Michael Jackson Has Earned $72 Million Since Death

Atta boy Michael..

🙂

This is good news for the estate and I hope the debts will be erased soon but... ok, it's Halloween ... it's creepy how even dead people get a ranking like this.

Thanks CNN/Larry for this new blog for us to stay together 🙂

I can't make that kinda money and I'm alive..

OOHHH wait, so are you!

My bad!

🙂

hahahahahahahaha

There is still time till the end of the year for Michael to surpass YSL. The movie is still running and the DVD sales have not even started yet – hopefully there will be one under every X-mas tree.

Additionally I've seen on Amazon that there is a series of 3 DVDs with Michael's interviews (2 discs) and store sightings (1 DVD) coming out in the middle of November. I don't know how much of the profits from these will go to MJ's estate but there will surely be something.

I'm waiting impatiently for Michael Jackson clothing line to launch – he was the prettiest and the most stylish celebrity ever.

I hope that Micheals kids get most of or all of that money. I feel that Micheal's mother is a money grubber. The reason I say that is because look at her going through court trying to get her hands on all of the estate. When Micheal left that in his will for the estate to be controlled by the executors of his will. She needs to leave it as it is and where it stands!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent: Maybe now the press can stop talking about how broke Michael was and mind they own damm business. The media vultures will never have as much money as Michael Jackson. Period. Keepd dreaming.

LARRY, thanks for the new blog and I hope you heard our message loud and clear – we're not going to blog under negative articles even if we have to wait for the positive ones with over 1500 comments to take their sweet time to refresh.

Mila–me too- I loved Michael's style. He was so classy. Thanks for the info about the 3 DVDs.

the press can't stop talking about how broke Michael was
----------

Broke? Was he broke?

Seems a lot of people don't think he was, they all sue the estate! lol

Luda
Of course he wasn't broke–You know how they love to make up negative comments when it comes to Michael; maybe now they will shut the hell up.

"Broke" is a very ambigious word in the USA anayway 🙂

Of COURSE Michael was NOT broke..

Michael is a very smart buisness man. He knows what he is doing.

He left Sony owning half of them..

He is no dummy when it comes to money!

Hi Mila: Your post at 8:45 pm

LARRY, thanks for the new blog and I hope you heard our message loud and clear – we're not going to blog under negative articles.
_______________________________________________
If I may rebute your statement please. IMO, I don't think CNN, LKL cares if people blog on negative articles. Due to the fact that numerous people in this world have different opinions of MJ, CNN, LKL covers the beliefs of all. They are versatile and not biased in their topics.

Most importantly, CNN, LKL has been bringing MJ topics to us daily (sometimes 2 & 3 topics) for MJ fan's to comment on. CNN, LKL does not have to make this extra effort for the fans. Personally, I am extremely grateful and appreciative that CNN, LKL has gone this extra mile within their organization for MJ fans. If we continually complain, they can easily stop and this site will be the end for the faithful bloggers on this site.

Hi billiejean:

I hope your day is going great. Just to clarify that Sony is a mega huge company with many divisions throughout the world. MJ does not own half of Sony. MJ currently owns 25% of the Song/ATV Catalogues only. Thank you.

correction to above. Sony/ATV Catalogues. Spelling correction.

Excellent LArry thanks for the positive.
And as some of the best fans, we will continue to make sure he earns more than anyone ever has.
RIP Michael as MMJ said we will take it from here.

Girls,
I saw the movie again today and I love it even more. I guess I'll keep going.

Did any of you thought they saw Prince Michael in the audience – sitting at one of the tables – while Michael was singing "I'll Be There" ?
I saw someone who looked very much like him but I can't be certain because they showed him for only a brief moment and that amongst other people.

One more thing – I kept getting a feeling like Michael was kind of apologetic – maybe that's his professionalism speaking but I couldn't understand why he felt he needed to explain himself and even defend himself saying he's trying preserve his voice and also at the J5 song where he wasn't comfortable with his inner ears volume. It was heart-breaking to hear him say "it feels like someone is trying to put their fist through my ear".

A Musing on Michael and This Is It

Shaking his head, one of the guitarists stated in almost disbelief…“It’s remarkable…genius stuff going on here…” I bowed my head for just a moment, tears dripping from my eyes, probably ruining my new silk blouse, but I did not really care, because at that point in the movie I knew I was experiencing a very rare and intimate look into the entertainment world of a music phenomenon, a real modern day genius. With all the soulful preparation I had put myself through to be able to even walk into the theater, I was still unprepared for the journey I took with Michael on October 29. It is a mystery how he was able to take me to a place I cannot describe, for I do not know where I went and I do not know how I got there, but once there my emotions were taken full circle leaving me suspended craving more of what he was giving. This was only a rehearsal; this was a man fine tuning his art, his craft embodied in the music, electrifying me and carrying me to euphoria. It felt dangerous and safe at the same time. But it felt that way only in that space in time. Whatever I had thought of Michael Jackson before this night, he became something more. Much more. I have poured over his concerts becoming a part of Michael's admirers, willingly being lured to him while he allowed the music to captivate, manipulating every fabric of his body with the dance and seductively incorporating stillness and silence for dramatic pause, pulling us further into his world. At 50, Michael was the “it” of This Is It, still able to use all his weapons, and use them very effectively. I saw what Michael wanted me to see; if I saw deeper into the man and who he was at that moment in time it was blurred by the fact that even a sensible and older woman could be held spellbound by Michael Jackson for two hours in a theater and the amount of time it took for the rush of adrenaline to leave my body. Last night was a mystery. Michael was a mystery and though Michael alluded to his mystical or supernatural power often, even he did not understand it. If he had unraveled this thread of his being maybe he would still be here with us; but would he have been the same caliber of entertainer, humanitarian or person? We will never know ... What I do know is that I was given a gift last night to have a glimpse of a genius ... yes, there was something remarkable going on there at those rehearsals.

For Jason and Grant,
I DO believe in ghosts and the supernatural.

My dad died in 1999 – and I had to go back to the house a few days after his death. I could feel him follow me up the stairs – the house was empty, my mother was with friends, it was a cold and rainy April day in Virginia. I was looking for something to do with the Will and knew – just knew he was with me. I heard and felt him around me, encompassing me. He led me directly to what I was looking for on his desk in his study. The air was humid and full – and I suddenly had to go run to the restroom.....it should have been creepy but it wasn't, I knew it was my father.

Just wanted to post what I thought of the TII film here as well 🙂
-------------------
gigi October 30th, 2009 6:06 pm ET
Well, I just got back from viewing TII. It is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have read that a few people felt sad and I thought I would be as well. But I didn't have a sense of sadness, cried or anything like that. I went with my dad and we stayed until the cleaning crew came in. When the lights came up I looked at my dad and he said "he is the best". My dad said he got a little emotional when Michael sang "I'll Be There". My dad said it reminded him of the J5 days

My favorite parts were where Michael is discussing the right tempo for the "The Way You Make Me Feel" song, with Bearden. I looooved Earth Song his voice is so beautiful on this song, this has always been one of my favs. The images are so beautiful in this song as well.

Billie Jean was unbelievable, the singing and that move Michael throw down at the end, I just had the biggest grin on my face. It was so funny after Michael finished singing Billie Jean he said, "At least we get a feel for it". I loved the whole Thriller sequence and at the end when the beat of Threatened started playing, and Michael started throwin' down his dance moves I really started dancing in my seat. Seriously I was tappin' my foot and boppin' my head, I thought I was going to throw my neck out I just love that beat and the base in that song. The Smooth Criminal piece with the old films was great as well. I love that movie Gilda, I love watching classic black and white films. One of my favorite channels to watch is TCM.

I as far as how Michael looks in the film. I did see him as skinny but, I didn't see an anorexic, sunken in face, skeleton of a man by any means. I didn't see that even in the pictures and previews before hand. And I was looking really hard and wide eyed and I just did not see a sickly/out of it looking person.

I remember reading a post from TXmom and she commented on the whole "let simmer" moment and the exchange between Michael and the "music guy".

I didn't get a feeling of a not nice/firm tone or him implying anything towards Michael from the "music guy". I know she didn't know his name, but the "music guy" TXmom was referring to is Michael Bearden.

Anyway, I really did enjoy seeing what Michael was working on and seeing his creative process. As far as if Michael wanted this footage to be seen or not seen, which I can't answer. But I really don't see what the big deal is. I mean Michael showed rehearsals and making of things before. Like the behind scenes look of his Dangerous music videos, the making of Thriller, the making of Scream, Ghost all which I have. The footage of TII just feels like all the other behind the scenes footage that He had released before, IMO

I definitely did notice that Tohme Tohme person listed in the credits, which is kind of creepy.

The only part and please please don't read anything into this. At the very beginning when all the dancers are talking about auditioning and get a chance to work with Michael. It's hard to explain, but the lighting and just the way it looked to me it felt sort of movie-ish. I don't know its hard for me to explain it in words, it just looked strange to me. I don't know anyway.

I thought I would have a sense of sadness after watching the film, but in all honestly I really don't. I loved every single moment. All in all the footage is wonderful. Just Michael being his down to earth self

Now we just need Justice for Michael! He's kids are constantly in my prayers.

I Absolutely believe in ghost. I've always been very reluctant to say anything about it. On 2 seperate occassions, I've seen ghost while with others that saw the exact same thing, so we knew we weren't crazy, 3 times altogether.

Then there was the 1 time I was alone. This ghost was not nice, actually grabbed me and push me around and I'm a 245 lbs. man. It frightened me so badly, I didn't settle down for more than a week and never revealed the incident to a single soul. Yes, I'm sure they exist.

Susan,
I don't think LKL is copying articles from all kinds of tabloids as a favor to us fans. It's all for this little square on the right that changes the ads and which price must be going up by the minutes with the amount of comments we're putting in here.

We're giving them good business and the least they can do for us and Michael is be respectful and not give publicity to articles in tabloids which we would have never bothered to open otherwise.

Based on the comments under the blog I was refering to (the one about the leaked autopsy photo) I am confident that this was not my opinion alone – a lot of people agreed the topic of the article was disgusting to have on LKL.

If you've observed the blog on days where we have more than 1 blog there is a tendency to blog under the positive ones instead of the negative ones.
I personally do this consciously and I think we should all do the same – for Michael's memory.

