Oh come on now jaya!
MJ was taken to court and was found not guilty! How can you know any better than the judge? As far as you know he hasn't done anyone any harm. I can't imagine you helping anyone out, with that ugly ass attitude you've got. Why don't u lighten up IT'S XMAS FOR CHRISTS' SAKE!!!
Happy B.day 2 him on high, n' u down there wid' yo' foot in yo' mouth, shut up, already. Damn.

As I said, the excuses are getting tired. And so is your terrible grammar.

What I want 2 know is...why was Vegas such a bad idea when people found out Prince was doing it? But now that Mike is doing it...it's all honkee dorie(sp?)

i can't speak for all, only for myself.

when prince announced his vegas stint, it seemed like another lame step by what has become a very lazy entertainer. he didn't tour for his latest record, he didn't promote his latest record, and he made one video for his latest record. instead of coming around to us and wowing us with a live show that suggested something more, prince decided to set up shop in vegas and do "the standards" (give or take a song or two). personally, i've seen prince far too many times to settle. i'd rather just skip his walk into the sunset.

michael, on the other hand, rarely performs at all let alone in the states. i've only seen him live once and that was with his brothers on the victory tour. if watching mike solo means going to vegas, i'll go. not because it isn't lame but because i don't expect to get another chance. i also don't expect to see mike pull out some rare tracks and jam. i expect, and hope to see, the hits performed. i expect mike to do a "vegas" show because its more his style (take that however you wish).

maybe i expect more from prince. maybe i just don't have a strong interest in prince anymore. after all, i was just in vegas last weekend and i didn't even bother to check if he was performing until the day before we left.

regardless, i'd fly to vegas to watch mike. i wouldn't do it for prince.

I agree. I don't want Michael to be a Celine or Prince doing shows every night in Vegas. A special concert or a few dates but NOT the "contract for a year" thing. It is just so NOT LIKE Michael. However, it that is what he decides to do, I will support him 1000%.

jayaredee said:

What bullshit excuses? Unlike you haters, WE go by FACTS. We don't subscribe to bullshit rumors, innuendo, manipulation and SPIN. We actually followed every single instance of these bullshit allegations. We know what was said in the courtroom via court transcripts,by actually being in court,following the bullshit timeline that the prosecutors conjured up and the totally ridiculous "allegations" of the accuser, not victim. Therefore, the excuses come from people who don't know WTF they are talking about and are just speaking out of malicious hate. It's alright to dislike MJ for your own selfish reason; but to call him a "pedophile" and NOT know the facts is just plain ignorant and gullible. Be able to back up your claim or STFU. You can bet that WE(fans) certainly have more than "excuses" to back up our assertion that Michael is INNOCENT and always has been. What do you have other that your personal "hate"?

Prince isn't doing shows every night.

and I can see Michael doing shows in vegas every night if they were giving him an award at the end of every show.

you stole the thought right outta my head.

Go Skyecute! It's your birthday! Big pimpin!

Say it like it is skyecute! I^m with you on that!
It seems poor jaya has got an axe to grind. He should spare us his nonsense.

skyecute said:

Well, I wouldn't go as far as calling him a pedophile. However, Michael should have known better, admitting on television that he shares his bedroom or offers his bed to a child is a beautiful thing....though no crime has been committed, it carries a sort of "ick" factor to it, its actually a little gross, and I hope Michael knows better now, than to speak such things in public. As a grown man, he should know that that is not appropriate behavior, and the fact that he continued to do it, even after being accused the first time. I would have thought he learned his lesson, but he went back to doing it again.

I say this to say that I have no facts to prove anything, but I don't feel so inclined to run to his rescue as you do....I don't know.

Now as far as Vegas, as mentioned before, Vegas turns out to not be such a bad thing, if you bring something innovative and unique for the fans to enjoy.

ya'll, please don't run this thread off into the usual "omgz, he's a pedophile" bullshit. enough already.

In light of James Brown's passing, MJ being in Vegas and Prince already performing there is a historical in itself.

Petty "rivalries" aside, lets embrace them for what they are and what they mean to the bigger picture on music & entertainment.

They are really the last of the song and dance style entertainers/musicians and although I may not be the biggest MJ fan, their music (Prince/MJ) have been the soundtrack for my life the 29 years on Earth. My musical tastes have evolved past both men, but they really are titans in the world of music, so Vegas or not, let's celebrate their artistry.

sallysassalot said:

Or maybe you don't know what's going on behind the scenes...Of course I'm not trying to be disrespectful...But there are some pretty reliable sources that have said that Prince is merely doing the Vegas residency to prepare for an upcoming world tour...According to my same source, he didn't think the new band was ready for the road...Basically, he's being paid to practice...But you didn't hear that from me...

So so true!

I just find it strange that as soon as Prince is in Vegas that all of a sudden MJ decides to come back to the states. Reminds me of back in '84 (?)when Mike's physical appearance started changing, around the same time Prince got real popular and Purple Rain came out. The media compared the two and ask which one is the real king of pop, although they both have totally different styles so you really can't compare them.

I like MJ, but to be in Vegas the same time as Prince I really don't know. Maybe he'll only be there while Prince is on tour, if there is a tour. But murph you are right, we should embrace these 2 musicians. I am surely grateful that we have both of those artists and the music they have given us over the years.


But I still say Prince should bring the 3121 club with the Jazz Cuisine to the
East Coast too. (Atlantic City, NJ that is)

Imagine if Michael checks out Prince's show one night.

JasonStar said:

P would be So Hot, MJ's face would melt!

What if they both turned out 2 b a pair of closet queers, fell for each other 1 night and did some kind of Zoolander & Hansel kiss and make up kinda' ballad thing! now would that make you happy? and if not, why not? e.t.c.

I hope it's not true, my two favorites artists now doing Vegas, it would just be so uncool..

but, I guess the money is too good.

I wondered how long it woulld be after the official announcement came out about Prince playing the half-time show at the Superbowl that the MJ camp would start making noise.
I guess not long at all.

Oh goodness....


I agree that Vegas just isn't big enough for both P and MJ.

No c'mon, P has always seemed keen for competition, check: the time. And his occaisional whining about Oh back in the day, when....blah.. blah
If anything it'll be good for him, maybe he'll try to do something more daring than 3121.

shygirl said:

agreed.

if this is true, MJ just trying to steal some shine from Prince on the dl.

but whatever...I have NO interest in seeing MJ unless its a tape of him years ago when he was black and interesting.

MJ is more interesting now than he ever was.
Superball, vegas or not, it'll be a tremendous loss for all if he's finally snuffed out now.

The odds r stacked against him, but it's at times like these when one has a chance to do something truly amazing. After all the malicious nonsense he's had to put up with in this last decade, no-one is more deserving than he is!

i read that it might not be possible for MJ to perform the US agian

becasue he is being sued by so many ppl

1) custody with debbie rowe
2) 48mil for arranging re fiancing of beattles catalogue
3) ex accountants suing him

in civil suits he isnt forced to come back to US

but if he is in the US he will be forced to defend himself

so most of his time will be wasted on litigations

and he still sing or dance ?? he will be lip syncing if he puts up a show now!!
he has lost his old magic i dont think he can perform now

Michael and Prince are working together in Vegas.

Prince Brunei that is.

If Vegas had room for Frank Sinatra and Howard Hughes (Now THEY were rivals with MUCH bigger stakes) then there is room for MJ and Prince.
