I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. I have some apprehension about seeing MJ Impersonators that look and act too much like Michael :? I don’t know but it makes me feel like the Michael brand is being erased and replaced by pod people. :shock: I don’t like it. Not saying it’s a bad thing, and that anyone who enjoys this is wrong. Do your thing by all means. I am saying only that I have some misgivings about them. And this one scares me. He appears to be spot on and he also is following in visiting children. Hopefully that turns out to be positive. But just because one looks and imitates Michael’s art doesn’t necessarily mean that his heart is in the same place. I hope he’s being sincere. :? But I’m old school. I have a hard time changing my stripes.
Thank you for sharing this with us. In those pictures on stage he does resemble a younger MJ. It's good to hear that he also cares about those that are afflicted. I guess if one wants to be an MJ impersonator they'd only be 1/2 of one if they didn't visit the hospitals, etc., right? Anyways, I enjoyed reading about your time at the concert. Do you happen to have his name? Blessings.
Hi - Shout out to Baltimore... I too saw this tribute band last summer; they played outside at a local horse race track and it was free to the general public - I took my (at the time) 5 year old daughter and i actually made a quick mock up of a sequined glove for her - IT WAS SO ADORABLE! She had a blast and she still tells everyone that SHE was at a Michael Jackson concert! Hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did!

It always bothered me, but my Dad surprised me with these tickets, he was apologizing for something that occurred between us, but anyways, I went, and I know that (in a way) they're 'copying' Michael, but I was never able to go to a real Michael Jackson concert, and I probably never will unless Michael does do concerts after he comes back, which none of us are sure of, so to be right up leaning on the stage, it made me feel like I was actually at a real concert, of course a real MJ concert would be better, but this was truly amazing and I'm really glad that I went! I like that these kinds of people keep Michael's legacy alive, and so that the dreadful day when Michael does pass away, we have these fantastic performers. I was talking to the impersonater, Taalib York, and he's very very sweet. I think I put in the original post how he goes to childrens hospitals, and these young kids with cancer get really happy to see him, because they think it's really Michael, and he was telling me how it brings tears to his eyes that he can bring this kind of happiness to these poor children, because Michael can't visit all of them. So, I was hesitant about impersonators at first, but I'm really glad I was able to experience this, because he was a very nice person. And I think to dedicate your entire life, and your career to someone is very flattering.
