Met up with Shrek after work on Wednesday and rushed down to Changi Airport to catch the 7pm MJ tribute, performed by Edward Moss. (A MJ impersonator)

I was impressed by his performance because his dance moves and expressions seemed flawless. It was totally like watching the real MJ live! Yes, the resemblace is uncanny.

Some people had said that he was the closest that one can get to experience "MJ". There were even gifts and posters prepared for this Edward guy by those MJ fans.

(I was thinking, "Why did they honor this guy so much when he is actually just a normal person who just happen to have the talent of looking and dancing like MJ?")

Watch the below video to see his outstanding performance! You can't really tell the difference between the real and fake from afar!

Song: Billie Jean

This was after he changed his costume and sang "I'll be there", one of my favorites.

My feelings for this guy are ironic. There is no denial that he can fool people into thinking that he is MJ, but there will never be another duplication of MJ in terms of personality.

I have my reasons for saying that because I had watched some parodies "making fun" of MJ, and this Edward guy was the one who did it. I am not sure if he is actually attempting to bring glory to MJ or humiliate him. If anyone of you have watched "Scary Movie 3" and 4, you will "see MJ" there, which is actually acted by this Edward guy.

OMG, he really dared to take up roles that would actually place MJ's reputation at risk. (As if MJ didn't had it worse) Check out this video I found: (Although I do admit its funny, but still... ...)

Anyway, back to the tribute...

It lasted for only an hour plus, and there were photo taking sessions for 10 lucky fans onstage. (Okay, I was not one of the lucky ones though. LOL)

Edward appeared in the image of a straight-haired MJ after his performance, and rushed out to greet the excited fans.

I found it quite hilarious when he went "Thank you... Thank you.. I LOVE YOU..!"
=_="

And I was wondering if he was still in character or saying that as himself. (Because he was supposed to be himself but his mannerisms and such are still MJ-like. LOL.)

Someone behind me shouted "I love you too" to him, and he replied "I love you more." (Okay, MJ is famous for saying that. So I guess he was just following whatever he was supposed to.)

Out of a sudden, a young girl shouted "YOU ARE GAY!" Oops. I am not sure if he did hear it, but even if he did, I would bet he'd feign ignorance. Haha.

Anyway... Even though I do not admire him for bringing bad light to MJ in the parody shows, but I would still applaud him for the convincing performance for the tribute.

Nonetheless, I am puzzled at how amazing a makeup process can turn him into a MJ lookalike. (His real face does not resemble MJ at all, not even 1%). But with the makeup on, he is a total lookalike. =_=
