Thanks. Is it about Mike?

Well the clip showed Oprah asking Paris what it was like seeing her dad perform for the first time. No doubt the interview will focus on Michael, its not like Paris has a career of her own to discuss

Oprah is so obesssed with Michael/The Jacksons. And her network is a big fail .. anything for ratings.

Thing is, for all we know, that's what Michael wanted to happen. Maybe he didn't want his house being turned into a museum with a bunch of strangers passing through it.

...Right?

That front page was so corny and unnecessary. They just tacked a bunch of extra seconds on before you could even access the main site, for no reason LMAO.

People are their own individuals. You don't see Prince and Blanket over exposing themselves. Paris is different than the other two.

Why blame the Jacksons? The other two kids seems to lay low.

There is no way anyone can force a kid to appear on Oprah and do promo events. We'd be seeing the same happening with her brothe Prince too- but he prefers to keep his mouth shut.

If they tried to make me hyped they failed. "you ain't bad, you ain't nothin'. #Who's bad." Meh.

Been watching this documetry 8x today on repeat. Really fascinating for fans who followed the trial of Conrad and for those who didn't. The ending is especially chilling. While I was routing for the DA and Justice for Michael 1000%, the very end of this documentry really makes me realize, while Conrad deserves the punishment he got (if not more), he did try, in his own fucked up way, to help Michael sleep, which is what Michael really hired him on for. I so wish Michael wouldn't have ever been introduced to propofel in the 90s. What a mess.

Try???? it was all about greed, a'int no way common sense could've prevailed within him when he was'nt constantly thinking about the big pay day and bragging to his girfriend aka 'the instrument' about MJ! He is a doctor, took an oath to do no harm.

Just watched the first 11 minutes and felt physically sick. I started laughing at how stupid he is when he talks, it keeps me from bursting into tears cause I'm too disgusted. And he really does not look sorry.

Yes I know... She should just stop and start focusing on other things... I dont understand if she dislikes Mike, why she would keep talking about him? It's just annoying.... -_-

Yeah. It's like no one is watching because they know most of her programming is a bunch of cow manure so she uses other ultra famous folks or their families to bring attention. I think the interviews with the Houston family and Gaga are the mostly viewed things on that network (after her reality series where she closed her talk show).

Yeah, it really served no purpose. I could see if there was some kinda cool effect or something, but really it's just like they tacked on a useless extra page for no damn reason.

Stuff like that makes me miss Michael's website from around like...was it the late 90s, early 2000s? That big, over the top maze of a website with a billion graphics that took forever to load, and to navigate it you had to just click on random parts of the scenery and hope for the best LOL.

It was a pain in the ass if you were trying to get from point A to point B on there really fast, but if you were bored and had time to kill and liked to go, "Ooh, cool" or "Look, purdy", then it was kinda fun.

I'd contemplate doing strange things for one of those blue t-shirts.

it took me a minute to understand, but i think the words you're looking for are "faulting" and "fault", respectively.

paris is outspoken, that's why it's hard for me to believe that she can't open her mouth to show some respect for her father. they can't make her do this - and look so confident about doing it - if she didn't want to do it in the first place. prince was at that so-called tribute concert, and other things, but he seems to know where to draw the line and say 'no, i'm not sitting down with this hypocritical bitch oprah'. i never hear about him 'tweeting' like crazy, and posting pix of himself.

For real. It's easy to say "no" when you want to. Her mother is not around, and, like you implied, Mrs. Jackson is not forcing this little girl to go on television to promote some movie career when she's not even in high school yet. Plus, she has a surprisingly old demeanor anyway. She doesn't dress or act 14, but more like 24, so I bet Mrs. Jackson has no control over Paris' choices either way. What's worse is that Paris doesn't physically look that young either (so she could easily do things she shouldn't even have access to) and it's like she wants to be that way, instead of appreciating her time as a young child.

This is one aspect of MJ's tragedy that challenges hoax theories: If Michael were really around somewhere, he wouldn't be allowing any of this early exposure to take place with his daughter.

My point was that the family started this to begin with. If Katherine or whoever had of sat down and talked to them and FOLLOWED Michaels wishes with keeping his children out of the spotlight, she probably wouldnt be like this "now". I think when Michael first passed the interviews then were obviously forced but maybe now is debatable but I get what your saying

The promo looks okay (website).. the estate could have been more creative with the design and special effects. Im still looking forward to the project, cant wait!!!!

The best documentary on Mike I've ever seen.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 21, 2012

25th ANNIVERSARY OF MICHAEL JACKSON’S

LANDMARK ALBUM BAD CELEBRATED WITH SEPTEMBER 18

RELEASE OF NEW BAD 25 PACKAGES

MICHAEL’S PERSONAL VHS COPY OF HIS JULY 16, 1988

PERFORMANCE AT WEMBLEY STADIUM UNEARTHED FOR THE

RELEASE

NEWLY DISCOVERED OUTTAKES AND DEMOS FROM BAD ALBUM

RECORDING SESSIONS TO BE RELEASED

New York, NY – Twenty-five years after the phrase “Who’s Bad” became a generation’s

cultural catchphrase, Epic/Legacy Recordings, in collaboration with the Estate of

Michael Jackson, will celebrate the legendary album and record breaking BAD tour on

September 18, 2012 with the release of a deluxe package, BAD 25, which includes three CDs,

two collectible booklets, and features the first ever authorized DVD release of a concert from the

record breaking BAD tour.

