Jermaine's shame....the concert tribute So Jermaine Jackson couldn't get a single A list performer for a concert tribute to Michael Jackson.
Why did he dupe folks into buying tickets and he he had no firm deal with Mary J. Blige. Chris Brown or Natalie Cole? Now it seems the Tribute Concert for Michael Jackson has been moved to London for June of 2010. It will be interesting to see if he can secure some huge draws for this show. Enough Michael Jackson etc. let Wacko R.I.P. Music Royalty in Motion | |

as a Michael fan, I am going to politely ignore the "wacko" reference.
With that being said, Jermaine is nothing but a gold-digger who is looking to capitalize on his brother's untimely demise. There is a reason why Michael estranged himself from his siblings and his father. Jermaine even went as far to write a song dissing Michael back in the day, and NOW he wants to do a tribute? Give me a break, bruh! He needs to clean the vaseline that dripped from his hair into his ears and get on with his life. | |

So sad. It seems like the Black Community doesn't even want to talk about Michael Jackson. | |

as a member of the black community and above stated MJ fan, I am so tired of the endless coverage of Michael. He's been overly discussed to a fault. So please excuse us if we don't want to talk about him anymore. There is nothing more to talk about. | |

I'm a member of the black community also and I think that he's very important to our history and his legacy most be upheld and not ignored. Dude worked his ass off since he was 5 years old and these performers can't take a couple of days off from their busy schedule to pay homage to a man that without a doubt paved the way for them?

[Edited 9/11/09 17:32pm] Please! They ain't gonna talk about the positive shit like that. They did that ONE DAY. They haven't done that since. 
I love Michael but LET'S BE FOR REAL! | |

It's a Tribute concert not a commentary. And it's held outside the United States where they still loved him. | |

He's loved here! True he had to deal with assholes but that concert was done at a BAD time. It's good he decided to postpone it. The artists didn't have time to get off their schedules to rehearse. | |

They should have made time. I mean who are they? This is freaking Michael Jackson we're talking about. I would have feel the same thing about Prince. IMO they're both equal.
I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree. Peace Out. | |

No the artists couldn't:
Chris Brown had to get a judge to agree to let a probation-convicted Brown to go overseas. Mary J. Blige had an event to attend to in Italy and COULDN'T break schedule. Natalie Cole was doing a show for the Dalai Lama in Memphis around the same time. Akon was "no comment". US5, huh? Some Middle Eastern folks, OK. Point is there was NO TIME. | |

I wish these people would fade away into obscurity again.There is a reason why the Jacksons were ignored all of these years. | |

[Edited 9/11/09 17:32pm] the best way to honor his legacy is to let him rest in peace, black folks aint concerned with his estate, the kids dna, we never heard of those drugs that was in his system. its cool for people to pay homage to him i just dont think a family member need to plan some big tribute concert.some of his relatives act more like fans then family. jermaine is just looking for a way to get his shine on, since his brother died its been all about jermaine.mj's legacy should be his music and black people will never let that die | |

people see through jermaine, that's why. i remember that line from word to the bad. something about mj taking his (jermaine's) share of the pie. so he thought that if mj wasn't out there doing his thing, people would pay attention to him? well, he's going to find out that's not the case.
the black community will never forget mj, just like we haven't forgotten marvin, luther, james, and on down the line. | |

On the real tip, in the eyes of the majority of America, Michael Jackson was a Black boy with enormous talent that was weird, strange, bizarre, odd, eccentric, lived out side of his means (i.e. a multi-millionaire that accumulated debt as if he were a multi-billionaire). Additionally he around his later twenties started to develop a desire to alter who and what he was, i.e. skin bleaching, major facial plastic surgeries, a strong penchant for little boys, porno (movies and books), old ass Hollywood White female film stars, etc.
He even seemed to denounce his ethnic heritage by changing his very Negroid feature to appear to be of Caucasoid origin. Furthermore never father any Back kids, instead having Whites make kids for him and he took them as his own. His seemingly odd behavior resulted in his talent taking a backseat to whispers, innuendos and water cooler chatter. Many A-list stars may want to salute his legacy of music, but not the man himself. He couldn't even get a proclamation passed on the floor of the US House in Congress honoring him. Sometimes a person's fame is overshadowed by their infamy. Jackson's musical legacy should be left alone. Just let it go Jermaine, Janet, LaToya and all the rest. Each of the siblings is making more money now than ever in his death. As a result of his passing, the artist royalties, the mechanical royalties, the performing rights royalties and merchandising is reaping great benefits for every member of The Jackson 5, The Jacksons and each solo endeavor. Even Joe Jackson, whom was once their manager gets a cut from his managerial share under the old contracts. Michael left 40% of estate to his mom, Katherine. Well since Joe and Katherine are still very much married (she is opposed to divorce due to her being a Jehova’s Witness), Michael's worst nightmare could come true - if his mom passes before Joe, he will get 50% (the spousal share) and the other 50% of her portion will be divide equally amongst her children (Rebbie, Jackie, :Latoya, Jermaine, Tito, Marlon, Janet and Randy). Those three little Caucasian kids that he flaunted around as his get 40% divided by 3, so feel no sorrow for them, not a drop of Jackson blood flows through them and they are rich as all get out. Moving on...we have wars, poverty, the need for health care nationally, a recession, an assault on civil rights all over again, horrific rates of unemployment, Black on Black violence at all time highs, a pandemic of swine flu, and other pressing concerns - Michael Jackson's death, his legacy and tribute shows cannot 'heal the world', or even America!

My thoughts are if Jermaine was considerate he would have considered London in the first place since the fans over there had tickets ....Vienna just didn't make sense. Katherine should talk to her lawyer about her own kids venturing out on speaking engagements-concerts- anything regarding the name/image of Michael's name to be cleared first going forward. Brother or not the actions of some Jermaine-Latoya- Tito are getting out of control (interview wise). Business is Business Janet excluded shes gone the route of keeping quiet...doing one interview in addition to the upcoming VMA's. [Edited 9/13/09 5:54am] | |
