else at the same time, it could mean allowing a guest to have the bed while you sleep on the couch or floor. Many have suggested that Michael tended to be stubborn and dig his heels in, a possible holdover from his lack of control from his father and family growing up. Macaulay even said in an interview with Larry King, “he’s not very good at explaining himself - and he never really has been. ” Michael tried to make it clear that his intentions were not sexual in nature - that the world projected that twist onto it. People couldn’t put their finger on who exactly Michael was. Was he putting on that voice? Was he gay? Was he asexual? Was he trans? Did he hate his race? Was he trying to be white? Was he a manchild who was emotionally stunted? Or was he manipulative? People fear what they don’t understand. And to try and understand the enigma that was Michael Jackson, society at large decided he must be diddling kids, with absolutely no proof. Lisa Marie Presley went on to say that, to her, Michael appeared to be under the influence of something during this special. Lisa: And in those interviews, I saw him intoxicated. I didn’t see [the] Michael that I knew in that Martin Bashir interview. He was high as a kite from what I saw. And from what I knew. He was either too speedy, or he was sedated. It wasn’t the Michael that I knew. Oprah: He said some pretty shocking things in that Martin Bashir interview. Particularly about how he felt it was okay to sleep with young children. Lisa: I think he said that stuff sometimes to be defiant. ‘Cause he got so angry at having been accus- I think that sometimes he was such a little stubborn rebel sometimes and he was like a child and he would just say what he felt everyone didn’t want him to say. I don’t feel like he had a straight those things. And I think they were edited in a very, very manipulative nasty way. The TV Special “Living with Michael Jackson” was a smear job. Bashir lied to and deceived Michael into participating, saying that the special would highlight his humanitarian acts and his charity for children, and it would also make Jackson sympathetic to the public. Jackson has numerous times expressed a desire or attempted for the public to get to know him better and understand him - he believed that opening his soul to Bashir would quell rumors and the bad press that followed him wherever he went. In fact, footage that Michael recorded himself which he aired in his “Take Two” special, shows that Bashir blatantly lied and played Michael. Bashir directly contradicts what he goes on to say in the aired special, and he does nothing but lavish Michael with praise and adulation while filming the interviews to garner Michael’s trust. After the special aired, Michael filed a complaint against Bashir, accusing him of yellow journalism. Bashir, in the wake of the outage caused by this TV Special and to cash in on the eve of the 2005 trial, went on to create another “documentary” heavily implying Michael molested boys and was a pedophile. It was made so quickly and had so many interviews in it, one has to wonder if Bashir had the idea for this documentary waiting in the back of his mind while he was creating the “Living with Michael Jackson” special. Lucky Bashir - two major tv documentaries for the price of one. He had a direct interest in twisting the narrative on his stay with Michael to appear devious and inappropriate, as he got many other jobs and interviews because of it, being hired on to work with American news ABC Niteline in 2004. The explosive special, sadly, helped his career. He was now a household name. The UK seemed more aware of how shady and despicable Martin Bashir was. He was voted the 5th Worst Briton in Channel 4's poll of "The 100 Worst Britons of All Time" and mocked during the aftermath of “Living with Michael Jackson” for his two-faced facade and slimey journalism practices. Bashir went on to have a long career working in America, until he was let go from MSNBC for suggesting someone shit in Sarah Palin's mouth. The day Michael died, Bashir has some odd words to share. ”Certainly when I made the documentary, there was a small part of that which contained a controversy concerning his relationship with other young people. But the truth is that he was never convicted of any crime, I never saw any wrongdoing myself. And whilst his lifestyle may have been unorthodox, I don't believe it was criminal. And I think the world has now lost the greatest entertainer it's probably ever known. " About the 2005 Trial Entire Court Transcripts The Most Shameful Episode In Journalistic History article by Charles Thomson ( Video Format / Text Article) Jackson’s Lawyer, Tom Mesereau gives a speech at Harvard law in 2005 going into great details about the trial Another lecture by Tom Mesereau in 2005 going into great details about the trial MJCast Podcast with Tom Mesereau Pirates in Neverland 2005 Trial Special Podcast with Charles Thomson — Tom Sneddon seemed to have a personal vendetta to “get” Michael