*DIRTY DIANA* 

                     

     THE ORIGINS OF THE SONG AND THEIR STORY....

Part One...

People cannot understand why Michael would write this obviously unflattering song about the love of Michael's life. What they don't get, is that at the time of this song's release  Michael was expecting to MARRY DIANA! But she was too scared of public opinion.. So this is why he was so hurt and angry. DD was a REVENGE RANT. It was not a love or admiration song.. And it was NOT about Princess Di. 

MJ released DD in 1987, And MJ did not even meet Princess Di till July 18 1988! It was not about the Princess... 

  The Beginning....

In 1975.  Diana's then best friend. ( Producer Debra Chase) talked a/b being in the limo, going to the Mahogany premier with' Diana. She said Di told the driver to stop and pick up her date. Debra said she was wondered why her date didn't pick_ HER_up...But as they pulled into a private estate,, She KNEW why. She was shocked to see Diana's date. A young baby faced  kid with a huge smile as he gazed adoringly at Diana. He had not even noticed Debra. As he climbed in, Debra kept starring thinking it couldn't be! But it was. It was a baby faced, 17 year old Michael Jackson!! He got in and kissed Diana deeply in the mouth, before he spotted Debra and pulled back in surprise. Debra said she was floored because he was MICHAEL and he was only 17! But soon after this, they were all over Hollywood. hugging/ kissing/ holding hands.etc.  .Half the town of knew about them...Especially because MJ and Di often visited their 3 favorite hotels.

The Beverly hills Hotel:

The Serenade B/B   (MJ later bought this for Diana as a gift)

The Hard Rock hotel in Vegas( The hard

(The hard Rock later dedicated their fave suite to them because they were there so much!!)

Michael was on cloud 9 because he was dating the LOHL, At 19, she took his virginity. by 20, he was begging her to marry him. She finally agree in early 80s after they came back from a Liberian Vacation (They chose that venue because Diana has Liberian Roots, and still has family out there.. MJ loved to tease her about it...Also, It was in Liberia that Diana finally accepted his ring. MJ had been working on a new song. It was about Diana and he was going to call it Pyramid girl. (in keeping  with RTT theme)  But he was so happy and excited that Di took his ring, he renamed the song Liberian Girl   And added this Line: 

I'lll WAIT FOR THE DAY - WHEN YOU HAVE TO SAY (I DO! ) 

AND I'LL SMILE AND SAY IT TOO!! 

I LOVE YOU LIBERIAN GIRL!!! 

                                                    

He was soooo excited and elated at the prospect of having Diana, he couldn't wait to do it..

But when they got back to the states, He tried with all his might to pin her down on a wedding date, but Diana stalled and made excuses. Her fear was rearing it's head again... MJ was so frustrated and angry, he dedicated the song to Liz Taylor. He did this to piss Diana off because he knew she did not like Liz. Elizabeth found it hilarious because she also knew Diana did not like her...  They worked it out with Diana pouting because Mike dedicated the song to Liz. But he told her Everyone would know it wasn't about Liz so it didn't matter..

In  late 1984, They went  to tell his mother  that they were getting .married. Di was very nervous, and hoping for her blessing. But it didn't go well.  Katherine Jackson lost it! Her face was cold and resolute when she told Diana she was too old for her son, and she was Soiling him! It turned into a yelling match with Diana in tears and Michael furious! He stood, and told his mother, he was going to MARRY Diana with or without her blessing!

But his mom had other ideas. She immediately called some reporter friends and told them Diana was trying to marry her too young son. And she was too old for him. They agreed with her and told her they would take care of it. With that, they began to follow and harrass Diana everywhere she went. They called her cradle robber,, baby fucker, and slut. Di was distressed and upset. Michael kept telling her once they got married, everyone would accept it, and it would be ok. But she had cold feet, and told him she had to go on vaca alone to think. But while there, she met Arne, and ran off with him..

This is what Michael was talking about in several songs:

WHO IS IT..... 

She promised me forever and a day we'd live as one! 

 We made a vow of love forever true!! 

 Seems that she has left me for some reason                 unexplained I need to find the truth!

 But see what will I do??

