§ 成功背后的故事

《HIStory》于95年6月发行,并拥有有史以来规模最大、耗资最多的宣传活动。尽管指控撤消,公众对Michael 93年被控告儿童性骚扰的事件仍然耿耿于怀,Michael Jackson面临的道路仍然曲折。评论界对《HIStory》的发行褒贬不一,而Michael则完全陷入遭受媒体攻击的境地。因为他为了宣传新专辑将自己的巨型雕像竖立在欧洲大陆上并将它们漂流过泰晤士河。除去负面报道,人人都知道Michael Jackson的新专辑问世了。但另一个问题是:由于是双碟装,唱片的价格自然有所上涨。但Sony音乐公司受利益驱使把价格定得比其他任何双碟装唱片都高。

尽管受到了单曲“Scream”销量失败的相关影响, 专辑《HIStory》起初的销量势头迅猛。它在世界各地的专辑榜上空降为冠军。在美国,首周便以391,000张打破《Dangerous》的首周326,500张的销售记录。在英国,仅在头2天就售出100,000张,成为英国历史上销售最快的专辑。

但《HIStory》并未能够延续初战的成绩,它在美国专辑榜的冠军宝座上只停留了2周,而在英国只有1周。在其他国家的专辑榜的冠军宝座上平均停留2周。Sony音乐美国总部原本以为《HIStory》能够占据一个夏天的专辑榜冠军宝座,因此媒体开始认定《HIStory》是一个彻头彻尾的失败。然而,同样的媒体判断失误也发生在《Dangerous》发行时期,同《Dangerous》一样,《HIStory》的成功销售是一项长久的工程。

英国方面的销量回升完全得益于单曲“You Are Not Alone”以及“Earth Song”的巨大成功。尤其是“Earth Song”!95年年底它的销量超过了100万。其他单曲的成功帮助《HIStory》在宣传时期继续销售了150万。这虽然没有达到《Dangerous》在英国7白金的销售成绩,但因为双碟唱片的昂贵售价,《HIStory》在销售总收入上却远远高于《Dangerous》。事实上,《HIStory》是95年英国毛收入第二高的专辑。

美国方面,销量在单曲“You Are Not Alone”的惊人成功中有所回升。但Sony音乐美国总部却做了个愚蠢的决定:他们并没有抓住这个时机以乘着“You Are Not Alone”成功的东风连续发行单曲。最终导致专辑销量的停滞。随后很久“This Time Around”和“Earth Song”才被发行到电台以期激起人们购买专辑的欲望。可惜此招并没有行通。因为此时发行这两支单曲已经为时已晚,公众和电台已经明显显露出对专辑兴趣欠缺。Michael因为健康状况而取消他在纽约的“一夜盛典”演出也是原因之一。然而,专辑仍然在美国售出了350万套。这只有《Dangerous》在美国的销量的一半。同在英国一样,专辑在美国也获取了比《Dangerous》高得多的毛利。不幸的是, Michael之后并没有在美国本土进行“HIStory”的巡演。如果他在本土巡演,那么未必不是一次绝佳的再促销时机。

世界范围内,专辑的销售情况良好。事实上,在欧洲的丹麦,瑞士,荷兰以及比利时,《HIStory》是Michael在这些国家销量最高的专辑。但这些都是很小的市场。96年底欧洲方面的总销量是600万套。这个成绩同《Bad》大抵相当却不如《Dangerous》。1998年世界净销量为1600万套。如今的销量刚好超过1800万套。

起初是有些令人沮丧,但仍然要提及的事实为:

1、如果按单套双倍计算,该专辑是历史上销量最高的专辑的前5名。

2、就专辑销售收入而言,该专辑是继《Thriller》之后收入最高的专辑。

3、就总收入 (专辑, 单曲, MV 以及巡演)而言,该专辑是有史以来最成功的专辑。

专辑的成绩原本是否可以更好?

《HIStory》未能获得应该的胜利原因如下:

1、专辑价格昂贵而且很多人已经拥有碟1里的曲子了。

2、在起先的18个月内,只有5支单曲做了发行。

3、Sony音乐美国公司在“You Are Not Alone”成功后在美国这个最大唱片市场做出对专

辑总销量具有毁灭意义的可怕的推销策略。

4、大部分美国媒体给予《HIStory》的负面评价以及单曲“They Don't Care About Us”

引发的争议。

5、93事件的阴影。

关于专辑的销售仍然有些有争议的问题如:

1、Sony为《HIStory》定的高价位是出于贪婪心理吗?

