New MJ content?

[Fuzball]

oh god...
well now no one gets to hear these songs so whats the point i dont get that...

because not everything's about money

It’s just arrogance on Will’s part. He constantly badmouths the Estate for releasing MJ’s unfinished music, then turns and tries to do the same thing himself.

For Steve Porcaro, it seems to come from a place of authenticity. He doesn’t want the song to be remixed and reproduced and lose all sense of its originality. (Ironically, though, he once said that he wanted to completely redo the music track and release it at some point, so I’m not sure where he truly stands on the issue.)

i think they both talk from a place of ego where they dont want THEIR fingerprint off these songs,the magic is in the vocals and thats the one thing the estate will never touch and they know that,producers are replaceable mj isnt.

youre right its all about who got the bigger ego

Paris is a recording artist in her own right, you have to remember also that TJ has constantly stated that he will do anything for PP & B when they need him. Being business savvy is certainly something that is required with something as big as this. John Branca is now in his 70's. So I doubt he will want to do this in his 90's, can you imagine? The Estate will eventually be passed down, and if I recall correctly it will be Michael's children who decide what happens from there.

john is not working alone i can assume there are teams of people working for him on all fronts of the estate and that he probably has a "right hand" that will take over when the time comes but we'll see

When these guys pass away, the songs will be remixed in some form anyway. Better to get it out there as legit as they can get them before it's too late, while they are still alive

once they pass away. the kids will own the estate. john already said it. so one day we will probably get what we are asking for.

[NatureCriminal7896]

Something that needs to be remembered and also respected at times is the fact the music industry would simply not exist without fans and consumers purchasing their products.

true.

[NatureCriminal7896]

michael made the music industry 10 times better. miss him.

Yeah, the same thing happened with Bob Marleys estate. Although control and publishing are two different things, I think something will probably be in place of how things are going to be dealt with when that point is reached.

[NatureCriminal7896]

not wish death on john. also i don't wanna push the kids. i mean, yes that's their dad and all but at the time i don't want them to be force. but yeah it's really up to them they wanna do that which they probably will.... i hope so.... they probably will do an better job than the people owning it now. i hope so. being a child to an famous person isn't easy. prayers to them.

I’m gonna be honest: I really think that the estate is gonna go radio silent once the kids take over. Paris has her own career, and I can’t imagine she would want to set it aside to manage her father’s. Blanket/Bigi seems very private, so that spotlight might not be up his alley (though he could play a John McClain roll and just work in the background). I could maybe see Prince taking over, but he’s also sort of forging his own path, so I wouldn’t put money on it.

I’d rather see them take over as advisors, and 1-3 other people reign as primary executives.

The guys from "the lab" (Forger/Barnes/Bottrell) along with Buxer&Prince would be the optimal choice.

[SmoothGangsta]

The kids will not want to take over the estate imo. They have their own lives.

why you say that?

yes they will. john already said so. but they have a choice.
