http://tinyurl.com/yf3ycss 同樣只翻講到老大的片段 What was Michael Jackson's state of mind 13 hours before he was pronounced dead? 在他去世前13個小時 "He was happy, he was smiling, he was laughing with us," remembers Daniel Celebre, who was a principal dancer in the superstar's This Is It comeback tour. 他很開心他微笑他跟我們一起笑 Celebre had been rehearsing with Jackson in Los Angeles "for three months, eight hours a day, and he always danced full out. His energy was amazing, man." In fact, on June 24, the last day of Jackson's life, director Kenny Ortega staged the show and "we ran through the whole thing and finished at about 1:30 in the morning," Celebre, a dancer based in Toronto, recalled in an interview yesterday at the midtown BDX dance studio. 他們在24號一路採排到隔天凌晨1:30 "The feeling was unbelievable. Michael was at the top of his game. People who had known him for years said he'd never danced better. 當時的感覺太難以相信了 MJ在他的巔峰認識他好幾年的人說他沒有跳過這麼好 (有沒有這麼誇張) "We even ran `Thriller' for the first time in costume and the people from wardrobe were in the audience crying. They told us `You guys don't understand how amazing it looks.'" 我們第一次採排了Thriller 而觀眾裡的人看了都哭了他們說你們不知道看起來效果有多好 When asked if Jackson seemed tired or under strain, Celebre shook his head emphatically. "Every day he looked fly, but that day, he was better than ever. He looked young, man. His form was so perfect." 當問到老大是不是看起來很累或壓力很大他說他每天看起來就像在飛一樣但那天他特別棒看起來很年輕他的狀態超完美 (讓我想到迴光返照四個字 Q Q......) Every evening Jackson and the dancers would say goodnight to each other. That night was no exception. "We always hugged. I said `Hey Mikey, I love you,' and he said, `I love you too, bro.'" 每個晚上 MJ會和舞者們道晚安那天也不例外我們總是會擁抱我會說我愛你他會回說我也愛你 And that's the last Celebre ever saw of Jackson. 那是他最後一次看到老大 The next day is a hard one for the 24-year-old to remember, because it ended a longtime dream. Celebre was born in Nobleton, Ont., from "a large and close-knit Italian family." His mother took him to jazz and tap lessons at the age of 4. Soon he was into hip hop, breakdancing and his favourite, electric boogaloo, "which I tried to do just like Michael Jackson." He did lots of club, promotional, TV and movie work, playing opposite Hilary Duff as the dance double for the male lead in the climactic scene of The Lizzie McGuire Movie when he was only 18. But in 2007, "I stopped dancing, for personal reasons. I wanted to be the best dancer I could be and all people wanted were the stunts I could do. `Can this guy spin on his head? Can he do the flip?' Of course I could, but I knew I could be so much more than that and so I just walked away." His father had taken over La Salumeria, the Italian deli on Yonge near Davisville, so Celebre joined him there. On April 10, he was "slicing some mortadella" when he got a call from his Toronto agent, Peter da Costa. "I know you've been turning down every job I've offered you for two years, but you always said the only person you'd come back for is Michael Jackson. Well, you've got an audition for him tomorrow. Get out here." 以上落落長總而言之就是他停止跳舞了而他唯一會回去跳舞的原因是MJ 而他經紀人打電話跟他說MJ要開始找舞者試鏡 At first, Celebre resisted, but his father said, "Daniel, you're going on the plane tomorrow. Hurry up." 他一開始想拒絕但他爸爸催他去 He was giddy with excitement, rather than nail-bitingly nervous. "Everybody else on the line was stressing out. I just kept dancing. `What are you nervous about, people?' I'd tell 'em. `This is Michael. Let's have fun.'" They whittled the dancers from 500 to 250 and finally to 10. After he made the last cut, he met Jackson. 以上試鏡情形總之他進到最後十人 "I shook his hand. It was huge, man. He had the glasses, the hair, the black suit. We stood there and I thought, `You're nothing but love, man.'" 他握了老大的手老大的手很大帶著太陽眼鏡穿著黑西裝他當時想 MJ就是愛阿!! Celebre loved the rehearsals and hard work that made everybody better and better. And then came June 25. 他愛每天的彩排和工作每天越來越好直到6/25號那天 "We were all sitting in our dressing rooms, ready to start rehearsals. I was watching a clip of Mikey doing `Ease on Down the Road' from The Wiz on my computer. 他們都在更衣室等著要採排他當時正從電腦在看老大的Wiz "We never had the TV on, but somebody had put it on 'cause Farrah Fawcett had just passed. Then we started to get the news about Mikey.... People were running down the halls screaming. Some fell to their knees. Everybody was crying. Everybody." 他們從來都沒有打開電視但是哪天有人開了電視因為霹靂嬌娃的女星Farrah Fawcett 過世了然後新聞就開始報老大的事情全部的人都跑下樓尖叫著很多人跪在地上每個人都在哭每一個人 The rehearsals were filmed and will now be released as the much-anticipated movie This Is It on Oct. 28, but Celebre hates recalling the funeral, the memorial, "all those things that rub my nose in the fact that he's gone." 他很討厭想起葬禮和追思會的事情因為一直提醒他老大離開了 Celebre prefers to recall the first day of rehearsal. 他比較想要回憶起採排的第一天 "He told us he was taking us on an awesome adventure ... and he did." 老大告訴他們他要帶大家去一趟很棒的冒險而他確實做到了 Q Q..... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 68.50.148.65
