    ok yes i just saw this on sky news! so michael being alive means this is a good thing cos we dont want a tribute concert cos he aint dead! but, i have to say that this is disgusting cos these organisers and venue people dont realise that this is "michael jackson" they are supposed to be holding it for!! its sad from a non believer prospective but promising for a hoax! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
  • I already posted my impressions on this on other forums, since to me this is really weird, to say the least.
    I'd like to share with you, also...
    Okay, I read the news today on the net, and I started to wonder why... Exactly as I did when Vienna tribute was cancelled.

    This is the article I read:

    <!-- m -->http://www.singersroom.com/news/4954/Mi<!-- m --> ... e-Canceled

    Quote:

    Sources say the event's organizer, World Awards Media GmbH, closed down November 30 and has since been liquidated, making it impossible for original plans described by Jackson's brother, Jermaine, to move forward.

    Now my question is: who does this company belong to? Why did it close down?

    I googled the company, and the only website I found is this:


    <!-- m -->http://www.worldawardsmedia.com/<!-- m -->

    CLOSED!!!

    and I also found this:

    <!-- m -->http://www.dealipedia.com/company_view.php?id=19039<!-- m -->

    <!-- m -->http://www.dealipedia.com/deal_view_ban<!-- m --> ... hp?r=16069

    They announced BANKRUPTCY on Dec. 18, 2009.


    I think I'm going crazy...

    everything seems to have a dead end to it and make no sense for the people that think Michael has died they should be up in arms about this and stamping their feet in disgust but i have not heard that they are if i felt Michael was dead I would be disgusted with the way he is being treated.
  • Oh, here is the last link again, the one I pasted before did not work:

    I agree with you on this!
    Sometimes I discuss about the facts occurred in the last six months (and soon before June 25th) with a friend of mine who is a diehard fan. In the first few weeks, she was interested in the investigations we were doing here, but later on I realized that she is quite irritated by the idea of an hoax... How can people ignore such oddities??? <!-- s:evil: -->:evil:<!-- s:evil: -->

    That is it I dont get it and why arnt they annoyed at the way Michael is beng treated no concert etc and all the odd things the big one the doc not been arrested and the house where Michael "died" not being searched prperly by the police the missed things and then the family removing stuff with removal vans surly they would have damaged the eveidence if it was all true why havnt the fans kicked off about it.

    I JUST READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT ITS CANCELLED BECAUSE THE ARTISTS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE TREATED LIKE B ARTISTS ,YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ? I DONT KNOW HOW TO SAY IT IN ENGLISH
  • I JUST READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT ITS CANCELLED BECAUSE THE ARTISTS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE TREATED LIKE B ARTISTS ,YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ? I DONT KNOW HOW TO SAY IT IN ENGLISH

    I understand completely. Do you know what newspaper you read that from? Is there a list of what celebrities agreed to participate in the show? I can well imagine they would feel like they are being treated as B-list celebs because the person who is hosting the tribute show is a B-celeb. Sorry.
  • nothin suprises me with this family anything to do with michael gets messed up never had this problem with a tribute to freddie mercury or princess dianna all i can say is michael is alive and thats why the tribute aint happenin coz hes probs controllin the whole thing from behind the curtain and if it aint right it dont happen he was a perfectionist after all,i ca just hear him now no wait no thats not right hang on i want it this way lol.
  • I will really be glad when Jermaine finally discovers that, hello <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: --> you are NOT A CONCERT PROMOTER. <!-- s:idea: -->:idea:<!-- s:idea: -->

    seriously? when the concert which was held for diana was performed by some of the biggest names like Duran Duran, NElly Furtado, etc. did they feel like b-list celebs?
  • Im not sure, I cant imagine they would. But I think it got cancelled for various reasons. One being the celebrities felt like they were being badly treated, hasty planned, not much information, already cancelled once before in Vienna. Maybe they felt like they were being taken advantage of. The way Jermaine scheduled and informed us about the tribute show was very non informative and messy and the pressconference didnt really say much in my opinion.

    I also think it got cancelled because of Michael. Like someone else here said, Michael is a perfectionist and maybe he was controlling the show and he decided to put it down because it was tacky or it felt wrong.
  • What bothers me is that Jermaine was dealing with a company that clearly was in finacial trouble - not exaclty a wise decision! Bankruptcy isn't something that happens over night the world awarda media would've been in finicial trouble for a long time. I wonder if Jermaine was aware of this or, was he just caught in the cross-fire? Two cancelled tributes is a little embarrassing.
  • its so simple promote a tribute concert as this would keep michael/jacksons in the spotlight just as the news is dieing down annouce a tour/tribute so people start talking again and then he probs chose a company that couldnt pull it off so it didnt have to go ahead its the best excuse for no tribute i dont think a tribute is ever gonna take place its all talk to keep michael in the spotlight until hes ready to return,no one annouces a tribute concert until its all wrapped up and ready to rock,seems things are hotting up for michael again what with move it like michael tv series also theres a michael day on channel five and skyone on monday with all sorts of programmes about him.

    HERE YOU CAN READ IT ITS IN DUTCH SO SOMEBODY HAS TO TRANSLATE IT ..
  • Ok I translated the above article:

    ----
    Sat December 19 2009, 20:41
    Michael Jackson Tribute Concert canceled by our editorial staff
    AMSTERDAM - The memorial concert for Michael Jackson that his brother Jermaine wanted to organize, is not.

    World Media Awards, the organizer of the event, has pulled the plug on the project, reports PerezHilton.com.

    Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown and Nathalie Cole would cooperate with the event have been canceled, after the media would be treated as "B-stars'.

    The intention was that the winner of the SBS program on Move Like Michael Jackson would perform during the tribute concert, but there will be a different price for the place to come ...
    ----
  • So, several different versions to explain the cancellation...

    Again, the article I posted states different things:

    <!-- m -->http://www.singersroom.com/news/4954/Mi ... e-Canceled<!-- m -->

    Sources say the event's organizer, World Awards Media GmbH, closed down November 30 and has since been liquidated, making it impossible for original plans described by Jackson's brother, Jermaine, to move forward.

    "The company cannot sign any new contracts and will certainly not plan any new events," Martin Schneider, liquidator for the organizers, told Reuters Friday.

  • Sorry but this is really weird Jermaine has said to a Dutch tv program SBS6 that the Tribute Concert is not canceled and that the participatint members who are participating Move Like Michael Jackson have nothing to worry about <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: -->

    <!-- m -->http://www.shownieuws.tv/web/show/id=18 ... tid=126017<!-- m -->

    Good news for all participants to Move Like Jackson. Jermaine Jackson have let known to SBS that the tribute-concert for Michael Jackson will continue. This weekend did not come alarming rumors to that the commemoration concert in London would not go on coming year by and that therefore the winner of SBS-program Move Like Michael Jackson could act. The brother of Michael, Jermaine, know has let meanwhile that there nothing is correct of these rumors. In a declaration its management to SBS lets know that he looks out to the winner who will act during the event. More details concerning the concert will be made in the new year.

    I think he is just saying that so people will still come to the show <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
    But have you read it? Some people say move like michael or what ever from Kwalbert <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P --> will not be on TV!
  • Something tells me that it is not going to be Christmas Day...but that's just my intuition.
    Of course, I would be more than happy about it.
    But I think it's better for us to just let it surprise us someday.

    Nah... if hes alive then he would want to spend christmas with his kids in peace wouldnt he?? <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->

    Kwalbert's thing is another one, isn't he working on a musical or something: mijn naam is Michael?
