The way the lady said "shame on us" really got my attention. I just wish things would have been differently and Michael treated better.

It's even more shameful she didn't quite mean it, Michael had to pass for many hypocrite like her to have a good image of him... :sigh:

I find even weirder Prince or Paris didn't tweet about it and their aunts and uncles did. :scratching:
 
Re: The Spike Lee BAD 25 Documentary /DVD/ TV / Theater Release [Discussion]

I am surprised by the tweets from the family. You never know what they will support. Taj is the co-guardian right? Maybe the kids got to see it too.

That bothers me too. It's hard to know who is being sincere or not because I don't always know who these people are and how they treated Michael when he was still here.
 
Re: The Spike Lee BAD 25 Documentary /DVD/ TV / Theater Release [Discussion]

They cut quite a bit out compared to the theater version (which kinda bummed me out cuz you got a lil bit more of a wider view of "behind-the-scenes Michael", as well as "working Michael", but I guess time constraints and "family flavored" editing are to blame) but it was still a good watch. To those of you in areas where it hasn't aired yet, keep a look-out, I think you'll really enjoy it. :)
 
Re: The Spike Lee BAD 25 Documentary /DVD/ TV / Theater Release [Discussion]

I was really waiting to watch again the Todo mi amor eres tu clip/part and it was cut out. I hope there will be a live stream link to watch it on BBC. I don't get why in Germany was bradcast full and UK will be as well and in Michael's country wasn't. :scratch: :thinking:

EXAAAACTLY, I was looking forward to that part too :unsure:. On top of that, there were SOOOO many commercial breaks, oh my goodness..... gotta love U.S. tv lol. :smilerolleyes:
 
Re: The Spike Lee BAD 25 Documentary /DVD/ TV / Theater Release [Discussion]

Both La Toya & Randy's son tweeted positive comments about the BAD 25 doc last night (and they are the same family members who claim the will is fake).

Jackie & Taj tweeted, too.
 
Re: The Spike Lee BAD 25 Documentary /DVD/ TV / Theater Release [Discussion]

It would be so, so incredible to have a documentary like this for each and every one of his albums :wild:

:dropdead:

I was 'taken aback' Nelson George and Ms Smith were in the docu. After MJ'S death they are turncoats. You can somewhat understand the confusion and not knowing what to think, before MJ told he had vitiligo. But it changed nothing. They believed he was lying.

MJ was especially hurt the black media (except Ebony and Jet mags) abandoned him. The only black journalist, i know of who publicly apologise after MJ'S death is the former reporter from newsweek. I am forgetting her name. Her apology was posted here on MJJC.

I wish Spike had asked Armond White to be on and speak about Michael. He was about the only critic who really praised Michael's work and took it seriously. He started out not getting it, but after around Black or White and on he was behind Michael 1000% percent. His book "Keep Moving: The Michel Jackson Chronicles' is just wonderful IMO.

Who is Ms Smith? I agree Nelson George should not have been on. Armond White takes on N. G. in his book.

The lady who said "shame on us we're talking about the death of Michael Jackson" but her answer was cut out and said nice things which I don't remember cuz I watched it on German first. When Miuchael was with us she trashed him.
 
Re: The Spike Lee BAD 25 Documentary /DVD/ TV / Theater Release [Discussion]

I was always of the belief that Tatiana was picked because of her resemblance to Jennifer Beals from the 1984 blockbuster, "Flashdance," the similarities between Tatiana and Jennifer Beals' character!

Glad to see at least some family members tweeting about this. I hope it was genuine, and maybe soon we will see encouragement from Michael's children when his estate promotes something in his honor.

Sounds like the writer is salivating over his keyboard while write his piece - another chance to try to put down MJ.

Like others already said it, football always wins in ratings, and what comes Lady Gaga, we have to wait 25 years to compare how her album stands the test of time.

hummph.. I never thought of that before,but now that you say and the Flashdance movie being listed by MJ. I always thought that one reason Michael picked Tatiana was because he "saw himself" in her... as well.