“The era of BAD represented Michael’s creative ‘coming of age’ as a solo artist in charge of

every aspect of his career – from recording to touring to endorsements to merchandising. This

was the first album on which nearly all of the songs were written by Michael. It was also was

the first album in history to produce five consecutive #1 singles and it took 2 ½ decades for

another artist to match that success. It was also the first time Michael would tour as a solo artist

- his vision, his decisions on what the show would be. The enormous success of the BAD album

and tour was a pivotal moment in Michael’s growth as a composer, performer and producer

cementing his role as the King of Pop. We are thrilled to celebrate such an historic era in

Michael’s career with this release”, stated John Branca and John McClain, Co-Executors of the

Estate of Michael Jackson.

The BAD 25 anniversary deluxe edition will feature three CDs and 1 DVD as follows:

• The highlight of the package is the DVD of Michael’s legendary July 16, 1988 concert at

Wembley Stadium. The concert is not a compilation of performances, but rather one

complete show, exactly as Michael performed it for Prince Charles, Princess Diana and

the 72,000 fans who were in the audience for that night’s sold out show. This show was

one of the record-breaking seven nights played at the venue attended by more than half a

million people – three times that many people tried to purchase tickets. The DVD was

sourced from Michael Jackson’s personal VHS copy of the performance as shown on the

JumboTrons during the concert. This footage was only recently unearthed and is the only

known copy of the show to exist. The visuals have been restored and the audio quality

enhanced so that fans can share in the excitement of that famous night

• A CD of the re-mastered original BAD album

• A CD containing previously unreleased material recorded in Michael’s personal studio at

Hayvenhurst. This material includes early demo versions of songs from the album as

well as demos for songs not included on the final album. All of this material is being

released as it was recorded during the BAD sessions. Nothing has been added. In

addition, this CD will also include new remixes from internationally renowned

DJ/producers

• A CD showcasing the audio from the sound truck recordings of the July 16th Wembley

performance. The first-ever live Michael Jackson CD to be released, this is the only

concert from the BAD Tour known to exist on multitracks

This magnificent 3 CD/1 DVD box set will also include two extensive booklets with yet unseen

photos from the recording sessions, video sets and the concert tour, the original BAD cover art, a

two-sided poster and more. A BAD 25 two CD standard edition featuring the original album

plus the CD of demos and new remixes will also be made available as will a stand alone edition

of the DVD and a picture disc of the original album.

On June 5 in the U.S. (June 4th ex-U.S.), Epic / Legacy Recordings will re-release the original

first single from the album "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" as a CD Single with a previously

unreleased bonus track from the BAD sessions, "Don't Be Messin' 'Round (demo)." This is a

Wal-Mart exclusive CD single in the U.S. and will not be available digitally.

On June 26 a replica edition of the original 7" vinyl of this single with the original B-side "Baby

Be Mine" will be made available to the world. The first single for BAD, “I Just Can’t Stop

Loving You,” was originally released on 7" vinyl in 1987. The 7" single edit of the song has

only been available on that original 7" vinyl until now.

Recently, Pepsi announced an exclusive global partnership with the Estate of Michael Jackson as

part of its new “Live for Now” campaign. Starting this month, Michael Jackson and Pepsi fans

in more than 20 countries around the world will experience this partnership in a variety of ways,

including a retail campaign featuring one billion special edition Michael Jackson Bad 25 Pepsi

cans, live events, and opportunities for fans to access special edition merchandise and new music

from BAD 25.

The BAD album was the third Michael Jackson album produced by Quincy Jones and was

originally released on August 31, 1987. It was monumental in many ways; Michael wrote nine of

the album's eleven tracks and received co-producer credit for the entire album. The album was #1

around the world, made history with five consecutive #1 singles on the Billboard chart, produced

ten chart-topping singles, nine ground breaking short films and to date, the Bad album

has generated over 45 Million units in sales. BAD was nominated for six Grammys and won

two; the album earned Michael the first-ever Video Vanguard Award at the MTV VMA Awards.

Songs on the original album are: “Bad,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Speed Demon,”

“Liberian Girl,” “Just Good Friends” featuring Stevie Wonder, “Another Part of Me,” “Man in

the Mirror,” “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Dirty Diana,” “Smooth Criminal,” with “Leave

Me Alone” added to the album once released.

The BAD World Tour was Michael’s first concert tour as a solo artist. The legendary tour

included 123 concerts attended by more than 4.4 million fans over sixteen months. When it

concluded, the tour had shattered all previous touring records for attendance and total gross

revenue adding three new entries in the Guinness World Records for the largest grossing tour in

history, the tour with the largest attended audience and the most sold out shows at Wembley

Stadium.

More details on this and other exciting projects relating to BAD’s 25th anniversary will be

announced soon.
