Michael Jackson and This Is It period (2009)

If Michael Jackson didn't die in 2009, do you think he would have actually done 50 shows from 2009 - 2010?

Also is it true that he was planning to retire from music after this?

I don’t know if he could have pulled off all the dates, but I had tickets for two dates and was considering adding a third. I think he would have done one more album and retired, cause he was briefly working with different producers in 2006/07 though it resulted in thriller 25

There was no way he could endure the 50 dates, since he couldn't handle only one, and died trying.
In 2001, he was originally supposed to do 3 Madison Square Garden in 5 nights but gave up to two.

That's for sure. Spamming the boards with pointless questions.

The answer though is YES!! It was the doctor that killed him, not doing the show.

He couldn't have pulled it off. He would have fallen apart a couple of shows into it. The man needed to be anesthetized to get some sleep. He suffered from chronic back pain and remember that This is it footage was put together from the few rehearsals the man attended. If he wasn't healthy enough to rehearse, how could he have pulled off all those shows? The rehearsals seem to tell a different story, but only God knows what kind of juice was keeping him going.

BS. No way for you to know. He didn't die from exhaustion. Autopsy stated he was fairly healthy for a man of his age. And that's the only story that counts.

BS? What part? That he needed to be anesthetized? That he suffered from chronic back pain? Now where does he's a fairly healthy guy equate he's gonna be able to pull off 50 shows? Fairly healthy sounds like a grey area. Donald Trump was a healthy guy.

The part where you say that he couldn't have pulled it off, that he would have fallen apart and that he wasn't healthy enough to do rehearsals. He clearly did rehearsals, we saw the footage. He used Propofol also during the HIStory tour and did twice as much shows. Also it's not 50 shows in a row. It would have been 27 in a 2 1/2 month period, then a 3 month break and another 23 in almost 2 1/2 months. All stationary, without travelling. That's hardly grueling.

You're debating with an obsessed Michael fan. Just look at his picture and walk away.

That doesn't matter to me. You're always in everyone's threads having a fit.

Instead of crying about other threads. Do your own thread. Simple as that.

I happen to be an MJ fan but I'm not mental. I know what you mean though. I've been bitten by MJ crazies for voicing unpopular opinions on MJ boards. I took the blinders off a long time ago. We can have different opinions but there's no need to get all bent out of shape.

I know you and the other guy are fine but from my experience. Madonna, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Elvis fans (yes I say this as a die hard also), 2 PAC and Beyonce fans are terrible 🤣

It's pointless because no one knows, It's created to cause arguments. And no one around here is more stupid than you, so heed your own advise.

This wasn't created to cause arguments... You just decided to argue with a couple of org members about your precious idol in this thread (as usual since you're not capable of having a good discussion). But that's a typical obsessed Michael fan for you. Having a breakdown over their idol.

Also if you remember there were actually discussions during that SPECIFIC time frame in 09 regarding about Michael Jackson and how he would manage since he was a washed up 50 year old in 09. Is called a "what if."

So no if anything you've proved to be the stupid one and starting arguments with other people in this thread was your fault and has only proved my point.

What an idiot 🤣🤦‍♂️

Nice try there.

No. It is exactly created to cause arguments (as most of your pathetic threads are), as you've clearly made up your mind and anyone not agreeing with you (which is the only way you consider it a good discussion, people agreeing with you) is in your opinion either obsessed, having a breakdown, deluded, mental and not having their shit together, whatever. And then comes your only argument which is "I'm old, I know better than anyone else", which clearly shows you to be the stupid idiot. And who cares about what ifs? It didn't happen. His doctor killed him.

Blah blah blah blah pointless bitching and claiming "it was created to cause an argument" yet you started that all by yourself and now you can't own up to it. What a joke. What ifs brings out interesting discussions but I almost forgot you're not the brightest one.

Anymore crying you want to do? 🤣🥱.

Pathetic.

It’s amazing how ignorant people can be when it comes to Michael. The bottomline is that Michael SOLD OUT FIFTY CONCERTS IN ONE CITY. No one has or had ever done that. Let’s not forget that this was a man who had no new album or project to promote. This was a man who had been falsely accused and trashed in the media on a daily basis. This had nothing to do with fans pointing these things out, these are the FACTS and pathetic and hypocritical people want to get pissy about that. This shit about “what if” is not relevant, Michael was killed by his doctor. It’s not as if he just decided not to do the shows.

As has been pointed out, these 50 shows were NOT going to be done BACK TO BACK. There was a schedule that allowed MJ to have significant breaks. The answer is YES, I think Michael could have done the 50 shows and that’s that.That is MY OPINION.

Btw, to the person who started this thread, your age doesn’t mean shit and it does not give you any more knowledge than anyone else. You would be surprised at how old some MJ fans are. Therefore, stop with the “age” bull crap. Your “age” doesn’t give you a monopoly on knowledge, because you are sorely lacking in that regard.

That's the answer right there.

I think so, just watch This is it and you see him moving and singing, maybe not 50 shows all at once, but over time.

I reckon he would have done at least 25 or 30. The goal after all was to top Prince's 21. I may be wrong, but on This is it - it is obvious he is getting into it!

I got plenty good loving for ya baby

BS. No way for you to know. He didn't die from exhaustion. Autopsy stated he was fairly healthy for a man of his age. And that's the only story that counts.

As mentioned, the autopsy said he was healthy. He obviously didn’t go to actual sleep specialists because he had an addiction issue and shopped for a drug dealer rather than a true doctor, who ended up killing him. But that doesn’t mean he couldn’t have done the shows. Also, he didn’t need to attend every rehearsal. These were his songs. New people needed to learn group routines. MJ was the star and he was not going to partake in all the dance routines, as he’d be able to freestyle it on stage while the others needed to know far more choreographed parts.

I’m not sure why you mentioned fat-fuck Donald Trump, but any autopsy of him would mention his morbid obesity.

There's no way in hell MJ could've pulled off the 50 shows. It's not solely Murray's fault either. MJ had a history with battling addiction before, he demanded the propofol. He was addicted and if it wasn't murray, it would've been another doctor. Murray was just stupid enough to do it.

Yes. There is. Also he used Propofol during the HIStory tour, but had a doctor who didn't kill him doing so. So whether he demand it, is beside the point. The doctor gave it to him in a way that killed him, unlike the one he had druing the HIStory tour. And whether he was addicted also is not proven.
