Maybe the Youtube forumer ran MJ's song through a peasy translating software too.
I'm not convinced that he sang the song in French.

I wondered why some people went rumour-mongering that he had converted to Islam. He wore a Kabbalah bendel to the March 2009 O2 press conference in London. He was photographed with one too during the rehearsals at Staples Center.

His biz-savy adminstrators have obtained permission from the probate's presiding Judge to sign publishing agreements for reprint copies of his autobiography "MoonWalk" and more. I think we can expect a plethora of memorabilia to hit the stores for his birthday, 29 Aug. Back in 1988, I should have picked up his book. They are bidding USD1700 for that now. That's a 100 times gain in some 20 years.

L : i think even if you had bought that book, unless you purchased several copies, i think you probably wont sell it now... the memorial value far exceeds USD1700....

maybe now, we could accumulate some existing hot pop stars' DVDs and paraphernalia ?

Hi K
Yes, I wouldn't sell yet. Gonna go long.............buy and hold mah.

Hi mojo and MM
My mea culpa. MJ sang in Spanish too Hope I did not speak as stupidly as President Obama.
Here's the Spanish version of "I just can't stop loving you".
I notice that the music arrangment is a little different from the English and French versions.

Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, administered a drug that authorities believe killed Jackson, a source says.

A Sony movie based on some 80 rehearsal hours of "This is It" concert will hit the cinemas on 30 October 2009.

MJ's cosmetic surgeon, who performed the first 2 operations on his nose, described MJ as a genius artist who drew extremely beautiful pen-and-pencil drawings. He plans to publish a collection of MJ's doodles, which were drawn when MJ lived with him at his BelAir residence. I think he's got some gems amongst the doodles.
All of you would have see MJ's self-portrait which I had earlier posted in this thread.

Watch MJ say glowingly with fatherly love to his elder son : "Prince, that was for you to learn about perseverence and confidence and the true meaning of success - which is love.

"And to know that you can reach any goal that your heart desires. It is totally up to you, you can do anything that you want to do and I love you."

On 7 July 2009, I watched Larry King Live and noted what actress Pati Austin said abt MJ's eagerness to learn and learn :

KING: Tell me about him.

AUSTIN: Good heavens, the first time I worked with Michael was on "The Wiz." He was incredibly shy. He was walking around with a little notebook, and if anybody said anything clever or that he didn't quite understand, it went in the notebook. And the research began. And that was my first -- any kind of meeting I had with Michael was about that.

KING: And that perfection remained throughout?

AUSTIN: All the way through, all the way through. And then, we never spoke during all of this. He have would kind of look at me from across the studio. He was kind of, hmm. If I'd say something funny, he'd write it down. If anybody would say something clever, he'd write it down.

When the Jackson 5 started touring state-to-state, MJ left formal schooling behind and had a Jewish tutor, Mrs Rose Fine, who travelled with the group. That explained for his good diction and grammatically good English. But the long hours of rehearsing and performing cut him off from many things one needs to know abt the world.

Many have forgotten or had no idea abt the social conditions in the American music industry right up to the early 1980's. Then, black stations play no white music. White radio rations play black artistes' works but only if they are jazz or R&B stations. Records in stores were categorized. No black men play rock or heavy metal.
MTV was a white station which routinely rejected black music until Billie Jean came along. And they started to beg MJ for more. In a great way, MJ tore through the barriers.

He talked to his son abt perseverance and hardwork, essential elements of success.
Enjoy this video of him rehearsing "Human Nature" for his Dangerous concert:
