In the holidays, i did lots of fun things but of them all my favourite was going to see a Michael Jackson tribute concert. Michael Jackson is my favourite singer and going to see the tribute concert was one best things I've ever done. I went to the tribute with my Sister, Dad, his girlfriend, and her daughter Katy. We are all big Michael Jackson fans but some of the people there absolutely worshipped him! The person in front of me had a life size picture of his face tattooed on their back! There was also a little boy dressed in a sparkly M.J outfit (complete with white glove!) he looked just like young Jacko! The show started with one of Michael's latest songs 'Jam' and we were all shocked by the blindingly bright light and loud bang that announced the start of the song. 'Jam' was followed by 'Smooth Criminal' which i personally thought was one of his best dances. Michael Jackson was played by the hugely talented Amir Sharma who sang, danced and even looked like M.J. When Amir really started to relax, you got the feeling that the magic of Michael Jackson was in the room. One of the songs i really enjoyed was 'Thriller' because it was really funny when the backing dancers came on as zombies and carried Amir away! Take a look at Michael Jackson's real video for 'Thriller' at the bottom of this post... Hope it doesn't scare you too much!!! Although i enjoyed 'Thriller', my favourite song of the night was 'Billy Jean' because when he sang it, he sounded just like Michael Jackson and he performed it with a strong passion which had the audience singing along by the end of the song. I also liked this part of the show because it was the only song in which he danced M.J's signature move- the Moonwalk.
I also liked his performance for ‘smooth criminal’ because the dance moves were just how Michael Jackson does them in his music video for the song. Take a look at his awesome moves yourself in this music video...
Two other highlights of my holiday were visiting Kings Lynn with my grandparents and going to Holkham beach. I went to Holkham with my Mum, sister, and god mother Claudette. It was really nice going out with Claudette because we hardly ever see her anymore. We arrived in Holkham at around 10:00am and treated ourselves to cream tea at a pretty little cafe. Then we strolled down to the beach and continued walking till we reached Wells. When we finally got into the town, my feet ached so much that every step felt like i was standing on glass! After looking around the shops and having some lunch, we waited by the bus stop for the 'coasthopper' which would take us back to the car. We went to kings Lynn on the Wednesday on the second week of half term. We started our trip by going to the old gaol house where we learnt lots about the punishments they gave out in the olden days. After that, we had a nice lunch in a small underground cafe called 'The crypt' and wandered around in the beautiful sunny weather for a while before we headed off to sandringham. It quite hot in Sandrigham woods and so it was lovely walking through the trees and meadows especially with granddad's dog, Fred, lolloping along beside us!