Jackson after the first 1993 allegations. He might have been completely convinced that Michael was a predator, but that does not excuse Sneddon’s relentless search for victims that didn’t exist, or his actions in fabricating or falsifying evidence. He denied Jackson a fair trial and justice the moment he set his sights on making Michael’s life a living hell. Tom Sneddon and the police spent millions of taxpayers dollars over the years searching the globe for perspective victims, trying to bully any child into claiming abuse. Even flying to Australia knowing that Brett Barnes and his family did not want to speak to them, but staying a week to have a nice vacation anyway. It seemed that after years of being unable to find credible victims of Michael Jackson (I say “credible” because Sneddon had approached obvious liars before, but could not use them once it became clear the victims had never ever been in the same room as Jackson), Gavin Arvizo and the hand-holding footage from “Living with Michael Jackson” was served up to Sneddon on a silver platter. Sneddon approached the family, not the other way around, and suddenly the family claims abuse did happen - after filming a statement in defense of Jackson after the TV Special aired. During the 2005 trial it became OVERWHELMINGLY APPARENT that the accuser and his family were con-artists and grifters. It appears that they might have even been trying to snag Michael with molestation accusations before they even met him. The mother, Janet, approached lawyers months before ever meeting Jackson and inquired about filing molestation charges against him. Gavin and his brother acted demanding and rebellious to many celebrities they met, exploiting people's charity due to Gavin’s very treatable form of cancer - often asking for gifts and things and trips, or running loose in the house and getting into places and locations they should not. Wade Robson was the first character witness for the defense, and he emphatically denied Michael ever molesting him or touching him inappropriately. Macaulay Culkin also testified that Michael Jackson never molested him - even explaining how it could be possible for him to fall asleep in Michael’s bed after a long night of playing video games or watching movies. Michael was found NOT GUILTY on all 14 counts by a jury. Despite his grueling court battle and victory, many in the public still refused to accept his innocence. Wade Robson Wade’s 2005 testimony and actions leading up to the accusations The Wade Robson Allegations - EBook by This is a 70 page document outlining Wade inconsistencies, the legal technicalities, and his reasons for creating these false allegations after years of publicly and vocally supporting Jackson’s innocence. It is VERY well researched, heavily sourced and cited, and so fantastically put together, more than I could ever hope to do. It has everything you need to understand why Wade is LYING. Before believing Wade’s inevitable crocodile tears and violin-backed story, you need to read this document. This is a video which sums up the above document. Wade Robson met Michael after winning a dance contest put on by Target in Australia. That would have been the last time Wade would have been around Michael if not for his stage-mothers desire to help her sons career. A few years later, they went to America and reached out to Michael again. In their sworn depositions for their lawsuit, Joy explains that she asked Michael to sponsor them so they could move to the US, that he helped them financially, and they show a sense of resentment and entitlement that Michael didn’t help them as much as they hoped he would, or that they didn’t see him very much at all. Gavin Arvizo felt the same before he accused MJ - almost as though it was revenge for feeling thrown aside and ignored. Wade was not a constant companion to Michael like other boys, like Brett Barnes and Frank Cascio, who still to this day swear Michael’s innocence. Every time Wade went to Neverland, his family was with him. And they only went a handful of times. Wade’s and his sister’s stories of those visits do not match up when it comes to who slept where and not being allowed some places. Even though Wade was not a constant companion to MJ like others - he emphasized his relationship with MJ to further his career before and after MJ’s death - to get jobs teaching, choreographing TV shows, commercials, music videos and tours… Wade even insinuated that he should be the one in charge of the Cirque Du Soleil MJ:One show and directing tributes to him, based on this belief that he and MJ were very close. Wade tried to get a high up job of the Cirque show only months before his allegations were made. Not one person suspected Wade of being abused at all during MJs life. Not his mother or family, not the investigators, not MJs lawyers, not the jury. In fact most of MJs legal team believes Wade to be lying NOW for money. Why would Michael and his legal team put Wade on the stand during his 2005 trial