-或许,但他们最终的确猛赚了一笔。

2、如果他们将价格降低点,专辑的销量是否能好些呢?

-很有可能。

3、如果这不是一套双碟装的精选碟而只是只有碟2的单碟唱片,《HIStory》的成绩是否能好点?

-很有可能销量会上涨,但总收入会下跌。

4、为什么在先前的18个月没有发行更多的单曲 ?

-这个问题很难回答。97年发行混音专辑《Blood on The Dance Floor》两年之后也推出了两支单曲,但反响不佳。专辑《Dangerous》以及《Bad》中都有9支单曲是在发行初的两年之内发行的。因此可以说明《HIStory》是由于单曲发行间隔过长而失去了销售动力。尤其是单曲“They Don't Care About Us”同单曲“Stranger In Moscow”的发行日期竟然相隔了毁灭性的7个月。事实上这间隔期至少可以发行1支单曲。“Money”原本是计划发行为单曲的,“Tabloid Junkie”和“2 Bad”也是。“HIStory/Ghosts”的单曲碟发行之后应当有发行更多的单曲。“Is It Scary”和“Smile”都是这时失去发行为单曲的机会的。“Smile”甚至已经被发放到电台做了前期宣传。该曲需要一支很有可能是由出现在德国电视节目“Wettan Das”的现场表演而拍摄的MV。 但Michael不知何故取消了这场现场表演。为什么呢?也许是Michael出于“HIStory”巡演的压力而认为没有足够时间完成MV的拍摄;也或许是Sony音乐公司的高层对专辑销售在美国本土的相对失败而丧失信心以至于他们懒得花钱拍摄昂贵的MV。又或许是他们已经满足于专辑销售带来的巨大利润而将精力放在其他艺人身上。也可能他们认为《Blood on The Dance Floor》的发行可以有助于《HIStory》销量的回升。但该混音辑只产生了1到2支单曲而且在美国本土没做一丝一毫的宣传。 最后的猜测则是:Sony公司认为Michael的新专辑很快就要发行因此他们也就放弃了所有挽救《HIStory》的机会。总之,事实很可能是有上述的种种猜测共同作用而成。

然而,一旦发现《HIStory》里的单曲在英国以及其他国家的成绩良好时,你便会对它在美国方面的表现感到极为沮丧。在英国几乎每支发行的单曲都爬升到了前5名。大部分歌迷认为专辑原本可以派生出更多的优秀的单曲,而专辑在全球的销量想达到2000万套也不是没有可能的。

《HIStory》/《HIStory Greatest Hits Vol. 1》的未来:

改变了专辑封面的《HIStory》的第一碟(精选辑)于2001年11月重新发行。这张精选辑的发行将破坏《HIStory》双专辑的长期持续的销售,而它自身的销售数据将另外单独计算。

这张专辑在世界上很多国家都挤进了排行榜内,但普遍名次不高,而且没过几周就跌出榜外(比如英国榜)。但它却在美国Top 200专辑榜上呆了近6个月,并由于“与Michael Jackson一同生活”记录片的热播, 它于2003年2月3日重新入榜,到现在为止其在美国已经销售了830,000张。与原装《HIStory》合计的话,《HIStory》专辑在美国一地就已经卖出近430万套或超过780万张。而《HIStory》专辑派生的录影带/DVD在全球也有良好的销售成绩,美国唱片工业协会2003年上半年重新发放的认证证书显示:《HIStory Video Greatest Hits》销量达到五白金(50万),而《HIStory on Film Volume 2》则达到了三白金(30万)。

在英国,由“与Michael Jackson一同生活”记录片掀起的热潮使这张专辑重回榜内,并长居不下。而《HIStory》专辑的录影带/DVD也重新进榜并连续几个月停留在前20名内。

《HIStory Greatest Hits Vol. 1》现在的全球销量估计达到了250万张左右,但不太可能继续畅销下去,因为后来又发行了两张精选《Number Ones》和最近的《The Essential Michael Jackson》,后两者有丰富的曲目供消费者享用。不过《HIStory Greatest Hits Vol. 1》依然在美国还有市场。

《HIStory 》(原装版本) 也依然在持续销售中(尤其在网上,它的价格非常便宜),在未来的2-3年内,如果Michael进行良好的宣传活动的话,该专辑将卖过2000万张。而现在,这两种版本的《HIStory》专辑的合计销量业已超过2100万张。

Stranger In Moscow

written & composed by Michael Jackson

I was wandering in the rain

Mask of life, feelin' insane

Swift and sudden fall from grace

Sunny days seem far away

Kremlin's shadow belittlin' me

Stalin's tomb won't let me be

On and on and on it came

Wish the rain would just let me be

How does it feel

(How does it feel)

How does it feel

How does it feel

When you're alone

And you're cold inside

Here abandoned in my fame

Armageddon of the brain

KGB was doggin' me

Take my name and just let me be

Then a begger boy called my name

Happy days will drown the pain

On and on and on it came

And again, and again, and again...

