Estate must do something about this concert. Who are Katherine's advisors? Who's idea it was? May be they would invite Bashir to emcee this event

Re: MJJCommunity Official Statement about Michael Forever Tribute / Tribute discussion
I see your point _ but they certainly are not part of the tribute sponsors either becuase they would ONLY be hurting themselves with such blatant Disrespect against MJ. So my best guess is it is a TROLL working againts the tribute .. They are trying to make the tribute sponsors look bad for support KISS by making these rude statements in support of KISS_ These statements make the Tribute and Gene Simmons LOOK Evil and I think thats what this particular TROLL is trying to do. If they are supporting It is certainly BACKFIRING on them
Re: MJJCommunity Official Statement about Michael Forever Tribute / All Tribute discussion
I support this statement. I may be quite neutral regarding the timing, but Gene Simmons at the "tribute" concert is simply outrageous.

Re: MJJCommunity Official Statement about Michael Forever Tribute / All Tribute discussion
This is a dishonor to Michael's memory. And it comes from his own family. At least, there isn't anything worst they can do to his memory, they can't go any lower.

Re: MJJCommunity Official Statement about Michael Forever Tribute / Tribute discussion
Maybe. Or maybe it's just a hater. But then why would the official Facebook page delete a comment from someone who said that this person is only there to promote the event? They could have commented on it instead ... but they are in hiding now and it'll take quite some time before they'll resurface again and face the music. I'm beginning to believe they won't and maybe will just delete the Facebook page instead, there is nothing they can do anyore for damage control, haha.
P.S. And because you said the promoters would only be hurting themselves ... from what I have seen so far they are not the brightest bulbs in the box ...

Re: MJJCommunity Official Statement about Michael Forever Tribute / All Tribute discussion
yup completely ignoring the whole situation like everything is fine. See that is something that I cannot stand about them...they were so ready and willing to sell out Michael...but when they mess up..they are NOT big enough people to come out and say..."Hey we didnt know about this." Nope they just let it go on and hope that they get away with it. WHAT kind of people are they???
yes..they most certainly are,,,never seen anything like this is my life

Re: MJJCommunity Official Statement about Michael Forever Tribute / All Tribute discussion
Wouldn't be the first time.. besides there is NO WAY they haven't find out about Simmons' comments by now, if they didn't before (which I'm not buying anyways).
Re: MJJCommunity Official Statement about Michael Forever Tribute / All Tribute discussion
I hate to say this but you never know with them. Just when we think they can't shock us even more they end up doing that. His family isn't saying anything on twitter? I wish somebody would do something.

Re: MJJCommunity Official Statement about Michael Forever Tribute / All Tribute discussion
I'm requesting all the fans to please consider this---
WE know what GS has said and WE know it is one huge reason why we do not support this tribute, but if we talk about it and cite it as the reason for our non-support, he and the ugly things he has said will get the attention they definitely do not deserve. Let's NOT fuel anything that is evenly remotely related to those horrible allegations! There are those medialoids, detractors, etc, out there who are always more than willing to slander, malign and disrespect Mike and his reputation, and now his memory anyway. Let's not give them this kind of fodder. If there is anyone besides us who needs to know why the inclusion of Kiss(my ass!) is beyond disrespectful to Michael, its Mrs. K. Jackson!
Let the world know that we are against the idea of this tribute becasue of its outrageously wrong timing! That way, we'll be bringing people's attention towards Justice for Michael and away from these heinous lies(GS staements)Let's NOT mention those evil remarks by Shitmmons or give ANY attention to Kiss or the artist lineup etc., AT ALL!
Please!

Re: MJJCommunity Official Statement about Michael Forever Tribute / All Tribute discussion
Support the statement 100%. This whole thing made me sick. Just when you though it can' be worse. The Jackson family prove they sure can make it worse. I have to say this is quite an accomplishment to pull this off. Hope someone can stop this nonsense ASAP. Poor Michael that he had to deal with these greedy and unbelievable family and still done so much for them all his life.

Re: MJJCommunity Official Statement about Michael Forever Tribute / All Tribute discussion
I understand what it is you are trying to say..and I understand your why for saying it..BUT...if WE as MJ fans dont stand up for Michael ..WHO will? No one WILL....this guy cannot be allowed to get up on that stage after what he has repeatedly said about Michael. It to late to try and cover up what he said..to hope it goes away As soon as he was announced as a guest..who he is and WHAT he said was on every major news source in the country. I am sorry but I have to say NO...its time that We as MJ fans continue to have his back..we always did...and we always will. His own blood ..his family ..well THEY FAIL..(besides his children)...so that leaves US...WE have to defend him still and look out for him still...then so be it..we will...even IF IT IS against his own flesh and blood...his own mother.