if there was even the slightest risk to Wade admitting MJ molested him, too? If MJ was a serial predator, he would have avoided having an actual victim anywhere near that trial - a trial for his life. Keep in mind, Wade insinuates that MJ suggested he lie nonverbally, expecting Wade to instantly understand what he meant. Why would MJ put him on the witness stand on just a “hunch” that he would lie for him? On the witness stand, Wade denied specific acts that were asked of him and he upheld under a cross examination. Questions that were “yes” or “no” answers, that if his accusations now are true, means he lied under oath and obstructed justice in 2005. It seems he defended MJ as long as it benefited him and his career - or he could accuse MJ if he helped his career. Jimmy Safechuck joined Wade’s lawsuit against the now highly-valuable Estate, using the same legal team. Jimmy did not testify in the 2005 trial, because he was a non-issue. But he did state that Michael never did anything to him during the first 1993 allegations. Jimmy’s recent claims seem to echo a book published in 1997, written by a man Michael won a lawsuit against in 1996. Victor Gutierrez is a figure that seems to pop up over the entire length of allegations against Michael. Michael sued him for defamation and won, but Victor fled the country and never paid. Some of the claims made by Victor, and now Safechuck, are provably false and show inconsistencies. Even Dan Reed seems to be parroting Victor with no proof. The FBI released their vault records on Michael Jackson, showing no proof of criminal behavior or pedophilia The Official FBI Vault records FBI releases files on Michael Jackson Tabloid report on Michael Jackson ‘FBI files’ questioned The FBI investigated/looked into Michael Jackson for more than a decade, and during the 2005 trial combed through the evidence found at Neverland and his computers, and found no evidence of pedophilia, CP, or criminal behavior. The FBI does have extensive records of death threats made against Michael, though. (Just a note; The Patriot Act was passed in 2001. Michael’s trial and the subsequent involvement of the FBI began in 2003… had the tools, and the means. ) About the 2016 RadarOnline article about child pornograghy found at Neverland The Truth About What Michael Had (And Didn’t Have) In His Bedroom Huffington Post Article Vindicating MJ blog post breaking down the false and fraudulent claims in the RadarOnline article The MJ Rebuttal by Rageaholic/RazorFist on youtube Here is a detailed dive into what books Police found at Neverland — On June 21 2016, an article was published on RadarOnline (a platform well known for being false and click-baity, which has seemed to have a personal agenda against Jackson throughout the years) declaring that “explosive” new revelations had been released that were previously hidden and “never before seen”. The article provided pictures claiming to have been found during the raid on Neverland and used Police records as proof Michael had groomed children. First, the police report was not “new” or “never before seen” - it had been released in 2003 with everything else at the trial. It was used in the case, had its day in trial, and found to be not proof of Michael’s guilt. Secondly, the pictures attached to the article were false and fabricated. RadarOnline claimed the photos came from books Michael owned, but the photos seemed to come from a quick (and wrong) google image search. One of the photos provided in the article (and thus spread to other news outlets), was not even published until 2010. The other photos were edited to appear more shocking and incriminating than they actually were. Thirdly, the books found in Michael’s library often quoted as the most “disturbing” of what was found, were legal art books that you can still buy today. One of the art books was a gift to Michael from a fan, proven by an inscription inside. The two books most often cited, with biased, suggestive and salacious text descriptions used to insinuate guilt like “children’s faces superimposed onto adult bodies” are Room to Play and Cronos (NSFW nudity) Hardly the delinquent, child pornography grooming material that the articles paint it out to be, and being used as proof of Michaels pedophilia. That huffpo article states falsehoods and leaves out important information that exonerated Michael Jackson in 2005. The rest of pornographic material found in Michael’s possession were legal, heterosexual, adult porn magazines like Hustler and Playboy. If you actually look at these books, you can tell they are avant garde art projects, and not child pornograghy in any way. Some of the images in “Room To Play” may be a little creepy and belong on r/nosleep, with dark backgrounds and white, glowing eyes, but that’s not illegal - and the photos are not sexual in nature. The other, “Cronos”, is a collection of portraits taken over the course of ten years, and the photographer has chosen to photograph his subjects nude - but not in sexually