Thank you LKL for this new blog that recognizes Michael in a more positive light. I would rather he not have been a product or entity, but we do not get to choose these things. He used his gifts to their fullest and blessed countless lives with his God given talent. May you rest in peace, Michael. You finished the race well.

I think it is horribly sad that we are discussing the earnings potential of a deceased Michael Jackson. It is tragic that he is no longer here with his children, family and fans. While it is beneficial to his children that his estate is earning money, it remains that his death was a homicide and to this day, we have no official report on the status of the investigation and if charges will be forthcoming. How do we celebrate his status as a top earner among dead celebrities when his homicide continues to be an open case and no one has been arrested?

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL
LOVE LIVES FOREVER

@Mila

I concur about the blogs to post on...I have waited all day to post and finally posted on the more negative one, but immediately did a cut and paste when I saw this one. Thank you for your very good explanation of why and that we do this in respect of Michael...a kind and decent person.

Hi all, I haven't been on here lately, but was pretty regular before I started working tons. But I still read the blogs a lot. I just had to tell someone who cares and is a Michael fan, that I'm going to the TII movie at 9:30 in 3 hours Yahoo!!! This is very exciting news for me and here's why. I live in a pretty small town in Canada. I was told we wouldn't be getting it in my town, or even in towns with in 2 hours north or south of me. I would have driven with a friend in a day this far to see it. So I was trying to convince my husband to drive to Vancouver which is 5 hours thru a mountain pass and snow and we would have had to spend a night there too. He didn't want to do this and wanted me to wait until its out on DVD. I was still trying to convince him to do this...then he came home from work today and said he heard it on the radio that it was coming to my town Vernon BC. I didn't believe him, since the theatres had all said we wouldn't be getting it. I immediately looked it up and sure and behold we have it starting tonight!!! I convinced a girlfriend who likes Michael but is not a huge fan ( but saw him when she was 20). Don't know why she's not a fan after seeing him. She loves his music though. Can't wait. I've read all the great reviews and I really really love Michael for the beautiful man he is and for being an absolute genius. I listen to his music everyday really and watch his dvd's pretty well every day. I feel so good inside and can't wait to see him.

Michael is awesome .... Long Live the King!

H i Larry, I definitely believe in ghosts. I had one in my home in Vancouver, Washington.First experience was turning wall switch off as I was vacuuming. Another time he was upstairs sitting at my daughters drum set, We could see the outline of him. Then he was going out through a window. I did not recognise him.My saint bernard was afraid to go upstairs, He would get half way up and the hair would stand up and he would wimper.It was quite an experience I'll never forget.We didn't stay there long.

Did anyone see Gayle King's interview on Joy Behar's show last night. She had Frank Dileo on at the same time. It was a great interview with both. Gayle is Oprah's best friend. I felt both her and Frank were genuine and positive about Michael and felt good about what they said.

@Lori

Thank you for your very excellent post on why, oh why have no charges been forthcoming in the death of Michael? We are not celebrating, Lori, and never will. A good and decent man died at the hands of another. That is wrong and justice must be served. I do think we were so very shocked at the leaked autopsy photo aritcle, that sometimes we jump too hastily on that which looks positive for Michael. We are like Pavlov's dogs...trained to know the media will report negative when it comes to Michael so that we embrace anything that is the least bit positive. We, of course, know that Michael and anything he touched will be loved forever. Thank you for keeping us focused though that a man died and did not have to.

I never post under the negative reports and try to only offer my opinions that are positive and will help to carry on the great man and legend that Michael is. I am an educated woman and want others to see that Michael has many normal, loving, intelligent fans, who appreciate him for his charity, humility and the genius artists he was. I believe this is what he would want and this is what he deserves.

Jessica
You will absolutlely love it. Glad you are able to see it.

@VICTORIA-
What an inspiring post, Victoria. Your most brillant line "It felt dangerous and safe at the same time". That was our Michael- always pushing his limits into exingency then curiously reappearing unscathed. Although I have yet to see This is It just yeat, I am now more hungry for this magic more than anything else. Yes, what a gift he is. I hope many still remember he is still a gift; and he shall never lose his value.
MMJ H MJJ xoxo

On Joy's show they said Michael is the third wealthiest estate of a famous celebrity who has passed away. I want him to become be at the top, for his children and for him. I want him (his spirit) to know that he was loved and that his music will live forever and that the world absolutely loves him , his music and dance. I truly believe he is watching from above and sees the good that is coming from his music.

Quotes from Fortune Magazine, New York dated Oct. 23, 2009:

"Two years ago Jackson was headed for insolvency, a consequence of having barely worked in nearly a decade. The deal with Colony and Jackson's decision to stage a series of comeback concerts, were his way out from under debts that had grown from $90 million a decade ago to around $435 million today."

"Frank DiLeo, Jackson's manager during his heyday, still can't believe the star let it all pile up. I want to wake him up and slap him, he says."

Lori
You are so right!!! Michael was murdered and he needs to get justice. I got sidetracked for a minute.

To: CNN, LKL

I noticed you took my swear words out of my comment at 9:02 a.m. Okay, I've learned my lesson. I'll be more careful in the future.
Thank you.

MMJ–Lori, VictoriaJ-hello

With mixed feelings...I am glad that the estate is going to benefit from all the sales and money earned. I just feel bad that it is all being done after June 25. I watch TII on Wednesday and I am going back tomorrow and taking two people with me. I know I missed so much the first time I went because I spent the almost two hour just focused on Michael and nothing else. Maybe the second time around I will be able to pay attention to the surroundings around him. If I find that I still missed seeing every aspect of the film because of him...I will go back again and again.

I am sorry but do any of you believe that maybe Micheal commited suicide? Or is everyone in denial and think he wouldn't do that? I mean don't get me wrong I grew up listening to Micheal and followed his singing career, but you can't ignore the comment he made to Lisa Presley about having the same fate as her father Elvis Presley! He also made that same comment to someone else. Who's not to say that Micheal didn't have the doctor help him commit suicide. Don't be nieve and think it couldn't happen!!!!!!!!!!! I mean look at what almost everyone in society did to him. Also not to mention the people who was after money from him. Them people and the tabloids made his life feel like HELL!!!!!!!!!!!

A big reason for Michael's financial problems was his mortgage with Fortress Investments who bought over his debt from Bank of America and restructured it so that they can drive him into even deeper debt. It seems that this company was famous for being a predator on the mortgage foreclosure markets.

@Katrina

Or maybe he just decided to get away from it all, because of all the things he went through.

@Katrina,Ohio, Maybe his fate was going to end up like Elvis, ending it all with FAKING YOUR DEATH.

@MourningMJ
I had a difficult time putting into words my experience. So many great reviews of what transpires in the film, numerous good and positive insights into Michael, his management skills and certainly excellent reviews on his musical prowessness. I was at a lost as to how to express myself. I was so overcome with emotion and decided to journal this morning which I often do with something very special. In the end, I used that entry in my journal. It's very personal, but many of you have come to know my heart. So, it was dangerous to do, but it felt safe at the same time. I look forward to learning of your views of your time with Michael on Sunday.

@ Tinkerbell, Linda, Lori & Mila

Tinkerbell...well said..hahahahaha

Everyone have a great evening?

MICHAEL JACKSON is “THE MASTER”

Good evening everyone..

.Hows everyone doing on this fine evening?

Michael *Love You More*

((( Hi Linda, Victoria, Lori )))

And of course, Hello to everyone on this forum posting positive thoughts of Michael..... xoxo

Tinkerbell if you have a problem with my opinion then that's you and everyone is entitled to their opinion thank you!!!!!!!

@LindaNY
Good Evening...thank you for your to the point comments. As you know, I do not have that gift, so I appreciate it when I see it others...

Lori – Justice For Michael
How do we celebrate his status as a top earner among dead celebrities when his homicide continues to be an open case and no one has been arrested?
______________________

I am not celebrating that his is the top earner but rather celebrating that people are proving that Michael is still the best and that he has not been forgotten. I have also not forgotten that his homicide is an open case. I have to have faith that the justice system in working hard to get justice for Michael. And that things are being put in place to get who ever was involved.

Katrina,
I think that there is no other person in this world who loved life more than Michael. In all the interviews where I've heard him talk about it he says "I don't want to die. I want to live forever", "I don't want to grow old", "The creator will go but his creation will live forever". "Let's face it – who wants mortality".

He may have had thoughts of suicide passing through his head at times – I've never heard him talk about it but there is a video of him talking to the author of "They Cage The Animals At Night" in which Michael is asking him whether he ever thought that it was not worth it (implying whether he ever thought of a suicide).

I don't think there is a chance that Michael could have even contemplated ending his life at the eve of his magnificent return, and orphanating both his children and his fans.

@Katrina,Ohio, No need to be rude I was trying to lighten the mood a little bit so it would not get kinda of crazy in here. That was kinda rude of you it is okay. I was just putting my opinion out there. Like I said no need to get rude or a little upset.

Katrina,Ohio

Still keeping your seat warm...

Katrina:
but you can't ignore the comment he made to Lisa Presley about having the same fate as her father
___________________________________
Elvis didn't commit suicide. I don't believe MJ committed suicide. I'm not in denial. MJ loved his children too much to do such a selfish thing as suicide. IMO>

OMG Victoria your writing is so bang on. That is how I feel everytime i see or hear Michael. Now I really can't wait to see the movie in 21/2 hours!!! You have touched on the essence and spirit of Michael. This is why his fans can't get enough of him and sense something magical and spiritual and something more that I personally can't explain but for sure FEEL . I am not great with words, but I FEEL AND GET IT with Michael. It surprises me how people just show up in my life that feel the connection with Michael. My little seamstress lady from England...one day I dropped off pants with her at her house and heard an MJ tune coming from the kitchen. I asked if it was a cd and she said just the radio. She went on to say that she had to go see the movie and that her husband loved him and that she felt sorry for him and thought he was such a sweet person. I never would have known she was a fan. Then a few minutes ago an acquaintenance of mine called from the ice rink, where she found out I was going to the movie in my small town that just got the movie. She was sooo excited and wants to go see it with me. I didn't even know she was a fan. Michael has sooo many fans , I just wish we could all hook up somehow and feel his L.O.V.E.

