I'd rather see nothing than a musical and biopic to be honest. Neither are to my taste and I don't think they add anything to Michael's legacy
A musical which has a main actor who didn't have much good stuff to say about MJ a while ago. Hm...Yes, they are trying to fade his memory. It’s not like MJ One, Immortal World Tour, Broadway shows don’t exist, which do more to keep Michael’s legacy alive than any unreleased music would. Not to mention the upcoming biopic which will reach out to a lot of younger audience.
I know that you are a bit emotional but please think before you post.
MJ One, Immortal World Tour and Broadway shows are just local efforts. I can't visit any of these, and I don't even know anyone who can.

It wasn't the main actor who said negative stuff about MJ. I believe it was someone else who was involved with the show. But regardless, the musical doesn't depict MJ in a negative light and focuses mainly on his music, so it is a positive in my eyes.A musical which has a main actor who didn't have much good stuff to say about MJ a while ago.

Immortal world tour wasn't just a local tour. They did a full fledged world tour. Also there are plans for Broadway to do a tour of USA in 2023. It won't just stay in New York.MJ One, Immortal World Tour and Broadway shows are just local efforts. I can't visit any of these, and I don't even know anyone who can.

Surely, it would be odd if no type of circus/show would NOT want to do any MJ project. It's an absolute minimum requirement.
Mike's biggest market since Bad has been Asia and europe, Asia also happens to be the biggest population. We asians don't have any access to any of these shows.Immortal world tour wasn't just a local tour. They did a full fledged world tour. Also there are plans for Broadway to do a tour of USA in 2023.

You can't compare such shows to music and films. Even a world tour, they go to one city in some countries in each continent. Not all cities, not all countries. And in one country, one city, only so many people can attend.Immortal world tour wasn't just a local tour. They did a full fledged world tour.

I'm a bit emotional? Well if just seeing other people dance to his music is enough for you then to each it's own but that's not keeping his legacy alive! It's 2022 & the biggest artist in the world has not one short film on 4k...that speaks volume!! High levelYes, they are trying to fade his memory.

The market for posthumous stuff is very limited. The music Michael released in his lifetime will always trump any music that will be released after his death.You can't compare such shows to music and films. Even a world tour, they go to one city in some countries in each continent. Not all cities, not all countries. And in one country, one city, only so many people can attend.
Music and film can be listened to, and viewed by almost every single person on the planet. Also, music and film is Michael Jackson. The shows are not. I am not quite sure how you can believe that these shows are better to preserve and keep MJs legacy alive. The more I think about it, the more absurd that sounds.
By no means, shows are not a negative thing at all. I have seen only one MJ show and that was in London 12-13 years ago. There has never been any show near by me since then. But they are just a bonus.
People coming together to dance to MJ’s music and having the time of their lives at MJ musical is indeed keeping Michael’s legacy alive in 2022. But like you said, each to their own.I'm a bit emotional? Well if just seeing other people dance to his music is enough for you then to each it's own but that's not keeping his legacy alive!

Yeah, I guess you'd fit right into The Estate team with your ways of thinking, no offenseThe market for posthumous stuff is very limited. The music Michael released in his lifetime will always trump any music that will be released after his death.
For an artist’s legacy to grow after their death, tribute shows like Immortal, MJ One and MJ Musical do a better job. A Broadway show featuring Michael’s biggest hits will do a better job of enhancing MJ’s legacy than some unreleased song that only a few hardcore fans will listen to in the long run.
I agree. So why not just release everything left in the vaults, untouched, for the hardcores to hear.The market for posthumous stuff is very limited. The music Michael released in his lifetime will always trump any music that will be released after his death.

I can think of several good reasons why they didnt.Did we even get a post acknowledging the 10 year anniversary of the Michael album?
Well I have a great business mind so you are right.Yeah, I guess you'd fit right into The Estate team with your ways of thinking, no offense
Who knows? Maybe they want to save some stuff for the future.I agree. So why not just release everything left in the vaults, untouched, for the hardcores to hear.
Future!? Xscape with only 2 New Songs (Chicago / Loving You) is now over 8 fu*ing years ago, Maybe John Branca is waiting until he will hopefully Meet the Lord ASAP!!!! we was waiting since invincible for a new Album … one greates Hits after greates Hits. Then They was teasing us with Will.I.Am Tracks, i was listening From 2006-2009 only will.i.am Tracks to get a feeling how the new Songs will be every day with a feeling in My Heart That the new Album will drops. Then he announced this is it and the Rest is history. When MJ died After a couple of months i was with My Self a Little Bit happy (Not About His death!!!) that we will get Over of 100 unrealased Song what asshole branca give us was a JASON MALACHI joke!!!!

This pathetic response doesn't warrant a response but I will respond nonetheless.Future!?

24 unreleased Songs between 2009 - 2014.
Speaks for itself!
And they are all good to great songs nonetheless (at least one of the different versions we got in some cases)!
Admittedly the gap since 2014 is long, unnerving & straining.
But with the IRS & the Robberson situation it‘s understandable that they took a break.
Especially the point made earlier in the thread regarding the IRS case & the estate’s argument that there wasn’t much material there (for obvious/financial reasons), is an intelligent observation & is playing a role.
I'll always find it weird that some fans like to act like the estate lying to the irs is understandable lmao.
Are you suggesting most of us here are kids who have never filed our own taxes, and/or scam our way out of them?It's not "LYiNg".
It's about making tough but smart business decisions.
It's about protecting the inheritance of Prince, Paris & Bigi.
All of you who are saying "tHeY sHoULdN't hAvE liED" had probably never had to file their taxes and protect their income.
You put forward your best arguments and calculate for the best outcome.
Anything else would not be deemed a responsible handling of the financial situation.