 And she didn't leave a letter she just up and ran away! 

WII refers (Obviously) to losing Diana suddenly while engaged to her and awaiting marriage!  You can tell (Promised me forever and a day) refers to a Promise of MARRIAGE. He was talking about Diana promising repeatedly to marry him -then up and leaving without even leaving him a letter or anything! Worse even than losing her, MJ struggled for yrs to understand WHY? He kept asking what he had done wrong....

I'm so Blue ..... 

There you are as cold as ice, asking me to LOVE YOU - and AFTER BE YOUR FRIEND!!  

She told me she was giving me a lifetime of love forever, true. But she LEFT ME FOR ANOTHER  MAN, ..

 I CAN'T REVEAL- I'm holdin on!   

I  WANT YOU STILL TO LOVE ME _ 

I FEEL I AM  YOUR FOOL!!

ISB... refers to Diana doing the back and forth. Diana continued to sleep with Mike for Yrs thru her marriage and his( (faux marriage). But she would constantly tell other ppl, they were like family!!  Obviously wanting the public to think they had a (JUST GOOD FRIENDS) type relationship You see Mike speaks of her leaving him for another man and Him barely being able to hand on and feeling like a fool... Mike often spoke of being Diana's fool because he loved her soooo much it was hard for him to refuse her anything. So when she wanted to keep their relationship (IN THE CLOSET)  It was extremely difficult for him because it meant going against  EVERYTHING  he ever wanted in order to accommodate her...

BLUE GANGSTA.....  

YOU SAID YOU'D BE MY WIFE!!  

NOTHING BUT BIG LIES!!  

 People telling me -You got another guy!

Now I can never fall in love!  

Self explanatory, Mike was older/bolder/and colder. He was determined to tell the world that Diana had  been stringing  him along for yrs. while promising him someday, they would be OPENLY together and  she would MARRY him! Michael was angry and distraught at the lost years and failed dreams. Also he blamed Diana for not being able to fall OUT OF LOVE WITH HER and move on! 

To understand why, you have to know that DIANA was the one Pushing mike at other women!! She was the one who PICKED STEPHANIE MILLS and encouraged him to stay with Lisa ( for public Image only) when he desperately wanted out, and just wanted to get far away from Lisa..Not because Lisa  was such a bad person, but just because they were NOT compatible and he knew he it. I do believe Lisa loved him, but  HE DID NOT LOVE HER!!  And when Mike was asked several times if HE LOVED Lisa, not once did he EVER say Yes!! He kept saying he CARED & hoped they could be friends .MJ has always known his love was for Diana... 

Now to understand Why Diana, (who did indeed love him) would ever want him with other women.You have to realize that she was too scared to be with him  in the open, but she loved him, and refused to let another woman REALLY have him.. Diana is the one who made MJ take Emanuel Lewis on his dates with Brooke. She felt threatened by Brooke not only because Brooke was beautiful, but because she was  sweet, kind, classy and had a great personality. MJ was deeper that mere flesh. Diana knew He's find Brooke very appealing (far more so than Lisa. because Lisa had a very morose, needy, MOODY, sullen personality... Even Nic Cage described Lisa was the most Miserable person he'd ever known. Her pretty face was a plus, but her nasty vicious acrimonious personality is probably the reason she lacked longevity in most of her relationships..

 Anyway, Di knew Lisa was NO threat to her at all.  This is why Diana wanted MJ to -STAY WITH LISA  so Lisa could be her COVER GIRL>  while she secretly had Mike, and was with him whenever she wanted.  But she felt  Brooke WAS a possible threat, that's why she wasn't comfortable with Brooke dating HER Man, and that's why she demanded he take Manny to keep them from being alone together... This is also why she snatched him away from Stephanie Mills. Stephanie has a great personality and is very charming and soothing.. Mike began to like her TOO MUCH for Diana's taste, so she told MJ to cut it and dump steph now! He reluctantly did because Diana ALWAYS came first...

  So you  begin to see why MJ was putting out such large obvious clues. Because there was much he was being forced to hide by his spoiled, lovable, charming endless love- Diana

This is Part 1  to the beginning of their story,  We'll continue with part 2 in a few days..... thanks...
