As far back as I can remember, I've been in front of the camera.
19
Not just the TV cameras, but I'm talking about my family taking home movies of me when I was really, really little.
20
We lived in Gary, Indiana.
21
My father worked in a steel mill, and we lived on a street called Jackson Street.
22
Coincidentally, that was the name of the street.
23
And imagine, nine kids living in a two -bedroom house.
24
We had to wait in line to take baths, and that's a snowball fight, I think.
25
Wrestling in the snow, that's me on the far right.
26
I don't want nothing to do with it.
27
They were pretty rough.
28
Yeah, that's me.
29
I'm freezing.
30
I think that's Tito on the ground.
31
This is the living room.
32
We would move out all the furniture, and I remember, and we would dance and perform.
33
We loved it.
34
You could see the smile on my face that I loved it.
35
And my father was standing right in front of us, watching this, making sure we did everything just right.
36
That little girl that my mother is holding is Janet,
37
who is now Mrs. Rhythm Nation. And that's a party.
38
We played a lot of parties.
39
We're actually performing the music that they're dancing to.
40
That's the guitars.
41
You look at the back, you see me spinning around right there.
42
And my mother made all of our costumes.
43
We did parties we opened shopping centers we did any kind of thing you know
44
but we travel travel travel constantly every night the record company usually like for you to support your album
45
and go on tour
46
and I don't like to I do like relating to the
47
fans giving the fans a chance to see you face to face
48
because you go from Hong Kong to Africa to China to Brazil to you know Singapore Switzerland London Paris Russia
49
and the stadiums are just jammed and the energy is great it's fantastic
50
and we have I mean I don't know how they enjoy the show
51
because it's festival see they don't want chairs even
52
if they weren't chairs they would stand on them and just
53
so we have a tent on the side it's usually like 5 000 faints every night
54
and we have all the doctors and paramedics but
55
but it's a difficult thing to do you go from one
56
continent to another you're sleepy the time zones are different you can't sleep after the show
57
the adrenaline is up here well can we can we just do it again without the just the negative saying
58
that you don't like the tour just i don't like it i know but i go through hell I go through hell.
59

60
Okay, then I'll make it positive then.
61

63
I love to tour.
64
You guys want to sit up there.
65
Why don't you all start laughing?
66
I'm ready to get into it.
67
No, no. No, but seriously, there is a good part of touring.
68
It's the fans.
69
I love my fans.
70
You go to any city, anywhere in the world.
71
They know all the songs, all the dance moves, everything.
72
They even come with the tape on their fingers, the hats and the gloves and everything.
73
It's just a wonderful experience.
74
I love it.
75
The fans are the reason why I do the tours.
76
And it's very important to give the best show that we can possibly give them.
77
The first consciousness and being alert and musicianship, you guys were wondering.
78
I would say the same for wardrobe and technology.
79
They made a couple of mistakes yesterday.
80
You were great.
81
It wasn't your fault.
82
How do you say that?
83
Okay.
84
All right.
85
Thank you very much.
86
All right.
87
We'll get out of it.
88
Okay.
89
Go!
90
it's a spiritual thing also because
91
when certain songs we play like kill the world we are the world
92
or man in the mirror the whole stadium is lit up with these uh thick lighters they use
93
and they know when to do it they you hit one chord and they know exactly what it is It's very emotional.
94
I mean, it's fun.
95
And I love to entertain.
96
That's one of my favorite things.
97
I think the fans see that.
98
Actually, I know they see it, because when I walk out on stage, they give me so much love, and that's everywhere I go, every time I walk on stage.
99
One of the best moments is right here, right here.
100
It's right in the middle of the show and it's my birthday and I'm thousands of miles away from my family.
101
But when they surprised me with a full marching band and then they brought out this huge, beautiful birthday cake.
102
I realize that I've got family all over the world, everywhere I go, because my fans really show me the love, and I love them just as much.
103
Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
