When you think about the greatest musical entertainers of all time, there are a few top dogs that come to mind, Michael Jackson (of course), Prince, James Brown, Little Richard and Ray Charles, perhaps. Ever wonder what it’d be like to be a fly on the wall while they all sat around interacting with each other? Or wonder what goes through the minds of say, Michael Jackson & Prince when they run into each other at some Hollywood shindig? I was talking to Husband last night, and we got to wondering how those conversations would go.
After a short brainstorm, I’ve decided that a sketch show would be a brilliant idea. Each of these artist are uber talented in their own right, and to boot, they are all interesting personalities, with signature mannerisms. so that alone could be entertaining. The aim wouldn’t be to insult, or be taken seriously. But a sketch show centered on these major artist, retellings of actual life events (much like Charlie Murphy’s tellings of Prince & Rick James) or Chris Tucker’s tellings of his time with Michael. Perhaps at times guest narrators to tell the funny events (as impersonators play out the scenes), ex security, managers, friends ect. I’d like to reiterate that this isn’t intended to make fun of or humiliate these legendary artist, but to show the humorous side of their lives. Between the five of them, there’s got to be a million funny stories to be reenacted, or skits that could be done with all the legends in one room, almost like a new version of THE VIEW, as they discuss current events & music. They'd be like the musical genius Justice League..LoL...Could you imagine?
I know it might be a little too soon with Michael passing last June, but still in yet; it might help to be able to find laughter with him & with all the other greats. I think the show could be a hit, the possibilities are endless! So you get a better impression of what I’m talking about as far as stories and mannerisms, I’m going to include some videos below! Be sure to watch them, and leave comments with what you think of the idea!!

:::Sketch Example:::
Imagine CHRIS TUCKER narrating a story of some silly shenanigans he & Michael into, while a caricature of the scene is played out w/ actors.
The example below, isn't exactly the type of stories I'm thinking of sharing, but you get the idea of how the skits could go.
::Mannerisms::
If done w/ love, not hate, impressions of these famous mannerisms could be hilarious! I've only put up one of the 5 artist I've mentioned...but I think you can get the idea. They've all got such individual styles & mannerisms...LoL.
Little Richard
