MJ吉他手珍妮花巴顿剖析天王鲜为人知的一面，2010年3月5日美国东岸时间
Michael Jackson's lead guitarist Jennifer Batten gives an exclusiveand rare insight into the world's biggest pop act who exactly one year agoannounced his return to music.2010年3月5日，迈克尔杰克逊：他的首席吉他手珍妮花巴顿深入剖析，这位一年前宣布回归的巨星独特的一面。
March 05, 2010, (Sawf News) - One yearago today Michael Jackson announced his 'This Is It' concert run in a pressconference at London's O2 arena. To mark the anniversary, Charles Thomson satdown with Jackson's long-serving guitarist Jennifer Batten, who told us what itwas really like behind the scenes on a Michael Jackson tour.
查尔斯唐逊在MJ宣布他的This is it 伦敦演唱会一年之后，坐下来跟珍妮花巴顿聊，在MJ巡演背后的故事。
Jennifer Batten... It might not ring anybells at first, but you'd probably recognize her if you saw her. She's notreally a household name but she's an icon nonetheless. 珍妮花巴顿，咋听之下你听到这个名字毫无印象，但是，要是你看到她的脸，你会立马知道她是谁。虽然她不是家喻户晓，但是她绝对是标志性的人物。
Throughout the eighties andnineties she played in sold out stadiums all around the world. Her image wasbeamed into sitting rooms to audiences totaling several billion. Young girlseverywhere wanted to be Jennifer Batten. 贯穿整个80,90年代，她在座无虚席的超级体育馆满世界跑。她的画面在几十亿观众面前播放。年轻的女孩都想成为珍妮花巴顿。

"We played down in American Samoa of all places,"she laughs. "He had a brother that was a missionary on the island, so heset up the gig. Then we did another stint in Colorado because he had a brotherthere too. That was it." “我们在美属莫亚群岛表演了个遍”，她笑着说。“他有个哥哥是岛上的传教士，所以他安排了这个演出，然后我们在科罗拉多岛做了一段时间，因为他也有个兄弟在那。”
Inspired by blues legends like BB King and Brownie McGee, Battenbegan playing guitar at the tender age of eight. As a young woman she attendedthe Musicians Institute in Los Angeles.受到蓝调传奇BB king 和布朗尼麦基，巴顿8岁开始玩吉他。在洛杉矶这个年轻的女孩进入了音乐学院。
"I was the only woman with 60guys," she says. "I didn't have a problem with it. I could gopractice in the bathroom because you get the natural reverb in there and I knewI wouldn't be bothered." “我一个女人和60个大男人，”她说，“但我很OK，因为我会在厕所练习，那里有混响设备，我不会被打扰。”

珍妮花初次见王，“他真的很好看”
Bad Tour Rehearsal Rehearsals began almostimmediately and they were punishing; seven days a week for two solid months. For the first month the band, singers and dancers rehearsed separately.For the second they converged in a production studio, where every element ofthe show came together. It was here that Batten first met Michael Jackson. BAD巡演彩排立刻开始，他们非常严苛。每周7天，连续两月。在头一个月，歌手和舞蹈演员分开彩排，第二个月，他们一起在工作室集合。彩排出来最终舞台效果。在这里，珍妮花第一次看到MJ.
"We heard that if he liked themusic he'd start dancing and he did as soon as he walked through the door. Westopped and people who hadn't met him before were introduced to him. I rememberseeing his manager Frank Dileo come in with the ponytail and the cigar. It waskind of surreal seeing the two of them together. I just remember Michael lookedgorgeous close up. He was just beautiful.“我们知道他喜欢音乐，他一进门我们就知道了。我们就停下来，开始介绍认识。我记得看到他的经理人Frank Dileo绑着马尾，叼着雪茄进来。我觉得好像做梦一样，看到这么吊的人在一起。MJ靠近的时候看上去很帅，很好看。”

