Michael Jackson News / Michael Jackson's Vision Videos & more...

« on: November 03, 2010, 12:22:20 PM »

Being out of the loop for quite a while on this forum, I apologize if this idea is posted elsewhere, but I felt this the best place to post. I think all the "crazy" things have calmed down a bit and now the vision of Michael can start to develop.

I noticed today on Michael Jackson's website there is a new image called Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour by Cirque Du Soleil set for 2011. And there are Michael Jackson's Vision Videos Promos on the homepage.

At the very bottom of the page there is this description, "Instead of a traditional flat packaging cover, Michael Jackson’s Vision comes with a unique multi-frame motion cover that brings the packaging to life right in your hands! The advanced-motion lenticular cover features 18 of the most iconic moves from this collection and brings the whole package to new level of interactivity that represents the forward-thinking creativity of the short films within."

I put in bold the part that caught my eye "forward-thinking creativity". The reason I feel this important is the it's a subtle way of introducing Michael Jackson's vision for the future. I had post an interview he gave a year before his "death" where he said he was wanting to do films and that he had a lot planned for it.

I don't think we are going to get Michael to just appear and say he's alive. He was a fan of magic & illusion, and used a lot of ground-breaking entertaining techniques to get his message across for decades. I think we will continue to see his genius, but now from behind the scenes, using his library of songs, short films, etc.. that will be all newly packaged to us, but all of it he's been creating for years for this moment and beyond.

And finally (for now) there is another Michael Jackson vision being promoted, the interactive video game called the Michael Jackson Experience.

Anyone with their opinions about this please comment!

Michael Jackson News / is it possible?

« on: February 15, 2010, 09:39:56 PM »

This thought just came to me, so please understand that I'm just going with it for now until I can develop it further if necessary.

In regards to the different trails, or what we sometimes call clues, we've been led on throughout this hoax...is it possible that MJ knew all along there would be a lot of people who would try to capitalize on his "death" and therefore he let things go as is instead of planning EVERYTHING out like we have thought? The reason I say this is because some people we heard from months ago aren't really heard from anymore. Could it be that their 15 minutes of fame are up and/or they got what they wanted from MJ's death...

Now MJ can do what he really needs to do to have his message heard without these distractions? It's like he's realizing who his true friends are. I'm sure all of us at some point wonder who would really care if we died; or we have wondered what it would be like to be at our own funeral...can't blame MJ for doing it...

Time can heal wounds and death can also reveal all the bad rumors and lies, so finally the good that we all remember about MJ can be let back in. He is missed more and more everyday, and the memory of him is so positive now on award shows, etc... It's like the horrible gossip about him is dying instead of MJ. He is becoming stronger in our memory and although it is painful for us fans that we can't see him physically, we are getting a big dose of reality.

I do believe there are things that he planned and there is a final mission/message to the discrepancies in the whole death story. For as long as it took for the media/people to ruin MJ's life, it will be awhile for the fans and MJ to undo it. So we all need to remain patient and make sure we stay on the right trail and not veer off to follow the wrong people who are only out there for their 15 minutes of fame. I think we are figuring those people out!

Michael Jackson News / Grammy Awards behind the scenes...

« on: February 02, 2010, 01:11:37 PM »

As we are putting together clues from the actual Grammy Awards performances, I want to dig a little deeper to see what is behind the scenes since we are all thinking this is Michael's doing only.

I have to admit I am confused from what I've been finding and have some questions first:

Questions:
1. WHO is officially in charge of setting up the Michael tribute?
2. WHO has the rights to use his song and show his creation of Earth Song in 3D?  
3. HOW is this person/people sure that this is really sending the correct message of Michael?
4. And WHO chose Celine, Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Smokey, Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie to present/sing the tribute?

Explanation:
I read a Business Week article dated June 25, 2009 at 10:24PM EST that is headlined as Settling Michael Jackson's Estate. Side note: this article was quickly put out there wasn't it?

In it I read two names that have helped Michael recently in his money problems...Tom Barrack, Chairman of Colony Capital, LLC and Philip Anschutz, Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), owner of 02 Arena, owner of Regal Cinemas, and owner of Staples Center where Grammy Awards were!!!

I looked on the Colony Capital website and they are investors in the Neverland Ranch (shown and known as 1224 LLC on the site).

Here is the article on Philip Anschutz that I find a LOT of interesting information: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

HIGHLIGHTS of a few of the statements:
No matter what tragedy befalls his core asset, it seems Anschutz has figured out how to continue monetizing Michael.
AEG was so committed to keeping the event (concerts) on track, it paid Dr. Conrad Murray to act as the singer's personal physician
 AEG, not so incidentally, owns the Staples Center. Two AEG Live executives, Randy Phillips and Paul Gongaware, are listed as producers on the film as well.

Luckily for Anschutz, he can probably recoup some lost funds (from concerts) by distributing the film (TII) to his Regal theaters (ensured that it will be family-friendly since he has a stake in its creation) and promoting it through any of his newspaper, magazine, or Web holdings

My confusion is that are we being strung along by Philip Anschutz? or is Michael hoaxing them? or is Michael working with him? I am not sure, but something doesn't sit right with this new information. I can't imagine Michael working with a man like Anschutz who is said in the article to be a supporter of Conservative causes that include limiting the rights of gays and lesbians and promoting "traditional" family values in entertainment and media.

Michael definitely loves his family so I can see him liking the promotion of family values and it would make sense then as to why his children accepted his award, but to limit rights to anyone doesn't sound like something Michael would agree with. But I could be wrong in that aspect of Michael's beliefs. I believe he preaches LOVE to all.

Any additional thoughts?
