I've got a few, this is the best book (after death ) on MJ without a doubt. Even if you ony have a passable interest in him, it's really worth owning.

His death aside, that's perhaps the biggest disappointment of all. The 25 year long media led hate campaign against him had rendered the ability to judge his art objectively an impossibility. I was disgusted that the same publications who had done everything in their power to destroy him were then first in line to heap praise upon him in passing. Hypocrisy at its finest. Utter cunts the lot of them.

Deal. Jesus Christ or Michael Jackson, whoever, please give me the Triumph or Victory tours on DVD. Both preferably. Cheers.

Can't figure why Mike was dead against the Victory tour being issued. I've seen it on youtube and it's a killer show.

Same here. There's little skips in the footage (by the uploader?) it'll come out properly eventually i'm sure. Just hope i've got time to appreciate it. I'm now jealous of MJ fans born 20 years ago now. Fucking bastards. I saw the Bad tour, when he was in his prime, you little shitheads! I have seeing him 'in the flesh' memories! and you don't! HA!

.

Or something.

I never caught him in a concert setting. Didn't get on board until Dangerous, was too low on funds when he toured History and then he died.
Sucks to be me.

I've bought Aphrodite Jones' book (Michael Jackson Conspiracy) on him recently. I'm saving it for when i'm laid on a beach in July. It's not about his art, but the last trial and how this tabloid person had an epiphany. it's supposed to be a good book anyway. Foward by Thomas Mesereau.

Yes. Yes it does. I wasn't keen on the History tour though. Saw him twice on that, by then he was pretty much done singing live. Hate it he might have been sleeping via propofol as far back as then too.

Anyway, back to Xscape?

I've got that book. Jones is a little too fawning in places for my liking but overall it's a fair take on the trial and proves how the media reporting was almost completely at odds with what was going on in the courtroom. I think even Mike's most ardent fans would have to concede that he was unorthodox, peculiar even, but too often fabricated sensationalism won out over the actual facts. The book puts it all into perspective.

Yes, Xscape. I can't stop playing those original versions.

The only book I've read on Michael Jackson is Moonwalker. Which of course, was an autobiography and a great read. Really the only book on MJ that I care about since it's straight from the source.

Sunset Driver also has some potential if it were to be contemporized.

Sunset Driver and Hot Streets!

'Hot Street' should have been released officially by now. On something. It's very 1982, but so what. I love it.

a real live circus....

this "album" was never meant to recognize Michael Jackson.....it was never about that......

not for one second

it's kind of like Tupac all over again

hopefully Prince will make sure this kind of nonsense doesn't happen to him after he passes

This new album is incredible.I usually don't get excited about posthumous albums,but I'm really enjoying this one.They did it right this time.

Not sure what you guys are talking about.What "circus"? MJ's estate just released an excellent posthumous Michael Jackson album and most of his fans seem to love it.I don't see some crazy "circus" going on here.

Dj David Morales I can now say that YES I hv officially remixed the new Michael Jackson single. It's classic DEF MIX DM, FK style. I'm proud to say that it's one of the best remixes I've ever done. The DEF MIX family...Peter Schwartz, Eric Kupper and Steve Thornton are representing. IT'S EPIC!!! Stay tuned.....

Agree. All these other books from other fabricated sources I could care less about.

You couldn't care less.

Here's a handy guide.

That Dangerous book has had a release date for about the last three years. I'll believe when I see it, lol.

Xscape is at #1 in the UK, Mike's tenth chart topping album.

Love Never Felt So Good moves up to #8.

Yeah. Kinda the same here... though I don't care about seeing another Prince album at #1 again.

I don't think so. It looked 3D like the new video games to me, only really higher resolution and quality.
