I’m just happy that I am related to this talented guy. The first time I saw him dance was in the barbershop. I get my hair cut by Big J at International Hairport. The same shop where Calvin and Macio cut. Macio was cutting this little boy’s hair. I looked to the left and I saw my older cousin, Ralesha. I asked her, “That’s ya lil’ man?”
“Yea… Kingsten. That’s your cousin. Say hey.”
He put his hand up to block his mouth and said, “Psst… Psst… Mama… I don’t know him!”
“Yes, you do! That’s your cousin. Well… That’s your cousin.”
“Ok, mama!”
After that Calvin told me to play Michael Jackson from my phone WHILE I was getting my haircut. Ummm… No sir! I’m not doing too much moving around. Can I wait till I’m finished? And I’m VERY confused. Because what was soooo urgent that I had to play Michael Jackson NOW being that I’m in the chair and my little cousin is in the chair. Then *lightbulb*! Calvin wanted to pay Macio back for giving him Hell all the time when he has to cut little kids hair. But why Michael? Still confused?
This little guy, who was three at the time, knows how to look up Youtube videos himself. He goes on Youtube and searches for Michael Jackson and studies him for HOURS! He knows EVERY song and EVERY dance move. Once he got out of the chair, I played, “Bad” from my phone. My barber and myself were blown away because he was doing the EXACT same moves from the video. Walking through the subway and simulating jumping over guard rails and all. It was an amazing site to see!
So, knowing me, I thought of a GREAT idea! I wonder if he will put on a show like this in front of THOUSANDS of people? I called his mom a couple of days later to inquire about taking the little star on the road. She said she would ask him. Later that night around 10pm I got a call, but it was HIM. Kingsten! With his mom in the background,
“Now… what did you have to tell Jay?”
He response was, “Don’t make me beat you up because you ugly!”
“SON!”
“I mean… And I want to do Michael Jackson on the stage! But not a lotta lotta people. Just a little lotta people! No more than a THOUSAND! Ok?”
I replied, “Yes sir Mr. Thompson!”
And he REALLY is already a star! On the way, he told me that he wasn’t going to do it because I bought him a red jacket. “Maaaaa… Michael don’t have on a red jacket in the Bad video! And… he don’t have on church shoes.” lol… I had to bribe the lil’ dude with Hot Cheetos! But here it is… His debut in front of 8-THOUSAND people! Other shows we go to won’t be NEARLY as many people!