suggestive poses or gratuitous. Fourth, Michael was a borderline HOARDER. Neverland was stuffed packed with things he bought and also gifts from fans - he kept every gift given to him from fans. His library had over 10, 000 books. He once bought out an entire used bookstore with a single written check - I’m sure he didn’t itemize every single book he bought in that purchase. Yet the prosecution could only find a handful of books in Michael’s library that could be even remotely argued could be used as “grooming” material. Keep in mind, the prosecution was grasping at straws and was trying to find anything they could use to secure a conviction. They overshot at what was considered incriminating or not. Fifth, “grooming. ” This is almost impossible to prove what can be used as grooming material or not. It’s vague and the prosecution seemed to embrace that fact and used it to spread doubt. But what the 2016 RadarOnline article seemed to latch onto, were these photos and art books which are ambiguous at best, that can be hinted at being “grooming materials” to get boys comfortable with the acts Michael was supposed to be doing. But the accuser, Gavin Arvizo, never said Michael showed him these art books to groom him - he said Michael showed him adult, heterosexual porn. (Of which plenty was found at Neverland, no one denies that. ) Sixth, the DA Tom Sneddon fabricated fingerprint evidence on at least one of those adult porn magazines Gavin claims Michael showed him. During grand jury (without Michael or his defense present) Sneddon handed one of the porn magazines to Gavin without Gavin wearing gloves or the magazine being protected in a safety sleeve. One of the witnesses even asked “Shouldn’t he be wearing gloves? ” Gavin repeatedly insisted that this was the exact particular magazine Michael had shown him - only for it to be revealed that the magazine in question had not even been published until 5 months after Gavin claims the abuse happened or had been at Neverland. Finally - this RadarOnline article happened at a very curious time, and also is extremely likely that Wade Robson or his legal team was directly responsible for this article. Wade Robson was in the middle of suing the Estate for money, claiming they were complicit in his abuse. Using the press and tabloids like this was a main strategy the lawyer for the Chandlers during the 1993 allegations used to pressure Michael into a settlement. Child friends of Michael’s who say they were never molested or saw anything like that happening Macaulay Culkin Corey Feldman Corey Haim Kelly Parker Brett Barnes Michael’s nephews, Taj, TJ, And Taryell Jackson Ray J Alfonso Ribeiro Emmanuel Lewis Among many, many, many others. Along with many other adults, family members, friends, employees and his wives insisting they never saw it, never suspected it, and didn’t believe Michael had it in him to do such things. — E-Book by covering BOTH the 1993 allegation and the 2005 allegations Here is a YouTube Playlist I have complied with other materials I cannot fit here Aphrodite Jones was a reporter who covered the 2005 Trial, and during the length of the trail she, like many others, believed in Michael’s guilt. It wasn’t until after the trial that she changed her opinion after reading every single file and information available from the trial, and went on to write the book “The Michael Jackson Conspiracy”, host a true crime TV show which covered the extreme bias and misconduct in the trial, and to this day will always support Michael’s Innocence when it comes to the 2005 Trial. True Crime Episode MJCast Podcast with Aphrodite Ian Halperin is an odd character when you listen to him speak on radio talk shows or tout explosive statements straight from a tabloid, but he was the author who published the book about Kurt Cobain's death that illuminated the possibility that Cobain was murdered. In 2008/2009 Ian set out on a mission - to expose and prove Michael Jackson to be the pedophile that everyone believed he was that got away with it. While doing his research, he realized Michael was innocent and went on to publish his book about Michael’s innocence instead. Ian Halperin - Unmasked Geraldo Rivera has always insisted Michael’s innocence, and even famously vowed to shave his mustache off if Michael was found guilty in the 2005 trial. Gary Coleman was sent by All Comedy Radio to cover the 2005 Trial, but he got serious once he believed the entire trial was a farce, and that Michael was clearly falsely accused. Even Rush Limbaugh defended Jackson in 1994 - saying that the allegations were outrageous and the media influenced the public’s perception of his guilt without a trial. These false allegations ruined his life and arguably drove him to an early grave. Michael Jackson is not the most notorious uncaught pedophile history has ever known - his story is a tragic one... and the world let him down. This has to stop. Taj, Michael’s nephew, is currently crowdfunding a docu-series to go into the allegations.