Take my name and just let me be

How does it feel

(How does it feel)

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel

(How does it feel now)

How does it feel

How does it feel

When you're alone

And you're cold inside

How does it feel

(How does it feel)

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel

(How does it feel now)

How does it feel

How does it feel

When you're alone

And you're cold inside

Like a stranger in Moscow

Like a stranger in Moscow

We're talkin' danger

We're talkin' danger baby

Like a stranger in Moscow

We're talkin' danger

We're talkin' danger baby

Like a stranger in Moscow

I'm livin' lonely

I'm livin' lonely baby

A stranger in Moscow

This time around I'll never get bit

Though you really wanna fix me

Somebody's out

Somebody's out to get me

They really wanna fix me, hit me

But this time around I'm taking no shit

Though you really wanna get me

You really wanna get me

This time around I'm taking no shit

Though you really wanna fix me

Somebody's out to use me

They really want to use me

And they falsely accuse me

This time around

They'll take it like spit

'Cause you really can't control me

You know you can't control me

【Rap: The Notorious BIG】

Listen, I've got problems of my own

Flashin' cameras, taps on my phone

Even in my home I ain't safe as I should be

Things always missin'

Maybe it could be my friends

They ain't friends if they robbin' me

Stoppin' me from makin' a profit, see

Apology shallow like the ocean

I guess I'll resort to gun totin'

If I was dead broke and smokin'

I'd probably be by my lonesome

I'm a killer nigga I ain't jokin'

Endo smoke got me choked and I'm hopin'

The fool comes slippin'

So I could blow'em open

This time around

I changed up my flow

Got rid of the rocks

Got Pitts by the door

I've raised other peoples to watch my back

Stay away from strangers

So I won't slack

And I know my nigga Mike like that

Baby 【Michael】

Money

written & composed by Michael Jackson

Money...

Lie for it

Spy for it

Kill for it

Die for it

So you call it trust

But I say it's just

In the devil's game

Of greed and lust

They don't care

They'd do me for the money

They don't care

They use me for the money

So you go to church

Read the Holy word

In the scheme of life

It's all absurd

They don't care

They'd kill for the money

Do or dare

The thrill for the money

You're saluting the flag

Your country trusts you

Now you're wearing a badge

You're called the "Just Few"

And you're fighting the wars

A soldier must do

I'll never betray or deceive you my friend

but...

If you show me the cash

Then I will take it

If you tell me to cry

Then I will fake it

If you give me a hand

Then I will shake it

You'll do anything for money...

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

Insurance?

Where do your loyalties lie?

Is that your alibi?

I don't think so

You don't care

You'd do her for the money

Say it's fair

You sue her for the money

Want your pot of gold

Need the Midas touch

Bet you sell your soul

Cuz your God is such

You don't care

You kill for the money

Do or dare

The thrill for the money

Are you infected with the same disease

Of lust, gluttoney and greed?

Then watch the ones

With the biggest smiles

The idle jabbers...

Cuz they're the backstabbers

If you know it's a lie

Then you will swear it

If you give it with guilt

Then you will bear it

If it's taking a chance

Then you will dare it

You'll do anything for money...

