    Michael Jackson tribute: Janet Jackson to miss concert



    Janet Jackson said she would find it "difficult" to attend the tribute concert in Cardiff


    • Janet Jackson will not be attending her brother Michael Jackson's tribute concert in Cardiff.

    The singer said she would find it "difficult" because it coincides with the trial of the singer's doctor.
    Jackson's mother Katherine and his sister LaToya have backed plans for the Michael Forever Tribute concert at the Millennium Stadium on 8 October.
    But the event is opposed by brothers Randy and Jermaine and some fans say the timing in inappropriate.
    "Because of the trial, the timing of this tribute to our brother would be too difficult for me," Ms Jackson said in a statement.
    Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Smokey Robinson are due to headline the concert.
    Janet Jackson was not scheduled to perform and her representatives said she had issued the statement in response to media queries about her presence.
    Opening statements The concert will take place in the middle of the high profile trial in Los Angeles of the Thriller singer's doctor, Dr Conrad Murray.
    Dr Murray is accused of giving Jackson a lethal dose of the anaesthetic propofol and failing to monitor him properly, leading to his death in June 2009.
    Randy and Jermaine Jackson, along with several Michael Jackson fan clubs, have also said the timing of the tribute is inappropriate given the trial.
    Opening statements are expected to begin on September 27 and the trial is likely to last four to six weeks.
    Conrad Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter and faces a four year prison term if convicted.
    Michael Jackson died in June 2009 aged 50 while rehearsing for his This Is It tour.

    [h=1]Pregnant Beyonce
    My Fetus and I WILL Honor MJ
    [/h]


    Beyonce isn't going to let a little thing like a FETUS get in the way of her October 8 MJ Tribute Concert gig -- TMZ has learned ... the mom-to-be still plans to bust out a song and dance for the King of Pop's tribute show.


    Reps for the concert confirmed -- Beyonce is still slated to sing via satellite -- saying the "pregnancy will not affect her performance".


    Beyonce is rumored to be nearing the 4 month mark in her pregnancy -- and if the rumors are true, she'll be a solid 5 months preggo when she performs her favorite Jackson 5 song for the concert.

    Cee Lo Green Sparks Rumours of Michael Forever Tribute Concert Cancellation


    Passionate Michael Jackson fans may have finally had their prayers answered as Cee Lo Green, one of a range of acts confirmed to be playing the Michael Forever tribute concert, sparked rumours that the gig had been cancelled.


    For the last six weeks the Michael Forever tribute concert has been at the forefront of the music news scene, as fans and family members feuded with under-fire promoters Global Live Events over the timing, line-up and charity donation scheme of the concert – as well as the scheduling of KISS, whose frontman Gene Simmons publicly called Jackson a child molester - despite the late singer being cleared of all charges by a jury in 2005.


    Hundreds of official fan forums have begged for the cancellation and hundreds of you have written to Stereoboard calling for the gig to be called off. And now, despite desperate attempts by the organisers to make sure the gig goes ahead, it looks as though Cee Lo Green may have delivered the news you have all been waiting for.


    “I just read the gig was cancelled,” Green said in an interview with Canada.com. “so I'm not sure. But I'm up for it - I already have my bags packed. It's honourable to be asked by the family and estate to celebrate the life and accomplishments of Michael Jackson.”

    There have been no official statements or talks about the concert being cancelled, but there must have been at least some news flying around for Green to talk publicly about the cancellation. How would you feel about the gig being cancelled? Tell us in the comment section below.

    Zitat von Nik

    Es scheint also eine Pressekonferenz zu geben!! Ob das mit der angeblichen Absage des Tributes zu tun hat? (siehe Artikel in Beitrag 209)


    eher nicht.
    der call-in ist schon seit wochen geplant,
    und soll angeblich zur 'aufklärung' dienen und die fans wieder ins boot zu bekommen...



    aber bei dem clan und der vorgeschichte ist theoretisch natürlich nichts völlig ausgeschlossen :skepsis

    Legendary MJ conference call with Global Live Events


    Legendary Michael Jackson FA was just in a conference call with Global Live Events about the Forever Michael Tribute Concert which is scheduled for October 8th 2011. We spoke with Andy Picheta who is the Live Event Director. The call lasted for about 15 minutes. Because this is about Michael and his fans we are sharing the information we got from the phone call with you here.


    Invitation to KISS / Gene Simmons


    Picheta explained that the selection of KISS was not discussed with the Jackson family. Also they did not research it enough and were just happy to book the act since they were told Michael was very fond of them. Now, especially because of the recent comments made by Simmons, they are happy that they have been removed from the line-up. GLE hopes that this shows to the fans that they do care.


    Why contact the fanclubs now?


    We were contacted this week by GLE for this conference call. We asked them why now? Why not in the early stages of setting up the tribute concert? Picheta explained that they have done many concerts and tributes. Fans are always part of it but normally a small part. With Michael Jackson it’s totally different. They say they didn’t realize that. When they could do this all over again, they would definitely contact the fanclubs in the early stages.


