MJ TRIBUTE CONCERT The Plot To INVADE AMERICA

http://www.tmz.com/2011/0...obal-live/

They dont have any artists signed (except for Cee-lo) yet they're working on a deal to livestream this. Makes sense. But then again this is the Jacksins, and what doesnt make sense to everyone else apparently makes $en$e to them

Are they incredible or what?

Not only do they plan on full a 75 000 places arena in Cardiff in less than 2 months with no announced artists, but they also plan on full arenas in the US and make more people pay to watch the concert on a screen there.

It'll just have them fight with more lawyers when all this is gonna crash

They so do it all with style, seems like they want to make SURE they have to more problems possible and with the more people involved possible everytime.. They're killing me now.

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Acts signed for October's tribute concert for Michael Jackson include Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, Smokey Robinson, Cee Lo Green and JLS, the promoters told CNN Thursday.

Members of the Jackson family taking the stage October 8 in Cardiff, Wales, include several of Michael Jackson's brothers, "the next generation of Jacksons," and 3T, which consists of Tito Jackson's three sons.

Alternative rock band Alien Ant Farm and British R&B singer Craig David are also on the bill, while other artists will be added in the next few days, according to promoter Global Live Events.

"This announcement is just the beginning, we have many more to announce," Global Live Events executive Paul Ring said. "This concert will unite various generations and musical genres, reminding everyone of just how amazing a talent Michael was."

With the "Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert" line-up now known, fans can start "registering their interest for tickets" online at http://www.michaelforevertribute.com/ beginning Thursday, the promoter said. A lottery will determine which fans will be invited to purchase tickets, it said.

The concert in the Wales Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, which seats 75,000 people, would be at least four hours long, Global Live Events CEO Chris Hunt said.

Jackson matriarch Katherine Jackson and the promoter are scheduled to discuss the show's plans in a live broadcast on CNN Monday.

The delay produced grumbling and doubts expressed on Jackson fan websites, but promoters hope the revelation of the line-up will satisfy them. "Fans of Michael's music will get the concert they've been waiting for," Hunt said in a message posted on the promoter's website last week.

Two of the five surviving Jackson brothers, Jermaine and Randy, objected to the timing of the show, issuing a sharply worded statement last month that reflected a deep division within the Jackson family.

"We want to make clear that this does not reflect the position of the entire family," the two brothers said in a joint statement after their mother and four siblings endorsed the show.

"While we wholeheartedly support the spirit of a tribute that honors our brother, we find it impossible to support an event that is due to take place during the criminal trial surrounding Michael's death," Jermaine and Randy Jackson said.

The involuntary manslaughter trial of Michael Jackson's physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, begins in September and is expected to continue into October.

While Katherine Jackson has previously said she would attend every day of Murray's trial -- as she did when her son was tried on a sex charge -- the promoter said the Jackson mother will travel to Wales for the concert.

"In light of this, we feel it is inappropriate to be involved with such an ill-timed event and its promoter, Global Live," Randy and Jermaine Jackson said.

Their statement said the idea of the October concert was presented to the entire family in April "as an idea already in its advanced stages." The decision to go ahead with it "disrespects opinions and wishes expressed in the strongest terms" by some members of the Jackson family, they said.

The Michael Jackson Fan Club agreed with the two brothers, issuing a similar statement.

"We share their concerns that this concert is taking place at a most inappropriate time when everyone's care and attention should be focused on the matter of justice. We believe that, as stated by Jermaine and Randy, the most important tribute we can give to Michael Jackson at this time is to seek justice in his name."

Jackson fans posted messages on the concert's Facebook page questioning ticket prices and the process for buying them.

Fans must register for a chance to buy a ticket. While the website initially said the higher a pledge to a charity they make while registering, the better their chances of getting a good seat. It was later revised to say that donations are not mandatory and all applications will have an equal chance.

A portion of the concert proceeds, particularly fan pledges, will go to charities, The Aids Project LA and The Prince's Trust, the promoters said.

A spokesman for Michael Jackson's estate said last month that the promoters never sought or obtained permission from the estate's executors to use the late pop singer's name or image.

"The estate has not been contacted and is not involved with Global Live Events in the UK tribute concert announced today," spokesman Jim Bates told CNN.

So will the next generation of Jackson only incluse the 3T.. and maybe Genevieve, Austin.. or also Michael's kids....

Wow, so they actually have some artists signed on for this mess. So I guess this thing will be happening then? And what--no Beyonce? As for the next generation of Jacksons, I will not be the least bit surprised if they have Prince, Paris and Blanket perform too.

Tha what we fear.. and that's probably why the left it to interpretation.. like if seeing MJ's kids on stage would gather more people.. True fans don't want those kids to be used as circus clowns to attract money to this greedy family... It may do the opposite as they want, have people run from this event in case they are planning to ''show'' the kids...

I hopw they onyl talk about Austin, Genevieve and 3T... but hey it's the Jacksons... sigh

What is there left when your own mother is more interested in getting money from a concert than seeking justice for you during the trial of the man that killed you....

What's left.

Registration opens at 8pm UK time..

So who's in??

Count me OUT! And if they livestream it at venues here in the USA I aint gonna go see that either!

Fuck the Jacksons (except Michael, his kids, and Janet). Fuck them all.

^I hear ya man! I mean, they dont even have Akon as a part of this tribute! Akon man! What the hell is wrong with them? @ the Jacksons!

But yeah I get what you meant by that since he worked with Mike and everything. Oh well, hope it bombs.

Lol yeah I was joking about Akon, but since he did actually work with MJ might as well include him in the B & C-list celebrity line-up. And what about Will.I.Am? Why isnt he knockin down the door to be a part of this tribute?

Will would probably think this was bullshit anyway. He still mad over the estate releasing the album.

Yeah. I think its quite telling that Janet isnt participating. The reasons are obvious but they've been hyping up "the world's biggest music superstars" to be participating in this event--one would think his own superstar sister would be one of the performers. That his own sister Janet wont be a part of this says a lot about this concert. If I were a performer who'd been asked to be a part of this, I would respectfully decline.

BTW you can now register for the tickets on the website.

Janet is paying tribute to her brother in her own way. She don't need her stupid family's help in doing that.

Yes that is true. But since this is supposed to be (according to Global Live and half of the Jacksons) a wonderful, pro-Michael event thats supposed to have the worlds biggest stars paying tribute, some would think that his own sister would be one of those artists. I totallly understand why she isnt involved and I agree with her.

People talk about Jermaine and Randy as being the only ones in the family who are against this concert because they spoke out about it. But IMO, I think Janet, Rebbie and Joe are against it as well. Although they havent spoken out against it, they havent spoken out in favor or in support of it either. Their overwhelming silence on this tribute speaks volumes. So you have Katherine, Latoya, Jackie, Marlon and Tito all showing their support for it, and you have Jermaine, Randy, Joe, Janet and Rebbie who are not giving their support to this tribute "shamcert" (sham concert).

The family is equally divided over this tribute. And i can only smh at the artists who have agreed to be a part of this shamcert. If this was truly legit, among other things the entire Jackson family would be on board and support it, not just the half of them. And its less than 2 months until Oct. 8th and they are still trying to get more artists to join them? We will have to wait and see if this shamcert actually happens or gets cancelled at the last minute.

Oh yeah that's true. Jermaine and Randy definitely have spoken out. Rebbie hasn't spoken to her mother in a while if you believe rumors. Janet either. And we know about Joe.