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

You say you wouldn't do it

For all the money in the world

I don't think so

If you show me the man

Then I will sell him

If you ask me to lie

Then I will tell him

If you're dealing with God

Then you will hell him

You'll do anything for money

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

Come Together

written & composed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Here come ol' flat top

He come groovin' up slowly

He's got Joo Joo eyeball

He one holy roller

He got hair down to his knees

Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine

He's got toe jam football

He's got monkey finger

He shoot Coca-Cola

He say "I know you, you know me"

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Come together right now over me

He bag production

He's got walrus gum-boot

He's got O no sideboard

He one spinal cracker

He got feet down through his knees

Hold you in his arm 'til

You can feel his disease

Come together right now over me

Come together babe

Come together babe

Come together, come together

He roller coaster

He's got early warning

He's got muddy water

He one Mojo filter

He say "One and one and one is three"

Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see

Come together right now over me

You Are not Alone

written & composed by R. Kelly

Another day has gone

I'm still all alone

How could this be

You're not here with me

You never said goodbye

Someone tell me why

Did you have to go

And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself

How did love slip away

Something whispers in my ear and says

That you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

You are not alone

I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart

You are not alone

All alone

Why, alone

Just the other night

I thought I heard you cry

Asking me to come

And hold you in my arms

I can hear your prayers

Your burdens I will bear

But first I need your hand

Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself

How did love slip away

Something whispers in my ear and says

That you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

You are not alone

I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart

You are not alone

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'

And girl you know that I'll be there

I'll be there

You are not alone

I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

You are not alone

I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart

You are not alone

For I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

You are not alone

I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart

You are not alone

For you are not alone

Not alone, oh

Alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

Not alone

Not alone

If you reach out to me, girl

In the morning

In the evening

Not alone

Not alone

You and me

Not alone

Together

Together

Childhood

written & composed by Michael Jackson

(Theme from 'Free Willy 2')

Have you seen my Childhood?

I'm searching for the world that I come from

'Cause I've been looking around

In the lost and found of my heart...

No one understands me

They view it as such strange eccentricities...

'Cause I keep kidding around

Like a child, but pardon me...

People say I'm not okay

'Cause I love such elementary things...

It's been my fate to compensate,

for the Childhood

I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?

I'm searching for that wonder in my youth

Like pirates and adventurous dreams,

Of conquest and kings on the throne...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me,

Look within your heart then ask,

Have you seen my Childhood?

People say I'm strange that way

'Cause I love such elementary things,

It's been my fate to compensate,

for the Childhood I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?

I'm searching for that wonder in my youth

Like fantastical stories to share

The dreams I would dare, watch me fly...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me.

The painful youth I've had

Have you seen my Childhood...

Tabloid Junkie

written & composed by Michael Jackson, James Harris III and Terry Lewis

Speculate to break the one you hate

Circulate the lie you confiscate

Assassinate and mutilate

The hounding media in hysteria

Who's the next for you to resurrect

JFK exposed the CIA

Truth be told the grassy knoll

The blackmail story in all your glory

It's slander

You say it's not a sword

But with your pen you torture men

You'd crucify the Lord

And you don't have to read it

And you don't have to eat it

To buy it is to feed it

So why do we keep foolin' ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

Though everybody wants to read all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual, actual

They say he's homosexual

In the hood

Frame him if you could

Shoot to kill

To blame him if you will

If he dies sympathize

Such false witnesses

Damn self righteousness

In the black

Stab me in the back

In the face

To lie and shame the race

Heroine and Marilyn

The headline stories of

All your glory

It's slander

With the words you use

You're a parasite in black and white

Do anything for news

If you don't go and buy it

Then they won't glorify it

To read it sanctifies it

Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

Everybody wants to read all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

See, but everybody wants to believe all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

See, but everybody wants to believe all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual, actual

She's blonde and she's bisexual

Scandal

With the words you use

You're a parasite in black and white

Do anything for news

And you don't go and buy it

Then they won't glorify it

To read it sanctifies it

Why do we keep foolin' ourselves

Slander

You say it's not a sin

But with your pen you torture men

Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

Though everybody wants to read all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

See, but everybody wants to believe all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual, actual

You're so damn disrespectable

2 Bad

song and lyrics written by Michael Jackson

music composed by Bruce Swedien, Rene, and Dallas Austin

Told me that you're doin' wrong

Word out shockin' all alone

Cryin' wolf ain't like a man

Throwin' rocks to hide your hand

You ain't done enough for me

You ain't done enough for me

You are disgustin' me

You're aiming just for me

You are disgustin' me

Just want your cut from me

But too bad, too bad

Look who just walked in the place

Dead and stuffy in the face

Look who's standing if you please

Though you tried to bring me to my knees

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Hell all up in Hollywood

Sayin' that you got it good

Creepin' from a dusty hole

Tales of what somebody told

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

Tired of you haunting me, yeah yeah

You're aiming just for me

You are disgustin' me

You got blood lust for me

But too bad, too bad

Look who got slapped in the face

It's dead and stuffy in the place

Right back where I wanna be

I'm standin' though you're kickin' me

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

【Rap: Shaquille O'Neal】

Life's about a dream

I'm really undefeated when MJ is on my team, theme

Reality brings forth realizm

It's the man of steel organizm

Not from the prizm, take charge like manilla

Nine five Shaq represent with the Thrilla

Grab my crotch, twist my knee, then I'm through

Mike's bad, I'm bad

Who are you

(Michael)