Sorry Tinkerbell that I got so offended unfortunately I am bipolar 1 and 2 so I have alot of moments. I wasn't aware I was bringing anyone into it I was just stating my opinion.

I said it once and I will say it again. Michael did not act or behave as if he was strung out/high on medications/drugs in the filmIf he had been taking all those meds he would of been acting/behaving a lot differently in the film.

@Katrina,Ohio, Okay but now that you are aware of it maybe next time you can just kinda of calm down and make sue you don't come off really rude.

With much love

Tinkerbell

Mila, I guess i'm not understanding then why did he make those comments to Lisa Presley and the other person? Please help me to understand.

Victoria J:

You compose your writings beautifully. Have you ever authored or published?

Katrina:

Thank you for bringing your questions to the blog. I noticed you apologized at the beginning of your comment. That was sweet and considerate to let people upfront know you weren't causing harm.

Thank you Susan 62509

Katrina,Ohio

Ok I said anything is possible but Michael's love for children his whole life is well known. So I can only imagine the enormous love he had for his ownchildren. They were his life,there is no way that Michael would have done something like that, knowing his children were going to be in the house. No way would he leave them so suddenly. NO WAY !

I want to let everyone know I have come from a very hard life like no other. Unfortunately what Micheal was being accused of I had to deal with myself as a teenager. So I do tend to say what I feel and sometimes it comes out wrong or mean without any intent to hurt anyone's feelings so I applologize!!!!!!!!!!!

There is absolutely no way he would do that.
1- He loved his children.
2- He loved life.

I say what I say because on numurous occasions I have tried to commit suicide myself. I to have a child, but that doesn't mean I don't love him. But my suicide attempts were because of my past. So I know all too well what Micheal was going through. Most times it get's very hard to bear that burden!!!!!!

@Gene - have you seen the This Is It movie? Come back and talk with us – miss you!. 🙂

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL
LOVE LIVES FOREVER

Marguerite.... 1. He loves his children & 2. He loves his life...
Fixed for ya... 😉 😀

@Katrina,Ohio, aww sweetie that is very sweet of you to open up to us something that is very personal. Just know that that's what Michael is all about. Love and caring for other people. I hope you feel better.

Love tinkerbell

Katrina,Ohio

Katrina:

Write from your heart. Do worry about how others interpret good, bad, or indifferent. People tend to analyze others writing. It's so much easier to talk in person to understand the emotions of the person which writing doesn't offer. Your feelings, questions and opinions are welcome here.

Example: 5 people can all go to the same movie or read a media article and all 5 can come away with a different opinion. That is what makes the world go around.

Thanks for your comment Tinkerbell but this will haunt me even after death. It has been with me everyday for 16 years.

Thanks Susan62509

@ Katrina

(HUG)

Now I have to figure out one day how I have to explain everything to my son. And hopefully he won't hate me. It's a very hard thing to have to deal with!!!!!

I don't know what you went through but I am sorry that you are still hurting so much. My prayer tonight will include you.

I was just watching clips from the TII movie rehearsal ... I am so amazed at Michael's dancing for a 50-yr old. He is such a natural dancer , I guess age doesn't affect your dancing. He must have been in good shape to be better than his younger back up dancers. No matter how natural or innate your moves, your body has to be able to move smoothly and gracefully,. I'm 48 and love dancing but I couldn't move like this and I exercise regularly. Michael continues to amaze me. I hope there are more footage released from the 100 hours of rehearsal tapes.

Hi fellow bloggers...

Love you Michael-Love lives forever ☆

Thank you still me just a new name.

Someone was asking about Sony make.believe, well here was what I found. By the way Sony make.believe is on the back of the This Is It cd.

Sony Global – Sony Global Headquarters
September 03, 2009 Sony Introduces "make.believe" Unified brand message signifies Sony's spirit of creativity and ability to turn ideas into reality
-----
A little further digging and I found out the make.believe part of Sony has to do with 3D. Here is what I found strange if you will notice the date above, it is the same day Michael was suppose to be burried. Another strange thing is Michael was going to have one of his song done to where you had to wear the 3D glasses during it. Now also tie into it the believe and you have something really odd. Oh yes add into this he already owns half of the Sony music catalogue. The only thing is if Michael is involved in this his name would hard to find. What are your thoughts?

@ Jessica,

I agree-Michael was phenomenal!
I was literally exhausted from watching him move.
Where does he get his energy?

Love you Michael-You are so energetic! ☆

larry i lived in a haunted house house for a year and a half. it was a very interesting experience. the spirit was displaced by accident, and i for one missed it. it was creepy but comforting at the same time. it did minor damage,but was not mean spirited. it was seen by one person and felt by many, including myself. i often heard her coming down the stairs when i was sleeping. the upstairs in my rented house was locked up but my truck key opened it, until the ghost left then it didn't. lots more to the story.

Jessica
__________

I was telling my friend during the film "can you believe he is fifty years old" my gosh he could still move. I wonder if he was still dancing at home through the years. I can just imagine him showing his children to moonwalk. I really hope he did.

@still me

Either I read it or it was in an interview but everywhere Michael stayed or lived he always made sure there was a dance floor or a studio so he could dance whenever he wanted to. He receives all of that inspiration and energy and has to act on it. What talent!

@Katrina,Ohio, I'm sorry I wish there was some way I could fix it.

Making that money.... get 'em...... Hope it goes to his children.....

Yes,Michael always made sure he had a dance studio around him,because he likes to get his groove on.

Just a note.

Best Sellers List Hardcover Nonfiction:

5. MOONWALK, by Michael Jackson

The Anna Nichole case just finished before the grand jury. It took 4 weeks. The grand jury judge said there is enough evidence to proceed with a trial.

I hope the L.A. district attorney gets MJ's case put together soon to present to the grand jury. Hopefully, the grand jury won't take a month to decide on the evidence. I have a feeling that we won't have any MJ trial until next Spring. Uhgggg......I want answers sooner than that. I need to get my patience in order.

hi Katrina,
I didn't interpret Michael's comments to LMP as suicidal. Moreso Elvis didn't end his life on purpose even though his behavior was self-destructive.

What Michael said to Lisa was that he was "afraid" he was going to end up like her father. Not that he wanted to end up like this.
I think he might have been at a point where he realized he was heading down the same road.
Another possibility is that he may have had a "vision" of it – he once said in an interview with Barbara Walters that he has "done that before" referring to somewhat predicting future events.
Either way I believe what he shared with LMP was a cry for help. It is sad that she couldn't understand it and he only reaction to it was to "promptly deter him form the idea" which caused him to end the conversation.
I wish she had been wiser, more patient and more loving with him – she might have been the only one in a postion to help him.

Still me: 10:54 pm

Great news. Thank you for posting.

Tinkerbell thank you for your kind words, but I can't even fix this heartbreaking, and life changing natrosity. I just wish everyone that was involved knew the truth, but I guess I have to settle for me and god knows the truth. Unfortunately because of this persons lie I lost my mom,dad,brothers,grandparents,uncles and aunts. Noone wants anything to do with me because of this persons lie. Like I said it destroyed my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Mila for letting me know that!

Has anyone read Unmasked a book about Micheal yet?

@Katrina,Ohio, This Hoax or your bipolar? But just know that there are people that love you. If you don't just know that I love you.

Katrina,
Unmasked and its author are on our darkest blackest lists :- )
I, for one, will never go near that book let alone buy it.
Same goes for Rabbi Shmuley's book "The Michael Jackson Tapes" which he released recently and Diane Damond's book "Be Careful Who You Love"

I'm waiting for Elizabeth Taylor to hopefully write a book about Michael some day – until then Moonwalk is my bedside reading.

I have Unmasked and I felt it wasn't that great. Now the other book I have is The Magic, The Madness, The Whole Story 1958-2009 Michael Jackson by J. Randy Taraborrelli and I loved this one.

Thank you, Jessica and Susan, for your kind remarks. I appreciate being able to share from my heart my feelings about Michael. So many people here on these blogs who love unconditionally. Jessica, your experience in the next few hours will be something you will cherish, and Susan, I write for myself primiarily. My husband, children, grandchildren and friends receive letters on occasion. It is my gift to them. I love the computer and the ease it affords with editing, etc., but letter writing is losing ground these days with texting, etc. You have written some fine posts tonight explaining to others to just express themselves the best they know how. Here, we have a common bond and can usually figure out what the other means. And if you post here long enough, we understand each other's souls. Please continue to encourage, it is a gift you have and a rarity these days.

The lie that was told on me when i was 11 years old. To Tinkerbell. Thanks but it's hard to feel loved after what was said as a lie about me and destroyed my life even till this day!!!!!!

To Mila thank you for the insight to Unmasked. I would love to read Moonwalk but unfortunately I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Katrina:

As long as you know the truth within yourself, then your life is not destroyed. The heck with the relatives. Doesn't appear like they were much of a support system. Start a new life, don't dwell daily on the past, and build a future with your son. Life is what you make of it. There are many support groups and friends that can take you through the baby steps to move onward and upward. Reach out to them and take advantage of their happiness, knowledge, and understanding. Never give up your life for someone who lied. The truth will set you free only if you let it. There are many support groups and physicians that will help you through the past memories and depression.

@Katrina,Ohio, I am so sorry I will not ask you to go into details. But I will pray for you in my prayers tonight. I hope that is okay with you.

To Tinkerbell and Susan 62509 thank you for your kind words. But to Susan62509 have you been through something like this? If not then how can you tell me to try and move on, because like so many others unfortunately you wouldn't know what I went through or even a 1/3 of it. Or how it felt and still feels today to try and prove your innosence. To Tinkerbell that would be nice I could use all the prayer I can get right now!!!!!!!!! Thank you.

Victoria J:

You just made me cry and I never cry. Your kind words went through my computer and into my heart. I love you my friend.

Mila thank you for the info.

ummmmmmm......

"this is it".....think he got his dance from a German soldier.......

@Katrina,Ohio, Yea I will pray for you. Is there anything you want me to pray for spicial?

Katrina,
Nothing can right the wrongs better than the truth.
I hope you will find the strength to believe that truth always prevails (even if it takes a long time), to fight for it and to live for the moment when the truth will shine.

If you ever need friendship and support you can come and find us here – we're not going anywhere until justice is served for Michael.

