I dunno. There was one at some point on the last year. Could have been a Jam statue. I think the manufacturer even came on here for some damage limitation.

But they charge more (a lot more) because it's "officially licensed".

I realise the estate don't ever manufacture anything. But come on, let's not try to defend these greedy companies who try to take advantage of people.

I dunno. Maybe Brace Yourself. I just think of him standing there for ages in sunglasses after getting toastered. A couple of songs after Jam he puts on the Smooth Criminal jacket.

This week marked the anniversary of “Cry,” the second single from Invincible, Michael Jackson’s final studio album. While the short film for “Cry” has never been a fan-favorite due to Michael’s absence on screen, the song remains deeply important: a humanitarian anthem calling for unity, healing, and collective responsibility.
But instead of a moment of celebration, the Estate’s anniversary post triggered a wave of backlash—again—after yet another low-quality, pixelated video clip was uploaded to Michael’s official channels. What should have been a simple tribute quickly turned into a comment-section battlefield.

The Estate highlighted “Cry” with a brief caption asking fans to share facts about the track. Playing in the background, however, was a blurry, blocky, visibly degraded version of the short film, the kind of quality that immediately clashes with the legacy of an artist whose visuals defined generations.

Complicating matters further is the Estate’s recent series of AI-upscaled ‘4K’ videos. Instead of improving clarity, many of these so-called restorations are washed out, overly smoothed, and stripped of the visual depth of the original films. Fans have repeatedly pointed out that these artificial enhancements remove detail, distort color, and flatten the artistry, yet they continue to be rolled out as “upgrades.”

In the end, this anniversary ended up saying more about the Estate’s execution than about “Cry” itself. The fans did what they always do: protected Michael Jackson’s legacy, even at the pixel level.