    Picheta also comments that ‘they’ thought organizing a tribute concert for Michael could only be a good thing.


    Timing issue


    We asked Picheta why the concert was not scheduled for June 25th or August 29th. Now, the concert is badly timed with the trial against Conrad Murray. Picheta explained that they wanted to do the show on one of these dates but that it came with practical issues like artist booking and vanue availability.


    So why on October 8th? According to Picheta this is one day different from the start of Michael’s solo career. It was the release of Michael’s first solo single Got To Be There on October 7th 1971 that marked the official launch of his solo career. 2011 marks the 40th anniversary of his solo career.


    Ticket pricing


    According to Picheta the ticket pricing is normal for concerts this big in the UK. He named the recent Take That concert as example. Tickets of Take That varied from £ 55 upto £ 145. Ticket pricing for this concert start at £ 56. About 2/3 of the audience is able to buy tickets below £ 100.


    Charities


    Picheta insures that GLE has made a profit share agreement with two charities; Aids LA and the Prince’s Trust. The Prince’s Trust because Michael did a benefit concert for that charity in 1988. They get a share of the profit of ticket sales and TV broadcasting. Picheta insures us that both charities are happy with the agreement.


    Guaranteed performances


    Picheta explained that fans are protected by the UK law. For example. If someone expects to see Ne-Yo and he wasn’t there they can get a full refund of their ticket. The UK law is very clear about this and protects consumers for this.


    Estate of Michael Jackson


    The administrators of the Estate of Michael Jackson are handpicked by Michael himself. It is very important for LMJ that the Estate is involved in a tribute of global size. We asked Picheta why they are not working with the Estate. According to Picheta GLE respects the Estate, the work they do and the copyrights they have. He also is clear about the fact that in the UK it is allowed to perform songs from any artist you want as long as you pay for the use of them. There is an organization that takes 2,5 % of the ticket price to make sure this is done.


    Picheta says they feel they are not working against the Estate but alongside the Estate. He also points out that 13 Jackson family members will be either attending or performing at the show.


    He also referred to the diplomatic response of Janet Jackson who was invited to perform too. Janet told GLE that “it is not right for her at this time”.


    .


    The information above is honest and factual. As usual LMJ wants to protect Michael’s legacy above all. It is our duty to inform his fans with facts so you can decide for yourselves. Please leave a comment to let us know how you feel about the Tribute Concert now.

    :rolleyes


    Tja, die army of love durfte man früher nicht unterschätzen und heute erst recht nicht!!!!!!!!

    [CENTER]Some people like to sleep well and give.
    Some people like to eat well and take.
    I guess, I like to sleep well!
    Michael Jackson[/CENTER]

    wie ich dachte...eine art 'rechtfertigung' warum es stattfindet wie angekündigt.
    und ich WETTE, dass keine sau den termin mit michaels start der solokarriere festlegte,
    und dass man jetzt einfach suchte, welches 'besondere ereignis' man dafür hernehmen könnte. :kotz
    deswegen dauerte das wohl auch ne weile, bis der termin stattfand :bla
    bei michaels endlosen erfolgen und meilensteinen seiner karriere war klar, dass man schon irgendwas finden würde...


    der mann ist tot...und das tribut wird doch IHM gezollt, also die veranstalltung soll IHN ehren,
    den kompletten künstler, den kompletten menschen - nicht nur den michael der solo erfolgreich war.
    was für ein schwachsinn ist das denn bitte?!
    wie man gräbt, um dieses beschissene event zu rechtfertigen wah, zu diesem zeitpunkt, mir wird übel :/
    ansonsten sabbelt GLE das gleiche was sie die ganze zeit von sich geben...
    und dass sie 'das gefühl haben, nicht gegen den estate zu handeln, sondern seite an seite' (etwas frei übersetzt)
    ist ja wohl der witz schlechthin.
    hallo?! schon die ÖFFENTLICHE rüge vergessen? miteinander und hand in hand sieht anders aus!
    da redet man IM VORFELD drüber, was man vorhat, wie mans zuwege bringt, klärt die sachlage im detail...
    und dass da ne reihe der jacksons antanzen wird hat null aussagewert über die zertifizierung des events.
    im gegenteil. grade weil der haufen sich ja ewig mit dem estate anlegt, ist das kein gutes zeichen.
    man weiss ja, dass der estate rechtlich nchts weiter machen kann, und so kann man denen mal den finger zeigen,
    darum gehts doch in erster linie!
    ausserdem sind da die meisten jacksons doch nur dabei, weil sie sonst kein rampenlicht mehr sehn werden.
    und die kids - was haben sie für ne wahl? sie überschaun das doch noch garnicht...und wenn oma und opa
    und tanten/onkel/cousins liebevoll auf einem einwirken, dann denkt man wohl selbst, dass es was gutes ist,
    denn die leute denen man vertraut werden einem ja nicht in etwas negatives schieben..:skepsis


    sorry, aber ich könnte echt in den tisch beißen...:blossnet

    Tu das nicht. Der Tisch kann doch nichts dafür :nee



    Die ganze Sache ist echt zum :kotz Alles wird schön geredet :bla Dabei gibts da nichts schön zu reden. Es ist einfach eine Frechheit und zu einem der ungünstigen Zeitpunkte überhaupt!

