Maybe thye're serious...
You know like now the most people think Michael is dead and they will just do money makin show....
But I have a feeling that Michael will com back this year and this will be one of his big shows next year
Oh c'mon guy! MJ IS DEAD, Cirque du Soleil will mount a SHOW and nothing else!
Yes.
michangelo & Cameron, if you both feel Mike is dead, then I think you landed at the wrong website.
HOAX: A hoax is a deliberate attempt to deceive or trick people into believing or accepting something which the hoaxer (the person or group creating the hoax) knows is false.
Please refrain from making comments without argumentation like yours on this hoax website.
Yes.. my ass! You think he is dead but you write on an hoax website! Wow.... <!-- s:!: -->:!:<!-- s:!: -->
We can bet thousands o $ or €, that MJ comeback or no, he will not be in this show.
And you don't have to be rude, Michael would not agree on that. And I have to tell you that I'm a beLIEver, but in this website there is also people who don't believe, and people who are 50%.
If MJ makes this hoax, it's for open our eyes, spend the truth. He not does that for marketing or artistic purpose, so I don't think he has a lot of shows planned. <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
Cirque Du Soleil did the same thing with Elvis and Beatles too. So I don't know if this is a comeback for Michael. But it can be. There's a connection btw Cirque and Criss Angel and Michael. So we will wait and see.
at least August 09.
I agree with the marketing purposes; Michael Jackson means
$$$$$ right now, with or without a hoax, and they are BETTING
on it. <!-- s:geek: -->:geek:<!-- s:geek: -->
Non Believers have the same right of Believers to come here and say their opinion. So please, don't begin to be rude. You can hear all opinions for each and everyone here without getting excited.
I can tell you MJ will not be back on this show. It's not a hoax for MJ the singer, it's a hoax for MJ the Man, maybe MJ the film maker. He has no interest to comeback doing dance and sing.
So I tell you don't believe evrything you read from dishonest companies.

Hi Cameron, Believers can be quite violent and harassing. Do you remember the old forum?
My thoughts <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
"We came to an agreement with Michael Jackson's estate to create and produce two shows," Cirque du Soleil President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel Lamarre revealed to MTV News. "One show is going to be an arena show at the end of 2011 and will tour for one year in North America and then tour around the world for many years to come. At the end of 2012, we'll also open a permanent show in Las Vegas."
The overall effort is referred to only as the "Michael Jackson projects" for the time being, and as anyone who has seen such Cirque shows as "Ka," "Love" or "Viva Elvis" will tell you, the company isn't lacking when it comes to production spectacle. The estate of Michael Jackson and Cirque du Soleil will each own 50 percent of the projects, sharing equally in the cost of creating, developing, building and producing the shows; the Michael Jackson estate will also receive royalty payments for the King of Pop's music.
"The entire catalog is open to us ... we don't know [which songs we'll use] yet, but obviously all of the people will be looking for the big hits of Michael Jackson; we don't want to avoid that," Lamarre said of plans to incorporate not only classics like "Thriller," but also never-before-released tunes. "We want to make sure that we will meet musical expectations from the fans. At the same time, [Michael Jackson estate executors] John McClain and John Branca are also working on a new release that they want to make with Sony Music — and that could also be a part of our new shows.
"There will be two different approaches," he explained of the distinction between the MJ/Cirque shows. "For the arena show, there will be a simulation of a concert of Michael Jackson, and we will use some technology to make sure that people feel and see the presence of Michael Jackson.
"The new technology that we want to bring to [the permanent] Vegas [show] will be more theatrical," he said, adding that although the show doesn't have a home yet, it will be in one of the MGM Mirage (Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Monte Carlo) hotels, which will likely be retrofitted with Michael Jackson-themed elements within its hotel and casino. "They will see Vegas become the home of Michael Jackson and people will come from all over the world to experience the uniqueness of the technology that we want to bring there."
Some might wonder how anyone could hope to revive such a unique performer onstage — Lamarre said the answer is to simply bring back the man himself.
"I think we can use some 3-D technologies and hologram technologies to allow people to see Michael Jackson onstage," he said of Cirque's intriguing idea to put Michael alongside the living, breathing Cirque performers. "If you are an MJ fan, you want to see him, and we have to find the best, most innovative way to bring Michael onstage."
