MJ, along with Stevie Wonder, was one of my favorite artists of all time.

His body of work as a solo artists is rather small given how popular he was, but he was, for the most part, a quality over quantity guy.

I kinda wish he never became this global superstar, as I think we would have seen more of his talents come through. He could probably play a few instruments at a basic level, and we knew he composed, but because of his gift of dance, we didn't get to hear him sing live much in his later years, we never saw him play many instruments, and he shut himself off from the world at times. Had there not been all that fame and all that pressure, he probably would have shown more of his talents. What he showed the world was amazing, but in his late teens he was tap-dancing, he had one the greatest voices of all time... we didn't get to see much of that after the 80's.

I honestly think he was innocent of everything he was accused of. I don't think he was the type of guy to go on all the talk shows and speak down about the family or try to convince the world he was innocent. My guess is he knew he was innocent, his friends and family knew he was innocent... and that was good enough for him. I used to sit on the fence about him, but after reading the facts of the case and witnessing for myself how insanely biased the media was... (hell, look at the media after his death.. they were salivating for a knock-down, drag-out custody battle over the children, and were practically instigating it. And look what happened.. it was pretty much settled civily).
I just think it's more than likely probable he was innocent. I don't let my being a fan of his music get in the way. That's my honest, objective opinion.

I think its just a sad situation all the way around. Hopefully he is in peace and his children will be well cared for.

EXCLUSIVE: Katherine Jackson Seeking To Have Protective Order Lifted

Posted on Aug 20, 2009 @ 04:38PM

user posted image

Katherine Jackson has filed papers in the legal drama concerning Michael's estate. Katherine has filed documents seeking to have the protective order that Judge Beckloff gave AEG concerning their contract with Michael Jackson.

An evidenciary hearing is being held tomorrow morning, at which time Judge Beckloff will either deny or grant the estate's contract they are attempting to finalize concerning a tour of Michael Jackson memorabilia.

The court docs say, "Mrs. Jackson's application seeks an order granting relief from the protective order entered in this proceeding so that she and her counsel may consult with one or more potential experts and other witnesses, specifically, Fred Moultrie, Randy Jackson, brother and manager, Taj Jackson, decedent's nephew and assistant, Leonard Rowe, a former tour promoter hired by the decedent to oversee AEG, and possibly a representative of a traveling exhibition company.

"This Is It" To Be Presented Exclusively For Two-Week Limited Engagement
August 20, 2009


A Michael Jackson film built around rehearsal footage left behind after his death will be released in a limited two-week theatrical engagement worldwide.

Distributor Sony announced that the release date for "Michael Jackson: This Is It" has been moved up to Oct. 28, two days earlier than previously announced.

Tickets go on sale Sept. 27.

The studio also announced longtime Jackson collaborator Kenny Ortega is directing "This Is It," which offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Jackson preparing for a series of London shows he was rehearsing when he died June 25.

Ortega had been working with Jackson on the "This Is It" concert tour. His other credits include the "High School Musical" movies and an upcoming remake of "Footloose."

Ticket site swamped for Jackson tribute in Vienna


VIENNA – Fans have swamped the Web site offering tickets for next month's global Michael Jackson tribute in Vienna.

Some 85,000 passes for the Sept. 26 event in the Austrian capital are up for grabs on http://www.tribute2009.com. Prices range from about $85 to more than $712.

Event promoters say the Web site crashed more than half an hour before the sale was due to start at 11 a.m. EDT after a million people had accessed it.

Jackson's brother Jermaine is expected to name the performers in the next two weeks.

The tribute will take place at a 17th-century palace. Jermaine Jackson has said Vienna was chosen as the venue because his brother "loved castles."

Michael Jackson died June 25 at age 50.

It doesn´t play. How can I listen to it. Reading the descriptions, it seems there are parts we´ve heard already. I want that part about his relationship with that princess.

well from what I understand the guy who has that website or is connected to it,passed away a few yrs. ago and only the ppl who bought the recordings have them. They will not 'sell' them because they came in a locked format with a code..I've heard that by now they have figured out the transferre to MP3 of course ah la youtube b4 they deleted them all awhile back. I know on the site makeupshark they are doing transscripts for everyone interested.

From MJJC and Radar Online:

EXCLUSIVE: Michael Jackson Signed AEG Contract Stating He Had "No Known Health Problems"

Michael Jackson's contract with AEG for his "This Is It" tour was filed with the Los Angeles County Superior Court as part of the ongoing probate matter, and RadarOnline.com has obtained a copy of the blockbuster document.

The contract clearly states "Artistco (a company owned by Michael Jackson), hereby represents and warrants that Artist does not possess any known health conditions, injuries or ailments that would reasonably
be expected to interfere with Artist's first class performance at each of the Shows during the term."

Michael personally signed the contract with great flourish.

"Michael Jackson passed a physical that was coordinated by AEG, and he formally signed the contract stating that he had no health problems that would prohibit him from honoring his agreement with AEG," a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

Jackson signed the contract on behalf of his company, The Michael Jackson Company LLC and as the artist, Michael Jackson. AEG Live CEO Brandon Phillips also signed the contract.

The pop star died June 25th of cardiac arrest. His personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray is being investigated on possible manslaughter charges but as RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, there are "major problems" with the case delaying it from being turned over to the D.A.

Here's the contract:

Has everyone heard "Serious Effect" with LL? It's a great track. Takes some time to get into, but it gives you a good feel for what MJ's album after Bad was going to sound like before MJ got Teddy Riley onboard.

I hope some more Glenn Lewis/MJ tracks make themselves known in the future.

Glenn Lewis was working with MJ and writing/producing songs for Jackson's album after "Bad". Eventually, MJ decided to go in a different direction and work with Teddy Riley.

"Serious Effect", "Work That Body", "She Got It" and some other tracks were Glenn Lewis/MJ tracks.

*D'oh.. Bryan Loren was who I'm thinking of. No idea why I was thinking of Glenn Lewis, who was like, still in high-school when Dangerous was being made.

A&E to announce airdate soon for Jacksons special

NEW YORK – The A&E network says an airdate for its documentary special about members of the Jackson family will be announced soon.

A&E spokesman Dan Silberman says the program focuses on brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon Jackson. Silberman says Michael Jackson didn't participate in the show.

The 50-year-old King of Pop died June 25, weeks before he was due to start a string of comeback shows in London. A tribute concert is scheduled Sept. 26 in the Austrian capital of Vienna.

While the special could potentially be expanded into a series, the network says it currently has no plans beyond airing a stand-alone show.
