http://www.china.org.cn/arts/2010-05/24/content_20107025.htm Jackson guitarist recalls tours with King of Pop Jennifer現在在對岸巡迴這是她在當地的最新訪問 Guitarist Jennifer Batten, recalling her time in Michael Jackson's backing group, called the late King of Pop "an incredibly pure soul," during an interview in Beijing on May 22, 2010. Jennifer在回憶MJ時表示MJ有最不可思義純潔的靈魂 In 1987, Batten was picked by Michael Jackson as his lead guitar. For the next 10 years, she travelled the world and shared the stage with him on the "Bad", "Dangerous" and "HIStory" tours. 87年開始她被選為MJ的首席吉他手在接下來十年跟著MJ經歷了三個世界巡迴 She first met Michael Jackson in person at the dress rehearsal for the "Bad" tour in 1987. She recalls thinking he was "beautiful, gorgeous and radiant". 她第一次見到MJ是在BAD巡演的彩排她回億MJ是非常美麗光采四射的人 She said the "Bad" tour was Jackson's best solo tour. "It was his first solo tour. So I think he enjoyed the power of doing what exactly he wanted to do, not having to compromise with what his brothers would have wanted," she added. 她認為BAD巡演示MJ最好的個人巡演她說:這是MJ第一次的個人巡演我認為他很享受什麼事都能照著自己走的權利不用再配合他兄弟們的需要 On stage, Michael Jackson was very serious because it was "his work, his play," Batten said. But off stage, he liked to crack jokes and have a good time. 在舞台上的MJ是非常嚴肅認真的因為這是他的作品他的工作但舞台下MJ常到處開玩笑享受很多好時光 "The biggest thing that I learnt from him is the importance of entertainment as a whole, beyond just music. Music is the foundation, and then there is connection with the audience on top of that. Whatever form of entertainment, you can do that," she said. 她說: 我向他學到最多的事娛樂產業各個面向的重要性不只是音樂音樂只是一切的基礎之後還有跟觀眾的連結 The tours were a life-changing experience for Batten, especially the first, "Bad" tour. 跟MJ的巡迴改變了她的一生 "I had never been outside of America except to Mexico. So to be able to see the world in that way was unbelievable," she said. The band members worked only 2-3 days a week and had plenty of time to explore the places where they staged gigs. 她說:我從沒去過美國以外的地方除了墨西哥所以能去世界各地看看很不可思議樂手一個禮拜只需工作兩到三天有很多時間去到處走走 Batten said that after Jackson announced his comeback in London in 2009, he considered getting her back in his team, but ultimately he wanted young people to share the stage with him. She concedes this was a "good move". 在MJ宣佈09年TII的演唱會 MJ有考慮把她叫回團隊但他最後希望找更年輕的人她認為這是一個很好的決定 She said her first reaction to Jackson's sudden death on June 25, 2009, was anger rather than sadness. 她說她對於MJ去年驟逝的第一個反應是憤怒大過於悲傷 "I was always angry how the Western press treated him. So unfairly," she said. "The whole scandal about children. I am 100 percent sure it was extortion. It destroyed his spirit." 她說: 我一直對於西方媒體對待他的方式非常憤怒他們對他太不公平了所有和兒童的醜聞我百分之百確定那都是被扭曲的這些摧毀了他的靈魂 This year, Batten will play several tributes to Jackson, one on June 25 in Jackson's hometown in Indiana, and another in Paris on August 29. 她會在今年幾個MJ的致敬演唱會上演出 6/25在MJ印地安納的老家還有8/29在巴黎 Batten is performing at the PALM EXPO 2010 being held at the Agricultural Exhibition Center. After Beijing she will perform in Xi'an and Qingdao. Batten's latest album, "Whatever" was released in 2008 on the Lion Music label. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 130.85.56.85