    Für diese Familie sollte der Orden STRUNSBLÖD erfunden werden.


    Dann können sie sich mal feiern lassen.... diese Bagage... *argh* :häng... dazu ein Fegefeuer... und ich komm dann mit meinen Westerknarren und werde sie ein bisschen an ihren Nasen kitzeln... :django


    :kanni...Für mich wird immer klarer und klarer, das MJ wahrscheinlich seine Türen und Fenster hat vernageln lassen (sinnbildlich gemeint), damit er von seiner Familie nix mehr hören und sehen musste.... :kanni

    [h=1]Tribute Concert Promoters Fail to Sway Jackson Fan Clubs[/h]By JAMES C. MCKINLEY JR.The promoters of a Michael Jackson tribute concert tried to dispel the concerns of fan clubs Monday during a series of international conference calls on Wednesday,
    but leaders of some large groups said afterwards they were still opposed to the event.
    For weeks, fan clubs have criticized the promoters for staging the “Michael Forever” concert in Wales on Oct. 8, around the same time as the involuntary manslaughter trial
    in California of Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician who was caring for Mr. Jackson when he died in June 2009. Several fan clubs have criticized the promoters for not releasing
    details about how much money from the concert’s proceeds will go to two charities that Mr. Jackson had supported during his life. Many have also said the promoters should have
    reached an agreement with Mr. Jackson’s estate before staging the concert.
    “In all honesty, they haven’t answered any of my questions,” said Gary Taylor, the president of the Micheal Jackson Community in Britain, which has 80,000 registered members.
    “Where is the money going? Who is benefiting?”
    “They just don’t want to listen to what we have to say,” he added.


    Juliette Harris, a spokeswoman for the promoter, Global Live Events, said the goal of the calls was to open a dialogue with the fan clubs and counter some false reports on fan Web sites,
    among them the charge that none of the ticket proceeds would go to charity and that the tickets could not be refunded. “We are not trying to persuade people or change their minds,” she said.
    “Our goal is to say ‘Here are the facts.’”
    The opposition of the major fan club groups presents a problem for the promoter, Chris Hunt, a British filmmaker who formed Global Live Events this spring to put on the show.
    The fan clubs wield influence with many of the people most likely to buy tickets to the events. Mr. Hunt did not take questions from the heads of fan clubs Wednesday.
    Instead Global Live was represented during the calls by another executive, Andy Picheta.
    The concert has divided the Jackson family. Janet Jackson and Jermaine Jackson – who have had the most successful solo careers – are boycotting the event, along with their brother Randy Jackson,
    because it conflicts with the trial. La Toya Jackson and three other siblings – Tito, Marlon and Jackie — are planning to attend and may perform.
    The executors of Michael Jackson’s estate, which is not controlled by any of the siblings, have also raised questions about the charitable intentions of the promoters.
    They have made it plain the promoters may not use Mr. Jackson’s image, name or other intellectual property to sell the concert.
    Wesley Noorhoff, the president of the Legendary Michael Jackson Fan Association in the Netherlands, which has 25,000 members, said the conversation with Global Live officials had not swayed him.
    Holding the concert during the trial and excluding the estate from the project still bothered his members, he said.
    “We are still not behind the concert,” he said after the telephone call. “The biggest problems we have are the timing and not working with the Michael Jackson estate and not getting all the Jacksons onboard.”

    tjoa, ganz so leicht lassen wir fans uns dann doch nicht einlullen. jedenfalls nicht alle :P

    31.08.2011:


    Grosse Fanclubs stehen nicht hinter Tribute Konzert


    Die Veranstalter vom Michael Jackson Tribute Konzert haben gestern eine Serie von internationalen Konferenz-Anrufen getätigt. Eine Sprecherin sagte, das Ziel sei gewesen, einen Dialog mit den grössten Fanclubs zu starten und einige falsche Berichte auf Fan-Seiten richtig zu stellen. Scheinbar aber nur mit geringen Erfolg. Wesley Noorhoff, Präsident vom holländischen Fanclub “The Legendary Michael Jackson Fan Association “, erklärte daraufhin gegenüber Medien, dass er das Konzert weiterhin nicht unterstützen möchte: “Die grössten Probleme, die wir haben, sind der Zeitpunkt, dass sie nicht mit dem Michael Jackson Estate zusammen arbeiten und nicht alle Jacksons an Bord haben.”


    Die Künstler JLS und Alexandra Burke hingegen freuen sich auf das Tribute Konzert am 8. Oktober. “Zu sagen, ein Traum geht in Erfüllung, ist eine Untertreibung,“ schwärmt, Marvin von JLS. Die Interviews findest du in diesem Artikel.