Re: MJJCommunity Official Statement about Michael Forever Tribute / All Tribute discussion
I don't understand why this is happening. What did Michael do to deserve this kind of treatment? The silence from his family says it all. Sick.

Well, excuse the F outta me, but saying that someone is a child molester AIN'T a sexual orientation, okay? It's not like he said MJ was gay or some dfndsbjfv of that matter. Are you being serious. Goodness. Gene Simmons said Michael Jackson molested those kids, and that he had no doubt about it. AFTER HIS DEATH. Well, lemme ask you if it's Gene's mind it would be ok to glorify a child molester? DON'T THINK SO. Michael Jackson IS his music. You can't hate the man but love the music. I'm afraid you don't even know what you're talking about.

Rasmus Lindström Lol! So if Michael is a pedophile his music all of a sudden is not good? The music is what it is. James Brown beat up women, was in jail for theft, convicted for assaulting an police officer and had legal issues concerning drugs and rape. Does this mean that James Brown's music is no longer good? Michael can be a mass murderer for all I care. It will not change his musical legacy.

Rasmus Lindström
Weather it's a fact or if its speculation is not the point. The point is that the music stands on its own merits and nothing will change it. If I listen to a song I should be able to give an objective judgement. Billy Jean or That's what you get for being polite will get the same judgement regardless of it's A who wrote it or B who wrote it. If A is a "Gandhi" and he runs 100 m on 9.55 and B is a terrorist and he runs on the exact same time their achievements is equally impressive. The same goes for musical achievements.

Anne-Sophie Hayvenhurst Let me just add that Gene Simmons called a radio two days after MJ passed away to say that he was sick of hearing tributes held in the name of MJ, and that he wanted to hear about molested kids. My very question is... Why the hell is he in this tribute? This is the biggest fuckery ever. Music, or not, it's still not aceptable.
And that person is probably paid to promote the concert like this....

Re: MJJCommunity Official Statement about Michael Forever Tribute / All Tribute discussion
MJJJusticeproject joins to the protest
Our Position regarding the latest development of the MJForever Tribute -
In the past, regarding the Tribute in Wales, we have wished to give benefit of the doubt to Katherine Jackson as we believed and still do believe that she loves her son and would not purposely dishonor him. We had hoped that the MJForever Tribute scheduled October 8th, would be a positive counter balance to the negative spin that was sure to come out of the media regarding Michael during the trial of Conrad Murray.
When it was reported that Michael's children would be giving a speech, we were again hopeful that only a positive presentation of Michael's legacy would be forthcoming. We had hoped that the much anticipated announcement of performers would be of a caliber befitting Michael's music and that they would be able to do him and his art justice. We remained positive until Monday, Aug 15th.
With the announcement on CNN by Paul Ring that Kiss would be added to the list of performers slated at the Tribute, we were first in a state of utter disbelief then aghast at the thought. It is hard to understand which is greater, the seeming ignorance of the concert promoter or the blatant hypocrisy of Gene Simmons. Gene Simmons has made his disdain of Michael Jackson no secret and it is most incredulous and highly hypocritical that he would agree to pay HOMAGE and HONOR to him. His consistent lack of character seems to know no bounds.
We can easily imagine that Katherine Jackson has long since stopped reading malicious and hurtful stories about her boy and that she may be in the dark regarding Gene Simmons and his hateful stance regarding her son. We also feel that due to her age and her limited cognitive understanding of the business, she has been relying on others to ascertain the legitimacy of the acts that would be added to this Tribute. It is unfortunate that Global Live Event's CEO Chris Hunt, did not perform due diligence in regards to Gene Simmons.
Chris Hunt should not ignore the very loud and just complaints of the MJGlobal community as we are activists and fighters for Michael. It would behoove him to remove Gene Simmons from the schedule as his addition has been a heavy handed insult to the memory of Michael Jackson. Furthermore, performers who have the want to honor Michael's music must possess a soul, a style, and a grace in order to give proper testimony to this noble and honorable man's lifetime of work;Simmons is bereft of all of these attributes.
We would hope that a swift remedy to such a brazen, thoughtless error by the promoters would be carried out post haste, as just the mere thought of this vile man in the same vicinity as Michael's three innocent children, chills us to the bone. Gene Simmons must be removed from the schedule or this Tribute will be forever doomed.
It is without joy that MJJJusticeProject can no longer, in good faith promote this MJForever Tribute and we shall support a boycott that insists on Kiss/Simmons removal from the MJForever Tribute's roster.
