King of flop?Rehearsals are not going so smoothly for the self-titled "King of Pop." A source has revealed that Mr. Jackson has fallen several times during rehearsals trying to do the dance moves that he used to. "Michael doesn't realize that he is over 50 now and doing the same dance moves that he did in his 20s is going to be very difficult."
One of the mishaps happened as he tried to recreate his famous Billy Jean performance from 1983. Back then, he was able to do the moonwalk very smoothly. This week, he has twisted his ankle twice. "He is substituting a lot of special effects to make up for his fading talents," the source continues. In one particular performance, Mr. Jackson goes through a cloning machine. In another, he disses whom he considers villains, including Madonna and Tom Sneddon, while praising "good people" such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
Michael Jackson has scheduled 50 dates so far. Whether he will make it through even half of them remains to be seen.
Oh well.