I mean special sorry

Victoria!

I was waiting to hear your review.

I couldn't speak after the film. I went straight to my bed with a splitting headache and had to sleep. The next day...complete and utter sadness.

@Mila, Nicely put, you have a way with words.

Katrina:

No, I've never been through what you have. I had been through medical problems as a child and I decided at age 13 to turn things around to a positive by changing my thinking and overcoming the past. I'm trying to offer a positive outlook to you regarding the future. IMO only, continuing to prove the past lie daily to people with deaf ears is prolonging your healing. There are support systems out there to help you heal if you want assistance. It's always easier said than to be done huh?

These times nowadays are very trying. A little about me today is i'm real tired of our economy downfall. I'm trying to go to college online for my associates degree in psychology and I can't find a suitable computer for it, neighther can I afford one on my boyfriends unemployment. We just lost our phone and cable because we couldn't afford it. Also we got a disconnect onour water bill recently which I managed to work out with the supervisor of the water company. And there's no jobs here in Zanesville. So I guess I need alot of prayer for mostly everything.

Thank you for the support Mila.

Have a Happy Halloween tomorrow everyone!

I'm going to tuck myself in, and watch An American Werewolf in London repeatedly! As I do every Halloween weekend!

May you shine from your cloud in heaven Michael or be chillin in Ma's basement,,either way..Much love to you and God Bless..and Have a Thirller-of-a Halloween!
🙂

Yes Susan it is easier said than done. I didn't mean any rudeness if you took it that way, not saying you did or anything. I am currently going to a counselor for this problem, I have for many years, but unfortunately I am not overcoming this like I wish I would. I am sorry to here about your medical problems and I hope you are doing better and will get even better as time goes!!!!!!!

Victoria – I loved your beautiful review. Thank you for sharing it.

FYI – The coroner can tell if a propofol dose is suicide or homicide. They found his levels to be homicide.

oh my those white pants again !!!! i have my name on the list and prepaid for this is it... $17.99 that ought to sell alot of dvds... good more money to pay off his debts... i want those kids to have alot of money for their future !!!!!! i love you michael !!!!

Dearest Katrina

God knows the truth and it will all be revealed in time.

The cross you bear must be very heavy. Your sufferings can bring compassion, understanding and love to those who suffer too.

Mila's right. We are here for you.

Thank you for your support Marmoura!

Katrina,
Seems like there's nothing that should hold you back in Zanesville.
Perhaps you can give a thought to breaking free from that place and search for happiness in another town / state / country.

Where I live (in Redmond, WA) we donate tons of computers to underpriveleged families and students.

There might be some way for you to find a computer through some kind of recycle program – I'll research how it works and let you know if I find anything useful.

Well everyone I am going to head into bed for the night. I hope that everyone has sweet dream and a peaceful night sleep.

@Mila, Those are very nice words you gave to Katrina,Ohio.

@Katrina,Ohio, When I pray for you tonight, I hope that you feel it. I hope that one day in your life you can let it go and feel loved and love others.

Good Night my little bloggers

Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell,
Thanks and sweet dreams to you.

Tinkerbell thank you and sweet dreams too.

Katrina, Ohio 🙂

You are not alone.
I pray the best for you.

Keep the faith. God is with you!!

MEXICO LOVES MJ!!

Katrina:

This is food for thought. I am very serious and this is not to be funny. You can go to Dr. Phil's website and type in your story. I believe people get paid to go on his program if their story is selected. Dr. Phil will get free counseling at the best centers in the U.S. The show also does past research and wouldn't it be amazing that they find something to prove that the past person lied. Hey....it's all free and worth a try. Just trying to help.

Thank you Mila I appreciate it. Also I am afraid to leave Zanesville because my therapist says I suffer from paranoia of the unknown and abandoment issues. According to most therapists these 2 things are hard to overcome!

Thank you Lucero for your support and prayers.

"FYI – The coroner can tell if a propofol dose is suicide or homicide. They found his levels to be homicide".

Can you please explain?

Michael went through the worst that the media could through at him,he was accused by the ones he helped the most and his life was exposed daily and almost never in the best light....for all the world to see....he was the strongest man I know of... and he faced everyday with kindness and grace. So it is humanly possible to make it another day.

Thank you Carol for the info. and nice words and also to Barbara.

I am just concerned that after all expenses deducted, Michael's children will not be left with very much.

Holland

There may not be much after all the lawsuits. But Michael still owns part of Sony and the estate I am sure will manage his copywrites, and image to earn an income in the future. So I am sure they will be taken care of. Michael also taught his children the value of a good education and the value of a dollar. They will make their way in the world. So they will be ok.

Susan I am sorry I thought I sent you a reply but reading through it didn't go through. But thank you for the thought unfortunately I homeschool my son and the computer is through his home school. So I can only do his schoolwork, go to poetry sites and here to cnn. Everything else is blocked. That's why I need a computer for my college courses on line!

But Susan that was a great idea I would do anything to prove my innosence!

Did everyone leave and go to bed?

I have a question for anyone on here who can answer me.

I just saw This is it for the 3rd time and it is a different version than the other two that I saw. As a matter of fact all three are different.

Has anyone gone more than once on here and if so were the same or different?

@Kim from MN-I have see the movie more than once-twice actually-and they appeared to be the same.

How were yours different? I am curious...

Love you Michael-you're the bestest ☆

@Barbara

Certain lines weren't in the one tonight that were in the one on Wednesday, the credits at the end of tonight were not the same and the footage for Thriller was not as long (scenes were cut short) as the one on Wednesday.

Also, on premier night I had no intro from the brothers talking about the reality show, but that was in on the one on Wednesday but not the one from tonight.

I have seen it in three different cities.

Isn't that odd?

@Barbara and Kim - I have seen it twice. I didnt notice anything in the movie being different. I, too, saw it in two different towns. I am seeing it again next wee. The premier night did not have the intor about the brothers' reality show. I will pay closer attention when I go again. 🙂

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL

I didn't get anything about a reality show in either of the movies in Ottawa???? Just the black screen at the beginning with the words...

This is very, very strange indeed!

Love you Michael-you sneaky dawg ☆

I am seeing it again this afternoon but it will be in the same city. I could of seen it elsewhere but I would of had to stand in line to get tickets (no presales). Is the movie better the second time around?

@Barbara... curioser and curioser. I went to my small local Regal on Tuesday night and then went to the Wednesday matinee at the much bigger Regal one town over... Maybe the A&E add was at the larger venues....I must research this.... now I have a really good reason to keep seeing TII!!

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL

@Victoria J-
Thank you for your thoughts on your evening experiencing Michael's gift. I so appreciate your insight. As you said, Michael is a mystery so much so that even he did not always understand it. It was God given. We will never know here on Earth how much further he could have taken us on his amazing ride. I can't even imagine the magic that we will witness him doing in Heaven.
I spent this evening at a small concert hall listening and experiencing some of the most beautiful blend of voices in the group Chanticleer. After their concert my friend who is on their board, spoke about music and it's magic. She said that no matter what the country is going through, economical, wars, etc. music is still there. It is part of our soul. We cannot stop it. It is there. And I thought of Michael and what his music has meant to me. Sometimes there are just no human words to describe it. I have not been to the theater yet, but I look forward to seeing our sweet genious at work.

LORI- JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL-
Thank you for keeping us on track with the investigation. I appreciate all of your information. (Houston weather is in a winter mode this weekend 🙂 )

I didn't know anything about the reality show either until I read on here from TXmom (I believe) and she mentioned it. I didn't have it in the first one, but had it in the 2nd one but not the one from tonight. And watch the credits. This is where it is really different. It's like they re-arranged everything and left out alot of stuff – especially anything to do with the present tense that Michael could have had anything to do with this film

I am going one more time on Sunday – I wonder what I will see then?

I am looking forward to the DVD coming out, so I can watch it over and over again.

@Sandy - it is winter mode here too! Rain, rain, rain and more rain.

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL

@Marguerite

Out of the 3 that I have seen i would say the 2nd one that I saw was the best of them!

Strange things are happening......... (hehe)

@KIm – MN - I didn't notice anything different about the credits...but now I will be sure to pay close attention when I go again.

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL
LOVE LIVES FOREVER

Barbara,
Assuming people are talking about the same reality show clip that I saw..it was during the previews, not IN the movie.

@TXmom - yes in the previews.

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL
LOVE LIVES FOREVER

@TXmom

That is strange, because the reality clip came on right before the black screen with the words starting the movie on the 2nd night that I went.

Maybe they do make it different for all of the markets – don't know why though.

When I saw TII on Wednesday it had the reality show clip in the preview.

@TXmom-oh...okay.

I am going again-third time-tomorrow night.
I didn't see any reality show previews either. Just previews for the new Hugh Grant movie, a movie called Nine, Avatar and 2012.

Thanks.

Love you Michael ☆

Dear Bloggers 🙂

Happy Halloween!!

GoodNight and sweet dreams!!

MEXICO LOVES MJ!!

Kim from MN,
Yep, it was me. I thought the comment made during the preview was tacky..one of the brothers saying "We will be the Jackson 5 until the day we die". Kind of poor placement decision on SOMEone's part.

Happy halloween to all and goodnight!!!!

Here the preview clip was the very first thing we saw and then we had to sit previews of other movies. I did not think they were ever going to start TII.lol

I am going tomorrow to see it again. The first time I saw it I didn't see anything having to do with his brothers. But I will pay attention to the credits. I wonder when the re-arranging on the credits were done. Since all the films I assume were distributed at the same time.

TXmom, this just gets wierder by the minute. I remember you saying that you hadn't appreciated it but 'my version' said that we will always be known as the Jackson 5 and family comes first. The clip only lasted about 10 seconds and then it was Michaels turn!

Oh well, nothing has been straight forward in any regard to what's going one.

I hope we learn the truth one day – no matter what it is.

Are you going to watch the reality show? Michael was what made the Jackson 5 the Jackson 5 (I hope this made sense). I'm a believer and I just can't see Michael being in this show at any time.

Well if he is in the show that will pretty much prove he is alive, won't it?

Yes, Michael was the 'star' of the group and he shined well beyond any of them. But when I look at the anniversary clips on youtube, he was very happy to be with them. Sometimes time does heal the wounds.

