Eff the Grammy's. Michael should just do what he wants. How can he stand it? All these jacked up demands all the time from all directions? Man, I feel bad for him.

Yeah it's sad. I really wouldn't have a problem if he doesn't perform nor if he doesn't appear at all. I just throw my hands up at this point because at the one time Raymone Bain don't say anything, things get more crazier than when Ray-Ray actually responded! :rofl:
 
Apparently Michael said he was sick and just left LA, he was doing some reherasals but now he is back in Vegas with his kids:(

I honest to god think he is stained from that trial... like part of him wants to come back so bad but another part is scared and unfortunely thats the side that always seems to win. It really is so depressing, I bet MJ wont even attend the Grammy's. He will probably spend 2008 just like he spent 2006 and 2007...hiding out, away from the public eye. Hopefully one day he will get the courage and motivation to take the risk and just do it.
 
Where'd u hear that smooth? Sounds like mess to me.

He never was rehearsing to BEGIN with lol no need for the psychoanalysis that MJ fans just LOVE doing. :p MJ will come back when he feels the time is right. There's no reason to believe hes scared, or whatever.

I don't disagree with what you're saying. But Friedchickenhead is also a shytstarter. He lies about the information he has, and when he thinks it won't go the way he says, he then makes up another lies to CYA, as well as to villify the person in question to boot.

Yes, I know! You're right about that! But it's also a fact, that he is not always totally off the mark! He did get some thing right! Even though he's still a fat pig with no journalistic ethics whatsoever!


This I will say though. I think that MJ should at least show up at the Grammys. I can understand that he is not ready to perform, but if he is serious about releasing new music, at some point, he will have to or what's the point of continuing? Just lay back and live on your royalties. Either way, make up your mind.

That's what I say about it.

Well, I personally think, he shouldn't show up at the Grammys without performing... but then again... if he doesn't show up at all... that would just show a total disinterest on his part in getting back at all! Then I really would have to wonder what that Thriller 25 crap was all about!

I agree with you... he should finally make up his mind and decide what he wants to do! If he wants to come back, he should be serious about it and not be some halfassed journeyman... and if he doesn't want to come back, that's fine too, but just let us know!

wow u guys are harsh. Unnecessarily.

If MJ performs or doesnt.

If he appears or doesnt...

I dont think he'll hear then END of fans' complaining.

Everything for MJ is a bad career move and he might as well retire lol. Even if he's just sitting in the middle of things waiting for the opportune moment like he usually does lol

That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that Patrick is correct in that MJ can easily confirm or dispel speculation such as this. Many members have said this very thing many times before. That's not being harsh.

Further, I really don't care if MJ performs again or not. I've seen him -- many times thru out my life for memories to carry me for the rest of my life. But if he is going to put out new music, I do think it's reasonable to expect for MJ to promote it by being available to do so.

At some point. He has a window of opportunity, but it's a window and it won't be open forever.

In my opinion.
 
THriller 25 is not a new album, therefore he's not as invested in this. Obviously as you can see, this is mostly SONY run thing.

THRILLER 25 IS NOT THE NEW ALBUM THRILLER 25 IS NOT THE NEW ALBUM

How many times! T25 isnt a "comeback" anything lol.

I would think that the Grammys need him more than he needs the Grammys. But it's amusing how they want to exert all of these demands...

I think he should show up, but if he doesn't, it's not the end of him.his career, afterall this is a re release, not a brand new album, when that is ready he'll do what he has to do! So, I respectfully disagree with the last sentence of what you said Mello. What does him not showing up at this Grammy show have to do with whether he wants to continue his career or not? If he didn't, he wouldn't be making new music! When he's ready whether it's tomorrow's show or not he will come! :flowers:

It's funny people still don't get that! :lol: Why should Michael be forced to promote a TWENTY-FIVE YEAR-OLD ALBUM unless he was interested in nostalgia? :lol:

I understand the confirm/deny thing.

BUt as far as him appearing/performing...he has no new music out. THriller 25 is EXTRA stuff LOL So how is this a wasted opportunity? When he has something he feels he needs to perform he will perform it. The Thriller tribute is enough to promote and support the T25 album, theres no need to have an appearance by MJ himself for this. This is not a new album lol

The Grammys will be here next year. And if MJ wants to perform something he'll find a way to perform it, he doesnt NEED the grammys

Yeah Mikel is pissed. He kept insisting Janet won't be there. :lol:

Actually, reading that article again, it's a PROMO PIECE for the company giving out gift bags for performers and presenters...

So I say HOLD ON THERE... it may NOT be true that Janet is performing either. The mods over at Janet Xone is trying to tell its members that right now...

