Here's a video from the event if anyone's interested. Kenny and co talk about some amazing MJ memories
I don't understand what some fans have against Kenny or Travis. What's to hate them for? It doesn't really matter whether the two are "cashing in" or not. I don't even like using the term "cashing in". They deserve to be paid for the work they did on the film. Kenny and Travis are two people who are out there fighting the good fight and trying to keep Michael's legacy alive. They are helping us. How are we expected to succeed in fighting for MJ's name, legacy and reputation if we spend all our time attacking our own soldiers? Many of us fans don't have a platform to go out and talk to people about how wonderful of a person Michael was and what a great entertainer he was. Kenny and Travis have the advantage. People listen to them. Not once have they ever said a nasty thing about Michael. EVER. So what's the issue?
Fans are criticising them for releasing the footage, when fans were the ones who were putting the pressure on them to release it to begin with. I know all hell would have broken lose if AEG kept the rehearsal footage from us. You all know we'd be all here saying "What are they trying to hide?". Conspiracy theories would have been flying all over the place. There were so many things that were going around about what MJ was like at rehearsals. At least now we have the footage, and we can come to our own conclusions based on what we see with our own eyes. There were a lot of questions that needed answering, and TII answered many of those questions. If it weren't for the film, people would have still been going on about Michael being a wash-up has been, who could no longer sing and dance, and who was on the brink of destruction, spending 24/7 in bed popping pills. In addition to this, the movie stopped a lot of the leeches in their tracks. Rabbi Shmuley anyone? Remember this guy freaking out because the film showed Michael smiling and happy and trying to get his life back on track, after he published a book saying MJ was running his life off a cliff and totally lost all hope? The film exposed a lot of people as liars. It also forced people to take notice of Michael's genius and music and it made a lot of money for the estate and for Michael's children. It did a lot of good for us. Sometimes I wonder what side we are on.
