The negativity in this thread is simply disgusting. I was so excited when I heard the brothers are finally doing something new but this thread is such a dampner.
La Toya was simply trying to say something positive about their brothers, that even without Michael and Jermaine, the rest sounded great in the Cardiff concert. But of course, those who want to see her in negative light, will always manage to make a different meaning out of it. There would be the question of how well will they do without Michael, and that is why she put that statement trying to be positive about the tour. No Jackson would ever say that they don't miss Michael. She was simply saying that musically their performance was good enough to stand up by itself even though Michael and Jermaine were not there. There is nothing foolish or bitter about that statement.
And oh yes, that video comparison was just genius. Take an amateur video from a poor angle with low quality and compare it with a HQ. Brilliant. I saw the tribute video, they sounded decent. Of course Michael's energy is huge which they won't match, but no one expects them to. I hope the brothers put on a memorable show and follow it up maybe with some new music.
Btw, I know La Toya is a bit of a nutjob. But she wasn't saying anything disrespectful about MJ there.
