Let's stay on topic.
there's no need to bash MJJC members, Jackson family members and include MJ's will in this discussion.

Well, we are not in their heads and that is their business and what they have to deal with now (and sorry I am not going by the media.m the media said the same crap about MJ so if I am going to believe what the media is saying about the jackson, then that means I must believe EVERYTHING that was said about MJ which I do not).

Who's going by what the media is saying? All I mainly see is fans basing their opinions on the family's own actions. Nothings wrong with that. It's like because it's "the family", suddenly it's a no no to call things as it is.

i judge them by what comes out of the own mouths and their actions. unless someone has their hand up their ass they aint puppets controlled by others. next excuse.
 
bumping this as people are getting confused, this is latest about Jermaines tribute, which supposedly is now being held in Gambia Africa, not London!!
 
concert+Jermain,these two words don't go good together.i always remember Jackson family honor where Jermain used that platform to show his ability to perform (as a solo artist) ,but at that time also no one was interested in him.
 
Did you guys see the episode of the reality show where he talked about how different people/organizations put up tributes for his brother and everyone out there appreciates and are looking forward to that.. but as soon as HE wants to do a tribute, people are badmouthing him. (These were NOT his exact words.. but you get the feeling of it/what im trying to say).

Im trying not to feel sorry for Jermaine but yeah I dont know... I guess he is hurt by things that are being said. But I mean he is to blame for some of the fans/peoples reaction as soon as he decides to manage and put out tributes.
 
A year after Mike died is way too long to be a tribute. It should have been within weeks like Freddie Mercury's was.

It would be wrong now.
 
freddies wasnt within weeks it was around 9 months later. heck how many years later was the diana one. what matter is its done properly id rather wait 5 years for that than a typcial mess organsied by the jacksons

West Africa: MFWA Oppose Jermaine Jackson's Visit to the Gambia

21 May 2010

The Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) is calling on Jermaine Jackson, an American singer, leader of the renowned Jackson Five and senior brother of the late revered Michael Jackson, to call off his intended trip to the Gambia to perform on the occasion of President Yahya Jammeh's birthday.

The Gambian leader has invited the American musician to perform in the country to a special audience of 4000 people on May 31, 2010, at his home village of Kanilai as part of activities to mark his birthday. Jermaine Jackson is also billed to speak about Michael Jackson and the family's acclaimed musical career.

We are calling on the renowned musician to halt his planned trip to the Gambia in protest against Jammeh's reign of terror on the people of the Gambia and his complete disregard for law and order, freedom of expression, and the fundamental human rights of the Gambian people.

The 16-year rule of President Jammeh has witnessed several extra-judicial killings, abductions, torture, unlawful arrests and detentions. Although the Gambian constitution and law prohibit arbitrary arrest and detention, there have been numerous instances of police and security forces arbitrarily arresting and detaining citizens without charge or trial. The Gambia under Jammeh has become a cemetery of rights; a sordid paradise of fear.

This impending visit and performance by Jackson will not only constitute an endorsement of Jammeh's tyrannical rule, but also an indictment on the glorious reputation and good name of the Jacksons.

President Jammeh has over the years adopted ways of exploiting the great works of Alex Haley (of ROOTS fame), to confuse unsuspecting African-Americans, and to gain good but undeserved international publicity, especially in the U.S. We are, therefore, calling on Mr. Jackson to be mindful of Jammeh's ploy to use him for publicity as part of his tactics to cover up of his gross human rights violations.

The names of Michael, Jermaine and the entire Jackson family are too precious to be dragged in the ignominy and disgrace that Jammeh represents for the people of the Gambia and Africa. It is the responsibility of all good people to protect the name of good leaders, in whatever field they may be, from the political and publicity abuse and exploitation of tyrants like President Jammeh.

The MFWA is urging both local and international media, freedom of expression and human rights organizations and advocates to join in this campaign to prevail on Jackson to call off his intended trip to the Gambia.

Jermaine is being paid handsomely to participate in the birthday celebration of a known dictator....while paying tribute to MJ. You can't make this ish up.

I wonder if he still remembers what he said here (3:00->) and his promise not only to the audience, but to all the contestants, who competed to be on stage for this never-ever happening JJ tribute. Poor Animaineax. They must have forgotten about it already.
 
I already mentioned Jammeh being an ass on a previous page...
I cant believe we will play on a celebration from this man.

Mayby he should have informed himself about who Jammeh is....
Thjere are little leaders in africa that are good people.
