I'm surprised by this part of the comment, he makes it sound like they are being forced to be at the trial. Sometimes the things they say says so much about them.

You're totally right with what you said, their comments say a lot about them.

Re: Michael Forever Tribute/ MJJC Official Statement / Discussion / Estate statement / Fan letter @p

yes they do.. Like going to the trial of the man that killed her son shouldn't be painful... It's painful but you have to do what you have to do. I don't know of any parent who would not be at the trial of their murdered child every single day.

“It was so hard on her last week and I’m so happy that she’s able to smile. She’ll be smiling on Saturday remembering all the good and beautiful things that Michael represented instead of being stuck inside a court hearing testimony.”

I'm surprised by this part of the comment, he makes it sound like they are being forced to be at the trial. Sometimes the things they say says so much about them.

If it is such a burden for them to go to court, why won't they let Anthony Jackson in? he wants to be there. He went to court last week and was turned away.

If they don't want to be there, they should stay away. Spending MJ's money is easier than supporting him & seek justice for his death.

On Thursday more bad news for Global Live Events was announced. BNN (a Dutch television broadcast company) announced that the scheduled live TV broadcast in 30 countries is cancelled. According to BNN the broadcasting is cancelled due to “problems with copyrights”.

At this moment it is unknown if the Facebook broadcast is still scheduled.

This licensing issue with Odeon cinemas and copyright issues with TV might be showing that Estate is making copyright claims.

edit: I also saw that the facebook stream might have been cancelled based on the comments on their fb page - although I'm not sure and can't be bothered to double check it.

Michael Jackson Tribute Concert Broadcast Cancelled on Facebook
By Mark Hachman
October 7, 2011 12:06am EST

The Facebook broadcast of the Michael Jackson tribute concert has been cancelled due to rights issues, technology partner Milyoni will announce Friday morning.
Milyoni originally teamed with Ridgeline Entertainment to broadcast the show online via Facebook. After a PCMag reader noticed that the link to the show now generates a "page not found" error, however, he contacted PCMag. When asked, the Milyoni representative said that music labels had brought "legal challenges" to prevent the show from being streamed.
The live broadcast from Cardiff, Wales, scheduled for a 10 AM PT start on Oct. 8, was scheduled to cost $3.99 via PayPal or $4.99 the day of the show. Users could also purchase access to the show using Facebook Credits, either 40 Credits in advance or 50 the day of the concert.
That money will now be refunded, Milyoni president John Corpus said in a statement.
"Due to legal challenges brought by the music labels that own the rights to Michael Jackson's lyrics, concert promoter Global Live Events has notified us that the live Facebook broadcast of the Michael Forever tribute concert has been cancelled," Corpus said. "As the technology provider behind the live Facebook broadcast, Milyoni will fully refund all customers who pre-purchased access to the concert using Facebook Credits or PayPal.
"While social media presents a new opportunity for artists and concert promoters to reach global audiences, it is still a new and disruptive frontier ripe with challenges," Corpus added. "Milyoni will continue to work closely with our music and entertainment partners to pursue this new channel of distribution, beneficial to both artists and fans worldwide."
Mother Katherine Jackson announced the "Michael Forever The Tribute Concert" with Marlon, Tito, Jackie and La Toya Jackson earlier this year.
The reported lineup includes Christina Aguilera, The Black Eyed Peas, Jennifer Hudson and Smokey Robinson, plus Cee Lo Green, Leona Lewis, Craig David, and 3T, otherwise known as Tito Jackson's three sons.

Was this the concert that Gene Simmons (yuck) Simmons was suppossed to perform in? The timing just isn't right. Think we all need to wait till there's justice...THEN celebrate.

Latoya performing Michael's songs = YUCK uke:

She asked on twitter which Michael song she should perform. I replied her, 'None.' Everyone should tweet her and tell her so.

I dislike it when people try and sing Michael's song. They should hang it up! :bugeyed

Re: Michael Forever Tribute/ MJJC Official Statement / Discussion / Estate statement / Fan letter @p

It just goes to show how badly orgnanised this event is, even now.
They couldn't get many major artists because of scheduling problems and now they can't show the Live Facebook, cinema, or TV streams due to licensing and copywrite issues. I'm sure this could all have gone so smoothly if only they had prepared further in advance. If they had started planning this event for sometime next year they would have months of extra preparation time to get the right artists, and to work with all parties to get the necessary rights to the show.

Such a disappointment. This was the one chance to put on a mega show as a tribute and the Jacksons/GLE blew it. Trust the Jacksons to choose yet another fly-by-night, unknown, shady business partner. Why can't they ever use professional, experienced people? The Estate won't risk putting on another show in the UK. Perhaps they will in the US or Europe, but not here. It's been done.

Well I don't mind it if it's done by really good singers and professionals. But La Toya??? I mean does she even know how bad her voice is? Check her peroformance of WBSS in the 90's! Or better, don't check it and just trust me.

Chris Brown banned from UK ahead of Michael Jackson tribute concert


Friday 7 Oct 2011

CHRIS Brown may be back in the limelight now but entering the UK is another matter.

The Look At Me Now singer has been barred from the UK ahead of his performance at the Michael Jackson tribute gig in Cardiff, Wales tomorrow night.

Chris Brown, who was convicted for assaulting his former girlfriend and R&B superstar Rihanna back in 2009, has been refused a work visa because of his criminal record.

There were suggestions that the star could appear via hologram like Beyonce at the Michael Forever concert, but organisers have said no as they are worried it will put a "negative slant" on the day.

Adding that Michael's family want to make sure the event is a fitting tribute to the king of pop.

