Bmi Urban Awards... mike didnt appear

It doesn't make him look good, I've already read comments like "does Michael think hes too good for these events, his brothers were there for him why cant he go" yadda yadda yadda.
QUOTE]

I don't think those comments made are true... I don't think MJ thinks that he is too good for his family.
Me too. I think its unfair of people to say that, but people will do anything to put Michael down. Its predictable:fortuneteller:
 
If you guys are worried about some losers on some forum saying Michael thinks he's too good for his family, then you seriously need to reevaluate your priorities. Michael's had the worst crap in the world said about him. It hardly matters if some ignoramuses think he's stuck up. Nobody says shit about Jermaine. The double standard is sickening.

Maybe Michael thinks working on this album, which half of you are moaning for him to get done on a daily basis, is more important then adding yet another trinket to his already filled cabinet. He doesn't even care about awards.
 
That show finished filming a while back.

Good thing you said it elusive, someone needed to.

See how excuses are made for Jermaine, but Michael is just being ungraeful and selfish. Blah, blah, effeing blah.


I agree with you. Jermaine wasn't there either..but NOoooooooo MJ was the only one being selfish..Pleaseeeeeeee.. thats ridiculous.
 
no one notices that jerm wasnt there the haters are only obsessed with mj lol
 
Well you know, Mike didn't appear for his own reasons, but I don't think it should matter. Just enjoy the pictures we have, and be happy that MJ is somewhere being happy.
 
or KFC was doing a special offer for the night and he couldnt resist.

u know what maybe mj just didnt want to go. couldnt do with the hassle doesnt like being around his family much cause if he shows up there they think hes up for yet another renuion and would rather stay at home with his kids. there i said it lol oh and pam booked a restaurant for that night aswell lol
lol. He could havre made a special order for him. I didn't know Gone Country was finished filming. So where was Jermaine? I counted heads and there were only 2 members missing and they were MJ and Jermaine. It was a lovely do. Shame jermaine missed it. He should have taken his entire family to see him get honoured. I am so glad Joe and Katherine was at hand to watch their children get honoured. Thank you Janet for being there.:D

I'm not worried about what they said, I'm just sharing what I read about it, after the person said it doesn't make Michael look good, I said I've already read comments on it. :tease:

I think it is actually funny how no one commented on Jermaines presence, it makes it obvious all these people are looking out for is Michael. Whether hes there or not he still causes a stir amoungst the nay sayers... :cheers::wub:
 
here i found more news on it

JACKSON 5 - JACKSON 5 TURN BMI URBAN AWARDS INTO FAMILY AFFAIR

The JACKSON 5 returned to the stage in California on Thursday (04Sep08) night to accept a BMI icon award - but MICHAEL and JERMAINE JACKSON were nowhere in sight.
The ABC hitmakers - consisting of brothers Jermaine, Tito, Marlon, Randy, Jackie and Michael - were honoured with the lifetime achievement accolade at the BMI Urban Awards.
Tito, Marlon, Randy and Jackie were on hand to collect the prize, which was presented to them by sister Janet Jackson, but Jermaine and the Thriller star were notable absentees.
And when asked about Michael's whereabouts, Marlon chose to poke fun at his younger brother's bizarre superstar lifestyle saying: "I don't know (where he is). I think he's in Egypt riding a camel or something."
But the siblings refused to let the absentees spoil the occasion, as they enjoyed a tribute performance by the likes of R+B singers Mario, Keri Hilson, JoJo and Lloyd, who teamed up to deliver a cover of I'll Be There.
The tribute - at the Wilshire Theater Beverly Hills - was capped off with a rousing rendition of Never Can Say Goodbye from Mario, Bobby Valentino, Lloyd and Ray J.
After the show, Tito said, "It's a great honour to know your music influenced a generation. We're very proud of this moment."
And the occasion was turned into a real family affair when the Jackson 5 members - who did not perform - posed for photos on stage with parents Joseph and Katherine, and sisters Janet, LaToya and Rebbie after receiving the Icon prize.
Other winners on the night included Ne-Yo, who won Song of the Year for Irreplaceable, a track performed by Beyonce Knowles and written by the Closer hitmaker, along with Espen Lind and Amund Bjorklund.
Kanye West, T-Pain and Jonathan 'J.R.' Rotem were named Producers of the Year, while T-Pain scored the Songwriter of the Year title for writing hits including West's Good Life and Flo Rida's Low.
The BMI awards pay tribute to the music industry's top songwriters, composers and producers.
Rodney Jerkins, will.i.am, Polow Da Don, and Soulja Boy were also noted on BMI's list of 2008's Top Urban Producers.
 
this thread's far gone down the tubes but

innit?! and especially on a gig that, frankly, hardly anyone will ever know existed.

it would've been nice to see Mike & Jermz with them though.
 
