Samantha Mumba shares her 2006 experience of meeting Michael Jackson in Dubai:

“Meeting Michael was like the closest thing I will ever get to meeting a saint.He had this amazing aura to him.He was very spiritual and magical,even mythical.I was just in awe of him.The guy doesn’t have a bad bone in his body.He was so kind and had this incredible way with him.

I didn’t know what to expect to be honest because you read and hear so much about him.When I walked into the room he was the most humble,warm,friendly person you could ever wish to meet.He also had a hilarious sense of humour.He kept cracking these jokes that had me in fits of laughter.It was weird because I was thinking ‘I’m standing in a room having a hoot with Michael Jackson.Nobody is ever going to believe this’.

Everyone in the music business knows he has made history.But I can still see him making another great album.I would love to see him perform.He’s a perfectionist so that’s why it takes him so long to release material.But I’d definitely be going along to see him in concert if he did a gig in Ireland.”

Samantha Mumba is an Irish singer and actress.Her first album was released in 2000,and her last in 2010.

From their very first date, at a dinner party staged by a mutual friend, Michael and Lisa hit it off. Raised at her father’s impregnable home, Graceland, she had much in common with the world’s most famous pop star, cloistered away in Neverland. Both had been sheltered from the real world, missed out on their childhoods and were mistrustful of outsiders.

They believed they were soul mates.

Michael was openly flirtatious, and Lisa was impressed by his private candour and normality. As they talked, she began to feel she was seeing the real Michael, the man behind the mask.

His sexuality, admittedly, still seemed ambiguous, but he was soon kissing her fairly passionately. She was certainly attracted to him. Lisa liked strange guys, with an edge. And who had more of an edge than Michael?

Throughout the time of his obsession with Jordie Chandler, Jackson dated Lisa intermittently. After he was accused of abusing the boy, he sought her support in long, anguished phone calls.

‘Yes, I started falling for him,’ Lisa explained. ‘I wanted to help him, and I felt that I could.’

As he spiralled into drug addiction, she stood by him.

During one of their phone calls, he wanted to know how she would respond if he asked her to marry him. It could have been a joke but, without missing a beat, she replied: ‘I would do it.’

Michael and Lisa began spending more and more time together and would talk regularly on the phone. They spent the weekend at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, said to be the weekend they first slept together. Trump reported he saw them on several occasions holding hands at the beach, or hugging and kissing around the estate. “It was romantic,” Donald Trump recalled.”Later I got to ask him how things were going and he said:

‘Great. I just got to kiss the most beautiful girl in the world. I hope I’m worthy of her. I think I might marry her.’”

—————————-

‘My love for you is real,’ he told her. ‘Please believe me.’

At Neverland, the two walked hand in hand and then kissed at the top of the Ferris wheel.

She slept with him in his bedroom. For Michael, it was the first time he had experienced such chemistry with a woman, or with anyone.

He seemed unable to contain his laughter. ‘I’ve never known a person like her,’ he said.

He and Lisa appear to have had an intense and active sex life. She told a friend that he was ‘hot stuff in bed’ and ‘amazing’  -  and she should know, the friend added, because ‘she’s been around’.

Nevertheless, some of his habits were a little odd.

The first time, she went to turn on the lights afterwards, and he leapt out of bed and ran into the bathroom so she wouldn’t see his body. He emerged 20 minutes later, in full make-up and wearing a silk robe. Then they went at it again.

‘He liked her to wear jewellery in bed. They were into role-playing games, although Lisa would never say who was playing what kind of role.’

When Lisa didn’t become immediately pregnant, he expressed his disappointment.

‘I thought we’d be expecting within a couple of weeks of making love,’ he said. ‘Lisa says it takes time, but I don’t have time. I want it to happen now. I want children so badly.’

Michael Bush said MJ once called in the middle of the night and asked:

“What’s the one thing that every man,woman and child in the world knows?”

Mickey Mouse was the first thing that came to Bush’s mind.But eating utensils were what MJ was thinking.

He said: “How are you going to make that into clothing for me?”’

The result was a jacket(see the pic) with knives,forks and spoons hanging from the front.

“Michael calls it his dinner jacket,that’s the humour,the human side that no one knows,” Bush said.

If you were the only people working for Michael at that time, who did the cooking? I think it was Teddy Riley or Akon who said that Michael would cook for his children when they recorded songs in London.

Bill Whitfield: MJ did prepare meals for his kids.

So he cooked,or opened a TV dinner?

Bill Whitfield: lol… he,cooked.

When you worked for him, did he have a large entourage working for him? Or was it just you guys security,the nanny,and his cook?

Bill Whitfield : Just 3 security,nanny wasn’t around much,he prepared food for his kids… different things,we’ll get into that in the book.FYI,there was a cook on occasion,but MJ prepared his kids food at least 3-4 times a week.

Bill Whitfield : We called MJ “SIR,” and he would say, “You guys dont have to call me SIR.” We would then say, “Ok, SIR.” He started laughing.

Bill,will you talk about Michael’s disguises and where he would go in the book?

Bill Whitfield:  Yes.

A fan replies that even in disguise,Michael’s trademark loafers and white socks would always give him away.

Bill Whitfield: You are so right about those loafers and white socks — I told him that many times,but he didn’t believe me.I also said, “Sir,people know your walk.” It’s a big give away.

May we know what cologne MJ wore?

Bill Whitfield: Yves Saint Laurent,Cartier,Armani…just to name a few.Black Orchid as well.

What was Michael’s favorite flower?

Bill Whitfield: Honestly,I don’t know if he had a favorite flower,however I did buy white and red roses a few times at his request for the house.

I remember reading in a book that Michael requested Subway sandwiches at times some years ago. Was that the truth or is that incorrect?

Bill Whitfield: I took him to Subway a few times,he loved it.

Bill,it was known in the past that Michael loved to talk on the phone! Did he still talk on the phone for hours and hours?

Bill Whitfield: $3,000 monthly cell phone bill,What do you think?