I miss you Michael.

This don't have to do with the movie. One thing I could not get over was how fast Debbie stopped trying to get the 2 oldest children. One day she was fighting to get custody and the next she wasn't. The only thing I could see stopping her in her tracks is Michael and only Michael.

Mila,
I think you are right; Lisa Marie perhaps could have made a difference. I think she will always regret her decisions.

Kim from MN,
Very wierd. Your version would not have made me cringe, the one I saw did.
Now if they would just drop Tohme Tohme's name from the tail end of the damn credit list....given the audiotape played on TV and the "you're fired" letter shown on the internet in the days following June 25th, his name on there seemed, um, inappropriate, shall we say?

With the reality show being film during and after June 25. Do any of you think that anything having to do with Michael will be added? And if yes should they?

TXmom

Yeah my jaw dropped with Thome too but did you notice that letter? What isn't right with it? And also, if he was fired he shouldn't have been listed as the advisor. Remember the Jackson Estate approved the film.

I'm going to take a peek at the letter to make sure that I am remembering it right.

Tell me what you think the answer is.

@Marguerite,

Michael is alive, but he may need to stay away for his family's and his own safety. I hope we can see him again, but he needs to be safe (and also his family),

He did this all for L.O.V.E. – I understand,better now, love you Michael. 🙂

Hello everyone!!
I just got back from TII for the second time. This time I saw it on an ultascreen; the screen is huge and the theater has digital sound. I noticed so much more detail this time around but could still not keep my eyes off of Michael!! He just mesmerizes me=)

Hi Lynn-IL - I just know I am going to end up going several more times. 🙂

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL
LOVE LIVES FOREVER

Crap, I think I am thinking of the letter to Leonard Rowe.

Does anybody have a copy of the letter where Thome is fired? I can't locate it on the net.

Is it on company letterhead?

Kim from MN
_______
Where can I see a copy of the letter about Tohme's firing . Also while surfing the web I came across a letter that Michael wrote to his fans written October 9, 2007 saying:

"Soon I will be sharing exciting and suprising news with you from my other efforts."

Seems there was still more in store for his fans. So sad the fans never got to see that.

@Marguerite

Yep, that has been in the back of my mind too. She was so determined and then poof nothing after court. And I don't think she has visited the kids either. We would have had pics from the lovely media otherwise.

Oh, Michael........

Lori-
I am already planning when I will see it again!! Michael has a hold on me=) I also noticed the sparkly gold pants this time, sort of gold pants. . .the next generation!! I think he liked them too cause every scene he had them on in he had a huge smile!

Carebear- I agree he is alive, but I do believe we will see him again. But who knows when that day will be, if you go by the way Jermaine acts it will be soon.

Oh Michael what an awesome concert it would have been, But I am grateful that atleast we got to see it in movie. Your talent is a noble and your heart is like an angel. Dear I will always L.O.V.E you

@still me

I'm trying to locate that letter now. I swore I had a copy of it but can't find it – I can't find it online either.

Since Thome is listed as personal advisor under the credits I wanted to see if it was on company letterhead or anything else that might look not right. If he is listed as advisor I'm assuming he wasn't fired????

Exciting news! I wonder what he was trying to say? Was this letter to all fans or the ones who would hang out by the front gate?

And did everybody notice he was wearing the curls for my girls t-shirt?

It was like he was giving us a hug – he gave us alot of hugs during the movie, didn't he?

Did you see when he impersonated Charlie Chaplin? It was like he was saying Smile, even though your heart is breaking.

Whatever came of the accident he children and nanny were in a while back. That is another thing that seems to have gone poof into thin air.

@Lynn-IL - interesting link. Thanks. The Informer did mention something would happen in December. I was thinking the release of the Opus. I wonder if we will ever hear from The Informer again. I miss the original The Informer. B)

Kim from MN
_______

I am trying to find the letter too ...but no luck yet.

Kim from MN-
Marlon had a twin brother that died shortly after birth. I read the link and that theory is out there. To hide something like that they would have had to hide the child from birth and when Michael was born the family wasn't even in show business so what would the motivation be for something like that? I think this author let their imagination run awry=)

I read that blog, also and find it very far-fetched that someone like that has been hiding in the backround. Jacksons have been a very public family since Michael was very small.. a twin would have been known during those J5 years! 🙂

@Lynn

Oh don't crush my hope! LOL!!!

I know, I know but after seeing the movie tonight I wasn't feeling like he was still alive so I'll grab that straw right now if you don't mind.

Okay, I'll bring a little common sense back in, but it sure is cool to read it.

Back to finding that darn Tohme letter.

Tonight at TII I noticed at the end of Earth Song that the screen switched from Michael in front of the bulldozer live to a digital model of the stage with an avatar Michael. It switched back after about 20 sec. Did anyone else see this?? I was wondering what the purpose is?

Kim-
I don't mean to crush your hopes, sorry=( I do think there are plenty of other reasons to keep believing though, don't lose the faith=)

@Lynn

Yes, I did!

And that isn't the only thing that was different in tonights version than the other two that I have seen!

I thought maybe because I was sitting in front of the screen instead of to the side I was seeing things differently!

Love is a feeling
Give it when I want it
'Cause I'm on fire
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Talk to me, woman

-This is currently playing on my i-tunes and I figure I will oblige.
Who am I to argue with Michael Jackson=)

@Lynn- My version (Canada) just had Michael in front of the bulldozer.

Strange things are happening.

PS: I saw it twice-same thing both times.

Love you Michael-you sneaky dawg ☆

oh.. please don't lose hope.. that blog is just out there.. they are posters on MJHD and Souza and Mo have their own backup forum.. they were actually "let-go" as moderators at MJHD.. I would take this information that you read from them with a grain of salt.. a lot of it is just too far fetched and unrealistic.. but for some they believe it.. I have past over their findings.. there are plenty of other theories out there that have some common sense attached to it.. also they are not MJ fans.. they just wanna crack the case before anyone else. they sit in the mjhd chatroom and just read the chat daily.. kind of crazy!

And going back to the article from the Examiner, Kenny said in an interview (I think it was the Early show) that Michael was working on a new album – is this what is being refered to in the articl? And in the credits at the end of This Is It tonight there was this: The companion album was produced by Michael Jackson. That was not listed under the credits on the other versions that I have seen of the movie.

@Lynn - I noticed that too. Curioser and curioser.

I guess daily visits to the theater too see the movie are now justified.

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL

Barbara-
It is strange!! It could have easily been the mock up for the stage designers, but I didn't know why it would be in the movie especially at that part b/c it is the climax of the environmental msg. of the song. It really seemed out of place. Like a video game. I was wondering if this had to do with that Sony make.believe thing where they are tying their entertainment properties to digital media like cell phones and social networking. That make.believe logo was at the end of the credits.

Ok folks,

I am seeing something different from what you are seeing. I don't remember that in the credits...

Looks like there are numerous versions of this movie out there.

Anyone care to divulge what the first scene in "their"movie was?

Love you Michael-you sly dawg ☆

First scene in mine was the written words and then the testimonials of the dancers, which by the way seemed very scripted this time to me.

But I think you have to see the movie in different cities – I've been to 3 different cities and have seen 3 different versions.

Maybe even going to a different theatre in the same town might show something odd.

The date – April 15, 2009 and then the comments from the dancers that were chosen to participate in TII. I saw TII in 2 different cities and the opening was the same, though only one had the clip for the A&E reality show...."We'll be the Jackson 5 'til the day we die...."

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL
LOVE LIVES FOREVER

On which version?

1. Black screen with the words.

2. The Jackson 5 reality show clip and then the black screen with the words.

3. Black screen with the words.

Lori-
The Earth Song girl reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. When Alice is laying in the grass underneath the tree and the butterfly lands and she falls asleep dreaming of wonderland. The girl in TII did the same but when she opened her eyes the earth was in devestation, Kind of a forshadowing of the future. I know maybe too deep=) What do you think?

Yes the first scene for me was the dark screen with the written words, followed by the dancers being interviewed in April 2009.

I did go to two different theatres, but same city. Maybe the big prank, is each area or country gets a SLIGHTLY different version. Wouldn't that be funny-if it's true. Maybe inTimbuktu Michael ends his movie on the beach...

Love you Michael-You sly dawg...☆

The back cover of the disc does say "Always great to sing with my brother" Who is "brother"?

I have not seen the A&E promo before TII. And I was at a theater 20 min from Gary Ind. tonight so you would think it would be included.

But the credits changed from the 2nd version to the third version. Half the stuff wasn't included this time around and the only reason I noticed was because I was looking to verify something and so i was reading everything and it was like a normal credit list for any other movie.

The Thriller scene was not the same in the one tonight as the other two and the words you wake up one day and he's gone wasn't in the one from tonight like it was in the 2nd one. This is one thing that I wanted to confirm on what scene it was in but it wasn't included in this version.

Maybe someone should tweet KO and see if any answers are forthcoming?

His TWIN!!!!!

Honestly, I don't know – maybe since s was added to pain in the memorial they decided to leave it out here (brother instead of brothers). Somebody find Michael and ask him!

I thought we were supposed to have some answers with This Is It, but it looks like we only have more questions.

did you all see TMZs Halloween costumes pictures.. one guy in the office decided to dress up as propofol.. 😦

He will just say TOY with the L.O.V.E., its his standard answer these days=)

Yes...and can someone ask Kenny why he waited until all the credits finished, after the shoe, sparkly sock and Michael Joseph Jackson productions, to add that last scene?...

Love you Michael ☆

Lori- Next time I go I am scanning that scene for the white rabbit LOL!!

What last scene?

All I had was were his feet! In all 3 versions!

We all just need to pick a location and a time and all go together – then compare notes at the local Starbucks.

The sparkly sock/mjj productions was after the last scene in my theater. Questions and more questions!!

I had an extra scene added-where Michael says to Kenny: "I will come out when I am ready."

Oh, I had that before the feet; it came after the little girl.

Just wierd. They sure have gone to alot of trouble to do this, why?

And I even have my 33 clues, I supposed those aren't any good now either!

Where in the film was "I will come out when I am ready."?
I am going to watch the film again in a about twelve hours. I want to see if it there. I don't remember hearing that line the first time I saw it.