As for the plot or theme of either show, Lamarre said, "We're not there in terms of the creative process, but normally we don't like to be literal," shooting down any notion that the show would play like a biopic or narrative about MJ's life and death. "I would like to think it would be more of a theatrical tribute to Michael. We don't necessarily think of chronology or story lines or anything. It will be more of an extravaganza-type of show, like Michael used to do."
I read about this on Michael's web site <!-- m -->http://www.michaeljackson.com/us/news<!-- m -->
By the way, do not forget, that Michael's family (Michael) gets more than half of the profit from anything related to Michael Jackson: tributes, CDs, DVDs, clothing, anything that being sold goes to Michael....children, guardian Katherine, besides monthly pay.
Since Michael is out of visible game, he needs business go on for money, right? If there is no business, no profit without involving others to work for him, so those who do the work must get paid as well. Right?
Why some people comment that they make money from his "death". People who do something to bring profit to Michael, must get paid, no matter how much, it depens on a contract. I am sure, estate takes care to get enough % of the profit to MJ. I think Michael will live perform on that concert.
Yes! <!-- s
No. You don't. Admin told you to stand the fuck down so stand the fuck down. Oh and your little dog too.
I'm a Quebecer as well, nice to meet you. <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
No M. Laliberté certainly does not need money, didn't he pay I dont know how many millions to take a "ride" on a space shuttel? It was a lot of money, everyone was talking about it. Surely you must know about this as well, right?

Michael Jackson Reality Show Might Help Find Cirque Du Soleil Choreographer
'There is a huge appetite for people that want to participate in this Michael Jackson tribute,' Cirque CEO Daniel Lamarre says.
BEVERLY HILLS, California — By now, you may have heard that Cirque du Soleil has unveiled an ambitious plan to bring Michael Jackson back for a series of high-profile stage shows in Las Vegas and beyond. But what you might not know is that these plans will also take the King of Pop off the stage and into everything from nightclubs to restaurants to ... a reality show?
"There's not a lack of creativity around the table," grinned Cirque President and CEO Daniel Lamarre when we sat down with him on Tuesday (April 20). "Between [Michael Jackson estate co-executors] John McClain and John Branca and all the creative team at Cirque du Soleil, we're already bouncing a lot of new ideas around.
"This joint venture is not only for those two shows, but for all of the other initiatives that we can develop together," he added. "We are already working on the concept of nightclubs, restaurants and other experiences and other types of content that we can develop on the brand of Michael Jackson."
One of the leading concepts is a reality TV show that Lamarre hopes to launch by the end of this year. He describes it as a chance to combine television's two hottest shows, "American Idol" and "Dancing With the Stars," with the distinctive style of the King of Pop.
"John McClain came to us with the idea," he said of the yet-untitled program, which would have a national audience assisting as they built the Cirque stage shows. "We would pick the best choreographer that there is in the world to work on [our stage] show, but also use them in a reality show in order to find a new, cutting-edge choreographer that could join the team."
The reality show would also audition dancers for the MJ shows, with a certain number of the top contestants landing a Cirque gig. "That could be an exciting moment," Lamarre said of the show. "Right now there is a huge appetite for people that want to participate in this Michael Jackson tribute."
The Michael Jackson estate and Cirque du Soleil are spearheading the Michael Jackson projects with MGM Mirage, the gaming company that owns such Vegas hotels as Excalibur, Luxor, MGM Grand, Monte Carlo and more. Lamarre said that one of the MGM Mirage hotels will host the Las Vegas Michael Jackson/ Cirque show, and the venture's press release mentions that "special lifestyle projects including a nightclub" will be developed.
"We are exploring all of those opportunities right now," Lamarre offered. "We're at the early stages of those ideas. But we want to make sure that all the fans around the world that want to celebrate Michael Jackson have an opportunity to do it through the experiences we will bring to them."
But if those Michael Jackson-themed restaurants become a reality, Lamarre did make us one key promise: They won't include moonwalking waiters attempting to balance food trays.
"I don't think anybody can do it the way Michael Jackson was doing it," he laughed.
