Sidney Hamilton was asked about her dream concert.
Here is her story!
What musical artist would you have loved to see in concert?
I would've loved to see Michael Jackson in concert because I see him as the one and only greatest of all time. He's a very talented musician and his discography is just iconic; everybody knows at least one MJ song.
What year/era would you like to have seen Michael Jackson?
If I had to pick one concert of his to go to, it would definitely be his 1988 performance at Wembley. It was part of his Bad Tour and he sold out the stadium several times. I would, however, go to his performance on July 16, 1988.
What do you imagine it would be like?
I feel like it would be very euphoric and definitely
very loud. In all the clips, everyone is screaming so loudly It also looks so crowded. I guess London loved Michael Jackson.
What songs would you hope Michael Jackson would sing?
His entire set would be amazing because he has no "bad" songs (pun intended). I would want him to sing "Dirty Diana", "Human Nature", "Get On The Floor", "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", and "The Way You Make Me Feel". There are so many more, though.
How do you think you would react?
Apparently, so many people were filled with excitement and adrenaline that they would pass out. After screaming my lungs out and losing my voice, I would unfortunately be one of those people who pass out.
How would you prepare for the concert? Who would go with you?
I would spend the entire week before listening to nothing but Michael Jackson and his entire catalogue. I'd wear the same outfit as Ola Ray did in the Thriller music video, or at least something close to it. I would pray every night that Michael would notice me and pull me up on stage. I would bring one of my friends with me.
