Kenny Ortega On The Oprah Winfrey Show
Today Oprah Winfrey will have guest Kenny Ortega on her show. Kenny was Michael's creative partner and director of the This Is It stage show. He is also one of the producers for Michael Jackson's This Is It movie. The interview will focus on Michael's final days. Earlier this year, Oprah did a special on her 1993 interview with Michael.

Re: Kenny Ortega On The Oprah Winfrey Show
Posted by Rosy89 on Oct 16, 2009 at 11:41 AMI will be watching Kenny O on Oprah and I really respect hIs work and the way he loved MJJ UNCONDITIONALLY all these years. Kenny has always been good to MJJ and I cry everytime I see him and Travis's talk about the last night with MJ at the Staple Center. I pray Kenny bring some of the performer that MJ hand picked with him to the show and maybe they will give the audience and the fan a little view of more of MJ was working on for the film.
Thank You Kenny and Travis for always assisting our Michael with his shows - I look forward to what you have to say on the O!
Everyone is the industry is finally realizing how much we at MJ Fan Nation love our MJ, his Legacy, His Children, Mother Katherine, Sibling, Friends, and Fans! MJ Fan Nation is empowed and pushing the MJ agenda forward! Love you forever MJ
I will watch Oprah show because she reach almost a 50 million people daily all over the U.S. & World and we need to completely sell out all movie seats until they have to add other seats and time. We need the world to remember who MJ is as an artist and Kenny will protray MJ in a positive manner and so will Oprah. I want to Thanks you all for listening to another prospective on watching the Oprah Show - all for the love of my man Michael Joseph Jackson ! This is bigger than Oprah W this is MJ's destiny.
Rosy!

Re: Kenny Ortega On The Oprah Winfrey Show
Posted by injerithriller44 on Oct 16, 2009 at 5:49 PMI jsut watched a good clip. Ortega looks very good dscusiing about Michael Jackson with oprah and seems very emotional. You can tell he cared very much for MJ. He still misses Michael and says he can't believe is not here and to him he feels Mj presence all the time. What a loss. If we who never met Michael jackson feel that way, what about those who saw him everyday especially his last days. He is explaining about last day of MIchael jackson rehearsals. Michael looks gorgeous. I am so overwhelmed by Michael's demise and looking at this clips right now on Oprah winfrey show on CBS makes me feel so sad. Mj was a music genious and even during rehearsals he looked even better than some musicians. I know Michael rested from his haters although some of them seem to hate him even in death-so sad to speak. I love Michael. Thank you Kenny Ortega for that interview. Be blessed. Long live King of POP. As I said he looks fit more than some alive musicians.

Posted by mimihuster on Oct 16, 2009 at 7:18 PMUh, Kenny Ortega is not on The Oprah Winfrey Show in San Diego.... I just tuned in and all I saw was Mike Tyson?? So I checked the info button and nothing about Ortega being on there. What's up with that? Anyone else have the same problem or does he come on later?
Disappointed!
OK, so glad I DVR'ed it.... he came on later... loved how Winfrey oozzed about MJ (sarcastically saying) after her terrible tribute a few weeks ago if you can really call it that! Ortega did a great job!

Posted by IreneLovesMichael on Oct 17, 2009 at 2:13 AMWOW, WOW, WOW! I just watched Kenny Ortega talking about Michael and MJ's THIS IS IT Movie on Oprah today, 10/16/09. You can tell Kenny Ortega really LOVED, RESPECTED and ADMIRED Michael so much!!! Just from the way Kenny spoke so affectionately about Michael. The new Movie Clips of "The Way You Make Me Feel" of Michael was SO AMAZING. Michael looked so Good, A little Skinny but still Vintage Michael Jackson.
Oprah was neutral but she did say this Movie was going to be a MEGA HIT and that said she will be going to a real theatre to see MJ's THIS IS IT Movie. Kenny gave Oprah a 12 Minutes Sneak Peak of the Movie and she said the World has truly suffered a HUGE LOSS (our Beautiful Micheal). Also, I read that Oprah's has an daily audience of 50 Million People WORLDWIDE. This is AWESOME PR FOR our BELOVED MJ to encourage complete sell out for the 2 Weeks Showings.
This was such a HUGE Opportunity for POSITIVE PUBLICITY to get the word out about MJ's MOVIE just in case some people have been living under a rock or on another planet. I was VERY PLEASE with Kenny Ortega's Interview on Oprah today and you can tell that Kenny has POURED his HEART AND SOUL into making the THIS IS IT Movie the Best it can be for Michael's Great Legacy.
Also, earlier tonight I saw on Access Hollywood that it's reported that Prince, Paris and Blanket ANXIOUSLY would like their grandmother Katherine to let them see their Dad's movie at a Private Screening provided by Sony and AEG.
Love you Mike ALWAYS and FOREVER,
Irene

Posted by MendicelloWilson59 on Oct 17, 2009 at 5:27 AMPersonal note to Kenny:
We are a select few that got to know Michael on a personal level. What an honor it has been for me. You are a wonderful friend to do this for Michael. Even though he was such a perfectionist and likely wouldn't like sharing his work until it was mastered, he's happy about this. I just know in my heart he is smiling.
God Bless you for putting up with him. His exact words to me were "Kenny is the master and he tolerates my inability to let things go unless they are perfect". Your wonderful work speaks for itself and with the death of Patrick now, your work will live on for a very long time!!!
I wish Oprah would have given you more than 16 minutes because I know you could talk about your experiences for a very long time, just as I do.
Good that you were able to go on Oprah to get the word out to the 10 or 12 people on the planet that don't know the movie is coming. I bought 50 tickets the first day they went on sale and another 100 when I learned it was showing in an I-Max theater. Every person in my ER department will see this movie. You were absolutely correct in your response to Oprah saying "This will likely be the Mega hit of all time" and you answered that Michael deserved it: this is beyond true. Way to Go!!! If anyone deserves the top spot in our generation, it would be Michael.
I thought your story about the 3am phone call about fire-flys and then looking up the definition was SUPERB!! Michael is all that and more; especially when you've known him as long as we have.
Kenny; it was great to hear you talk about "This Is It" and hope that others will have you on to talk more extensively about "This is It" and working with the master of song and dance. We are a small hand full of "real friends/family" that haven't sold him out...Do you know how lucky we are?
Again, Superb!!!!!
T.Mendicello, M.D.

Posted by ndjones on Oct 20, 2009 at 6:44 PMI'm not an Oprah fan and feel it was her lame attempt to revive her popularity after her "Tribute to Michael Jackson" fiasco.
Question: If Arnold Klein was Michael Jackson's dermatologist how could he not have been aware of all the needle marks on Michael's body ?? If so why didn't he seek help for Michael or why did he continue to treat him ??
