Taitina toured with and performed with Michael.

While performing a private concert at New York's Madison Square garden Taitina says Michael looked at her then bit his lip as if to say "show me what you got". The two then kissed which made headlines. While Katherine Jackson's mother was happy about this, Michael's manager was not. Taitina was taken off the tour.
