You Wanna Be Starting Something - Was It Really Michael Jackson at the O2 ?

Lots of speculation regarding the authenticity of the plasticised figure who appeared at the O2 to publicise the forthcoming concerts.
For example:
"Something didn`t seem quite right. There was that impossibly square chin, for a start - a bizarre cosmetic enhancement, even for Michael Jackson. Then there was the voice, several octaves lower than the dog-whistle whisper the King of Pop normally adopts in front of his adoring fans. Study the walk as well - a slightly hunched gait you might not expect from someone who ranks among the world`s most spectacular dance performers."
One site draws attention to his hands (fingers not long enough to be Michael`s, apparently). Another suggests he was too tall.
But why use a lookalike? The (speculative) theory is that Jackson - filmed falling on the steps of his minibus before it left for the Arena - was either injured or too ill to appear in person. With millions at stake in ticket sales, who would be bold enough to disappoint the waiting fans and international broadcasters now?
Spoof stories about him are rife, including one detailing how an impersonator has been fooling fans for years after MJ`s corpse was found on his Neverland ranch. See below:

Hmm so the real Jacko and an impersonator switched places, following the real ones death the imposter assumes his identity ...All we need is a Texan retirement home and JFK and weve got an idea for a film here...hang on a sec, wasnt the JFK assasination faked and he was dyed black to hide his identity? ..Jacko was black now hes white...all this is falling into place!
So which one was the one handing out the Jesus juice? :p

I think an imposter, probably employed by the Jackson camp, might be trying to discredit my posting with that onion slur. Michael/The Imposter ? has people all over the world who try to ensure he gets a good press no matter what people might really be thinking - bit like Paris Hilton, the Osbournes, Ginger Harry etc etc......... ;) ;)
