@marebear I really think kiss will either be removed or back out, I think they will have to. But the damage is done, just the fact that they were willing to have him there is bad enough.

@marebear, I agree it's so much worse because this is coming from Michael's own family, as for Simmons, I can't believe he would think he would get a warm reception from MJ fans.
So I think Simmons hasn`t plan a tribute for Michael. The opposite a scandal-performance for the Kiss-Fans.
Yesterday in my mind I was like if the tribute happens fine. But today, either this gets cancelled or KISS is removed from the line up. Knowing what he said about Michael and now hearing he will be a part of the tribute makes me ill. I can't believe his own family would do this to Michael. I thought other things were bad but this is disgusting and this needs to be stopped.
I wonder what the other performers are thinking right now.
Again, Michael's name is being used for selfish motives, this concert is not about Michael or about honoring his legacy, genius in any way or form, it's NEVER been about Michael. This concert is a way to cash in on Michael Jackson while they still can, that's one of the main reasons why many fans are NOT supporting this event. A supposed tribute filled up with acts like Alien Ant Farm, and KISS (does Gene Simmons ring a bell?) is NOT what a tribute is about. Of course you can play the ''they didn't know- card' now, but point still remains that they should've known better. Who else is going to take part in this? Aaron Carter? Why not just dig up Jordan Chandler, Gavin Arvizo and Tom Sneddon, to make the disrespect even more obvious?No, I think you missed the point. It is not about whether you think these artists are up to par or not, it is about how some are expressing this in a way that strips them of any dignity that I think is the problem. The artists not living up to expectations is no reason to demean them and as was said by numerous people is the fault of the organizers and not the artists themselves.
I can totally see someone like him getting on stage and blurting out some disrespectful foolishness in front of a crowd of ppl who are there to love and celebrate Michael just for the shock value of it. And what will be the headlines the day after? Not that it was loving and great yada yada...but that this A---HOLE disrespected MJ in front of thousands of fans, not to mention if they actually send this out via satellite or whatever the heck it is they plan to do...pay-per-view.

It just shows that the organizers have no clue who they're organizing a tribute for, and that the Jacksons are ready to agree to anything to make a bit of money or (re) lauch their careers. KJ obviously knows nothing about GL, the performers, or what people said about Michael. But the sad and upsetting part is, she still involves the kids with those people, without apparently checking on them. It's even worse than what I thought.
So I think Simmons hasn`t plan a tribute for Michael. The opposite a scandal-performance for the Kiss-Fans.
Sometimes I think the manipulators are using KJ and the kids to hid behind when it comes to all this...and even though she seems to be a willing participant most of the time...I "sometimes" think someone is setting her up. WHO is telling her this mess is okay? WHO is presenting these schemes to her as good ideas? They are either greedy, out of touch, setting her up as incompetent (unbeknownst to her) OR all three. Something STINKS here and has for quite a while.
If this lack of respect is going on in public, Lord only knows what's going on behind the scenes.
