MOejack
They didnt send out that message _ AT ALL - you said that :D
there is NOTHING in that article that states he is auctioning of
these items becuase they have negativity _ where did you see that ?


Those things do not have negativity attached to them _ Im sure MJ kept
many of his belongins from neverland but he is getting rid of stuff that he
no longer wants or needs or has a place for _ there is no need for us fans
to place negativity on this Auction _ Michael surely isnt nor is the Aution site _
they are being very positive about this _

It is the TABLOIDS JOB to be negative about this _
Certainly NOT MJ fans.

The Tabloids will assult him and make nasty comments
about it - We should be postive and supportive of MJ and his
decision to have this auction .. It is COOL :punk: many
will be Thrilled to get some of these Items and MJ will be
happy to oblige them ... to get rid of all the clutter that he
has no room for _ Neverland was huge and was decorated
to be a fantasy land _

Honestly, I didn't read the article, but I said that based on the title of the article :D. With regards to the auction, I don't think its negative at all, quite the opposite actually, I think its a wonderful idea. What I meant was that in doing so it removes anything that the media can attach negativity to you know, like neverland and stuff..that's all..
 
how about some MJ bizniz news...

Music industry is a changin'

Hollie Shaw, Financial Post Published: Wednesday, December 10, 2008

The time when musicians considered it a sell-out to appear in a TV ad or license their music for commercial purposes is long gone -- perhaps ending definitively when folkie legend Bob Dylan appeared strumming his guitar in a 2004 Victoria's Secret lingerie commercial.


(True to his word, Mr. Dylan had told reporters in 1965 that if he ever decided to sell out to commercial interests, he would do so first for "ladies' undergarments.")

Nowadays, musicians are clamouring to score TV and radio commercials or license existing tracks in order to introduce their work to new audiences, said Chris Tait, music director at Pirate Toronto, a commercial production house.

With compact disc sales falling another 10% in Canada last year and publishing royalties tied to the sale of CDs and air play on radio stations, licensing revenue is becoming a vital source of income for record companies and artists alike. The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) reported that record-label licensing income from advertisements, films and games leapt 20.1% in 2007 over the prior year.
"These days, artists in general are very interested in putting their music in advertising," said Mr. Tait, former lead singer and guitarist with the Canadian bands Chalk Circle and Big Faith. "The line between art and commerce is very grey, if it even exists any more. But Michelangelo was commissioned. Back then it was the church, and now it's Pepsi."

Altered forever by digital downloading, populist social media outlets such as YouTube and MySpace and the rise in on-line radio stations where royalties have not been set, the music business "has changed so much in recent years that a record company can't promise that it will really be able to sell an artist's records any more," added Mr. Tait, who is also a partner in Pirate affiliate Hook Music, a new online service to help advertisers locate and buy soundtracks for commercials.

"Artists are getting exposure in advertising. MTV and MuchMusic are lifestyle channels right now [with few music videos]. So unless you are the 1% of music out there on radio or video, you are out of luck."

A number of big artists have licensed their music for use in ad campaigns in recent years, including the Rolling Stones, Sting, and U2; even the Beatles song 'All You Need is Love' was used last year in a Procter & Gamble ad for Luvs diapers, although the remaining band members did not have a say in it -- Sony/ATV Music Publishing owns the rights to The Beatles' back catalogue.

In addition to introducing established artists like Bob Dylan to entirely new audiences, licensing can also catapult unknown or emerging artists into bestselling ones depending on the client and the scale of international exposure.

Canadian chanteuse Feist was already a topselling singer in this country when her song '1,2,3,4' was featured in an ad for Apple iPod Nano, but the ad was largely credited with her making a splash in the U.S. and abroad and the single became an iTunes hit.

And after agency Grip commissioned the band Major Maker to create an original short music clip for a Maynards candy TV ad, the score proved so popular that Major Maker ended up creating a full length single for the song, which quickly soared to the top of the iTunes Canada rock chart and went into heavy rotation on top 40 radio stations.

In another clear sign of the times, CBS is launching a new reality show in 2009 called 'Jingles' which will see contestants compete to write a catchy commercial track for a major brand.

Artists and brands are finding also find that they can extend the relationship beyond a basic radio or TV commercial. A campaign for Origins, a line of skin care products, featured singer KT Tunstall as a spokesperson for the brand, which in turn sponsored her tour and put product coupons in her CDs.
In some cases, the advertiser has seen its own commissioned music morph from markering material into a potential revenue stream.

Loblaw's Joe Fresh house brand of apparel has commissioned five original music tracks from production company Imprint Music to score its colourful ads. The songs have proven to be so popular that the retailer, which has offered the tracks for free download at various points on its Joe.ca web site, is contemplating issuing a compilation CD of the retro-inspired tracks after a few more releases. Of the first three songs tallied, consumers have close to 33,000 downloads from the joe.ca web site.

Commissioned work allows companies to tailor "the vibe, the feel, and the sound and ensure [that] it fits within your brand's standard and image," said spokeswoman Elizabeth Margles. "There is far more control and there is an automatic association with the brand when people listening to it because they have never heard it with anything else. People in research overhear the music and it has become identifiable with Joe even if they do not see the commercial. Even if you had the [rights to use] the most popular song ever, you would not have that."

I didn't see this part in any of the articles about the auction
[The items, along with 2000 more of Jackson's personal possessions, will go on display by Julien's Auctions before the five-day auction begins on April 21, 2009, reports the Associated Press. Bids will be accepted in person and online. The sale is to be broadcast live on Auction Network.

Jackson plans to donate a portion of the sales to MusiCares, a charitable organization founded by the Recording Academy to help musicians in need.

Wait..what's so good about the 2009 Grammy nominations? I don't see Mike there anywhere...
 
it's very nice of Michael to have this auction.he is cleaning Neverland and gives a lot of money for charity too:)FRESH START!
 
Who gives a rats backside what the tabloids are saying, Michael should sell every blade of grass at Neverland for as much as he can get, why not? It is sickening the way they salivate over it and see it as something negative, whilst ignoring how much money Michael has made/donated to charity, as well as all the terminally ill children who had a day of happiness that he paid for.

I think it is a good thing that he is shedding the past and making some dosh in the process, with his earning power he could have been touring and putting out CD's if he was that broke, the fact that he hasn't used his talent to earn millions should tell them he doesn't need to untill he is ready and willing to.

Happy birthday to Jermaine and condolences to McCauley and his family. I'm sure Michael will be there for him at this very sad time.
