A Thriller of An Event!!!

onthewingsoflove · July 2011

Hi all, I just heard on the news here in LA that Michael's family is preparing for a benefit concert! They said the family included his mother, the brothers and Latoya. They did say what the concert was to benefit but I was so caught off guard that I don't remember what it would benefit. They did not give a date. They may have mentioned Janet but as I said I was so caught off guard that I don't remember hearing her name. And this is why I was caught off guard, they said that the family promises that it will be [size=18pt]"A Thriller of An Event!!! [/size] afraid/ I am getting ready for work now and if I hear any more I will post it later today. It's 7:20 a.m. LA time. Please those of you here in the states keep an ear open and post please! Thank You! Stay blessed! OnTheWingsOfLove

Update! Here is a link to a page that doesn't say much more than already said. It does say "The concert, which has been called a “thriller of a show” in a press release from the Jackson family, will benefit charities in both the U.S. and U.K. and more details will be revealed in a press conference in Los Angeles on Monday." That next week as the article is dated with today's date. />

Found this: /> So apparently the concert is October 8 at Cardiff Millenium Stadium...and will be broadcast around the world in 2D and 3D according to this:

Reminds me of the "Cardiff Giant" and the Barnum affair.

Especially interesting was it to observe the evolution of myth and legend.

Before long the matter entered into a comical phase. Barnum, King of Showmen, attempted to purchase the "giant," but in vain. He then had a copy made so nearly resembling the original that no one, save, possibly, an expert, could distinguish between them. This new statue was also exhibited as "the Cardiff Giant," and thenceforward the credit of the discovery waned.

To close these annals, I may add that recently the inventor of "the Cardiff Giant," Hull, being at the age of seventy-six years, apparently in his last illness, and anxious for the glory in history which comes from successful achievement, again gave to the press a full account of his part in the affair, confirming what he had previously stated, showing how he planned it, executed it, and realized a goodly sum for it; how Barnum wished to purchase it from him; and how, above all, he had his joke at the expense of those who, though they had managed to overcome him in argument, had finally been rendered ridiculous in the sight of the whole country.

Jermaine and Randy are against it. I can't understand this family anymore

Just copying and pasting it here in case it disappears: On Monday 25th July 2011, @jermjackson5 said: STATEMENT FROM JERMAINE & RANDY JACKSON RE THE MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE CONCERT July 25, 2011 Today's press conference in Los Angeles announced a tribute concert to Michael to be attended and supported by the Jackson Family. However, we want to make clear that this does not reflect the position of the entire family. While we wholeheartedly support the spirit of a tribute that honors our brother, we find it impossible to support an event that is due to take place during the criminal trial surrounding Michael's death. As everyone knows, those proceedings commence September 20th, and this "Michael Forever" concert takes place in Cardiff, Wales, UK,on October 8th. In light of this, we feel it is inappropriate to be involved with such an ill-timed event and its promoter, Global Live. Furthermore, the decision to proceed with this concert disrespects opinions and wishes expressed in the strongest terms to Global Live during conversations in April when this event was presented to the majority of the family as an idea already in its advanced stages. There will come a time and place for an amazing and deserving tribute to Michael. But we feel that the most important tribute we can give to our brother at this time is to seek justice in his name. JERMAINE JACKSON & RANDY JACKSON

_Anna_ · July 2011

I have in mind the passion that BACK defended Mrs. Katherine with, and his words that said "Have you ever heard the words 'mother knows best? They are words to live by". And now Jermaine and randy oppose something that Mrs. Katherine initiated. I simply don't understand and don't know anymore who is the money hungry in this family.

The alleged tribute would be fake because MJ isn't dead. A fake tribute to a fake death is not a fraud. I bet it never happens in any case. But regardless, it's a Barnum line I was quoting here, feel free to assign your own definition.

2good2btrue · July 2011

I would be more worried if they aall agreed, and the tribute went ahead. Otherwise, we would presume he was really dead. IMO. Could this just be another delay tactic?? Maybe MJ's not ready yet ??

