If they are only trying to sell to Mike fans, then Motown could have just released the Goin' Back To Indiana special on DVD. :rofl: Many of the people on this site don't know Garth Brooks and he is one of the biggest selling acts in history. How many people on this site are fans of other well selling acts like Pink Floyd, Eminem, Nelly, Def Leppard, Led Zeppelin, Adele, Taylor Swift, Metallica, Eagles, Nirvana, Prince, Van Halen, etc.? None of those acts sell because Mike is on their records and/or DVDs. I've seen threads here saying that they don't like the raps on Mike's songs and don't like the songs with Paul McCartney. Probably not many here bought the albums of Heavy D & The Boyz, Ice Cube, Wreckx-n-Effect, or Notorious B.I.G. Hip hop has been the most popular genre in the US for the last 20 years or so. You can go to the other music part of this site and few people participate in it. So the taste of the people on this site has nothing to do with how something is going to sell or who's going to buy it.^ The point is the attention that each portion of the show gets.. where does it lean? towards Michael.. Are we really going to debate this? To some it was the singular most important moment in entertainment history and we're going to go back and forth about what is the driving force behind releasing the show?
I am not taking away at the other talent, but Michaels moment was Motown 25, and the world stood still for that moment... He was by far the highlight of the show.. I guarantee you much more than 50% of the people here would not be familiar with Motown 25 if MJ never happened.. It would have been along the lines of Motown 30..