Barbara-
I had that scene too, but at our theater it is after the credits, then the Earth girl comes on and Michael's I love you/signature and then the sparkly socks.

and it was at the very, very-lights on-very last scene. I was the only person in the theatre at this point during the second showing....I almost wrote second coming-woops Freudian slip!

Love you Michael-we're ready ☆

I think my version (at least the one on wednesday) was like yours, Kim. I wonder –could we all just be confused...I don't understand why there would be different prints of the film?

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL
LOVE LIVES FOREVER

That would seem like alot of extra work for the same info.

Those weren't the EXACT words, but Michael said something similar to that, to Kenny. It was supposed to make people think he was discussing his entrance to one of the dances for the show-but then why include it at the very, very, very, very,end?

It may be nothing, but it seems out of place in my opinion.

Love you Michael ☆
PS: I am going to see it again tomorrow night, and I will take notes.

You know what this reminds me of? The Wizard of Oz. Where everybody is running around because of the writing in the sky from the witch and they run to the wizard for help.

I have never seen the Wiz – is there a scene like that in that version?

They are:

Let me breath and then I will come back in. I have to button my shirt/my jacket or whatever, move around a little bit, snap my fingers.

I got this off of another site – not sure if they are exact, this is what was written.

Too much information. To confusing..it 2:39 in the morning in my part of the world. I will just call it a night and get back after I see the film to see if I saw anything different then the first time. Night all and keep up the good work.

After seeing it tonight I definately think that a movie was planned the whole time. If this was just practic footage then the interviews with the dancers and the voice over of Michael talking about Earth Song and the environment wouldn't have been there. That was definately done at a studio and then added over the footage later, it wasn't part of the live show. Maybe they were planning on releasing a movie after the run at the O2??

Kim from MN
___________

I remember seeing that now but I missed what he said.!!!

Barbara-
Are you on here? Enlighten everybody about the Wizzard of Oz!!

@KIm. . . and Michael is wearing the clothes from the Human Nature clip when he says that.

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL
LOVE LIVES FOREVER

still me just a new name-
Goodnight!! Take good notes tomorrow=)

It is possible to be confused, but the differences that I have aren't minor – at least where the credits are concerned.

In the 2nd version it definately listed things as in the present tense with Michael thanking people and that the material was intended to be a film but none of that was in the 3rd version. That stuff is kind of hard to miss.

Hint. . .Wizzard of Oz was filmed at Culver Studios (then MGM)

I am sleepy now so I will have to investigate further later. 🙂 Maybe Kenny Ortega was just being whimsical....who knows

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL
LOVE LIVES FOREVER

At our theater tonight the usher was trying to get people out before the "extras" came on. When the few of stayed to the end he told us that they were not allowed to say anything to customers about the stuff after the credits, I thought that was weird.

@Kim-that sounds right...maybe I was grasping at straws with what Michael said and was wishing that it was a clue.

Sorry for the confusion-it's late and I guess I am just a sorry hopeful.

Love you Michael ☆

@Lori

Not sure about what he is wearing. At this point I don't think I know anything.

Interesting about Culver City (I didn't know it used to be MGM).

Per the informer, maybe Michael is pulling the strings.

Maybe he's still living in the editing room with kenny!

Lori-
He is a happy go lucky guy!!
Have a goodnight!!

@Lynn

That really is odd. Who would care what would be there?

Something is brewing.

It is Halloween and isn't that Michaels favorite?

In reference to The Wizard of Oz (1939) we found a lot of similarities between Michael's death and the movie.

Love you Michael-the man behind the curtain ☆

Barbara-
That is still blowing my mind today!! Genius!!

Kim-
I asked the usher what he meant and he said they are told to come in and start sweeping when the credits start and they are not allow to tell customers that their are extras at the end. I asked why and he just smiled and told me to have a good night.

Sorry about typos above=)

And on another note, 2000 Watts is playing now and I love Michael's sexy low voice!!

@Lynn-IL Weird eh?

And we know Michael loved the Golden oldies...funny he didn't include The Wizard of Oz in This Is It. He chose Gilda instead. Understandably so... to fit with the Smooth Criminal theme, but I am sure he could have incorporated The Wizard of Oz somewhere else in the show. LOL

Love you Michael ☆

Lynn-IL .. LOL, Perhaps he knows the truth. 🙂

@Lynn-LOL - I always watch all the credits for every film. Always have. Always will. Anyway the first time I saw it nobody rushed me out. There were about 8 of us in the theatre. The next afternoon when I saw it at another theatre, there were not many more people and the usher came in and I was the last person...and I could feel the usher glaring at me. But I stayed all the way to the end. But I could tell that usher wanted me out of there...

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL
LOVE LIVES FOREVER

Barbara-
See my post at 2:13. Maybe Wizzard of Oz will be in part two=)

@carebear

Thanks for the video – I choose the side of love – Michael.

Anyway-I am off to bed...

Talk with everybody tomorrow...

Love you Michael ☆

"Well, I – I think that it – it wasn't enough to just want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em – and it's that – if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with!"

@ Barbara

Michael is the epitome of pure genius.

Lori & Carebear
Maybe he blogs on here and knows whats up and uses it to mess with the customers!! Who knows, but he was all business when he was trying to shoe us out of there and then he said they have to let it play to the end but they cannot tell people that there is extras. Who knows!!

Just keep in mind this is Michel Jackson we are talking about and anything is possible.

I'm sorry but that light bulb is not even flickering with that.

So he is at Hayvenhurst?

Barbara-
=) and goodnight!

@ Kim

I don't know. One thing that I do "sense" is that he is alive.

Choose L.O.V.E.

Goodnight/morning ...:)

Kim NM: 1:24 a.m.

MJ won't be on the A&E reality show with the Jackson family. I read the footage was complete just before MJ passed away. MJ did not want to participate in it. After MJ passed, A&E added more footage of the brothers discussing MJ's passing and scenes from the funeral.

Marguerite: 1:30 a.m.

Debbie Rowe did not file any petitions in the court for custody. It was only the media that reported that she said she would fight for custody. The judge had Debbie & Katherine work out an agreement between them and return to court with it. Katherine took full custody of J3 and Debbie took visitation. The J3 counselor will determine when visitation begins. During the follow up report before the judge, the judge determined that the agreement was working so well that he felt no further follow up's were necessary.
_____________________________________________________
Kim NM: 2:01a.m.

There wasn't a letter posted of MJ firing Tohme. There was a letter on the web of MJ firing Leonard Rowe in May. MJ fired Tohme over the handling of the Julien Auction back in Mar/Apr. 2009. All the information regarding the termination came from sources to the media.
______________________________________________________
Marguerite: 2:16 a.m.

TMZ & eonline both reported different stories about the accident with the J3 children. The next day it was clarified. Nanny Grace & J3 were not in the car that got hit. They are fine. It was the security car behind the Nanny car that got hit. It was only a fender bender.

MJ does not have a twin. After viewing the hoax site that is posted above and reading the information the writer got from Intelius forms my opinion.

The write of the hoax site is from another country outside the U.S. and I feel he is confused reading the Intelius site he is getting his information from. I've used Intelius many times searching for people and found that 85% of the time the age is wrong, 90% of the past cities lived is correct and family member names aren't trustworthy. When you look at Michael J. Jackson, it lists Billie Jean as a family member. You can type in anyone's name in the U.S., and it brings up hundreds of the same name or abbreviated first name, with initial or without an initial and it may be listed more than one time with different information. Intelius uses the home page as a tease to get people to purchase/buy additional information for the person you are searching for.

Watched/read the other hoax site posted above.

I thought it very strange the writer had to use profanity and capital letters on certain words to convince readers of the point he was trying to make.

I concluded that the writer has never worked in a corporate world because he didn't feel Craig Harvey can't have 3 titles. I googled Harvey and he has only one title of Chief Coroner of L.A. County for 23 years. The Chief Coroner can investigate, delegate & be spokesperson since he is the Chief and manages the operations of his department.

The video also questions who validates the Chief Coroner. The answer is.....his boss, the Sr. Department Medical Examiner.

The police requested the coroners department put a security hold on the investigation.

Everything else written on this video regarding pictures were partial words taken from a quoted sentence. This is called editting sentences to change the context of what was actually stated by those interviewed.

Unfortunately, I don't have any respect for a person deliberately misleading the public on purpose.

Hi Susan.He didnt firered Thom?Woooowww.Thann the media can realy mix up things.Thay was show the letter,like it was Thom firering,whenn that lady was tape the telephone talk.But anyway thay tape talk for its self...

No where within the movie was there a dedication to Michael such as R.I.P. or in memory. Yes, we know he “died” in June, but in years to come other audiences will view this film. To have no dedication is disrespectful, Perhaps, it will be added later for the DVD version who knows. In my opinion, this should have been added to the current movie.

BTW: Whoever made the video did a remarkable job. I truly do believe of course that a miracle may have occurred. If Murray ever is charged for causing Michael's death than I will believe all hope is lost. He has not yet had his day in court for murdering Michael. This man is still allowed to practice medicine (unless this has since changed or I misunderstand).

Why do the paparazzi not chase Murray and take pictures? They have until January before the paparazzi reform bill falls into place.

After the closing credits...
"……unbuttoned….button up my shirt…………just let me breathe, I'll come in on my own time……..".
-Michael Jackson-

of course it's Michael Jackson..

Forbes counted money earned from October 2008-October 2009, even for Jackson, who- DIED- June 25. But about $72 million – or 80% of the $90 million earned in the past 12 months – came after Jackson's death, said a spokesperson for GreenLight, a consultancy company that represents "delebs," their term for DEAD celebrities still earning money.

Susan of course Michael does not have a twin and I do not subscribe this that theory. There is only one Michael Jackson.

The state board (s) should pull Murray's medical license, he's one unethical and dangerous doctor.

oNLY fALSE mEDIA painted him broke and falling star.. they knew he was not.. they just wanted to believe people that he was out of the chart..

WELL the truth will prevail.. and now it's time to prevail the truth..

Let's make Michael the biggest earning star of all time!

@mariau

Of course, Michael was never broke he had over one billion dollars in assets. Many in the media were always corrupt towards Michael, because, they could not understand his brilliance. So many unkind reports were written, all untrue Media deception can destroy a person's life.