Marlon chose to poke fun at his younger brother's bizarre superstar lifestyle saying: "I don't know (where he is). I think he's in Egypt riding a camel or something."

Gee whizz, did I call it or what? Anyway, anyone who says Michael is ungrateful is just ignorant, considering Michael finically supports his entire family and stayed with them long after he could have split up and gone completely solo. F******.

It would have been nice if they were there, but it doesn't mean anything that they weren't. They probably were busy with something the two of them deemed more important.

And right arXter, nobody knew about it anyway, it wasn't even televised. So who cares?
 
Wait?

You mean I go to sleep Friday morning and I wake up and fans are mad because people at other boards thought Michael was too big to be with his family yet Jermaine didn't show up either?!

Goodness gracious! :lol: I think this will be one of the last awards he gets in his lifetime. But I think if he was to have shown up, the complaints will still continue so whatever.
 
Howabout them Jabbawokees............(or however you spell that friggin name!)? Great tribute. Great dancers.
I hope Michael will be able to see footage of the performance, tho, I am sure it's not on his to-do list at the moment.
Those guys are good, and I think Michael would like performing with them.

I hope some more performances filter in on YouTube.
I, personally, would love to see Mario's performance on Heartbreak Hotel.

Aaaaaand all the Jackson's looking fly as ever! LaToya is looking fantastic along with all the others.
Yep The Jabbs won Randy Jackson's dance competition. Did ya see it?
All of the dancers did a tribute. It was really good!

And about HBH...that's exactly what I said a couple pages back. I love that song!
Mario is a good performer, I bet it was hot. :yes:
 
If Mike was there, you woulda heard ALL about it. Shoot, you know how quickly the flock flies in when Michael is involved :rofl:
 
Lol at the lot of you saying "It would have been nice if MJ was there."
No kiddin'?

It also would've been nice if Berry Gordy, Bobby Taylor, Diana Ross and Gladys Knight were there too but they weren't so whatever. :rollin:

Grease Maine already finished his reality show so what's his excuse? Maybe he's hanging out with his little brother, ya never know? Of course Mike would have to tell him to get the Armor Oil away from his sofa, lol. :lol:
 
T-Pain received the songwriter of the year award and shared the title of producer of the year

The music industry is not even credible anymore. LOL.

Anyway, I have heard on the radio this morning that Michael and Jermaine did not come. Now, with Jermaine, I am shocked by that. You would think that he would come because let's face it, what is he doing, really? LOL. It is a joke and the truth when you really think about it. But anyway, I am happy that they got honored. Kudos to the Jacksons for making great music. I do agree that MJ should be there, but I bet you he got word of what happened.
 
It seems as if the media is reporting it though. I think it was a good day.:D

Yeah it was still good. I'm just making a point that Michael is basically the main star attraction of the family, so... ya know :giggle:
 
It also would've been nice if Berry Gordy was there but he wasn't so whatever. :rollin:

Did you just call Jermaine, Grease Maine. :baby:
 
I LOVE MIKE'S SENSE OF INDEPENDENCE. what people need to learn is they can't affect one another's lives. one person cannot affect another person. otherwise, person 2 will be able to blame person 1 for person 2's failures. you can't' have it both ways. MJ has gotten on well, not being intimidated by 'other forces'. that has nothing to do with how i feel about him going to this award ceremony or an mtv awards or whatever. he doesn't HAVE to do anything. face it. and face it again.

on the subject of the awards given out....i think they were right about tpain, and wrong about everybody else. i think they are too influenced by the radio. and i think radio is overrated.

and...who says families are always hunky dory? what family is? Marlon's little joke proves that. and every fan on every board who thinks MJ considered himself too big, even though Jermaine didn't appear either are just backhandedly admitting that MJ is the world's biggest star. they wouldn't like it if i told them that, though, lol

i would have loved to see MJ there, but i can't affect his life cus he didn't. i still look forward to seeing him whenever he does appear wherever.

I don't understand why Jermaine wasn't there either. I thought he was doing Gone Country, but I understand that it's finished. At least it doesn't make MJ look too bad that he wasn't the only one not there. Glad Janet could make it.
 
Did you just call Jermaine, Grease Maine. :baby:
O/TJermaine has got a skin desease called Acne. MJ talked about it in one of his interviews. MJ suffered from it too, but he grew his out, Jermaine did not.
When Jermaine was being interviewed here in Britain, one of the cameras did a close up on Jermaines face, it was plain to see his face was covered in the rash, it was very sad. he doesn't talk about it, but that would be the reason why he uses ointment, to control the acne.
I have seen the effects of acne on young white men, It is a devastaing desease. Jermaine's doesn't show up because of his dark skin but it is still debilitating. I feel very sad when I hear Jermaine being teased. He wears the grease for a reason.
 
It also would've been nice if Berry Gordy, Bobby Taylor, Diana Ross and Gladys Knight were there too but they weren't so whatever. :rollin:
