On Saturday, King of Pop’s die-hard fans converged at the
Carnivore for the Michael Jackson Tribute Concert organized by Rani
Productions.
The headliner of the night was Mikki Jay, an International
Tribute Solo Artist, “MJ’s” vocal and physical resemblances are seen to be like
those of Michael Jackson.
Mikki got on stage at half past midnight draped in Michael
Jackson signature military garb and performed Beat It.
Well, they say imitation is the best form of flattery and
Mikki was a complete replica of the late star. The make up was eerily familiar
to MJ’s but the body propotions were nothing like Michael’s, Mikkie was curvy.
Anyhow, the show saw other popular hits belted out by
Michael’s look-a-like like Bad, Earth Song, Black or White, Smooth Criminal,
Heal The World and Billy Jean.
The highlight of the night was supposed to be the Thriller
performance but, the iconic dance steps were not choreographed to perfection.
Mikkie also performed Michael’s hits from his Jackson 5 days
like I Want You Back, ABC and I’ll Be There.
The one-hour or so show ended with the disco tune Blame It
on The Boogie.
Beside Mikie, Kenyan acts also brought their dancing shoes
to the stage. Avril who donned a customized African military inspired outfit
performed her set that included dance steps. Wyre the Love Child was joined on
stage with the FBI dancers and they also brought the house down.
It may not have been an ideal Michael Jackson experience
but, Mikki has mastered MJ’s mannerisms, hairstyle and voice tonations to a T.
