Hi Ann, Welcome to the forum. Michael is posting his own blogs on the forum. That was him you responded to. He just started doing these more often, he had asked what the fans would like to feel more connected. This was one of the major ideas. It goes onto his Twitter, Facebook and the forum blog all the same time. The other announcements for contests and things are the Administrators-but the blogs that sound like MB, are Michael. It's so nice he's writing to us often.

Welcome and enjoy the site and the forum board.

Hi Ann, your r very welcome. Michael's music has been with me for years. I can listen to his albums over and over again and not get tired of them. Ive never seen him in concert but would give anything for him to come to southern North Carolina for a concert.

Hello Ann, MB did do a few online chats over the years on other forum boards, it's been a few years now since the last one. It was well organized and we had a lot of fun. Maybe it will be done again with this forum, we can hope!

I was at Polaris to see Michael too, but in 1998. It's a nice venue!
Take care,
Robin :)

OMG Ann, your are a trip. I think that Micheal at this point is just enjoying life without the added stress of a relationship. But as like you i do wonder if any of his relationships have been with a woman that wasnt famous. It seems like all these relatonships with actors and actresses never seem to last. It might be bacause for most of them fame goes to their heads and then it seems to be a battle between the sexes.

Hello Ann :-))

what did you mean with your message:

NOT!!

Best,

Oh Ann me too!! I woke up in the middle of the night and immediately started thinking about Michael being booted and it makes me so mad. I'm proud of the announcer (can't think of his name) bringing it up and Len for chewing Bruno out for how rude he was to Michael, but it doesn't seem like Bruno was sorry what so ever and that pisses me off. I won't be watching DWTS any longer unless they bring Michael back on to sing. So I hope someone will let me know if that happens cuz I don't wanna miss it. I have watched DWTS for years, but I'm really bored with it now! Before this season I often thought it would be so nice if Michael at least sung on it and when I heard that he was going to compete, I thought it a little strange at first but then thought he might be able to learn to dance. He is so awesome at anything he does & so sincere that it was so cool that he gave this a try. But them being so rude and giving him a "3" was so sad!! That P.Miller they had on one year was awful and he didn't even have the drive. Michael had lots of drive. I think he is too good for that show anyways! He's our King of singers!! Anywho if Michael is not on the show again, I am done with DWTS since they blasted the one celebrity that I wanted to ever see on there!!!

Ya know Ann....I wouldn't doubt it unless they fixed it that quickly on the tour dates, don't know. But see I thought it was suppose to be live, DWTS. But I'll tell ya what, all those stupid reality shows like DWTS & American Idol seem to be fixed to me. It is so unfair how they do things & seems to have so much politics going on. I think that's why I was getting bored with DWTS. If it wasn't for Michael being on this season, I was actually considering not getting glued to that TV this season. NOW I have a very good reason to ban it since they booted him off :). I was afraid they might do that to him cuz he got booted out of that other reality show, "Choir" of something, don't remember the whole name of the show. It was a couple years ago. He was 1 celebrity of 4, leading a choir & I think the 2nd to be booted off. They just don't know a good thing when they see it, MB! I saw all the politics though. I bet he did too!

As far as what he just mentioned that he felt like he was disrespected & been rude to, but that was after Burt Bergeron brought it up to Len and Len really kinda scolded Bruno for not giving out constructive critisicm instead of being so ugly. That would be great for you to find the re-make or video of. That was kinda good to hear, but Bruno never apologized still. You might can find it on a video on ABC.com if you can get that?

Ann, I'm sorry that you don't feel good & you had a bad day :(

Good point! If I watch it! They have made me so mad that the only reason that I might is in case Bruno does apologize, which I doubt. I heard that the directors of DWTS said they won't be apologizing to Michael. Skunks!! lol. I saw on ET last night that Bergeron was on Lopez and they were talking about voting on a tie to wear Did you see that? They were kidding about Michael or downing him. Plus Bergeron said a fake apology to Michael. It's actually pissing me off on how far they are taking this, UGH! I wondering if Michael heard about that? I thought Bergeron was a nice guy but after hearing that, don't believe so. It will be interesting to hear what the pro dancers & celebs on DWTS will say on ET tonight. They are suppose to interview them about what they think about how they treated Michael.
Take care and try and get better!! ttyl

It is on here Central time 6:30, on channel 9, I think. I know that Michael will be on ET tonight, because I am signed up on ET's alerts and they notified me that he will be on. I have a feeling it is about DWTS. I hope you can find it and watch it. On entertainment tonights website, there is a place that you can enter your location and it's suppose to tell you when & where you can pick it up. I personally had trouble with getting it to work, but maybe it's because I am on the computer at work. Good luck!

I saw that video. Isn't it cool? That would be funny. I was actually thinking about Michael and the DWTS when I saw that dog video! ha ha!
What did you think about what Michael said on ET last night? Pretty cool that he is sticking with demanding an apology. Michael is also right about other stars coming on having to deal with that kind of criticism. It's good that someone is stopping it!

Did you hear Ann? Michael is going to sing on DWTS tonight! I know, I almost hate to watch again, but like last night, i put it on for a bit. I didn't like it when they showed a pic of Michael coming out of the dog house like a dog & barking!! Did you see it? Pisses me off! (excuse the french) It seems like they were making fun of Michael, Ugh! I turned the TV off! made me mad and can't stand to see Drano (Bruno).
But since he is on to sing, I will be there. Hope he shines Drano out of his chair! Oh yeah, apparently he is singing with Ne-yo. :/ Hope he can still shine BIG with Ne-yo, lol!

That's what I heard. I also heard that Susan Boyle was going to be on, but came down with an infected throat and cancelled. Now I am only hearing that Ne-yo is going to be on, but thats who I heard was going to be performing with Michael. I would tune in anyways, because I bet that he is going to come out after Ne-yo starts singing. Don't know for sure. I did hear about Michael being on there tonight from the news on this website, so I would still tune in anyways.
Ha, Yes, that would be so funny if they got Drano/Bruno, lol up there and had him try and sing! Ha! Then Michael can cut him in two! ha ha ha!

The absolute PERFECT song for him to sing would be: Dance with me! There could be a woman in a red dress at the bar who goes up to the dancer while Michael's singing, "Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me". LOLOL I'd love to see that. :-)

Isn't that the truth!! He truly would! Wasn't he totally STUNNING!!!!! It was so beautiful!! I thought that he was going to sing with Ne-Yo, but this one 100 times better! Loved, loved, loved it!!!!
