Official: The Jackson UNITY TOUR

Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

MJ was the Jackson 5.. They refuse to see the elephant in the room. I think even Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis told them this during that reality show. I will not be seeing this production from the brothers.

thats why they refused to do this pre 09. they knew mj was the sole reason ppl would come and why big money would be made. thats why they kept nagging him. they would have garnered respect from fans if they respected mjs wishes and had gone and done this tour then. instead they finally decide to do it when they have no choice interms of they cant nag and hope that mj will finally say yes. so they have nothing to lose anymore and are going for it while theres an intrest because of what happened to mj. and no doubt in promo for the tour and when on stage they will imply that if it werent for murray (or AEG!) mj would be on stage with them! it stinks more than a fish market
 
The Jacksons Announce U.S. Tour Dates for Unity Tour 2012

The most legendary family in music history, The Jacksons, will be back on tour together for the first time in nearly three decades with the hotly-anticipated Unity 2012 dates.

Beginning June 18, 2012 and scheduled through July 29, 2012, this extraordinary reunion tour marks the first time siblings Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Tito Jackson have toured together since their groundbreaking Victory Tour in 1984.
The Jacksons first achieved international superstardom with their late brother Michael. They were the first group to have their first four singles hit #1 on the Billboard Charts. The Jacksons revolutionized music and pop culture. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. The Unity Tour 2012 will be yet another milestone for the Jacksons, bringing the most famous family in music back together for a historic series of shows.
“This is a dream coming true,” said Jackie Jackson of the tour. “I can’t believe this is finally happening. There’s nothing like having all the brothers on stage at the same time. This will be exciting for our fans around the world– and I know at each concert, MJ’s spirit will be in the house with us.”
Honoring Michael’s memory and bringing the fans all the timeless hits they know and love is also paramount for Jermaine Jackson. “I am so happy and excited to perform again onstage with my brothers,” he said. “I can’t wait to sing all the songs that were so much a part of all of our lives. We are ready and committed to keep the family’s legacy alive and perform once again with the highest level of excellence, creativity, and most of all, integrity.”

Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

I recognize a couple of the venues that are near my hometown. They are fairly modest sized theaters so they have a pretty good shot of selling out or at least filling a good portion of the seats with their respective fanbases.
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

They seem to have a rather heavy schedule?

"perform once again with the highest level of excellence, creativity, and most of all, integrity."

How they are going to achieve that, as Michael was the one in the Jackson 5, who took care of the level of excellence, creativity and integrity?

hmmmm.... Can You Feel It? So has Randy signed on for the tour too or are they intentionally being ironic by showcasing a song sung by 2 people that wont be on the tour?

Well there is some interest, #unitytour was trending on twitter:

Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

I guess jerm finally gets his chance to be lead singer. i find this totally insulting and disrespectful having others singing mjs parts.i guess they are hoping that those who never saw mj will take anything they can get.they better not touch his solo material as that will make them look even worse. At least they are only doing tiny venues instead of thinking they can sell out stadiums urgh im going to bed before i get p***** off even more than iam now.

They will need Sony's Permission who bought the rights to MJ music in a $250m deal with the Estate in 2010.
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

WOW Jermaine actually made up his mind and will finally tour with his brothers? o_O They were trying to convince him in that reality show with no luck! Hmmm they must have promised him he can be the lead since that's what he wanted back then too. lmao

I'm sure the shows will be dedicated to MJ and yadda yadda!

I think you're right. That would explain them performing Jermaine's solos as well.

Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

Jermaine actually decided in the end to perform with his brothers on the reality show. It was Jackie and Marlon who changed their minds about wanting to do it.

:agree:


Yes... -_- it is completely impossible. :fear:





I am still curious about their lead singer.

Jerma :p :fear:
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

I wish the Jacksons the best for this tour. It's just a shame they didn't do this years ago regardless of whether Michael was going to be involved or not.

How the hell is Michael Jackson's spirit going to be there, when in life, he did all he could to distance himself from such reunion?

Even going as far as releasing statements, denying he was reuniting with his brothers.

MJ may be dead, but we still remember all the arm twisting & bamboozling that went on behind the scene to force him to perform with them again. Which he resisted to the very end.

Over the years they constantly bugged michael to do a reunion tour with them and he would always say no. It was just luckly for them that michael said yes to do it for the 2001 madison sqaure garden concert and i think it was katherine who made michael decide to do that for her
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

I think Michael made it perfectly clear that he was not interested in touring with his brothers. He obviously believed in them that they could do a successful tour without him. It seems to me that he had more faith in them than they had in themselves. Now he is gone. So they have no choice but to make this tour good on their own.

Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

Michael moved on and there were still things he wanted to do. Touring with his brothers was not one of them. He never forgot or didn't appreciate his time with this brothers. It was evident in This is It with the jackson 5 segment he did and always did in his shows. The brothers needed to do their own things. Instead they were always waiting for Michael to come back.
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

wow lots of people on twitter were angry at Latoya's remark earlier on The Talk today

Latoya Jackson: 'My brothers are so good you don't even miss Michael...' when refering to the upcoming tour today on the talk

She said that? I don't think so. Michael was the heart and soul of the group. Michael was the voice of that group.
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

If the brothers are so good that we won't even miss Michael then why haven't they been doing this all along? Way to be disrespectful LaToya...I am officially done with you.
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

Very unnecessary, La Toya. Not to mention disrespectful to Michael's memory & kids!

It saddens me Michael kids are around this stupid a** chick...

I've been w/ La Toya a long time ago...
