Michael Jackson was a kid at heart, and stopped by the Mickey Mouse Club when it filmed at Florida’s Disney-MGM Studios in 1990.Former Mouseketeers Damon Pampolina, Albert Fields and Chasen Hampton fondly remember the King of Pop’s visit.
”He was larger than life. He believed in the Disney Magic. He loved our show, and said he used to watch it every day if he could. That alone made me bust at the seams with excitement.He was telling us that he was our fan. What power onstage, and such a beautiful man offstage. He was never scared to say what most of us won’t.I never thought that he was a molester or pedophile or any of that craziness.I thought people were trying to take advantage of him.What no one can take away from Michael is the “It” factor. He was literally kissed by God to have that talent.”
There is absolutely no other performer on earth who can touch his magnetism, energy and danceability. But his showmanship live, if you haven’t seen it, I don’t know if it will ever exist again. I don’t see it in our human lifetime. I don’t think it will ever be touched again. There’ll never be another Elvis. There will never be another Michael.”
