Karen Faye (Michael's longtime personal friend and makeup artist) e-mailed a MJNO member today and told them that MJJSOURCE is no longer running. Here is her exact e-mail:

"MJJsource is gone. We have requested that Raymone Bain make a statement regarding this issue.

Love, karen"

-----

It was mainly created for the trial which is over.

What else do you expect to read on there?

"Dear Janet,

Sorry to see how the media has invaded your privacy. It pains me to see how far people will go to sell tabloids."

More stuff like that?

"Dear America,

I no longer consider Neverland Ranch my home. I now consider it a cowplop. Good riddance.

P.S. I'm still writing my benefit single."

LOL. Good riddance indeed. He only ever saw the original intro to approve. Everything else that site spews about his involvement is bollocks.

I can't say I'll miss it, cause then I'd be lying.

so are the people getting their money back. ?????

No. I get to keep it all.

People sent MONEY to that site?

For what?

ThreadBare said:

premium membership.

did they ever end up having that fan web chat thing with michael and randy? or that dinner?

Nope, it was all Randy's doing, and when they fired Raymone for some bizarre reason without MJ's knowledge, she stopped feeding them any info. They had to call fans to find out what was going on because Raymone was giving info to fansites and the AP but not communicating with anyone affilated with that crappy site.

Here is the post from MJ's website:

"Dear World.

I would like to announce my webpage MJJsource as officially closed. Im not the man in the mirror anymore, nothing is as black or white as it use to be.

I am now concentrating on the next phase of my life, in the south of France on a property in the vineyards. Although MJJsource is now gone, I will continue on with other ventures. Here is a taste of my latest venture from my own personal collection:



I look forward to your continued support

Love & Sunshine

MJ"

to the above post.

So does Jacko now have any official website?

BTW, I saw in Roger Friedman's column the other day that the sale of Neverland was imminent...but I think he's said that before! Anyway, anyone heard anything about that? And what happened to the charity single??

CandaceS said:

Let me take this one step at a time..First of all Roger gets his facts all mixed up. Ask any diehard Michael fan, (such as myself) we can point out exact times and mistakes. So first of all..Neverland..Michael has not OFFICIALLY announced he is planning or has sold it. Also keep in mind, it has been "reported" Neverland has been sold like 4 different times and each of those times, it was false. In regards to the sale of Neverland, we are all still waiting for Michael to announce his plans "Officially" or for it to have a big "FOR SALE" sign. Whichever comes first. As for the single, Michael is currently working on it. Snoop Dog even recorded vocals for it along with R. Kelly! I believe I read it should be out by this winter at latest. Michael is really trying to get the wheels spinning to get this song done ASAP from what I've read. I hope this helps!

LOL @ Roger continually saying that mjjforum.com is his official website

jasonstar said:

"Out by this winter at the latest"? It's possible to get a song written, recorded, and released in less time than Jacko's been talking about this one! If it takes much longer, I fear it will be met with more derision than gratitude.

CandaceS said:

I believe I heard someone say they were shooting for this Month or December. Personally, I believe it will end up like "What More Can I Give?" And if you are going 'What is that?' You are not alone (no pun intended) it was Michael's 9/11 charity song, that ended up not happening for (depending on who you believe) Sony say it was Michael's fault for hiring a gay porn producer (Marc Shaffel) to help out and Michael says it is Sony for not promoting it. Regardless it never saw the light of day. As for the new single, I believe it is being "released" 2 Sea/Sea's Records. I don't have a good feeling about it. I tried to tell other Michael fans but they didn't want to hear it. So oh well..I suppose time will only tell!

Hey I really like that song.

thesexofit said:

me to

lilgish said:

if only it was an mj solo song. Take off "cry" and put that on there instead.

yes "the lost children" is better then "cry" (i havn't heard any jacko for months now)

thesexofit said:

lost children is pure shit

lilgish said:

i could take it.

thesexofit said:

Invincible is the only Jackson record that is unlistenable, I thought he had better quality control, at least if he's gonna release shit like this he should do it every year like Prince.

lilgish said:

I agree 100%. We all know the 100's of demo's that go wasted. It sucks.

The first 3 tracks then, ?

lilgish said:

what are you saying about Prince's output lol

lilgish said:

You are so right!

I digged Invincible for like a week and I still think it is alright, but it isn't a Dangerous. Most of the slow songs suck big time. However, all his new found young fans love them for some reason. Why???? You want slow stuff go listen to Off The Wall or Thriller's slow tracks. Invincible's problem I think is that it lacks innovation. From the start, Rodney Jenkins (one of the main producers) said he was trying to get Michael back to the "Off The Wall" sound. Okay, except Michael already made Off The Wall on an album called off The Wall. No need to repeat it. At least when Michael Jackson made Off The Wall with Quincy Jones, they were trying to be innovative, not trying to do something Michael had already done. Seriously, Invincible is just Michael doing the same stuff he did on Thriller and Off The Wall with lamer and more "Nsync" sounding beats. Ick. Now I'm not saying all of Invincible sucked, because "You Rock My World" and "Unbreakable" and "Whatever Happens" (with Santana) are great, and I'll even put up with "Cry" and "Speechless" but some of those songs like "Don't Walk Away" are just unbearable for Michael's standards. If it was an Usher record I would have expected some crappy filler song like that, but not on a Michael Jackson CD. I mean come on! And while "Threatened" was catchy..the Thriller revisited theme worked well Ghosts and Is It Scary..but enough is enough. Okay sorry for the Invincible rant..I just felt like it had to be said!

most of the 90's was unlistenable and painful. I thought the man was finished until he made TRC.

Newpower Soul was barrel bottom type shit. doing a sheryl crow song and making it worse than the original. though Rave had a few good tracks.

The man let Poom Poom out but if all Michael has left is The Lost Children than by all means I wanna hear the garbage to.

I'm calling it garbage, even though I could never approach making music like them, but when you fall so far from what you've done. The classic era is gone man, they will never make music that good anymore, so I rather hear it all.

P did have a few gems admist the wreckage.
