Back in the day, the KOP board used to be fun as hell. It makes me sad seeing what has happened to it. Just so much bias.

Yep. I can't even go to it now since it crashed and it's resorted back to looking cheap as hell.

I don't know, I wasn't all up in their business like that but I think so.

Michael fuckin' Jackson!

Latoya was made to look even more crazy on The View this morning. Supposedly she even tried to stop one of the hosts from reading a statement from The Estate and then afterward she said she's Latoya Jackson and she's known all over the world and she doesn't need to do the shit she's doing for attention.

i love this song

I have played this song to death. I LOVE it!

Timmy84 said:

I'm a MUCH older fan and I don't and never have gave a damn about Omer or Jay Kid or whoever was a "friend" or close with Michael. So if anyone believes it, it's young-ass fans of Michael's who became fans of his in either 2009 or afterwards when he died.

CIRQUE SPOLIERS

Hey all, as someone who is going to see MJ THE IMMORTAL in November I was wondering if we should instill a SPOILER alert title to threads about the Cirque shows.

I know I'm always torn between wanting to know what's going on and not wanting to know a thing so I'm totally surprised.

By placing the SPOILER above any such post we can help those who want to keep the mystery, and also still publish news related.

What do you think?

And here we go again.... I bet Jermaine will come out denouncing it, lol.

Michael Jackson family to announce 'thriller' of concert tribute

July 21, 2011 | 4:57 pm

Members of Michael Jackson’s family have called a press conference for Monday in Beverly Hills to announce a concert tribute to the late pop star that will benefit charities in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

Jackson’s mother, Katherine, will be joined at the Beverly Hills Hotel by his siblings Marlon, Tito, Jackie and LaToya to reveal details of the tribute, with strong hints in the press release that it will focus on Jackson’s “Thriller” album. The press release issued Thursday referred to the concert as a "thriller of an event," which is being coordinated by the family members and promoter Global Live Events, not Jackson's estate.

A spokeswoman for the event said no other information is available until Monday’s press conference.

Yeah because he's not a part of it. With his attention whore looking-ass.

That sorry excuse of a father and being famous for so long is probably a reason... sure we all have problems but it seemed like because he was in show business for so long and had such an unhealthy relationship with most of his family, no wonder he felt the way he did.

Well said Timmy! Michael certainly wasn't perfect, but he went through alot of deep things that we probably would never understand. Sadly, it never really wore off on him.

Which is why it is even more sadder how his BLOOD family has represented him and used him since his passing. Their outlandish behavior is appauling and no wonder he distanced himself from them. Their a catastrophe

For real. It's like were they even a FAMILY?!

Ain't that the truth. No one has really represented him in a just fashion since his passing, if you really think about it. Sad that all of these leeches are showing their true colors more and more each passing day.

Exactly!! And what pisses me off are the MJ fans well SOME MJ fans constant excuse for the Jackson family. They seem to be more of a fan of the family than MICHAEL!! If you mean to tell me MJ fans are willing to banned MJ fans for expressing themself over concern of HIS FAMILY USING HIM for money ??? smh I dont care if it was Michaels grandmother... they are a sorry excuse for a family... I have no respect for them.

That's partially why I almost told people from the KOP that were FOR the family to go fuck themselves.

Oh, please - there's no rule that in order to be a 'real' MJ fan, you have to hate the man's family and insult the shit out of them.

It's no so much about making excuses for anything, so much as acknowledging that we don't know what went on behind closed doors in order to say this or that, and it's also just a matter of respect. It's always really surreal to me and fucked up when fans make statements as though it's proven fact that this or that went on with his family, like they were in the room at the time.

I think a lot of it goes back to how delusional and overly-attached most MJ fans are. They listen to a few cds and watch the same videos over and over, go to a couple concerts and somehow forget that we didn't actually know the man or his family.

It's stuff like this which is a decent percentage of the reason why I view MJ fans with such contempt. I AM a fan, but a lot of the time I'm ashamed to be one, and it's not because of MJ. Most of you guys are fucking sick and an outright embarassment.

Nice to see I ain't the only one who doesn't get the over propping of MJ's family on the boards. I truly feel like i'm in The Twilight Zone when I read some of the excuses some fans come up for them.

Anyone who has been an MJ fan for any real length of time knows that MJ fans have pretty strong tunnel-vision; to them no one exists but MJ, really.

Personally, this is one aspect of MJ mania I never understood (it applies to other artists as well). I'm talking about the "fans" who listen to MJ and only MJ, all songs on repeat, 24/7. And like you said, usually diss everything else in the process.

As someone with a thirst for exploration and the joy of discovery for ALL good music (let alone listening to it - there's currently 18,000 songs on my iTunes, ha), that sort of obsessing just never really resonated with me. It's like watching the 'Dangerous' live DVD - most of the time the camera seems interested in showing the rows of fans who are crying or passing out.

Too much of a good thing - or a one thing - is bad, sorta.

Yeah but for real, I mean, it ain't like all of them are like that. Jackie, Tito, Janet and Marlon seem to be real sincere with their shit about how they feel about their brother. But anyways, I guess if folks wanna see the good in all of them, good for them.

Yeah, those are the only ones though, you don't see all over the place talking about Mike, doing tributes and writing books about him.

Really we weren't there when it comes to that family. I take everything with a grain of salt now. Their actions makes me go WTF, but at the end of the day, they're human too and are also grieving or have struggled in their own lives, although some of the stuff they did was horrible too. I also think the KOP rule is silly, but like I said, I just ignore the family now for the most part or roll my eyes if someone says something, cause I can choose to distance myself and not get emotionally involved like I did in the beginning and it's working so far.

I used to put MJ on repeat too and still do, I hope I don't come off as an embarassment However I have a huge collection starting from Steeltown to present, so I have so much to choose from when it comes to him.
