Yes he is COMPLETELY normal.  This only serves to make me hate Bashir even more.  Michael took him into his confidence and seemed to be totally relaxed and honest and to listen to Bashir laughing and joking in the background, I can see why Michael thought he was genuine.  It is so sad and I can only imagine how Michael's heart must have dropped once he realized that Bashir had what he wanted and was now willing to take it, misrepresent it, and feed Michael to the lions to up his sorry ass standing.  If there is one person on this earth that I loathe, Bashir is he.

This is so unfair.  Michael didn't have it in him to be mean. I am furious.

I love the bit where bashir tells him he is looking sexy and women will be taking off their pants and throwing them at the screen.

MJ knew...   :lol:

that was really cute, and Michael kept on touching up that beautiful face... as if he needed to :lol:

[liegi]

I think you're right--Michael was on to him. Why did he put up with it though?

[iluvmj4eva]

BASHIT DID NOTHING BUT EXPLOIT MICHAEL JACKSON.  MICHAEL OPENED UP HIS  HOME AND HIS LIFE TO THIS A**HOLE AND LOOK WHAT HE GOT, NOTHING BUT EXPLOITATION.  I DISLIKE BASHIT :x

[liegi]

And he's still working--for MSNBC!! I don't get it.

I think you're right--Michael was on to him. Why did he put up with it though?

Maybe it was too late by the time he realized what he got himself into. This guy is so transparent...or maybe we just what he's like now...he just seems so fake...and when he calls Mike a racist  :evil: ..he has a mean tone ..he even raises his voice a little...I don't like him at all  :evil:

[nevernevernever]

WTF  :!:

Bashit ,
we gonna lose her soon (Elis. Taylor), because she is not young  :shock:

What the hell is with this man ?? I mean , it's disgusting to say something like that? Does he think he is God , to decide who is gonna die first ... !
it's obvious here that that Bashit is disrespectful person, and that , somehow , he is considering MJ as a naive person. (i mean , considering and taking advantage of )

I HATE BASHIT . :evil:

[mumof3]

I have to say i didnt like watching that bashir was like an annoying fly in your face all the time he never shut up and poor Michael checking his face all the time when he didnt need to and you could see he did not find the jokes funny he just humoured them and smiled but i think he was feeling fed up with the crew he was trying to get a more important message over and they talked over him. grrrrrrrrr

[mumof3]

another thing that made me laugh was bashir asking Michael if he would like him to write something for the funeral, does he think Michael is not good with words. what an idiot.

[trublu]

Grr how annoying. Bashir is rude and not at all funny. I swear Micheal was probably thinking just shut the f#&k up. I know I was. Sorry I'm not normally so judgmental but man that guy can talk some sh#t.

[mumof3]

I know I dont normally let of steam but that bloke just gets to me he was reeling Michael in and let him down in the worst possible way I disslike him so much.

Toward the end of this clip, Michael and Bashir discuss the fact that Michael is going to a funeral the next day...for "Morris" and went on to discuss his amazing ability to harmonize....that's what made me realize they were probably talking about "Maurice" Gibb, who died January 12, 2003...this fits the timeline of the Bashir interview.....anyway, in my Googling to find out when Maurice Gibb died, I brought up this article and look at the interesting thing I found out!

Maurice Gibb Dies at 53
Gibb, a member of the Bee Gees, is remembered as outgoing, inspiring
By Amber J. Tresca, About.com Guide

Maurice Gibb, best known for being one-third of the pop band the Bee Gees, died Sunday, January 12, 2003. His family, wife Yvonne, son Adam, and daughter Samantha were at his bedside when he passed away. Gibb was reportedly working on new music with brother Barry (also of the Bee Gees) and Michael Jackson before his unexpected death.

Gibb played keyboard, guitar, bass and percussion in the Bee Gees, and sang the high notes in their three-part harmony. The multi-faceted musician also wrote many of the groups hit songs. After being the butt of jokes as disco fever died out in the 80s, the Bee Gees are now regarded as musical pioneers, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.

The 53-year old Gibb was rushed to Mount Sinai Medical Center on Wednesday after experiencing intense abdominal pain. Doctors discovered the pain was due to a twisted section in his small intestine. Before the operation Gibb reportedly went into cardiac arrest, which weakened his condition. After surgery to remove the damaged section of intestine, Gibb was listed in critical but stable condition. He passed away at 1AM Sunday morning.

Were any of you aware of a BeeGee's/Michael Collaboration? MAN! That would have been SOMETHING!!!

As for Bashir's behaviour during this clip, what I heard was a man trying WAY TOO HARD to be funny and "close" to Michael....like he was trying to become his new BFF! Michael, of course, is probably very used to this kind of behavior from people and had learned to be gracious about it....but as a listener, it sorta turned my stomach....the shallowness and insincerity of Bashir is completely evident....he had Mike on a hook and was trying his best to reel him in....Michael was astute enough to have his own person videotaping the interview, but clearly had NO CLUE what he was being set up for....in my opinion, there should be a special level of Hell set aside for Bashir and his ilk....such phony, self-promoting, unethical and frankly, immoral behaviour on his part....but despite all that, I'll bet that even he didn't realize that his actions would play such a crucial part in the next step of Michael's persecution...that being said, I wonder if now, in hindsight, he's ever felt even one moment of remorse for his part in bringing Michael down....God, I sure hope so, or his soul is even blacker than I imagine it to be!
