I know right? Having Latoya sing anything period is no way to honor a legacy!

I mean honestly, what has SHE contributed to the music industry and to her brother's memory? Nothing.

I didn't even know Latoya had retired in the first place. What did she retire from exactly? lol, she has no career to speak of. Latoya kills me.

maybe her police officer career?

Yes who could forget Toy's stint as a Police Officer on "Armed & Famous"? Another one of her many talents.

I still laugh about her "reaction" when she got hit with the taser

Unfortunately that's just a rumor on a forum with nothing to back it up. Still, I can't wait for new music. I don't really care about reissues (unless there's new songs included) or Tour DVDs.. MJ's albums don't need remastered.. they sound great as they are; We already have enough Hits collections; and full length Bad Tour shows are already circulating on the internet - sure they're not perfect quality, but they're still there.

I am excited about the Immortal Soundtrack, though. I love The Beatles' "Love" CD, so I'm hoping that the MJ CD will be as good or better... and hopefully rumors are true, and there'll be a new song or two included

lol, i feel like we do need more concert dvds.. Excpessially The Victory Tour, they should DEFFINITALLY release Dallas and Kansas City. as Well as a few bad shows (wembley, Tokyo, others) and some dangerous tours besides bucarest.. we already have TONS of High Quality HIStory footage, but i also think they should release more this is it footage.. idk i guess im just a concert dvd nut, lol

I think the best option would be to release the shows either by timeline or demand

if by timeline, it would be the Destiny/Off The Wall Tour, by demand, it would be the Bad Tour

the other issue would be the set lists. The Destiny Tour setlists were very different from the 1981-1997 tours as it changed a couple of times. They performed I Wanna Be Where You Are, Get It Together, Rockin' Robin, Daddy's Home, and other songs that Michael didn't perform again. The Triumph Tour, although there was a set list, it possibly changed from time to time also.

The Victory, Bad, Dangerous, and HIStory tours have similar set lists so it could pose a bit of a problem imo

that was flippin' hilarious!

I never thought of this before, but maybe Whatever Happens should have been the first single. Sure, Santana was very popular then, but not only would have been the first slow single as a duet like in the 80's for AC, but top 40 would have picked it up and loved how gorgeous and beautiful it was, naively thinking MJ hasn't produced songs like that before when fans already know he has. And then the second single should have been the uptempo dance one.

I actually would've loved it as the second single.

Butterflies worked well for r&b radio, but Whatever Happens would have worked even better as a second single.

I hope if "What More Can I Give" is released - it is MJ's demo of it. I've wanted to hear that for almost ten years now.

"Hey, Michael Jackson security guard look just like Chris Tucker?"

"I am Christ Tucker, I'm famous too"

Gosh the trial is so painful to listen to.

Anyways,

It would be great to see the Bad Tour on DVD by now- its so hard to find the performances from the last show in los angeles in 1989 b/c Sony keeps yanking them off of YouTube.

Watching the first time MJ performed "Earth Song" for a live audience on Germany's Wetten Daas.

Bet you haven't seen this before...

That's not from the last show. That's from the November 1988 shows. He did a couple of shows in LA, got sick and had to reschedule the rest, then went to Japan in December 1988 then went back to LA to do the rescheduled shows in January 1989

Im having a mj nite........................................SSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:falloff:

MJ IMMORTAL Debuts tonight.

For anyone who went please post your thoughts under SPOILER rules - so those of us seeing it later on the tour can choose to read or keep away so as to have the surprise of seeing it for the first time.

That said, I hope you enjoyed it.

The estate of Michael Jackson is, of course, watching the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray with great interest -- but with no formal involvement in the proceedings other than wanting "just to be done," according to one of the executors.

"The estate's role will be to watch it," attorney Howard Weitzman tellsBillboard.com. "Having done a few of these types of trials over the years myself, we know the evidence will play out, the jury will come to some decision, and we'll watch it. From my personal perspective and from the estate's perspective, we'd like justice to be done. We know the system sometimes has flaws and the result you'd like to see doesn't always happen. All we can hope is that justice prevails here."

The trial began Tuesday and has already featured bombshell testimony from the late star's security personnel, who prosecutors hope can prove Murray delayed in calling for help in order to conceal evidence he had been over-medicating the singer. On Friday, jurors will hear from two paramedics that arrived at Jackson's home and tried to resuscitate him.

As to how Jackson will be portrayed as the trial goes on, particularly during Murray's defense, Weitzman says those maintaining the estate are "not worried about it. He may be portrayed differently than I'd like to see him portrayed, but his genius speaks itself.

"I like to say, 'What do you want to know about Michael Jackson? Press the play button.' That's all there is to say."

The Jackson estate is preparing for the Oct. 2 launch of Cirque du Soleil's Michae...World Tour and is eyeballing some new projects for 2012, including a possible 25th anniversary reissue of Jackson's "Bad" album and another collection of unreleased material to follow-up 2010's "Michael."

As for the unauthorized tribute concert that members of Jackson's family has planned for Oct. 8 in Wales, which is slated to feature performances by the Black Eyed Peas, Christina Aguilera and Leona Lewis, Weitzman says the estate is "kind of watching it like everybody else. They've never really had any discussions with us, so we're just watching it all go by."
