Re: Should HIStory Tour be released to cinemas?
It's selfish to request anything that doesn't deserve to be seen by anyone, Michael never intended to release these performances and yet they are being shown to the world by his estate.
Alright then, if the Estate decide to theatrically release a show then they can just release the Dangerous Bucharest show. Michael released it on DVD during his life time so one can assume he intended it to be seen by the world.
(and going by what you said, you could consider yourself very selfish Zakk since 80% of your posts say "I wish the Estate would release unreleased this and unreleased that"
)
Michael was always passionate about his performances, you can see that. Especially in the early shows of each of his tours.
I'm not doubting his passion but I am doubting some of his performances. When a concert (especially an historical one) goes to cinema, one usually assumes it's a highlight in that artist's career, that it is one of their best performances. If the Estate are going to release a show to the theatre, it should be one that shows The King at his peak. A show that shows WHY Michael Jackson is one of the greatest entertainers that has ever walked this earth.
That's where the definition of selfish come in. I am not putting my personal preferences first, I am thinking about Michael instead and what would be best for him and his legacy. That's not being selfish, that's being
selfless.
For the record, I am not doubting that some people here want the other tours because they personally prefer those tours. However, having sat back and read most of these posts, it seems the vast majority are putting Michael, his legacy and public perception first. They are putting Michael's best intentions first, not themselves. Once again, that is being selfless, not selfish.