Its always amazed me actually that the media would constantly pick on Michael, but would rarely pick on Gene Simmons, Marilynn Manson, et al.

Good day everyone. Hope today is a wonderful day for you.

@:}

Hi, Mr. happy face. How are you today?

@ :}

You are up early this morning!

Have lots of fun tonight, happy halloween !

Carol: This was posted on another board or did you speak to this person?

@ :}

Hey there!! Are you going trick or treating tonight Michael?
How are you by the way? Ive been trying to talk to you on this blog for a few days now and I always miss you. Can I ask some things ?

Hi Elisabeth I will be enjoying holloween

Wow, thanks for sharing that post. Please keep us informed if there are any others. MJ wore sunglasses to the studio when he was very young because of shyness. I think he may have worn them during the reheasals more for insecurity and feelings of vulnerability; not because of meds. I think we will hear many more of these stories coming out. It is obvious in the movie that the show itself was not ready but I didn't pay attention to that because I was so focused on MJ.

If not for the pressure of This Is It Michael Jackson would be going trick or treating with his children tonight.

@ Hi :}

Im so glad youre going to enjoy Halloween. Can i ask you though.(off topic) where did you get the idea for your military look years ago? Ive always wondered this?

Carol: Do you believe that Kenny was fooling with the fans?

Thanks LKL for posting the news and that beautiful "last" picture of MIchael in the black suit. OMG THAT SMILE!!! MAKES MY HEART GO THUMP, THUMP!! We have to credit dr.AK for restoring the damage that "quack of a plastic surgeon" did to his face over the years. But despite that old damage, we all knew that underneath he was "gorgeuos", we just didn't care how he looked. Will be seeing the movie on 4th November. Preparing myself, but very apprehensive, because everytime I think of him tears come to my eyes. I can't remember having cried over anything or anybody for such a long stretch of time. Now we want JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL! What about a documentary of Aphodite Jones' book.

Hi everybody!
We are going to see the movie now.I am so exited!

Kathy: Michael looks stunning in the back suit!

Stu, You're are going to love the movie! 🙂

Carabear,i know... 🙂

Anne October 31st, 2009 9:16 am ET

Read in This Is It article a few weeks back that Ortega and Philips were in the editing room looking over rehearsal footage 5 days after Michael's death......grieving didnt last long!

Stu,Hungary October 31st, 2009 9:24 am ET

Hi Stu, glad your son is feeling better, enjoy every minute of it....I'm sure you will want to see it another time.....and stay till the very very end!

There are not even 1,but 2 peaples,who was make more money,like MJ after thay died? Woooo.... How thay did that?

I realy would like to see the movie ore,thenn 1 time,but its too expensive for me 😦 But i will gat the DVD.

If Michael has been murdered why is Murray still free to run around with all his many girlfriends? Why are the paparazzi not after him? They would never gave Michael a break.

Thanks Lora,and ok Lora.I realy would like to know,what is in the end,but nobody tell me 🙂

Michael Jackson "GHOST" on again today at 2 p.m. Much More Music.

Stu ... I think their families benefitted, but yes their estate made money.

Stu

You dont want to know......just watch and listen!

Carabear,i realy dont understand This Murrey thing.Its too long time now,and he is obviously guilty.Not even his licens thay tuk...

Lora,the believers say,there is a message in the end of the movie,but you are not believer,right?

Lora: That's awesome. 🙂

Why are they not after Murray? What's up?

We should ask La Toya.She said in nher interview on ET,1-2 months,and we will gat the news about the inwestigation.

La Toya has a myspace page

I'd chase Murray myself, but I live to far away.

Stu

I havent been following the "believers" so I dont know what they are talking about.....just go with an open mind.....dont think about the "believers" and "non-believers".

Mariau, where art thou Mariau?

I'm hoping for a miracle, but it could go either way, so I'm still thinking that Michael:

1) May have been murdered

2.) Escaped with help (#2 is of course is my preference)

He is an angel though. If he died he would be with the Lord.

The stories are all contradiction each other and why is Murray free and blaming Michael for not paying him. AEG was to pay him. he allegedly killed Michael with the medications. If he did so, I'm sorry, but in my opinion its not accident. Phone calls delaying medical help, no doing CPR correctly, and this man's supposed to be a cardiologist?

I’m still a believer, but acknowledge it could go the opposite way. My investigation continues.

Michael if you read this please be safe.

@ Stu and Lora

I am a believer and I just ask you to wonder WHY Murray hasnt been arrested yet. Its been 4 months and NOTHING. Do you not think this is a little odd??? Im not being mean, just asking you to think about it. They kept saying he would be arrested in a few weeks...a FEW WEEKS? That was a long time ago and nothing has happened thus far.
Something is not right and I hope people start to realise this. In any other "crime" of this nature, someone would have most definately been in jail awaiting trial by now...........Please think about all factors that are going on...

TMZ is tabloid journalism, however, even they have not included Michael on their R.I.P. site. Why not? Does Harvey Levin know something that we don't know or is he just trying to get people to question to watch TMZ? (Sad, but possibly true??) Is Harvey Levin that cruel?

@ Stu and Lora

I am a believer and I hope that some of the non believers start to question WHAT is really going on. Murray has not been arrested yet....do you not think this is a little odd? Its been 4 months and we havent even SEEN Murray. In any other "crime" of this nature, someone would have been in jail or released on bond by now and awaiting their trial.
This is not strange to you? Im not being rude, I just hope the non-believers start to realise that all this is fishy.
Think about it with an open mind and maybe go to MJHD or MJKIT and read up. There is nothng wrong with seeing our point of view as well.
I have read some of the believers points on websites and its interesting looking at both sides...but I still believe MJ to be alive.

________________________________

Elisabeth I agree with you that MJ was murdered.....not that he is alive .

I have read the MJHD and have looked at all videos.....fat-fetched to me sorry!

Elisabeth ... I don't understand this Murray situation. Who really is Conrad Murray? Was he a possible hitman doctor hired to kill Michael?

He loves woman and has had many girlfriends and children, but is behind on paying child support. It seems that Murray enjoys a party with the ladies, but lacks the maturity to care for his own children. He ran around on his wife. Hence, more children were born. She too is a doctor.

Now he blames Michael for dying, no pay cheque, but he's a miserable excuse for a doctor (and should lose his medical license). If he truly did kill Michael. Murray the 'alleged’ murderer. is no where to be found. Believe he lives in Las Vegas based on previous reports. He claims the paparazzi are on his tail. Yet, there are no photos. I'll send STU to get pictures of this guy. Honestly, I don't know what to think.

There is a Dr. Conrad Murray in the AMA (doctor list). This is a real doctor. So weird.

Carebear

I hope the paparazzi stay on his tail 24/7!

I dont understand the mystery surrounding his case....should be arrested by now......something else going on that is much deeper probably.

If I were a paparazzo I'd be camped outside his home 24/7.

Morning everyone,

Yoda enjoy the time a the movie you will smile for days.

@everyone,

We need to be patient on the investigation,no new is good news.
They are trying to build a case,we don't need any mistakes.
One miss led move could throw the case out the window.

Happy Halloween to all
Thriller is choice of song for the day.

In the movie, the scenes were he is wearing the dark suit the night before he died seem blurry to me when compared to the other video. But on tv and in magazine photos those images are not blurry. Do you think they did it on purpose since it was footage of the night before he died? I wish they would have shown all that footage because he does not have the sunglasses on and we can see his eyes.

Paparazzi stay on Murray, please.

OMG – the $72 will soon disappear with all the claims against the estate!

MJ Accused of Stiffing Lawyers Out of $1.5 Mil
Posted Oct 30th 2009 6:43PM by TMZ Staff

A team of Michael Jackson's former lawyers claim the singer owes them more than $1.5 million dollars stemming from an agreement he signed way back in 2007.

The firm - Mundell, Odlum & Haws - filed a creditor's claim against Jackson's estate today, explaining how they were never paid back for a $1,144,808.95 promisary note Jackson signed back in 2007. It's unclear what the note was for.

The firm also claims they were never paid for hundreds of thousands of dollars of legal work they performed for Jackson from December 2007 through June 24, 2009 - the day before Jackson died.

Grand total - $1,571,768.62 plus interest.

Add this one to the stack....

Anne, the movie scenes that I saw of Michael in the black suit do not look blurry. I do not understand, some people claim there are different versions of this movie. Could this be true and why?

My idea to all the claims for money from Michaels estate, pay them $10.00 a month for ever! In 2000 years you will have your money.
Boy they keep coming out of the woodwork leeches!

Stop the extortion!

@Carebear

I dont think Muarry killed anyone to be honest. He is the scapegoat. I believe he is part of the hoax. Not sure how, but he is in on it bigtime.
And if the paps are staking him out, then why no photos? The man cannot be locked in his house this whole time...

We only saw one pic of MJ in the ambulance...and he didnt lookdead to me and I believe the pic id fake.

So many things going on to even explain. MJ is ALIVE...this I know.

Judie: These people will never stop. They're too greedy.

@Elisabeth

You are right! My thinking is back on track again. Michael has to be alive. 🙂

I just wish we knew that he was happy and safe.

@carebear,
Do you ever sleep? LOL

Happy Halloween Michael- it was one of your favorite. We will keep the spirit alive down here. No worries.

@ JUDIE- IHYG! I missed you last night- I kept typing in your little face in Jax that I always use for you.. Yes.. Thriller is the choice of song today.

Cause no one's gonna save us from the Beast about to strike.....

MMJ H MJJ xoxo

Judie ... LOL ... Yes, I do. Insomniac!

Time for lunch ... Watch Thriller and Ghost for Michael today. 🙂

Happy Halloween!!! 🙂

Thanks for posting the link to that video Lora

In addition to the informative post by Carol @ 8:35

Two year confidentiality contract. That's right. They are on AEG's payroll for two years, have to pay their bills, have to say what AEG wants them to say. You know what happens in the meantime in the two years? Michael's Sony/ATV catalogue comes up for review in September 2010. Dileo has been appointed to the board regarding that catalogue.

You think all the lawsuits being filed every day against Michael's estate are coincidence? They are not. AEG/Sony and everyone else is going to be raking in millions while all of Michael's money goes to pay off creditors and lawsuits and attorneys. All of this during the very time that Michael's estate desperately needs the money for investigative purposes and survival to find out who killed Michael, who called the shots, and who made the final decision to "inject by another."