And it goes on! LOL :p

Interfacing with the industry that he has to work in. And giving his fans something to look forward to. Now as much as tend not to really comment on members who have made this point repeatedly, I do think that they do have a point with that. I think that it's his time, whether it's T-25 or new music. He's worked really hard all of his life and I for one don't want to see his legacy reduced to a question mark. The fan community can do only so much in that regard. But at some point, he's gonna have to get on back out there, if that's what he wants. If he doesn't, that's cool too, but just let peeps know. I ani't gonna be mad at him if he doesn't. Now some others would be, but I don't agree with that. It's his life.
 
T25 is not a new album
but he's been doing it since the last year
he certainly devoted his passion and hard-work to the project, which he thinks dosent worth an in person promotion for what he worked for last months?

I dont understand why everybody keeps saying this is a 25 year old album so MJ does not need to promote it! Did he not agree to release it? Obviously Michael supported releasing this, so in my opinion he needs to promote it somehow. Like sure, I see where fans are coming from saying he should save the big guns for the new album but I think part 1 of that strategy is to partially promote Thriller 25. Thriller is a great album and MJ even said himself in the video message that he wants every generation to experience Thriller.

The point im trying to make is that Michael needs to show the world that he can still perform, sing live, etc. It is through mediums such as the Superbowl, Grammies, BET Award Shows, and such that this can be accomplished. I personally believe MJ performing at the 50th anniversary of the Grammy's would have been a potentially historical event. Not only is he promoting the 25th anniversary of Thriller, he is showing the world that he can still dance, still sing, and allowing the public to dip their feet in before the big launch of a new album.

Whether or not he was ever planning to perform at tomorrow's Grammy is irrelevant. The point is that the Grammy's would have welcomed him with open arms, and if I was in MJ's position I would be accepting all the opportunites out there. It just bugs me why Michael never can be a part of his own promotion! Why isn't it Michael leaving messages on Myspace, Facebook. Why isn't it Michael performing on these high profile television events. Its always re-hashed material, tributes, old footage, and pretty much the most non personal outlets to reach the masses.

Remember fans, this is just my opinion, I love Michael very much and am just typing in a rant of frustration because I have sat back over the past few years and seen so many great opportunities pass by, and it makes me mad to yet again see another one fly by...
 
If any artist ever had a non closing window, it's Michael Jackson. Here he is nearly 50 years old and having had his first record released in 1969 and we are stilll captivated by "will he or won't he" appear at the Grammys. Obviously, MJ knows the demand will be there because it has been his entire career.

No one is asking if Usher or Chris Brown will appear. No one is fretting if Justin or Fergie is performing. All the hottest artists on the charts still can't bring the speculation and curiosity that only the King of Pop can bring.

Having said all that, the lack of denial by MJ is all the proof you need that he WILL appear at the Grammys. Bet on it.

LOL. Hey there Chris. The interest in what MJ does or does not do is neverending, no doubt.

We will see soon enough.

If the public sees a question mark, then it'll only stay until mj gets out there again,and he'll get out there when he's ready. But theres no penalty to him how long this happens cuz this isnt the first time his career is a question mark LOL
Its like "Where is he to here he is again"...it is of no consequence to him other than the more people doubt and question, the sweeter the impact when he DOES go out there to prove them wrong. IMO it doesnt make sense to do it for a re release.

Obviously Michael supported releasing this, so in my opinion he needs to promote it somehow. Like sure, I see where fans are coming from saying he should save the big guns for the new album but I think part 1 of that strategy is to partially promote Thriller 25.

He HAS. Sony has done most of it but he's done it too. The promo is going VERY well for this thing, even if u dont directly SEE Michael all the time. T25 is part of the big "comeback" plan but its not ESSENTIAL, I dont think, to it. It's a boost, but it doesnt hurt him if he doesnt support it directly. Besides, he's done the magazine covers NRJ (i think it was) awards, and all that for this. And the Pepsi commercial. plus more to come. Sony can carry this while MJ works on the new album. But this isnt detrimental to MJ's comeback. It's a rerelease of a 25 year old album and yes he had his imput in it, but the way things are going is enough. Like everyone said the big guns go to new stuff.

The point im trying to make is that Michael needs to show the world that he can still perform, sing live, etc. I

And he will , when he's ready. we've waited several years we can wait a little longer until MJ feels its the right time to do so.

The point is that the Grammy's would have welcomed him with open arms, and if I was in MJ's position I would be accepting all the opportunites out there. It just bugs me why Michael never can be a part of his own promotion!

He IS a part when he wants to be. When he has new music u will SEE that. And MJ operates in a very smart manner. He's careful where he performs and where he appears and what time he does it at.Hes not like these current artists that performs willy nilly everywhere and gets over exposed. MJ operates on SURPRISE and SUSPENSE . The fact that u are so hungry for a performance is what MJ thrives for so that when he DOES, its a BIG EVENT. If he does a t25 performance at the grammys, then one at the MTV awards, then makes a blog on myspace, then does a video blog, then performs at the oscars for some reason lol.....when he comes out with new music the suspense is gone.
