This Is the Stunning Audio of an Unintelligible Michael Jackson Going Viral

The involuntary manslaughter trial against Michael Jackson’s doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, began in Los Angeles on Tuesday. And one of the day’s most stunning moments came when Deputy District Attorney David Walgren played a recording of a conversation between Jackson and Murray in which the singer detailed what he wanted out of the shows. Jackson’s voice, though recognizable, was slow and slurred.

“We have to be phenomenal,” Jackson is heard saying in the recording, which investigators gleaned from Murray‘s phone after the singer’s death. “When people leave this show, when people leave my show, I want them to say, `I’ve never seen nothing like this in my life. Go. Go. I’ve never seen nothing like this. Go. It’s amazing. He’s the greatest entertainer in the world.’”

Murray‘s lead defense attorney Ed Chernoff also noted Jackson’s desire for success, but that the singer’s ambition ultimately prompted him to give himself a fatal dose of medication.

He said Murray had been trying to wean Jackson off propofol, but that the entertainer kept requesting it on the day he died to help him sleep.

“Michael Jackson started begging,” Chernoff said. “When Michael Jackson told Dr. Murray, `I have to sleep. They will cancel my performance,’ he meant it.”

He told jurors that Jackson swallowed enough of the sedative lorazepam to put six people to sleep before ingesting propofol. The combination, which Chernoff called a “perfect storm” of medications, killed Jackson so quickly that he didn’t even have chance to close his eyes.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    All I’m saying is, who was the true adult in the room. Certainly not Jackson. He wasn’t capable mentally of deciding anything – especially not capable of dosing himself. And Murray KNEW this. So IF Jackson dosed himself with pills and the milk, Murray is guilty of gross negligence and should have his license permanently revoked.

    I’m so tired of people defending a druggie pervert. Just because they grew up listening to his music, they’re willing to give the creep a break.

    His death was a shame and a loss.

    While we each have our own suspicions of what he may or may not have done with children, the courts HAVE RULED and found him not guilty.
    It is not my place, nor yours, to judge him beyond that.
    If children were harmed, we should get them professional help.

    Some of the jokes are pretty funny, but, they are at the expense of a dead man.

    There is a reason we were taught as children, not to speak ill of the dead.
    That is because, they are not here to defend themselves.
    Whatever they did or did not do in life, is now over.

    They are both at fault. Jackson was abusing drugs, and the doctor was obvioiusly wreckless in his treatment. I heard a doctor discussing propofol on the radio. It‘s doesn’t put you to “sleep” per se, it mereley puts you under. He was probably tired because he wasn’t getting real sleep.

    This doctor was getting pain $150,000 a month to keep him healthy and he was drugging him or allowing him to drug himself. No matter how bad it sounds the doctor was in the wrong and should have to pay. He was educated and licsensed to save lives not assist in taking them. The doctor was either choosing to do this or just too stupid to be in his position.

      Really.. put the blame where blame is due.. Michael Jackson was a drug user of epic proportions.. he just found a doctor who was dumb enough to comply to Michael’s demands. If it had not been this Dr. it would have been another.. Personally I don’t feel sorry for Michael anymore.. sure his life sucked.. but alot of our lives sucked and we aren’t drug addicts.. Michael had just to many other things I question.. but personally I think this Dr. should be released from this three ring circus.. Michael chose this drug because it made him forget.. just like a lot of other drug addicts, or drunks or whatever.. they do them to forget their pasts or issues they don”t want to deal with. This was Michael’s responsibility.. his life was his.. and he lived it the way he wanted to. And death was his choice or he would still be alive.. Drugs always win until you battle them.. Michael did NOT want to battle them. He embraced them.. again.. if he couldn’t have gotten them from Murray it would have been someone else!

      Yo Abbygirl1994:
      Death was not his choice…. have a heart.
      To put on some awesome shows was.
      He made a stupid mistake.
      and now we have all the heartless comments to follow
      and people say “we don’t need a savior”…..what a joke.
      alot of people who’s hearts still beat, but are dead!

      @ABBYGIRL

      According to that argument we shouldn’t put drug dealers in jail. It‘s the user’s fault. If we put the dealer in jail they’ll just find another one.

      I don’t buy it. You put the user in jail for using drugs, which is illegal, and you put the dealer in jail for dealing drugs, which is also illegal.

      Yes, Michael Jackson shares some of the responsibility of his own death…. but that doesn’t let the doctor off the hook.

      If there are a horde of other doctors out there willing to do this… I say one less is a good start.

    I have administer propofal to intubate and to keep intubated ppl a sleep. It will knock out your breathing and your blood pressure. This is not a drug that is used to help ppl sleep. (unless you want to put them on a ventialtor). If this is what he was giving Jackson, than he killed him. Propofal is injected and then a maintance infusion needs to be maintained. It half lifes in about 3 min and is gone in 6. It does not come ing pill form. so this would need to be something the MD would need to inject and start an IV for and then he just left him.

    Sad to have missed out on all of the great music that would have been ?
    If you ask me all his friends, staff and managers killed him, any and all could have stood up told Michael stop . Yeah one might have been fired for standing up , just imagine what a hero they would be today ? Have anyone heard of even one person trying to stop Michael ( from hurting himself ) ?
