http://tinyurl.com/2bq845d Austin Brown Talks About Uncle Michael In Interview 有提到MJ的部分 (27-10-2010) In a new interview with Ian Drew for US Magazine, singer Austin Brown talks about growing up in his famous family and about some of the things his Uncle Michael taught him. An excerpt of the interview follows: US: What was your uncle Michael Jackson really like? 真實的MJ是? AB: My uncle was always big on teaching my cousins and me about song structure. He would like to break down songs -- he would always start with the base line, and then start humming a melody. He wanted to teach me how things came together, how to portray my voice and where music came from. The main thing with my uncle was just the love he showed all of us and how caring and giving he was to other people as well. The most important lesson that he showed us was charity and giving back. All of this meant nothing if you weren't giving anything back. 我舅舅總是教我和其他堂表兄弟姊妹歌曲的組成 像他總是從base開始 然後是旋律 他想 要教我們整個曲子是怎麼形成的 如何展現我的聲音 還有音樂從哪來的 我舅舅最主要的 就是愛 他展現了關懷和給予 他告訴我們最重要的一課就是慈善事業和回饋 如果你不回饋 的話這一切都不算甚麼了 US: Absolutely. What were some of the personal things that you got to do with him? Did you go on the rides at Neverland or go bowling? 有甚麼比較私人相處的時光? 夢幻莊園? 打保齡球? AB: Yeah, we would go on rides and eat candy and watch movies. I know this might sound cliché but it was just like anybody hanging out with their relatives. 我們會去坐遊樂器材 吃糖果看電影 我知道聽起來有點陳腔濫調 但就是大家和親戚會做的 US: It's been a year since his death. What do you look back on and what was all that like? It must’ve been very tragic and completely emotional losing someone who was a mentor to you? 距離他去是一年多了 你回頭看想法? AB: Yeah, to this day it's hard for me to talk about. It just hurt me that much. What I'll always remember were the wonderful memories that he gave us. And for me, as a child, I remember the lessons and love he showed me -- unconditional love. 直到今天我仍然很難討論 對我來說太傷心了 我永遠會記得和他美好的回憶 我記得他教 我的還有 他對我無私的愛 US: How are his kids doing? Are they musical? 他的孩子們好嗎 他們是音樂家? AB: All of my cousins are musical in some way. We all have the music bug and we all love music -- every last one of us. 我所有的堂表兄弟姊妹都算一定程度的音樂家 我們的全部都熱愛音樂 每一個都是 US: Do you think any of Michael's kids will go on and join you and do music as well? 你想有任何MJ的孩子會走上音樂之路? AB: I'm not sure. I think their main focus is just being kids. 不確定 我想他們現在首要的是就當小孩子 US: You also knew Prince. That's very interesting because Prince and your uncle didn’t get along so well, right? 你也認識王子 這很有趣 因為王子和你舅舅不是處不好嗎 AB: That's actually not true! My uncle actually told me a couple years ago that they talked about doing stuff together again, but it just never happened. When I saw Prince a few years back he was giving my uncle props and saying how much he loved his voice. So I don't know how true it is that they didn't get along because that's not what I saw. 這完全不是真的 我舅舅前幾年還跟我講過他們兩個要合作一點東西 只是最後從沒發生 我幾年前碰到王子的時候 他還說他很愛我舅舅的聲音 我不知道大家說他們不合的依據 在我看來並沒有 US: I also heard you wrote a song about your uncle Michael called "I Never Will Forget," and it's supposed to be amazing. 我也聽說你為你舅舅寫了一首歌叫Never will forget 應該很棒 AB: It's the fastest I've ever written a song. I wrote it in five minutes because the emotions were just pouring out of me. It's the most special song I ’ve ever written, and I just can't wait for people to hear it! 這是我寫過最快的一首歌 五分鐘就寫好了 因為所有的情緒向我襲來 這是我寫過最特別 的歌 我等不及要讓大家聽了 To read the full interview with Austin, please click here.

In a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe. ~~~~By Michael Jackson --
