  1. Controversial MJ Documentary Leaving Neverland [GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD]

    Disagree. Big Michael and Janet fan here; this whole thing puts her in a very precarious position from a PR standpoint. What you want from her (an explicit, pulpit endorsement of her brother) would literally pour fuel on the flames and would be exactly what feeds the negative headlines. She...
  2. Controversial MJ Documentary Leaving Neverland [GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD]

    I see Taj's position. It's true, reviewers and naysayers would immediately call it a fluff piece designed to sanitize not just Michael but all involved in the 93 situation. And that's before even hitting play on the doc. Then having family at the forefront heightens that issue the more. So...
  3. Celebrities Supporting Michael

    On Ti's post, the following "liked": Justin Bieber (!) Jermaine Dupri Rita Ora Teyana Taylor LeToya Luckett Luke James Phaedra Parks Hit-Boy (Producer) Michael is especially loved in the music artist community. I think because of how sensitive the accusations, many are afraid to speak up in...
  4. Controversial MJ Documentary Leaving Neverland [GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD]

    THIS! You pretty concisely summed up everything I rambled on about lol. LN is exactly that -- a play on emotions! And, as we're all made up of different life experiences and are just different as people, we are predisposed to reacting to such tactics differently. By nature and experience, I...
  5. Controversial MJ Documentary Leaving Neverland [GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD]

    I'm a big believer in free-will, so no judgement. But I am surprised at the small sect of fans who are now doubting MJ based on a) info we knew already and b) the slick production of a doc that we long understood to be heavily edited and one-sided - so as to tell a specific story. I'm actually...
  6. Grace Rwaramba Defends Michael Jackson Against Sex Abuse Allegations in HBO's 'Leaving Neverland

    Amazing! I've been so back and forth about when I feel a rebuttal doc should come out. But whenever it does drop, THESE little known stories are what NEED to be trotted out. A wedding during the trial?! Like WTF! Very few outside the fan community know Grace and she won't be perceived as...
  7. Controversial MJ Documentary Leaving Neverland [GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD]

    Pretty much my stance. Having supported through the various trials and tribulations from a young age, I do see things through a slighter more mature lens now than I did in the past. And it has me quite frustrated with Michael. Love him as we may, he was very stubborn and socially not "with...
  8. So... what’s the Estate’s next move?

    It's a tough call. Initially, I felt they should have gone guns blazing. But the more I thought about it, the more I understood why they didn't. Mounting a huge pushback campaign before or during the broadcast would have literally drawn many more to watch the source content (LN) to "see what...
  9. Controversial MJ Documentary Leaving Neverland [GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD]

    Ok, so we're 3/4 way there. And by that I mean it's aired completely in the US and just part 2 left to air in the UK. The coverage there, like America, seems to have been much louder before airing than during or after. Just take a look at today's newspapers...
  10. A Media Writer's Take On LN Fiasco + What Next?

    A few random musings following last few days: * Feeling a lot better. The doc is of course not a good look for MJ, but this could have been much bigger (and was anticipated to be), but it's fairly mute. The US ratings are a pitiful given the hype; and all that the entire fiasco has done (on a...

  12. Controversial MJ Documentary Leaving Neverland [GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD]

    Brilliant! He really ought to be out and about doing this majorly. Like others have said, he was concise and poked all the right holes. Very convincing and especially so for anyone uninformed or on the fence. I love and commend what Taj has done/is doing. But some will never shake the family...

  14. A Media Writer's Take On LN Fiasco + What Next?

    Totally! We live in a weird weird time. Something is a hyper hot topic for all of 5 minutes and then something else comes along and it's totally forgotten in a blink of an eye. Just look at the (deserved) furore surrounding R. Kelly, then Jussie Smollett. Successively huge stories but radio...

    Hey MJ Fam! Longtime fan here and former member (just can't remember old login lol). In any case, testing times has brought me back. Obviously not the best of circumstances. But taking solace in us weathering this storm together. Just wanted to share a few observations: As someone who has...
  16. Controversial MJ Documentary Leaving Neverland [GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD]

    A polarizing but popular TV host. Grating as she can be at times, she definitely wields a lot of power. Especially with more casual consumers of Pop culture. So any ally we can get is a plus.