“开始有小报找上门，让我爆料MJ ”
“MJ上哪都轰动，不能自由外出，像是被困在酒店如同监狱一样。”
“我们在东京迪士尼坐了过山车 ”
But soon after hitting the road, Battendiscovered a more sinister side to working with Michael Jackson. "I wasapproached in the beginning by somebody who said I could make a lot of money bytalking to the National Enquirer," she reveals. "I was just appalled.I thought 'that is just sick', you know? I just got this great gig. Why would Isabotage it like that? It seemed like a really evil thing to do." 但是当她开始了这段让人兴奋的旅程之后，珍妮花发现，和王工作暗黑的一面。“有个叫“郭嘉询问者””的小报找上我，说要是你跟我们做个访问，你挣得比现在多。我大吃一惊，这是有病吗？我刚刚开始参与这个超棒的表演，为何我要捅刀子，这种邀请真的是用心险恶 ”。
度娘真的为什么老是吞回复，bug太严重了。

Michael Jackson's Isolation Batten grew to feel sorryforJackson, who she says was trapped by his celebrity. 珍妮花对MJ的离群独处，觉得很难过。认为他被名利所累，没有自由。
"If he wanted to go anywhere he had toalert the security andhe had to really have it planned in advance. If he wantedto go to a store theywould have to be called and shut it down for him. He was aprisoner of thehotel room, really."
“如果他想到处走走，他必须要要保镖提早给他安排一切。他要去买东西，就要让保镖关掉整个商店。他真的呆在酒店，像坐牢一样。”

Jackson compensated for this, she says, by treating himself and his entourage to special excursions. Sometimes he had theme parks closed to thepublic so that he and his team could enjoy themwithout being hounded. “MJ安排了个主题公园短途旅行，他让主题公园关闭，这样他就能和团队自由地放松一下。当做是奖励辛苦工作的成果，只能这样补偿他失去的自由。”
"He did it first at the Tokyo Disneyland. That was just unbelievable. We would go on the rollercoaster rides and when we were done theywould just askus, 'Do you want to go around again?' We were very, veryspoiled."“他第一次在东京迪士尼这样做（闭园）。真是让人难以置信。我们会去坐了过山车，坐完以后，就问，你们还要再坐一次吗？我们真是被宠坏了。”

Post Bad Tour The Bad Tour wound up in January 1989 and the group disbanded. In later years Sheryl Crow, a backing singer on the tour, would make several disparaging remarks about Jackson during interviews publicizing her own material. She said he was a diva, never bothering to learn people's names. Bad巡演于1989年1月份结束，乐队解散。随后的几年的采访里面，BAD巡演上一个叫Sheryl Crow 谢丽尔克劳的女伴唱，说了一些毁谤MJ的话，她说MJ好像个女歌剧名伶，高傲得根本不记得共事的人员的名字。
Batten refutes this. "I think singers in general are just nuts and ultra-sensitive. One night Michael called Sheryl 'Jennifer'," she giggles, "and I know that pissed her off. But it's like, so what? I mean, you got the biggest gig in the world and it's not like Michael was unaware of who was onstage with him. We were with him for a friggin' year and a half." 珍妮花对此作出反驳：“我觉得通常歌手都会比较神经质，过于敏感。有一次MJ叫“Sheryl Crow谢丽尔克劳”做珍妮花，她就笑了，我知道谢丽尔克劳肯定气疯了。我想说，MJ并不像不知道谁和他一起在舞台上演出啊，我们都一起他娘的演出了一年半了。” 下图是这位女伴唱。

