MICHAEL JACKSON must never be forgotten.
Every interview they continue to smear him. We owe him.
This is funny coming from a man who was pictured with Halperin at Michael Jackson's memorial along with Jesse and Dileo. Strange isn't it? Some seem not to give a damn about Michael and continue to cavort with those very same people that smear him. What gives? Oh let me guess, "IT'S JUST BUSINESS!!" All this mess is just a sick joke to some, I'm not at all amused by any of it!
What are you talking about? That is just not true. You are seeing this as a glass half empty not the other way around. I know I'm giving on a monthly basis to nature. org, to american forests on his honor. There are meet ups for him, tributes everywhere, and the new album hasn't even been released yet! His legacy will continue if we buy his albums, if we continue to give to charities like a lot of us have. The estate has struck multi-million dollar deals to keep his legacy alive. I don't know where you are coming from.
I don't mean it in that way. By 'not bothered about doing anything for his legacy', I mean fans usually don't bother to fight for his name. For eg: I saw there are many sites that don't give a truthful biography of him but no one seems to bother to do anything about it. And, how is donating to nature help his legacy? you're only doing it for nature, for others. You aren't going to clear his name and change ppl's opinions about him.
And yes, ppl have already forgotten him! There's a facebook group that wants 1million candles for MJ on 25th June and there're only slightly over 10000 ppl that joined the group. It's finally close down I think. Many ppl like his music but they don't bother doing anything for him. That's a fact.
... without active fans support, without annual tribute events,... there is a danger that this could happen in 15 years...
(as I wrote before, there is no MJ unity, its lacking in cohesion among us and the euphoria of the year 2009 is almost gone, and the upcoming years will be - grim... and only our memories and remembering the past is not enough...)

Fans always like to compare them but they aren't in the same league. I think MJ is more genius than both of them combined. As a human being, he's way better than them. But the media will never tell you so. It's always the beatles and elvis presley, they always have media like rolling stone, TIME, reuters etc that back them up. In whatever lists, they will put them in top 10 and MJ far behind. They hardly mention his humanitarian works. What they do is keep focusing on his face, and the charges, bizzare lifestyle which I don't think it anything bizzare and downplaying his greatness. So if ppl who never know MJ and only hear about all the bad stuff from the media, they wouldnt really know MJ unless they do their own research. So MJ's legacy is only left with fans and family, but there's no unity. And alot have don't care attitude. And, it's only the first year anniversary..Yes, in the same way that i knew who elvis presley and the beatles were aged 5, yet there biggest hits on youtube, have little over a million views. There facebook groups won't have too many either. It's not that simple im afraid.
It's just the hardcore fans that like more than his music. trust me. And, MJ doesnt have many hardcore fans. He has lots of casual fans though. That's for sure.I know there are all kinds of fans who are doing things for Michael. Just yesterday I saw a post on FB about a fan who got a joke page about him taken down that had been up for years. She got it taken down by getting support from so many other fans that they were SHOCKED.
And as for the groups on FB, it's just because there are sooooo many of them! If everyone who made the pages up and the people who joined them, would join together, there would be a lot more.
We like more than just his music - always have and always will.

Another thing, Elvis had graceland where he lived and buried there, where fans could gather, run in a business like manner. Sadly, MJ didnt have one which will help to keep fans together imo.
I believe Michael's memory will always be alive. He made too much of a mark for him to be forgotten. But I do agree with you on THIS particular fact: There is no unity nor cohesion among the fans. In my opinion and from my own observance this disunity is instigated by various people from the ones infiltrating fan sites/forums as well as those who had dealt shady against Michael. These types are using the fans' grief and vunerability for their own advantage in order to push their agenda. A good number of fans are falling for it and they need to WAKE UP.(as I wrote before, there is no MJ unity, its lacking in cohesion among us and the euphoria of the year 2009 is almost gone, and the upcoming years will be - grim... and only our memories and remembering the past is not enough...)
so if there isnt a mj day for you to go to you will suddenly foget who mj is will you? ok. because joe bloggs that isnt a fans of mj isnt going to go to an mj day.aslong as shit is written in the papers and his music is played and be able to bought and his kids are here no will be forgetting. stop being such a drama queen.like thats you only worry about what might happen in 20 years. lucky youwithout active fans support, without annual tribute events,... there is a danger that this could happen in 15 years.
graceland was set up years after his death. fans expect this within 12 months when the estate and will is still in probate and theres more important issues to be delt with.nother thing, Elvis had graceland where he lived and buried there, where fans could gather, run in a business like manner.
