Q: Michael, your ファン want to know your ideas about a first date!
MJ: On a first date, I like to bring a girl over to my house for a barbeque and a swim, especially on a warm summery evening! I know that some chicks get mad if あなた don't take them somewhere fancy and spend alot of money on them on a date, but I'm not interested in those kinds of girls. I want someone who I can feel comfortable with just sitting and talking to, または sharing a fun, casual time with! I'm not sayin' that we wouldn't ever go out. I 愛 to go out to movies, concerts, and restaurants, but I think it's important to know one another on a first date, and あなた can't if あなた go to watch somethin' all night!
Q: Are あなた a 'gentleman' on a date?
MJ: I never gave it much thought. Opening doors for girls is something that I just do automatically without thinking, like scratchin' my head when it itches! When you're taught all your life to do polite things for girls, あなた just can't forget it! It's 秒 nature to you, like breathing または tapping your feet to music!
Q: How do あなた feel about キス on a first date?
MJ: I can dig it! I think that if あなた dig a chick enough to ask her out, you're crazy if あなた don't want to キッス her. And, if she accepted the date, she likes あなた and probably wants to be kissed. So, I couldn't think of any reason why あなた shouldn't! I think I'd like to wait 'till the end of the 日付 before I kissed her, though! I think most girls are afraid you're comin' on too fast if あなた キッス them right away. But, if I could tell that chick I was with was just waitin' to be kissed, I wouldn't mess around wastin' time! I'd take her in my arms, bend her face back to rest on the back of her seat, and slowly lean toward her, gazin' into her eyes and talking in a slow, smooth voice. Then, I'd press my lips against hers, gently at first, then harder and harder until we're both ロスト in a soul キッス of true love.
Q: How do あなた feel about honesty between a guy and a girl?
MJ: I think that bein' honest with one another is important when you're gettin' serious with a chick, and don't want to have her goin' out with other guys. あなた have to be loyal and true to one another, または your 愛 will never last! But, when you're dating lots of chicks, and the chicks あなた 日付 go with other guys, honesty isn't so important. Don't get me wrong, though! I don't think lyin' to someone is ever a good または a smart thing to do! But, as long as あなた haven't made any promises to each other, あなた have the right to keep some things for yourself! For instance, if you've been dating a chick on and off and she dates other guys, and she asks あなた where あなた were when she phoned your house and didn't get an answer, I don't think it's any of her business to know あなた were out with a different girl! I don't think I have the right to pry into her life either!
Q: What would あなた do if あなた fell in 愛 with a girl who was going steady with someone else?
MJ: Well, if I knew from the beginning that she was going with another guy, I probably wouldn't 日付 her, no matter how much I wanted to! But, if I didn't know she was going steady, and I found out after I fell in 愛 with her, I think I'd be pretty mad! Even if I thought that she didn't do it to be cruel, and was just too scared to tell him her true feelin's, I think I'd tell her in a kind, understanding way, to figure out what she was gonna do, and come back after she'd done it.
Q: Michael, what do あなた admire in others?
MJ: I admire people who are really dedicated to their 音楽 and to entertaining people! That's why I admire Sammy Davis Jr, and hope to be like him when I grow up! He's a super professional, who puts a spell over his audience like some kind of magician. Singin' and dancin' his ハート, 心 out to give his audience a thrill they'll never forget. It takes many years to get like that, and that's my goal.
Q: What is the one thing あなた dislike in a person?
MJ: I guess it's conceited, snobbish people that really bother me! Some people are very egotistical, and think they're better than everyone else! They're always talkin' about themselves, and can't listen to あなた when you're trying to tell them something about yourself. They keep looking around to see if someone's lookin' at them, instead of looking directly at you, listening to what you're sayin'! It's like talking to a stone wall. When I meet a chick like that, I just turn off right away!
Q: Here's a hard 質問 - what one thing in your personality would あなた change if あなた could?
MJ: Well, my Mom says that I'm a procrastinator, which means that I put off things I don't want to do. I know that it's better to get things out of the way as soon as あなた can, like cleaning your room, または doing your chores but sometimes I have a hard time gettin' around to them and keep putting them off!

One promise I'll make for あなた for sure is that if I win 星, つ星 Magazine's Superstar of '72 election, I'm gonna be so happy that I'll grab あなた wherever and whenever we meet, and give あなた a big キッス to thank あなた for bein' my ファン and for giving me your vote! I always like to 表示する my ファン that I dig them and appreciate all they've done for me によって holdin' their hand and lookin' right in their eyes as I talk to them (MJ is such a pimp)!

Here are my promises:
Promise Number One: Whether または not I win the タイトル Superstar of '72, I'm going to continue to work even harder at putting together an exciting 表示する (like learning to play the piano!), so that when あなた come to see us sing and dance, you'll remember our 表示する all your life!
