London tribute 2010 for Jackson cancelled

[hesouttamylife]

I will really be glad when Jermaine finally discovers that, hello :shock:  you are NOT A CONCERT PROMOTER. :idea:

[Crescendo]

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.

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?

[DontBelieveTheHype]

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.

Jermaine couldn't organise a p**s-up in a brewery

Ok I translated the above article:

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:

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.

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.

[MJJ1982]

Another dutch article (from de Telegraaf) says that Jermaine is looking forward to the tribute, but that he's being vague about the programm.

Well, just wait and see...

I think he is just saying that so people will still come to the show
But have you read it? Some people say move like michael or what ever from Kwalbert will not be on TV!

[XspeechlessX]

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?? :?

I saw today that the sbs6 and rtl4 programms will be shown, both on a saturday.

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