Yeah, that's why her tour became the biggest grossing solo tour ever, and then it was extended to 2009 where she's performing mostly *stadiums*. Oh and with one date in Wembley Stadium, she got what Prince earned with 10 shows in O2. MJ will earn around $40 million with 20 dates, twice as Prince.


absolutely.

i can tell you right now mj is going to be more demanded than prince at the moment due to the reasons you have just said but, of course that certainly does not mean it's going to be better. Stats and figures does not mean it's great and all that...for the record.

you know, i'm going to make a positive out of a negative and say that even with the arguing and the rest, it really does feel like the 80s peak again for our 80s heroes because of it and its a great feeling, We should be happy about that!

lol I don't understand why MJ gets compared to these other artists. It doesn't matter what we say, their actions and results have shown what the deal is.

I 2nd that! This is great news. It's all about the music and the Big 3 are doing some pretty cool things this year with their music. One's going back to the stage for the first time in like forever, the other is going back to the stage this summer to continue a successful tour from last year and the other is about to drop 3 CD's at the end of the month and possibly tour with it so I'm very happy about all of this news.

i think it's safe to say mj will tear that stage up, you have to remeber it's personal for him this time cause his kids will bethere, the last time he performed prince and paris were just toddlers and blanket easn;t even born, Their all older now and will understand whats going on , this will be the first time they really get to see him in action so i really doubt he will lip sing or do something else to make a full out of himself in front of them

That´s true. I haven´t thought about that. Mike will have to show his kids what he´s capable of.

Jackson 'is sane, focused and healthy'Friday, March 6 2009, 11:57 GMT

By Mayer Nissim


The head of tour promoter AEG has expressed his confidence in Michael Jackson's physical and mental state ahead of his residency at the O2 in London.

Tim Leiweke told the Billboard Music & Money Symposium at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City that the singer may add more shows to the ten already announced at the venue yesterday.

Leiweke said of Jackson: "The man is very sane, the man is very focused, the man is very healthy. I think he has been dragged through the mud.

"Despite everything you read about him, he was fine. The man took a physical for us to go do these concerts.

"We spent two years working with Michael trying to get him comfortable with this.

"I think you'll see 20, 25 dates at the O2. His production budget is... Wow."
Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..! London 21 Nights...Clap your hands...you know the rest..
James Brown & Michael Jackson RIP, your music still lives with us!

well she was over London in late Jan/Feb ...so expect her to pop by the 02 on micheals run and the rest of the brothers to drop in he's gonna do 21 + nights in london so he'll have some special guest.... lol lol


forget Janet,he should invite Carlos Santana to play guitar on "Whatever Happens" and Stevie Wonder to play keyboards and sing along on "I Can't Help It".


I would like that. But who knows whether or not he'll play these songs. I doubt it...

Anyway, why do so many folks want to see the Jacksons? His broters are boring, even in the 70s people only cared for Mj (and Jermaine probably).
He would perform the J5-Medley with them, how boring.

No ..No...No... the Jackson Family holds the key to MJ success younger MJ fans have no idea how big these guys where and the effect they had on music history...it's like saying Paul and Ringo should not play or Sam and Dave should not play ...its a big deal ...if you ever get the chance to see them live do it....you will then understand ....I think mike will get his brothers over for a few dates ....then you'll see JACKSONS take over the WORLD ..it will be on every news report around the world it's that big a deal... biggrin

George michael deserves more appreciation, but the reason people tend to forget the man is due to his limited impact comparing to other cats in the 80's like MJ and prince.

I dig george michael music and im a big fan, listening to the song "one more try", what a great song music

George Michael, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Idol, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Lionel Richie and Phil Collins all had big runs in the 1980s too.