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

HIStory

written & composed by Michael Jackson, James Harris III, and Terry Lewis

He got kicked in the back

He say that he needed that

He hot willed in the face

Keep daring to motivate

He say one day you will see

His place in world history

He dares to be recognized

The fire's deep in his eyes

How many victims must there be

Slaughtered in vain across the land

And how many struggles must there be

Before we choose to live the prophet's plan

Everybody...

Every day create your history

Every path you take you're leaving your legacy

Every soldier dies in his glory

Every legend tells of conquest and liberty

Don't let no one get you down

Keep movin' on higher ground

Keep flying until

You are the king of the hill

No force of nature can break

Your will to self motivate

She say this face that you see

Is destined for history

How many people have to cry

The song of pain and grief across the land

And how many children have to die

Before we stand to lend a healing hand

Everybody sing...

Every day create your history

Every path you take you're leaving your legacy

Every soldier dies in his glory

Every legend tells of conquest and liberty

Every day create your history

Every page you turn you're writing your legacy

Every hero dreams of chivalry

Every child should sing together in harmony

All nations sing

Let's harmonize all around the world

How many victims must there be

Slaughtered in vain across the land

(Lord we need your assistence)

And how many children must we see

Before we learn to live as brothers

And create one family oh...

Every day create your history

Every path you take you're leaving your legacy

Every soldier dies in his glory

Every legend tells of conquest and liberty

Every day create your history

Every page you turn you're writing your legacy

Every hero dreams of chivalry

Every child should sing together in harmony

A soldier dies

A mother cries

The promised child shines in a baby's eyes

All nations sing

Let's harmonize all around the world

Little Susie

written & composed by Michael Jackson

Somebody killed little Susie

The girl with the tune

Who sings in the daytime at noon

She was there screaming

Beating her voice in her doom

But nobody came to her soon...

A fall down the stairs

Her dress torn

Oh the blood in her hair...

A mystery so sullen in air

She lie there so tenderly

Fashioned so slenderly

Lift her with care,

Oh the blood in her hair...

Everyone came to see

The girl that now is dead

So blind stare the eyes in her head...

And suddenly a voice from the crowd said

This girl lived in vain

Her face bear such agony, such strain...

But only the man from next door

Knew Little Susie and how he cried

As he reached down

To close Susie's eyes...

She lie there so tenderly

Fashioned so slenderly

Lift her with care

Oh the blood in her hair...

It was all for God's sake

For her singing the tune

For someone to feel her despair

To be damned to know hoping is dead and you're doomed

Then to scream out

And nobody's there...

She knew no one cared...

Father left home, poor mother died

Leaving Susie alone

Grandfather's soul too had flown...

No one to care

Just to love her

How much can one bear

Rejecting the needs in her prayers...

Neglection can kill

Like a knife in your soul

Oh it will

But Susie fought so hard to live...

She lie there so tenderly

Fashioned so slenderly

Lift her with care

So young and so fair

Smile

words written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons

music composed by Charles Chaplin

(a tribute to Charlie Chaplin taken from the stage version of 'Smile')

Smile, though your heart is aching

Smile, even though it's breaking

When there are clouds in the sky

You'll get by...

If you smile

With your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you'll just...

Light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you'll just...

Smile, though your heart is aching

Smile, even though it's breaking

When there are clouds in the sky

You'll get by...

If you smile

Through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you'll just Smile...

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you'll just Smile

§ HIStory的MV中出现的雕像

原版历史宣传的雕像样式放在布拉格市郊的一座山上,高达9米(真实雕像并没有那部宣传片里那么高大,但也很可观),原先是矗立着斯大林的塑像。同样的塑像做了共做了5个,还在泰晤士河等著名河流上用轮船载漂过,作为宣传手段。但现在《历史》专辑宣传结束后,这些塑像也基本拆除,毕竟这些只是宣传手段而已。

但是现在全球各地又都建立了MJ的history雕像。

12米高的塑像已经于7月3日至5日在瑞士正式展出

巴黎街头将现迈克尔雕像

上海也将建立