珍妮花1992年推出个人专辑，MJ马不停蹄录制 “危险”专辑
When the Bad Tour ended, Jackson retreated to the studio to begin work on the Dangerous album. Batten used this time to capitalize on the exposure that Jackson had given her, beginning work on her debut album. 当BAD巡演结束以后，MJ马上回到录音室开始“危险”专辑的录制工作。珍妮花巴顿利用这次在MJ演唱会声名鹊起的机会，开始做自己的处女专辑。
Produced by Stevie Wonder alumnus Michael Sembello, 'Above, Below and Beyond' was released in 1992. 这张专辑由著名歌手史提夫旺达（和MJ亦师亦友）的校友Michael Sembello制作，于1992年发行。专辑叫'Above, Below and Beyond'，（姑且翻译成“超越自我”。）

2.BAD巡回彩排
3..BAD巡回 1987-1989

10.第一次恋童指控后，在台上和孩子亮相
11.MJ的离去
12.This Is It MJ生前最后一步电影纪录片
13.离开MJ之后

度娘又吃了我的回复，这技术真的太落后了。一家独大还有进步的空间吗？
我都不想发了。昨天一个帖子发了4次。为了MJ我忍了。

93 Super Bowl performance 93超级碗轶事
"你们看到的舞台是，在广告时间中间，被临时拉出来的舞台。"
“全球有15亿人看了这次93超级碗的表演，这次直播，MJ超紧张”
“93年超级碗名场面，天神下降的场景，但我们在舞台一角被白烟雾喷到有点怀疑人生”
In January 1993 Batten accompanied Jackson for his legendary Super Bowl performance, which was watched by 1.5 billion people. 1993年珍妮花巴顿和MJ一起参与了著名的超级碗表演。全球15亿观众收看了该场表演。

93 Child Molestation Allegations 93年第一次恋童指控
珍妮花：
“我觉得这完全就是敲诈勒索”,
"这种事情对他来说是羞辱"
“像他这种超级天才，性格异常敏感”
“你完全可以歌词里感受到他的愤怒。”
After the Super Bowl there was a long break before the second leg of the Dangerous Tour. Batten got antsy and left to pursue personal projects. It was during the second leg that allegations of child abuse were leveled at Jackson. 93超级碗过后，离“危险之旅”巡回第二阶段还有一段相当长的时间，珍妮花巴顿点焦虑不安，离开了一段时间投入自己的个人工作。93年第一次恋童指控正正瞄准了正在举行在第二阶段的“危险之旅”的MJ。
"I figured it was an extortion case, which I still figure it is," she says matter-of-factly. "Everybody was concerned about him. I think it pains all of us that he was so attacked and so unfairly. Most artists are sensitive and he was talented times ten, so ultra sensitive, and to be slung that kind of stuff... I mean, you can hear it in his lyrics. It's a real drag because you wonder what kind of music he would have come up with if people weren't attacking him like that." 珍妮花说道：“我觉得这就是敲诈勒索案件，我现在还是这么想的。”她说的实事求是。“每个人都很担心MJ，发生在他身上那些完全不公平的事，让我们都很心痛。很多艺人都很敏感的，尤其是像他这种超级天才，他超级敏感。现在他被这样的事情羞辱，我的意思是，这是很糟糕的，因为你能在他的歌词里面感受到（他的情绪）。我在想，要是大家没有这样攻击他，他会在歌曲里创作出什么样的歌词呢？”

1993年恋童指控02
珍妮花：
“媒体负有不可推卸的责任””
“当年没有媒体敢支持MJ，”
The media, says Batten, has a lot to answer for over its coverage of the 1993 allegations. “1993这次指控媒体，媒体的报道负有不可推卸的责任。”
"Honestly, I think it would have been considered uncool amongst the press to take Michael's side. I think it would take a brave soul to do that, which is really sad. Really pathetic. Even at the 2005 trial... I know people who were inside the courtroom and then they would watch the news at night and it was complete lies." “老实说，要是当时有媒体站队MJ这边，这样会被大众认为不是好事。（要是媒体站队MJ）需要很大的勇气，这真是非常悲哀的事。甚至在2005年的审讯，很多人在法庭里，接着在晚上看着新闻，这些全部都是谎言。”
