And of course MJ, being the sweet person he is, has given the wireless mic to Stevie and has taken a mic with wire himself!

Great person!

Didn't MJ and Stevie do Just Good Friends in Brisbane? I'm not sure where I read that, though.

Re: The Spike Lee BAD 25 Documentary [Discussion]

They only did Bad.
They couldn't be bothered to learn/rehearse the song with the band.

Not CB, Rihanna or anybody else, besides Michael and people who KNEW, WORKED AND TOOK PART IN IT! if not, I agree it's a waste of time, all I care about is MJ, for real he has influenced a LOT of youngsters, me included and I was born 1988, but god, that wouldn't give me the right to have doc time, really if it was a FANS TRIBUTE/EXPERIENCES documentary or something, then cool, but it's about BAD 25 DUDE!! Not liking this at all, no CB for me pleaaseeee :no:

You're correct, this documentary is a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the BAD album, and that is exactly why it IS relevant and justifiable to have stars like Bieber, Rhianna, Chris Brown etc in the show. Their contribution is as valid as the people who worked on the album or knew Mike at the time. It's their contribution that will show what impact that album has had, not only on the music scene 25 years ago but the impact it continues to have today, and it's their contribution that will play a big part in validating that impact. It's one thing to declare an album is still impacting today's stars, but it's better to demonstrate that with evidence from the stars themselves.

People who are moaning about these stars being on the show are just wrong. Simple.
 
Spike Lee works on Michael Jackson documentary

  • NEW YORK (AP) — Spike Lee worked with Michael Jackson and considered him a friend, but the director says even he learned a lot combing through footage of the icon for a planned documentary about the singer’s ‘‘Bad’’ album.

    Lee calls it a ‘‘treasure chest of findings.’’

    ‘‘We have footage in this documentary that no one’s ever seen, stuff that Michael shot himself, behind-the-scenes stuff,’’ he said in an interview Monday. ‘‘We had complete access to the vaults of Michael Jackson. ... He wrote 60 demos for the ‘Bad’ record. Only 11 made it. So we got to hear a lot of that stuff, too, so it was just a great experience.’’

    He added: ‘‘You don’t have to be a Michael Jackson-head to enjoy this.’’

    Lee’s documentary will be part of a flood of material to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the ‘‘Bad’’ album, Jackson’s follow-up to ‘‘Thriller’’ that included hits like the title track, ‘‘Smooth Criminal,’’ ‘'The Way You Make Me Feel’’ and more. The album is being rereleased Sept.18 with additional tracks, a DVD and other bonus material; Lee’s film is due to come out later this year, but no date has been set.

    Besides Jackson’s artistry, Lee said the documentary will show a more personal side of the late legend.

    ‘‘He had a great sense of humor, and he was funny — so you'll see a lot of that stuff,’’ he said.

    Lee interviewed people ranging from Kanye West to Mariah Carey to Sheryl Crow, who was Jackson’s background singer on the ‘‘Bad’’ tour.

    ‘‘We really divided it into two things: Artists today who were influenced by Michael, and then people who worked side by side — musicians, songwriters, technicians, engineers, people at the label, who were all committed to Michael, to the follow-up to the biggest record of all time, which still is ‘Thriller.'’’

    Besides the documentary, Lee also plans to hold his now annual birthday tribute to Jackson in Brooklyn, N.Y, on Aug. 25; Jackson would have turned 54 this year.

    ‘‘This year we’re going to focus on the ‘Bad’ album, we’re going to focus on the 25th anniversary, but at the same time we’re going to play his full catalog, including the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons,’’ he said. ‘‘It’s going to be even bigger and better this year.’’
