Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

In my day, I've never seen a posthumous album get its own display in New York City before anything regarding it (track listing, debut single) is announced.

I am not sure that ad is authentic. Only one picture from one person of the ad in all of New York, U.S. I believe Michael would have more fans than that in that area. Promotion has been the GMA announcement, press articles on the announcement, listening party reviews and fan focus group reviews.

There's video footage of the Michael Jackson Xscape ad in Times Square.

I think another annoucement will happen at some point this week or next week.
Whether it's regarding the tracklisting or first single, it will happen soon :)

Then ALL eyes will be on the album

Yes and it looks to be the same person who took the picture although I am unsure if they are one and the same.

One picture and one video seems strange to me for all of New York, U.S. when there are several pictures of the Invincible ad. My friend confirmed to me the billboard of the Bad cd cover during the Bad25 promotion was not real.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

just for FYI - the person that took the NY Times Square ad is mkgenie - a member here. Also that's not a fixed ad. That's a video screen that's alternating among different Sony products. So you have to be there at the right time to see it.

Here's a live cam link for it. The moment I'm posting this it's showing a PS4 commercial. http://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/timessquare/?cam=tstwo

Respect77, three pictures taken from three angles by the same person and the ad has the exact same lighting no matter where it is viewed. It is not logical only one person has saw this ad. Michael has many more New York, U.S. fans.

It seems the Xscape ad is not a motion ad; simply a still picture of the cd cover based on the still pictures and the video. The ad should include Michael's name and the sale date because it has no meaning to others who are not aware and are being targeted for the cd sale(s). I do appreciate the link. Has anyone seen it yet?

Thank you. I would like to know what you see when you go.

It seems to pan up, down, and zoom in of its own volition...I haven't seen it yet.

mkgenie has always been a very reliable source of info here on the forum. If he took these pictures, I don't see a reason to doubt their authenticity.

How do you know all three pictures were taken by the same person? I just googled "Xscape Time Square" and these three pics came up from three different sites.

I am unsure why you are stirring the conversation in that direction. I only want to know that the ad is authentic. It is strange there are not other photos online of the ad minus the three stills and the video.

Using Ivy’s link we can all see it for ourselves.

You think all the thousands of MJ fans are going to post those pics in this forum or any forum for that matter? Don't get that. Believe me, I lived in NY, there are thousands upon thousands of MJ fans in NYC.

Well, if they all come from mkgenie in that case you ARE accusing him of making it up, so no one is really "stirring the conversation in that direction" but you.

I was not stirring anything. You seemed to have some doubts about the authenticity of the ad, and I just wanted to let you know that mkgenie has always provided solid information and thus has a proven track record. Do with that information whatever you wish. I was simply trying to help.

Yes, I do expect to see more pictures of the ad as Michael had many New York, U.S. fans. Those pictures would also appear on social media not only fan forums.

I have doubts about the ad being in Times Square. That is not the same as having doubts about a member which is what is being suggested.

I was talking about the authenticity of the pictures. The only reason I wrote that about mkgenie is because I thought you might not have known about his proven track record. I thought knowing that might make you feel more confident that the photos are authentic (and that the ad is thus shown in Times Square). Again, I was just trying to help.

(Btw, mkgenie said he took these photos himself. The location on the photos is clearly Times Square. If you have doubts about the ad really being there, of course that would mean you doubt mkgenie.)

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

It seems the Xscape ad is not a motion ad; simply a still picture of the cd cover based on the still pictures and the video.

if it's not clear what I was trying to say : it's not a fixed 24/7 billboard. It's a video screen which shows different ads, ads change constantly. So it's not just a matter of walking to Times Square and seeing the ad there. You need to be there at the right time and/or you might need to wait a significant/certain amount of time to see it ( we don't know how often they show it). That explains why we haven't seen other pictures of it. There could be thousands of Michael Jackson fans in New York but not many would spend hours at Times Square to try to catch an advertisement.

I have doubts about the ad being in Times Square. That is not the same as having doubts about a member which is what is being suggested.

It's the same thing as having doubts about a member. Because it was mkgenie who posted the pictures and said he saw and took them while walking at Times Square. If you believe the member, you believe the claim of them seeing the ad. If you have doubts about the ad being in Times Square it means you have doubts about the member who is making the claim of seeing the ad and taking the pictures.

and my opinion is that it's legit. There's no reason to suspect mkgenie.

My mother is in New York now and she's seen the ad, and she's says it's like in the video mkgenie posted.

and there you go, a second confirmation


It seems to pan up, down, and zoom in of its own volition...I haven't seen it yet.

yes it does unfortunately.