Re: Michael Forever Tribute/ MJJC Official Statement / Discussion / Estate statement / Fan letter @p

This is not a true tribute to Michael Jackson and I hope the general public doesn't think it is!

The sad thing is that when a true tribute is organised by the Estate the real galaxy of superstars might not be willing to participate because of this fiasco or because they might think there's already been a tribute. And a true tribute of artists can not take place without the biggest of the big names in the music industry!!!

"Adding that Michael's family want to make sure the event is a fitting tribute to the king of pop."
You've got to be kidding me!

Re: Michael Forever Tribute/ MJJC Official Statement / Discussion / Estate statement / Fan letter @p

Chris Brown was one of the first to turn the tribute down. There was never any plan for him to perform...ok magazine is pure trash...

I don't even understand why people still believe this mess. Aaron Carter fiasco anyone?

 

[Anniesnotokmj]

Re: Michael Forever Tribute/ MJJC Official Statement / Discussion / Estate statement / Fan letter @p

Good. I'm glad they finally stepped in and slapped the Jackson's with FACTS!

A.) You do NOT have unilateral rights to EVERYTHING MJ just because you're related. He set up an Estate for this very reason.

B.) I hope they weren't dumb enough to really believe Sony, etc. was going to let this ride, after ALL these antics they've pulled! Conspiracies anyone?

C.) THEY are NOT representatives of Michael Jackson's Estate, and by LAW and MJ's wishes, cannot just enter into deals using MJ's name/likeness or intellectual property, as they are NOT, I repeat, EXECUTIVES or Representatives! Something they need to get through their dense heads! Katherine or the "Jackson's approval" means jack shit in a court of LAW.

D.) Now, maybe they'll take the Estate serious, now that they know they will NOT bend to their foolishness.

and...

E.) May these issues put a FOREVER stop to them and their so-called "Tribute" a.k.a. Money grab. Joe Jackson and Wiesner are next, in case they don't know. The Estate has NOT given up their copyright claim/suit about that logo.

F.) Jackson's get legitimate JOBS, that do NOT include exploiting your deceased brother like a clown. Latoya and her foolishness with Bubbles was a complete embarrassment to ME.

Cheerio...Cheerio!

P.S. Has anyone seen the Joe Jackson swine, or jelly beans? Must not be selling, as he has been MIA for a min.

Re: Michael Forever Tribute/ MJJC Official Statement / Discussion / Estate statement / Fan letter @p

People need to learn that they should work WITH the estate and not against them. Michael created that estate and every time his family are doing things without talking to his estate and whatever it's like they ae going against Michael. That's how I feel. Just because they are family doesn't mean they can do whatever they want and they can't authorize anything. The people who work with the Jacksons need to understand that too.

Man, I bet Global Live's INVESTORS are pissed right about now.

When they handed over their moolah, they were most likely under the impression that Chris Hunt and Company had everything in place. Now look, no broadcast, which means NO BROADCAST DOLLARS.

I won't be surprised if we see lawsuits after this fiasco is FINALLY over. I mean, with just ticket sales, how are they going to cover the cost for the performers and everything else that goes along with this type of production.

And when I say lawsuits, I ain't talking about the Estate of Michael Jackson, I'm talking about folks involved with this so-called Tribute not being paid for services rendered. Another day, another headache for Chris Hunt!

Anyone in the U.K. watching the Alan Titchgmarsh show right now?

Tito, Marlon and Jackie along with Craig David are on.

They are talking about the tribute concert.

Craig David says he will be singing Human Nature.

Re: Michael Forever Tribute/ MJJC Official Statement / Discussion / Estate statement / Fan letter @p

I wonder if they ALL know that their "big" performances will NOT be broadcast worldwide.

I remember reading an article wherein JLS was talking about being happy that they would be performing on a "worldwide stage."

They're performers so I "guess" that they are still happy, but I would be pissed that Global Live misrepresentated themselves to me from the VERY, VERY beginning.

The host Alan Titchmarsh incorrectly said in his introduction the show would be broadcast live around the world.

So no I don't think they are aware.

I'm not surprised. In one of the articles that I read, the brothers said that they didn't even know that the Black Eye Peas had dropped out.

One hand is definitely not talking to the other hand.

If this joint was handled correctly, with an experienced team in place, it would have been broadcast on VH1, MTV, BET, FUSE, and a bunch of network television stations, just like Princess Diana's Tribute was. That's the only Tribute concert I ever saw, and I enjoyed it, from beginning to end. That's the type of show Michael deserves, if not better, in my opinion.

Re: Michael Forever Tribute/ MJJC Official Statement / Discussion / Estate statement / Fan letter @p

Agree with everybody's comments.

The bbc are reporting that 40,000 tickets have been sold.
Thanks for the heads-up re titchmarsh show, i'll try and catch it on itv plus 1.

Re: Michael Forever Tribute/ MJJC Official Statement / Discussion / Estate statement / Fan letter @p

I just read on a friends Facebook status that the event is now sold out, due to Cardiff council giving workers there free tickets.
Don't quote me on that, but in all honesty it wouldn't surprise me if they had to stoop to that level.

At this point it's really hard to say what the TRUE number of tickets sold is. I mean, just yesterday, the number being talked about was 50,000. Today, it's appears to be a little less.

Who knows, but I will say one thing. In the very beginning, Chris Hunt and his cohorts were bragging about FILLING UP a stadium that seats 75,000. Funny that nobody is talking about THAT number any longer. LOL!

 

[passy001]

Re: Michael Forever Tribute/ MJJC Official Statement / Discussion / Estate statement / Fan letter @p

They had to give away a large portion of tickets. so the real question is how many of the so-called 40 000 were actually sold?
