It wouldn't be them performing though, it would just be a hologram. What would make people gathering in an arena watching a hologram of Michael Jackson more disrespectful than when people gathered in cinemas to watch This Is It? I respect your opinion but to me it sounds like you're against all posthumous releases; and if you are not I could use your argument against any posthumous release.

I'll try to explain. 'This is it' was different in that way, that it was Michael's last rehearsal. The last performance of one of the greatest entertainers I've known in my lifetime. And when we see that we know that. He knew what he did and what he did it for. If a hologram is used, they can do whatever they want with it. It can be used for all purposes. 'Michael' will be at the mercy of whomever sees something in it. They can make him perform with whomever or wherever they choose.

Maybe I'm too oldfashioned for this, although I'm amazed about this modern technique.

And no, I'm not against any posthumous releases, but this goes too far for me.

Jacksons to Honor Michael, Bring Tour to Cleveland

By Breeanna Hare, CNN

(CNN) — It’s been nearly three decades since the Jackson brothers went on tour together, and they’re remedying that this summer.

The Jacksons, including Tito, Marlon, Jackie and Jermaine, will hit the road for their Unity 2012 tour, the group announced Tuesday.

The last time the brothers toured together, it was for 1984′s Victory Tour.

The Jacksons, of course, came to fame along with their late brother Michael Jackson, and it sounds like their 27-date U.S. trek will uphold the King of Pop’s memory.

“I am so happy and excited to perform again onstage with my brothers,” Jermaine said in the statement. “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.”

Jackie called the tour a “dream coming true,” adding, “I know at each concert, MJ’s spirit will be in the house with us.”

The tour kicks off on June 18 in Louisville, Kentucky, and runs through July 29, ending in Snoqualmie, Washington.

The show will come to Cleveland on Tuesday, June 26 for a performance at Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica.

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

I don't think anyone wants to see the brothers do bad. But a lot of people myself included have bad taste in our mouths with there comments there actions or lack of action since June 25 2009. You can't call a person a hater for questioning the motives of the family I mean after all fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. And lets be frank they have tried to fool all of us many times. Having said all of that if we have learned nothing since that day in June of 09 it is that life is way to short if you want to do something do it because no one is promised tomorrow. So I will say that I wish the brothers luck

The date at the Apollo seems to be selling, I just looked on ticketmaster for one ticket and it said none were available. The interactive chart for the Rama, ON doesn't look too bad either.

pffttt,,,,yep...that is wAYYYYYYY to much...I wouldn't pay 1 nickle to see this ...not even if it was someone-else's nickel. ;(
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

Selling out is hard. If they can fill 70% of the venues, it's hard for me to think that wouldn't be seen as a success for them.
 
Move Over, Tupac—Michael Jackson Hologram Could "Absolutely" Go On Tour With His Brothers

If the late Tupac Shakur could put on a show, so could Michael Jackson.

Yes, a hologram of the King of Pop may be going on tour…

The late music legend's brothers Jermaine, Jackie, Tito and Marlon just announced that they are joining together for Unity Tour 2012, a 27-city jaunt that kicks off June 18 in Louisville.

It marks the first time they've toured together since the Victory Tour in 1984.

"I just wish Michael was here with us, but I'm sure his spirit will be in the house," Jackie exclusively told me this morning.

And he may be with them afterall. Jackie said a Michael hologram could very well be part of a bigger tour they're planning for next year after they release a new album with their recently reunited record label Motown.

"It could have Michael—absolutely," he said. "Wouldn't that be wonderful? As a matter of fact, we had that idea two years ago for Michael's Cirque du Soleil show."

The brothers are still working on the set list for Unity. "There are so many songs," Jackie said. "That's the hardest part because we want to include all the favorites and not leave anything out. We're going to sing some of Michael's stuff, too. We're going to honor him on the stage. He'd want us to do our thing to the best of our ability."

If mj was here with them, they wouldnl't be playing in those venues. So they're planning a bigger tour next year, i suppose they should wait and see how this tour shapes up first, 28 yrs is a looong time to take off between touring - it's like a generation.
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

Trying to tour with a hologram could really blow up in their faces. Not only is it incredibly expensive (which would force ticket prices to be even higher to recoup their investment) but it would really set them a million steps back concerning any attempt of actually making it on their own.
The critism that they are getting about this tour would be nothing compared to what people will say if they try to resurrect and force Michael to perform with them in hologram form after decades of refusing to do so while he was alive.
I hope they decide against the hologram.

so embarrassing and awkward. If the performance in their upcoming tour like this, they will be failed badly.
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

Geez, why don't you just wait it out before you all are getting worried?? You have no idea what they have planned. And whatever you think they should do, don't matter. They will do whatever the hell they want to do.

Jermaine is that you?

LOL! Just kidding.
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

I don't think they can do a hologram of Michael. Doesn't the estate have to give the okay for that?
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

I guess if the Jacksons were gonna use a hologram of MJ on their tour,
now would be the best time in spite of it being too soon, IMO, to hologram MJ. After all,
the brothers aren't getting any younger. IDK.
:mello:
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

I hope the brothers are exercising daily and going to the gym so they can be in their best form for the tour. Hopefully by then they will be able to move around the stage more fluidly. I remember Michael said he was the one who worked out dance moves for the team to do on stage.

From that interview ^^ it seems they are, going to sing some of Michael's songs. Well good luck with that men. The tickets are pricy but the tribute was pricy too, and I hope Hunt has nothing to do with this show.

They couldn't get him in life, they are going to get him in death!
Michael spent last 28 years of his life not wanting to tour with them and now when he is dead, they are planning to bring him on tour with them! They really should think that again, long and hard.
I hope the estate won't give permission for them.
They are going to sing Michael's songs too! Another thing they should think long and hard.
Jackie contradicts himself in his interview, he says "He'd want us to do our thing to the best of our ability"
How it's going to be their thing if MJ is there as a hologram, they are singing MJ's songs?
Really, what is their thing?
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

If they use a hologram or even sing MJ solo songs on this tour it will be even further proof they CAN'T do nothin without Michael.

No way the estate allows them to use an MJ hologram. That's money out of their pockets. We all know eventually they're going to get in on this. Do you really think they would allow the brothers to do this before them? And I think it's safe the say this tour doesn't have the budget to pull off an awesome hologram anyway.
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

With the lack of work ethic, there is a fair chance that these concerts could end up cancelled.
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

I'm wondering what charities are going to be benefitting from this tour. I only ask because i know jermaine was very concerned about the lack of charitable donations in mj's 30th anniversary concerts back in 2001.

In a press statement he states the show should benefit the needy. "It is almost embarrassing that no charities have been named to benefit from this most momentous occasion," the statement reads. "With all the suffering that is taking place throughout the world, we feel the show's promoters should donate the proceeds to worthy charities."
 
Re: Official: The Jackson Start Their National Reunion Tour in July

There was a time when I wouldn't worry about the estate getting into any money schemes with the brothers but after they ok'd those autographed beat it and thriller jackets I'm not entirely confident that they would put a stop to an MJ hologram touring with them.

If they do eventually make a hologram, I would prefer a solo tour :)

Omg is this real? He didn't even pay his own child support. jermaine Jackson is really something else. Still remember in 09 jermaine planned a ill fated michael jackson tribute concert claimed money would go to a fake $$charity>his pocket. I think his gimmick was also called out by some media at the time and it failed embarassingly.
