Well none of us is surprised. We all said that the timing was horrible and that they would not get big names. I still think that they never had major artists to begin with, but it is fun to watch them make themselves look more foolish.

I know that Michael will get a tribute he deserves at the right time that we will all enjoy, so everyone hang in there.

I hope so. It would be nice to see.
 
just out of curiosity I wonder how many people here on this forum are interested in this tribute concert...I would love to put a poll at the top of this thread,,,just to see the odds of how many people would go. NONE of the MJ fans that I know are the least bit interested in this mess..they say the same thing we all say...wrong time for a tribute in the middle of a murder trial.
 
I am not interested. All I am interested in is putting Murdering Murray behind bars and stripping him of his medical license

well thank you Ivy.:)...now lets see what people REALLY think...I hope they will feel comfortable expressing their view because it is a poll..and no one else knows how someone else voted Also people that Do chose to attend..that is fine to..everyone is entitled to their OWN personal opinions as to what makes them feel comfortable.
 
We can put our emergy on Spike Lee tribute now. A good tribute.
 
Bottomline, both the Jacksons and this farce of an event company continue to take Michael Jacksons fans for fools!... just tack the name Michael on anything and we will come running they seem to think. Well, I have news for them, Michael Jackson never used us when he was with us and we will not allow ANYONE to do so now that he is no longer here.

People love to call us MJ fans crazy, they are wrong, we are very pationate about a man who meant so much and gave so much to us and we will be damned if we are gonna sit by and watch greedy people use his name for their own selfish reasons.

It's not only the wrong time but this scheme smells like fraud. I don't feel well saying this, but I don't trust MJ's family. It seems to me that they only trying to make some money, well lots of money.

It would be so nice to see singers like Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Ne-Yo, Usher, Black Eye Peas, and singers from other countries get together for a concert benefiting a charity in Michael's Memory. Many singers/artists spoke well about Michael after his passing, many said Michael was their inspiration. Well, I think is time for them to start thinking about doing something for their Idol. And it should be something very special, not just a couple of songs in a tv show like BET & MTV did.

They need to do a very special tribute for Michael and not only because he deserves it, but he has earned it with his hard work, his artistry and his humanitarian disposition.

I can't believe Jackie, Tito and Marlon of all people would endorse and support this crap. Marlon has always been so low-key, and stayed away from family-created messes. Why now? Are they broke?
 
Who the hell is gonna trust that family with charity money?????..............

.........they couldn't even give Michael a single penny when he really needed it!!!!
 
I voted no.

1) I wouldnt go to that concert even of someone tried to pay me to go
2) I live too far away anyway
 
I voted no; -my because I don't like how the Jacksons are using Michael to cash in:blink: (will the money really reache the charities:unsure:? Why will people who give more money have better chances to get tickets?:unsure:) and then this seems to me the wrong time-_-. In my opinion they should be in Oktober present in LA and not in an other part of the world.-_-
 
I have known for years (as we all have) the Jacksons couldn't organise a p!ss up in a brewery, and I had a feeling they didn't have the acts organised when the first press conference didn't announce anybody, but I still find myself astounded that they would announce a concert at relatively short notice without getting the necessary agreements in place first. This family was in the music business for years. They must know how complicated these things can be, so why make fools out of themselves again?!
 
The poll result so far shows the depth of ill feeling the fans have towards this.
 
I voted 'No' , because I can't feel the love (sorry Jacksons), the love with capital 'L'. The only thing I feel is their greed, chaos and disappointment. They can't and shouldn't decide who can attend and who can't! They can't impose conditions! To use the name of Michael and cause so much anger in people who throughout all their life are cared Michael deep in their hearts must ring a bell. Hey, Jacksons, wake up! The world is watching! Shame on you!
 
Delay in Michael Jackson tribute gig announcement



MICHAEL Jackson fans were left disappointed last night when a press conference to reveal the line-up of artists to perform at the Cardiff tribute show was called off.
Organiser Global Live Events had planned to announce the headline acts – said to include some of the “world’s greatest artists” – at 6pm yesterday in London.


Michael Forever – The Tribute Concert was announced by some members of the Jackson family last week, but its complicated ticketing system, which involves making a donation to charity, has been criticised by fans.


Two of Jackson’s brothers, Jermaine and Randy, have also distanced themselves from the October 8 supergig at the Millennium Stadium.
They believe the timing is “inappropriate” as it will be happening at the same time as Conrad Murray’s trial – the doctor charged with the superstar’s manslaughter.
Global Live Events last night promised an announcement confirming the line-up would be made today.
Its president, Chris Hunt, insisted “preparations are in full swing”.
He said: “We are hugely excited to say we will be announcing a fantastic line-up, featuring some of the world’s biggest music acts.
“There will also be more headline acts announced in the days to come.”
Jackson fan Daniel Robertson, of Gabalfa, Cardiff, said he would still register for tickets but was concerned by the delay.
He said: “For me, the concert is not about who is going to be there; it is about paying tribute to Michael.
“But I am a bit concerned by the fact they have not announced anyone yet.
“Does this mean they are not getting the names?
“I would like to think they would have released a couple of big names just to keep things going.
“With all these kind of events you usually get the main headline acts announced before you register for tickets.”


A Fans Against Michael Forever Tribute Facebook page has also been set up.
 
^Ben this is OT, but the pic in your avvie is heartbreaking. I just want to hug that kid :(
 
I could get to Cardiff (I got there to see Michael) but I voted no because the only place I plan to be during the trial is at
home online and watching the coverage on tv. IMO they couldn't have chosen a worst time to have this concert.

I want an official tribute for Michael, one that is well planned and worthy of 'him', I would like to see this on his birthday, a date that we can truely celebrate and give thanks that we lived during his era.

I know. Me too. Since I cant, I sent money for people to buy him food and keep him alive. Hopefully. :(

I'm not sponsoring this kid specifically, sorry if I did express myself right.


Back on topic, and to make things clear, the FB page has been created by fans who were banned from the MFT page for expressing opinions and questions about the concert, or sharing links to charities. It's a place to share feelings and information.

They are not worthy to plan a tribute for Michael.

I refuse to like their page to leave comments...but it angers me to hear they censor fans..the very people they want money from.

How can you pay tribute to a man who sang for the voiceless against injustice, and turn around and censor people.

That makes no sense.


To all the fans in Europe: Discussing this on forums isn't enough. you have to educate those around you that may be tempted to attend & don't follow all the wrangling & questionable behaviour. Let others know, so they too can make a well-informed decision.
 
Who voted "Yes" and then didn't have the guts to discuss their opinion in here?
 
Voted. No.

If that was me who voted "yes" and then read your comment I probably would be put off from doing so. It would feel like I'm being called out. There's a big history of people getting shot down for going against the main view of the membership.