Yes, here is another article regarding the press conference: Michael Jackson's Family Plans Concert Talent Lineup Remains A Secret; Some Object To Plans By Alan Duke CNN POSTED: 10:49 am EDT July 25, 2011 UPDATED: 9:45 pm EDT July 25, 2011 LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Michael Jackson's mother and four of his siblings announced Monday a tribute concert for the late pop singer to be held in Wales in October, but the lineup for talent is still a secret. Brothers Marlon, Tito and Jackie, sister La Toya and family matriarch Katherine Jackson attended the "Michael Forever The Tribute Concert" announcement at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Monday morning. But the announcement exposed a major rift among members of the Jackson family, especially with Jackson brothers Jermaine and Randy, who did not attend the news conference. They objected to the show because it's scheduled to happen during the criminal trial of the doctor accused in Michael Jackson's death. "We want to make clear that this does not reflect the position of the entire family," the two brothers said in a joint statement. "While we wholeheartedly support the spirit of a tribute that honors our brother, we find it impossible to support an event that is due to take place during the criminal trial surrounding Michael's death," they said. While the head of the British company promoting the show, Global Events Live, hinted it could include a Jackson brothers reunion, the statement from Jermaine and Randy Jackson on Monday indicated that would not happen. "In light of this, we feel it is inappropriate to be involved with such an ill-timed event and its promoter, Global Live," Randy and Jermaine Jackson said. Their statement said the idea of the October concert was presented to the entire family in April "as an idea already in its advanced stages." The decision to go ahead with it "disrespects opinions and wishes expressed in the strongest terms" by some members of the Jackson family, they said. La Toya Jackson said the "tribute will be something that's spectacular" and is "far, far, well overdue.' The Jacksons' mother called it "a show fit for a king," "If my son were here today, he would feel the same way," Katherine Jackson said. Executors for the late pop singer's estate were unaware of the planned tribute, estate spokesman Jim Bates told CNN. "The estate has not been contacted and is not involved with Global Live Events in the UK tribute concert announced today," he said. The show will "feature the world's most amazing music performers," according to the head of British promoter Global Live. The roster will be revealed online one act at a time over the next two weeks, starting Tuesday, Chris Hunt said. All profits from the show would go to several U.S. and British charities, including a cancer group created by the prince of Wales, Hunt said. The October 8 show, in the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, Wales, would be at least four hours long, Hunt said. The venue will seat up to 75,000 people, he said. "I know my brother would be very, very proud to see all the artists that he admired and respected so much coming together for this event," Tito Jackson said. Hunt presented the Jackson family with a $100,000 check that will go to a trust fund for Michael Jackson's three children, which they can access when they turn 21. The children, Katherine Jackson and unidentified charities are the sole beneficiaries of Jackson's wealthy estate. Read more:

Between the concert and the trail, I would cast my vote that neither one of them will occur on October 8th. If I remember right, Anna Nicole Smith's trial of her suppliers began 3 years after her death (2007) in August 2010, and she was actually dead! Once again we are in a wait and see mode! I take my hat off to the Jackson clan!! They are all playing their roles to the tee! Oscars for all of you!! ;D Stay Blessed! OnTheWingsOfLove

is true and it is assumed that at that date the trial must have already begun and Jackson will be singing and dancing

if there is another delay .... 8)

Has this video been posted already? I didn't see it. Lots of cool things to disect! I can't even move around much. It's taking about 1 minute for every click to any page here, today for me.

bec · July 2011

No one said the press conference didn't happen. I said it was fake... and it may well be... as in, it really did take place, but it's to announce something they know will never happen and it only exists to create clues and controversy. There will be no tribute, in my opinion; ultimately it will be canceled for some reason or another... probably due to copyright claim by the estate... because this is part of the script. This is all for show and dramatic effect. So yes... I believe it was a fake press conference.

Andrea · July 2011

Amy Winehouse's death (July 23) to October 8 is 77 days. Weird, right?

onthewingsoflove · July 2011

As you said MJONMIND there are some things to notice in that video! Amazing! I did notice that LaToya said, "Michael [blink]is[/blink] an entertainer" not was an entertainer. And the guy Chris Hunt put much emphasis on the song "Got To Be There." And the tag lines says, "Just when you thought that was it" lines up very well with Jermaine's statement at the This Is It premiere, "But this is not really it!" Loving it! Again I say, Amazing! No one can convince me that this hoax has not been in the planning for years and years! That's a parcel of swamp land that I'm not buying!!

I agree...."FOR THE FANS" and when the "stars all align"... afraid/ afraid/ What's that about.???? That's supposed to happen on Dec 21, 2012... Thriller has been the theme since the start, and this confirms it...Also, just pointing out the unsual choice of clothing with LaToya and Katherine........ The theme is the leaf patterns again, and very Michaelish......

use_your_illusion · July 2011

Thanks for the vid MJonmind...when KJ was talking Latoya's expression was it bit weird to me, I've never really seen that expression before...anyway I really don't think that this tribute will happen, but does anyone know if the Elvis tribute went ahead, when they had one back then?

A Thriller of An Event!!!
