Exactly. Like "damn you came out the woodwork but when dude was alive you act like you never heard of him or didn't wanna listen to him again."

lol his kids are in the audience and their faces are like i'm not impressed by the people singing

They know their father sounded way better anyways.

There is nothing special about being an MJ fan anymore. Now I feel like he's the public's icon though he always was anyway. I watched it today and was barely entertained at all and I hate to say it, but I'm ready to cry again now cause I miss being a fan before the death as much as I hate what happened to him.

That is very true .. it just saddens me a little I guess I was used to being in my lonesome listening to michael now it's like eh since everybody on board lol.

Yeah it's like "oh you mocked me for liking him but now he's dead it's cool to play him again?" And then they look at you funny when you don't play him.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE IMMORTAL SOUNDTRACK:



I BOUGHT the deluxe edition. at fuggn walmart.

wasnt too impressed. MY MAIN ISSUE with it was---my

first introduction to the whole thing was of course

BEATLES LOVE where they didnt really incorporate

new elements and sounds, almost every sound was

incorporated from original recordings, allbeit in a

new imaginative way. IMMORTAL did that a few times

but the whole REMIX with new instrumentation (DANCING

MACHINE MOST ANNOYINGLY) just did not work.

maybe it sounds better "In concert". I like what they did

with ANOTHER PART OF ME. that was very creative.i hope

they would have done that with all of the other songs.

i havent listened to DISC 2 YET. hope i have a better

experience iwth that one.

thats all i gotta say.

I have the deluxe as well from the ones I heard online I was feeling shake your body and Heartbreak hotel the most. I think for me it was one of those oh what the hell I'll check it out moments when I picked it up I was pretty much aganist it for the most part .

^^ It's interesting hearing people's views on Immortal, especially those experiencing it as a musical trip rather than those of us who have seen the show.

Whilst it isn't on par with the genius of The Beatles Love, it does have moments that wow you with the way the music (or alternate takes) has been reinterperated and pulled together.

As with all cds I think you need to give it 3 listens.

The first will aways be you hearing it against the expections you had.

The second will actually be you hearing it for the first time with those expectations checked.

And the third will allow you to discover a few favourite moments of tracks.

For me, Immortal delivers on its promise to make the music the star, and does so in fun and inventive ways. For me the highlights are This Place Hotel, Dangerous/In The Closet, Human Nature, They Don't Care About Us

I agree with NVncible that at some points the sound effects of the stage show seem to over power the original source material, something that should have been fixed in the mix.

On a side note - with Bad 25 being worked on - how would you all feel if Prince decided to finally do the duet on Bad - if he went in, recorded his new vocal parts and they mixed it in with MJ's. Would you want to hear it?

** disclaimer - this would not be the horrific job done on Beat It with Fergie **

Prince does not believe in being a cash cow, or he would have done more after his death than being subtle in his shows. I don't see it happening.

But I really hope there is a Bad 25 with a great quality performance of the second leg of the Bad tour included.

blanket in xfactor , he is so cute

For the record - I don't see it happening either - but I was interested in would we as fans want to hear it. To hear what could have been?

Michael Jackson's Father Breaks Silence in Tell-All Documentary "Confessions of a Father"


Exclusive Documentary Slated for Release in 2012


Published Friday, Dec. 02, 2011



LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- GPA Entertainment announced today the pending release of an exclusive documentary featuring 84-year old Joe Jackson, father of pop icon Michael Jackson and self-proclaimed architect of the Jackson family musical empire. Confessions of a Father is compiled from hours of interviews conducted over a two-year period. The feature-length film will offer a fascinating and chilling look at one of the most controversial fathers in show business history. Told from Joe Jackson's unique perspective, the film will cover the Jackson family history from the formation of the Jackson 5 through Michael's tragic death and the subsequent trial and sentencing of his physician, Dr. Conrad Murray. The film's release is planned for 2012, as is the publication of "The Architect," Joe Jackson's autobiography from Atria Books, a division of Simon and Schuster.

Confessions of a Father is produced by Johnny West and award-winning producer George Paige, whose credits include "Michael Jackson...the Legend Continues," and scores of other TV programs and feature films. "For the first time, Joe Jackson lifts the veil and airs the dirty laundry, like it or not," says Paige. "If you think you know the Jackson history, think again."

Filmed partially on location at the Jackson family Havenhurst estate, the documentary will give viewers a never-before-seen look at Michael Jackson's personal theatre and the special room where the Jackson family and Michael's children were home schooled. "We filmed in Gary, Indiana too," says West, who also directed. "Seeing the Jackson house and hearing the voices of people who knew them before, during and after their rise to stardom sheds new light on this intriguing family."

Of special interest will be the newly uncovered audio recording of the Jackson 5 in their first ever studio session. "Big Boy" was recorded at Steel-town Records by Gordon Keith, who appears on camera to talk about guiding the dynamic young performers in those early sessions.

The documentary will have a theatrical release in 2012 before a nationwide home entertainment blu-ray and DVD release.

The trailer will be available shortly at www.jacksondocumentary.com.

That old bastard had ample opportunity to "clear his name" so to speak but no one cared then and no one cares now. He gets too much credit anyway. Bobby Taylor and Tito Jackson are the real architects of the Jackson family lol
