Setting aside Taj burying the lede here, there’s one other bitter truth that I’ve brought up previously and will no doubt re-emerge in the near future:
This documentary will only appeal to those of us who already believe in MJ’s innocence, as the involvement of a Jackson family member will turn away damn near anyone else. Taj consistently making himself the face of the operation is dooming this thing outright, and the estate is doing the smart thing by staying as far away from it as they can.
Honestly, yeah. I’d rather a neutral party similar to the Square One director put something together.Would you prefer nothing over what Taj is doing?
I think the vast majority of people were fully behind Taj when he announced the project. It was a really volatile period and Taj seemed so passionate and enthusiastic about what sounded like a project that could/should really torpedo the whole LN debacle.Would you prefer nothing over what Taj is doing? Sadly we cant force neutrals into doing a pro-MJ piece as there is nothing to gain in that for them!

I can only speak for myself here, but aside from the whole lack of updates etc, my biggest problem with Taj is that what was originally announced as a documentary then morphed into a 10 part series covering a lot more than just the allegations. It's so long ago now, but I recall there were chapters about the 80's and "fall of a King" and what not - this is absolutely not what I donated for. What originally was set out as a killing blow to LN then became, what will be seen as by the average person/person who believes his guilt, as a complete fluff piece by a Jackson family member. This absolutely killed the idea for me and any enthusiasm I had for it. Setting aside that this change was made after the majority of the $250k was donated, who on earth is going to watch a 10 part series about someone they think is a pedophile? Why would someone site through amount of hours on MJ's /career before getting to the crux of the matter? The average person cannot be expected to last until the final episode. This should have been a 90 minute piece that went straight for the jugular as planned.
It's easy for people to say people are "hating" on Taj or whatever, but that's not true. I totally commend him for what he has taken on, but I feel stronger about someone's ability to say "I'm out of my depth". There would be no shame in Taj simply saying he bit off more than he could chew and return the funds and walk away. What he's taken on is a massive job. It was big to begin with, and he kept unnecessarily making it bigger. Even in his latest update, the site is delayed because "it has become a lot bigger and better than initially planned. " Why does a website need to be bigger and better? What is going to be the point of this website? Exclusive updates about upcoming updates?
It's been over 5 years since the Gofundme was set up with nothing to show for it except for a few family photos.
I think it's a shame that Taj has allowed himself to be found in this position. A lot of people are justifiably angry. He has missed a lot of promised deadlines and as a consequence all of the positive energy and work he did back in March/April 2019 is long forgotten. I believe he has good intentions, but I think that his inadequacy and inexperience has clouded his better judgement here and it's unfortunately caused another unnecessary divide in a fanbase that has more than enough unnecessary divisions.
What's even more unfortunate is the apparent echo-chamber Taj seems to have built around himself on X regarding the project. He has been blocking people who have raised valid questions and called him for for X when he has promised X, Y and Z. This is an absolute no-no for me, no matter who you are. If you can't face valid questions and/or criticism without resorting to childish blocking and referring to people as "haters", then you are not the right fit. That's my opinion.
No one here wants to see Taj fail, because it benefits no one except the accusers and the detractors. But Taj needs to realise that while he may be approaching this with the very best intentions and energy available to him, what he produces also has the potential to have a negative impact on matters if this is not a direct and effective response to March 2019.
I said the exact same thing on a few pages backThis whole thing (if it even exists) sounds like a big pile of boring nothing.
What's he actually gonna come out with that hasn't already been covered in Square One? I'm sorry but Taj has virtually no appeal to pull off such a spectacular documentary.
It's 5 years too late , I've said it before, once the biopic comes out and there's enough demand for the truth, let Fuqua create something for Netflix.
truth is that?It’s been 5 years since LN. While the doc could still theoretically be completed the effectiveness and cultural impact have greatly diminished.
Which documentary is that? I did google it and all it came was LNI feel like finding Neverland (5hr) doc was everything needed to be said. There's literally no need for Taj's doc after watching that. Hell I even cried watching it & I've seen it 3x showing others.
Taj could briefly and succinctly present the most important facts about the allegations in a podcast. Without charging huge amounts of money and straining the patience of the fans.
Which Janet's documentary are you talking about?Janet already made her documentary. I don't think she cared about making that one, let alone this other stuff. But IMO.
Its a little unfair to say the family don't care about Michael, when they were literally there with him, in actual COURT. Responding to any and every bad piece of press or comment is, silly.... And also what Taj is busy doing instead of making a documentary.
The truth is, the biopic matters more than this flick. And so does a successful court case. Sue Taj later, if the Kickstarter truly leads to nothing.
Like, what I said was let's judge people for what they do and perhaps what they say, and not for who they are.And this is why I’m out of here. This board really has gone down the drain. Nothing but negativity and insults and no moderation.
Yeah, that's what I said beforeThis thing is 10 episodes? Is that not a little over ambitious for someone of little to no experience? When do you think this 10 episode series will be released?
Exactly. He's basically poisoning his own project.This documentary will only appeal to those of us who already believe in MJ’s innocence, as the involvement of a Jackson family member will turn away damn near anyone else.
Yeah, it's a classic case of project creep. And by the time this has gone over-budget, it's gonna cost a couple of million, lol. That happens a lot with inexperienced people.I feel stronger about someone's ability to say "I'm out of my depth". There would be no shame in Taj simply saying he bit off more than he could chew and return the funds and walk away. What he's taken on is a massive job. It was big to begin with, and he kept unnecessarily making it bigger.
A website is supposed to be one paragraph to promote a movie and that's it.Why does a website need to be bigger and better? What is going to be the point of this website? Exclusive updates about upcoming updates?
Makes you wonder what he's gonna do on camera when he's interviewing somebody and they say something he doesn't like. Just cut it and walk away, lol.What's even more unfortunate is the apparent echo-chamber Taj seems to have built around himself on X regarding the project. He has been blocking people who have raised valid questions and called him for for X when he has promised X, Y and Z. This is an absolute no-no for me, no matter who you are. If you can't face valid questions and/or criticism without resorting to childish blocking and referring to people as "haters", then you are not the right fit.
Exactly. And if nobody wants to fund it, maybe that should be telling him something.At this stage, 5 years in, its not the ground breaking documentary like Exposing R Kelly or Quiet On Set that streaming services will finance. Its a pet project of an industry Nepo Baby.
Accusers recanting the charges would be the most beneficial thing of all.Michael was acquitted of all charges so what's the point in doing a documentary on it? Real fans know the truth and it's useless doing this in order to change minds of people who believe Michael did it.
We're not listening to a podcast, sorry. Attention span just ain't there.The Michael Jackson Case for Innocence Podcast
tells every thing, nothing else is necessary
There is a documentary about Janet.Which Janet's documentary are you talking about?
Which documentary is that? I did google it and all it came was LN
It's one of those things I feel is a waste of time and money trying to convince non believers. We know Michael was innocent and everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just don't care enough to convince people but that's me.Accusers recanting the charges would be the most beneficial thing of all.
Taj documentary is not needed after this!
That's odd....it works in the u.s. u might need a vpnWhat documentary is it? I can only see the following
