Re: TMZ: Michael's London Shows In Jeopardy
Wait a minute, there are a lot of things going on with this article.
First of all, why is this the first time we are hearing that there "was" a signed deal for a Jackson Family Tour. I mean, as soon as the deal was signed, wouldn't "All Good Entertainment" have made a BIG announcement.
Secondly, when Tito was recently on a television program in the U.K., he spoke of "maybe" being invited on stage with MJ at the O2? So my question is, why didn't Tito say anything about the supposed "family tour." How come Janet hasn't said anything about a "family tour?" HOW COME JOE JACKSON HASN'T SAID ANYTHING ABOUT A FAMILY TOUR?" And what about BIG MOUTH Jermaine (no disrespect to Jermaine), he has been talking about a "family tour" for a million years, yet he has not said a word.
Something smells fishy to me. Too many missing pieces regarding a Jackson Family Tour, that nobody knows about, until now.
Also, MJ had his press conference in March, it's now May, and they are just now sending out a cease & desist letter.
Has anybody every heard of an orgainization named "All Good Entertainment."
Someone commented that it is the concert company that is suing, not Michael's brothers. (Far be it from me to defend them though)
ALL GOOD ENTERTAINMENT LAVOT MCDANIEL 1717 ANZAC AV COMPTON 90222 30-Apr-09
Should the name Lavot McDaniel sound familiar to me? Because somehow it does.

Here is their bio:
Founded in 2002, AllGood Entertainment, Inc. is a promoter of live concert events which feature international acts ranging in ethnic diversity from rock acts, adult contemporary artists and comedians to Latin, R&B, Hip-Hop, Reggaeton and Old School artists.
By June of 2004, AllGood Entertainment, Inc. was operating in six diverse areas: (a) Pop/Rock (b) Latin American music and comedy, (c) Urban Music, (d) Adult Contemporary, (e) Comedy and (f) Youth Bands. Each area has separate partnerships and independent financial alliances.
The Latin American music and comedy ventures will focus primarily on expanding already existing alliances that were formed during two recent successful promotions in Elizabeth, New Jersey and Dover, New Jersey -- two cities with large Latino populations. The goal is to tour several prominent Latin artists internationally throughout Latin America and to continue promoting shows in the New York metropolitan market. There are three strategic partners that have proven invaluable over the past six months in broadening our reach into the Latin market: WPAT FM 93.1 Amore', Melly Mell Productions, Inc. and The Ritz Theater. In the upcoming months, we will be co-promoting with these entities in order to bolster our presence in the Latin market.
The Urban Market represents both the past and the very bright future of AllGood Entertainment, Inc. All Good has its roots firmly planted in the black community. In 2003, AllGood promoted major live events featuring the "Godfather of Soul", James Brown, Earth Wind and Fire, a New York CD 101.9 FM Jazz series -- Pieces of a Dream, Marion Meadows, Grammy Winner Dave Samuels and The Caribean Jazz Project and Angela Bofill. In 2004, AllGood forged a local alliance with a New York based urban concert promotion company. This alliance moved AllGood into four major profit centers within the black communnity: Hip-Hop, R&B, Old School and Gospel. This alliance produced together the 98.7 Kiss FM presents...The Temptations and Bobby Womack, at New York's Beacon Theater and The Ritz Theater in Elizabeth, NJ. Hip Hop is one of the fastest growing urban segments and AllGood is partnering with Mateo Productions to promote events in that segment. Such events include album release parties and after concert parties for Missy Elliott, 50-Cent with G-Unit, Jim Jones and Beanie Sigel.
The Smooth Jazz ventures will be a continuation of our existing alliances with Live at Nite and Smooth Jazz station, CD 101.9 FM New York (Emmis Communications). We will continue to book acts that are consistent with the radio station's format in the New York metro area.
The youth acts will be pursued through two separate strategic partnerships: (a) Radio Disney and (b) Lollypop Productions (Puerto Rico); In December, 2005, we opened our San Juan office with Lollypop Productions. AllGood has previously co-promoted a successful holiday teen show with Radio Disney at The New Ritz Theater in Elizabeth, New Jersey featuring teen stars, Brooke Hogan, Jesse McCartney, Greg Raposo, Stevie Brock, Natural, LaLaine, Hulk Hogan and Lyndsay Lohan, now featured in the hit film, "Mean Girls." In 2005, AllGood has promoted major teen stars which include the star of Disney's "That's So Raven," Raven-Symone, the star of the TV series, "Summerland," Jesse McCartney and the star of Nickolodeon's "Romeoland," Lil Romeo.
In 2005, AllGood expanded its operations into three international markets: Bogata, Colombia (SA), Trinidad and Tobago, and Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rico venture was ushered in with a sold-out show for Disney's Raven-Symone. In June 2007, AllGood promoted the sold-out Bon Jovi concert at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico.
The first year triumph, Tobago Jazz/Music Festival, yielded more than 20,000 people for a sold-out performance by Stevie Wonder, Babyface, Natalie Cole, Angie Stone, India Arie and many local acts. AllGood will continue to expand its influence in both domestic and international markets. promoted the sold-out international mega band
More than 24,000 people turned out for the 2006 Second Annual Plymouth Jazz Festival (April 21, 22, 23) which boasted Sting as its headliner along with an acclaimed international line-up of recording greats including Stevie Wonder, P. Diddy, Vanessa Williams, Natalie Cole, Patti Labelle, Doug E. Fresh and Najee.
In 2007, after selling out Puerto Rico's Coliseo de Puerto Rico with Bon Jovi, AllGood announced that it will expand its Latin America touring operations to encompass all of Latin America. In addition, AllGood has commenced operations in the United Arab Emirates, India and South Africa.
In its first five years, AllGood has achieved a global presence in the live concert business in the United States, Latin America, Caribbean (Puerto Rico and Trinidad/Tobago), Middle East and India.
