Anthony: Now Michaela from Pennsylvania, who is 14, writes, "Michael, I'm only 14 but I've been a fan since I was 10. You've accomplished so much más than any artist ever. I was just wondering if tu could change one thing about your life, what would tu change?"
Michael: I would like to be able to go out in public and just be normal sometime, without people recognizing who I am, and to get a little bit of a feeling of what it's like to, tu know, be of the regular norm. To see how things are done; to learn what people speak about when they're just casually talking. Cause soon as they see it's Michael Jackson, the conversation changes; it all becomes about me and not about the situation -- the moment, that's happening at the moment. That would... I would learn a lot from that. I don't get to see that unless I disguise myself and put on a lot of things, and then they stare at me, then it's even different; it's not the same even then. So, it's a difficult thing to pull off. Tell him that's a very great pregunta he asked.
Anthony: That's a really interesting question, actually. We have an interesting answer, as well. We have Greg from Glasgow, Scotland, wants to know, "When do tu plan to release the charity song What más Can I Give?"
Michael: Well, it's being, uh.. We're putting the final voices on and, uh, it's coming very, very soon. We're putting it together now; the final touches. It's a very important song for the world. To give some feeling and some loving and some caring to those people who were thrust into orphanage, uh, o just within a matter of segundos they lost their parents and their loved ones, tu know?
Anthony: Absolutely. Um, what are some of the things tu are looking adelante, hacia adelante to; what are your hopes for tu know, the new year. tu know, we're coming down to the end of the year, tu have this album coming out, we've had a lot of tragedies and crisis that we've all faced. Everybody's trying to keep their spirit up. When tu start thinking about 2002, what .. what kind of things come to mind for you?
Michael: Um, film. I amor movies. To do más movies; to integrate the songs with the film. Dancing. And más peace into the world. I pray for peace all the time. And the most important thing I pray for is protection for children and babies. That's the thing that concerns me the most, I like them to be protected and to have más children's rights in the world, where children, tu know, where there's a día for children; a celebration for children. Give them a little más attention and love.
Anthony: Now Sergei from Russia writes in, says, "Michael, sing a cappella for us."
Michael: [laughs] tu know what, I would amor to do it. But believe it o not, I've been sniffling since this interview, I woke up with laryngitis, I caught a cold from the children the other day. My children were sick and I caught their cold. So, tell her I'd amor to do it when I visit their town in concert. And Speechless opens a cappella, on the album, the song Speechless. It's one of my favorites.
Anthony: Opens in an a cappella part?
Michael: It opens and closes a cappella.
Anthony: Now we have a pregunta here from Karen who says that you've helped her since she was a little kid. You've always been one to think about other people; to care for children around the world. "What could we do for you," she wonders. "We give tu all our love, but what más could we give to you?" Obviously one of your great fans here.
Michael: When I come to town, I would amor to see a children's festival, to hear children's choirs, uh, tu know, pretty much present when I come to different countries, canto some of their favorito! songs of mine. Uh, we should forge and create a children's day, a celebration Internationally, where children are honored. Where parents can take their children to the cine o to the toy store o to the park. And that, alone, will create a bonding. Because the family bond has been broken. They don't eat with their children o speak to their children much anymore, o mother their children. And I would amor to see a celebration for children. Children's Day; a holiday. We have Mothers Day, Fathers día -- no Children's day. And, uh, I would amor when I come to town just to see them sing songs, o a parade o something. I would amor that.
Anthony: Michael, we have one last question. It was a great pleasure talking with you. We have Emanuel, who is 16, from the US. Says, "Mr. Jackson, what would say to all your fans that have dreams and goals of being a estrella like you?"
Michael: No matter what, the most powerful thing in the world is the human mind and prayer, and belief in your self and confidence and perseverance. No matter how many times tu do it, tu do it again until it's right. And always believe in your self. And not matter who's around tu that's being negative o thrusting negative energy at you, totally block it off. Because whatever tu believe, tu become.
Anthony: They say that the thing that most affects people, o the way that tu can really tell someone's had a successful life is the way that they deal with success o the way they deal with failure o challenges. That sounds like what you're saying.
Michael: Yes, and after all that, the most important -- most important: Stay humble. The humbleness that a child, like a new born baby has. Even though tu become powerful o have power with people, with your talent .. like with what Michelangelo did with sculpting, tu know, underneath all that be as humble as a child, as a baby, and be as kind and as giving and loving. They don't become puffed up with pride.
Anthony: I think we're gonna sneak in one last pregunta here from someone called Invincible103, "Halloween is coming up. Do tu have plans to, uh, kind of dress up; do tu have plans for a halloween party?"
Michael: Uh, no. I was going to just go trick o treating. Go out, knock on some doors and get some candy. I amor trick o treat. It's one of my favorito! ones. I amor dressing up like some kind of monster o something and knocking on the doors. No body knows it's me, and I get candy.
Anthony: Now if Michael Jackson turns up at your door, people.
Michael: [giggles]
Anthony: Sure, wouldn't it be nice to have some nice things on hand for him. Well, Michael it was great, great pleasure talking to you. A lot of fun, and uh, everybody wishes tu the best with your new record. We're all looking adelante, hacia adelante to it.
Michael: Thank tu so much and God bless you. Thank you.
Anthony: Thank tu very much.