It was an elaborate murder plot from the very beginning. The first move being made when they blackballed him into 50 shows (knowing he could not physically do them) and that he agreed to 10, and also knowing that three months was not long enough to put a show of this magnitude together. The will is not valid, and all of these people are nothing but a bunch of crooks and murderers. Ortega was "innocently" used in this plot. All of the other characters willingly took on their roles.

I'm going to go see This Is It tonight........

@MMJ,

I miss you too I was out late and too tired,busy week you know.I am very excited for you for tomorrow,enjoy the movie!
I will be there tonight and maybe Lori can have a seance.
I'm sure ~Michaels~ spirit will be busy tonight. lol

In the interview with Joe, doesn't he say that he has not yet seen the movie? But he said not too long ago that doubles were used in the movie. If you haven't seen the movie yet, how would he know there were doubles? Maybe I ddin't hear Joe correct in the interview with Geraldo – it was at the 4:40 mark aprox.

I've decided to see the movie yet one more time today in a different city to see if it matches with any of the ones I have seen so far. Tomorrow I go back to the same theatre where I saw it the 2nd time – let's hope it stayed the same.

When I woke up this morning I was thinking about the different versions and I can't figure something out. Since I am a believer of him being alive how could I go from watching the 1st and 2nd version and being even more convinced that he is alive to seeing the last version and walking away believing he did die? I was completely shattered when I walked out of that theatre last night. I don't get it. And to an earlier post above, parts of the movie from last night were blurry but not in the first two. Again, I don't understand.

Michael, if you are still with us please give us something. This movie has made things very confusing for me. If you are no longer with us, then my heart has now cried and the grieving begins.

Love you Michael!

One last post for a while in case I didn't connect the dots clear enough above. With this mounting debt, every day, millions upon millions more, every day for the estate, what do you think the "executors" will finally decide is the ONLY solution to get all of Michael's dead paid off?

The ANSWER... To SELL Michael's interest in the Sony/ATV catalogue...which is exactly why they murdered him. It was all set up from the very beginning. Michael always said this would happen!

type above, debt paid off, not dead paid off.

Happy Halloween all you ghosts and goblins!

janice, our thoughts coincide, I was also thinking the other day, how come all the claims now pour over against the Estate? Sept 2010 is not long from now.

So frustrating, what can we fans do?

Interesting, I wonder if it is true? For those of you have seen the movie, did you see this? I didn't.

I am over on the official mj site and there is a post that this person saw Michale's kids in the movie. I guess it is during I'll Be There and the camera goes out to the dancers and they are swaying back and forth and this is when the camera picks up on the kids.

This would be nice if they were there and they were able to see their dad in action.

After seeing This Is It last night and reading janice's post from 11:34am, I am devastated. I feel like someone stuck a knife in my heart.

I think janice is right on the money. OMG. Can't we do anything?

@ Kim in MN

In what three cities did you see the movie and, was one of them on IMAX? I will probably go to several theatres as well. Let me know.

@janice – an estate has to go through accounting which is eventually registered with the court, that is how they calculate probate fees. Now the Executors do not decide whether they sell the catalogue. It is not their money, it is the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries have to approve the accounting of where the money is going. That is basic estate law. Do you really think the Jacksons would sell the catalogue? Because most of the money is tied up in company' names, most of his wealth is held in a family trust. We do not know what the terms of the trust agreement holds, so we really don't know squat. The Executors are responsible to administer the Estate, they are only allowed an executor's fee which is a percentage of the estate or in some instances, some people state a flat rate or they state they do not wish the Executor to collect a fee....so since there is still the battle of an original Will, we really don't know anything, as far as the Estate goes.

In the version of the movie I saw Michael looked healthy, but thin. The video was not blurry.

Why are there different versions? This is odd.

Is it true there are different versions?

Diane,
Whuuts uup? I'ts close to midnight,something evils lurking in the dark.
Happy Halloween! See you hag later maybe a seance?

IHUG

Michael never hurt anyone.

The only thing we can do is write letters. I and thousands of others have been writing them every day to government officials demanding Justice for Michael. Many, many people from these LKL blogs have joined in writing these letters. We have also been emailing media outlets letting them know that we are not stupid and we know this was not an accident.

I know that some people on here do not like my posts, but I want to adamantly state that anyone who cannot see in the movie that Michael "clearly is angry in the last few days of taping" is not seeing it...because they don't want to see it. It was obvious to me the first time I saw the movie. The movie is not in chronological order.

The HD footage was shot during the final rehearsals. The HD footage is where Michael is in the orange pants/silver jacket, the J5 segment, the Smooth Criminal segment where they are lined up in a row where he says "I have to feel that." Also notice his speech is very slurred during that clip. HD footage also includes the black & white segment where he is the leather jacket with the cross on the back.

The beginning rehearsals are shot in "low quality" when he is in the blue shirt doing Billie Jean and other songs and gives the speech in the circle holding hands, the red shirt where he is doing Beat It and other songs, and the Gray Jacket/Black Pants where he is doing "They Don't Really Care About Us and other songs". I know after he died they released that clip stating it was from the 23rd. That is a LIE. I have personal knowledge of this but you can see for yourself from the "stage". The "stage" has not yet been constructed in any of this footage. Michael is playful, happy and engaging in the early footage.

When HD footage started, you can clearly see "if you will open your eyes" that this is a different kind of Michael. He is agitated and angry. Brilliant, yes. A genius, yes. Happy and engaging? No way! They made the decision to shoot in HD in the end because they knew what was going to happen next and the shots had already been called....they had to have a way to recupe their investment. That is why Randy Phillips is in an editing room 5 days after Michael's death piecing together a movie. It is a HUGE murder cover-up.

Justice for Michael Jackson!

@Diane in Mpls

I have been to Brooklyn Center (version 1 – premier night), Eagen (version 2 – I got my 33 clues!) and Plymouth (version 3 – left feeling that he did die).

I have not seen it in IMAX (was thinking about seeing it there today) and my understanding the only city close to me that is playing it is Roseville. Is it somewhere else other than this? I thought when I first checked it out it was also playing in Edina but it doesn't look like that now. I go back to Eagan tomorrow for an afternoon showing – since I have seen it here before, I will definately know if Im losing my mind or if something funny is going on.

Janice I'd rather read your posts because you have something to say. I have been writing letters and sending emails aswell. We have to its no good sitting on the fence.

Justice for MJ!

@ Lois

Unfortunately, you have missed the whole plot. This has nothing to do with executor's fees, etc. This has to do with an elaborate conspiracy to take over Michael's Sony/ATV catalogue with very powerful and high profile people calling the shots. It is very extensive, was meticulously planned out, and would take 50 to 100 pages to explain it all here. It is what Michael always said would happen and it is happening right in front of our eyes.

Justice for Michael Jackson!

deb is taking a battering on tmz blog right now.

Hello Jan, thank you for your attention

Since Michael Jackson died I began to attend TMZ, where I found a chain of love and support each other, trying to overcome this pain today cut the people's hearts and never seems to go ...

I read more than I comment, I have difficulties with English, some terms do not understand, but you feel closer to Michael Jackson.

When she started the mess of enemies attacking Tmz GS could not post more, my comments evaporate, OMG I was furious and wanting to defend GS could not.

Every day I read the posts and I read the attacks on Deb, Sue Tampa, etc ... I get nervous and unable to be there to increase our strength.

I am following the illness of Henry and praying with friends TMZ by Deb.

Please send hugs to the fans of our beloved "King of Pop" on TMZ that there are to be congratulated for fighting the enemies!

I love you and I pleased to participate in this chain of love, God bless you!

Big hug Jan.

@ HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL OF THE BLOG!

I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON!

Three versions????? Why Kenny?

@janice

Maybe you can answer me on this. Th picture that was distributed with Michael standing in front of the This Is It Sign, do you know when this was taken? Since he is wearing the same clothes in that picture as he is wearing in the They Don't Really Care About Us, would it be safe to assume that this was done before the last rehearsals since you are saying that song was done before the HD?

Or am I confused?

Thanks!

All today MTV and FUSE (Comcast cable) are running MJ specials.

@Carol!

Wow.....everything in your post is evident in the film. The ear monitor things were a very uncomfortable part of the film for me. You could tell Michael was insecure.

Oh gosh...my heart is broken for him even more!

I'm in business and i've come across a lot of Randy Phillips characters. You never really know who your friends are in people like this. You don't get to the top by being nice. You get there by being shrewd. Therefore, these people are hard to trust.

@ Kim

In was early footage. That's all they had "This Is It" for a backdrop. The elaborate staging was all built later.

OMG..reading janice's post at 11:34 am and carol's at 8:35 am, i'm seeing a different plot..but could people be so mean like that? did they really arrange the plot from the beginning?
it's possible that the concert deal was just a ploy, Kenny and Murray were placed to smooth the way, they didn't even know it. Seeing the movie, it's clear that the concert itself was not ready from their side not from michael's side. He's in a ready condition, he'd done those things his whole life, he might lack of sleep, but he had this energy that he knew would help him through. The 40 additions was to give michael pressure so that it looked like michael was the who was not ready for it. Meanwhile they spread the news that michael was wrecking and all (remember the early tabloid news during rehearsal) and the preparations went slowly. IF they did kill him (i don't know how..making murray believe the safe dosage or whatever), murray will get the blame and there's already image that michael's not ready for the concert..the movie they create surely clears that image but their own intended slow preparations will never be revealed.

mmm..i'm confused now..which one to believe..oooh Michael, i really hope that the truth will come out..you are a good person, an angel, you don't deserve to be treated like this..i always pray to God to clear him from all the bad things..

Thanks denise, I think the haters on tmz are trying to throw everyone off the trail in getting justice for MJ.

No it isnt, Jan. The writer was a woman last name Boyd I think it was from UK. The deleted the post.

janice,

I knew the rehearsals weren't in any particular order. I wasn't sure when the newer rehearsals were and the older. Thanks for clarifying that! I was assuming that the clips of him when he was very, very thin were towards the end. He didn't look so thin in the orange pants. He was slurring his speech at times and seemed uninterested at times. The part with the "I feel like I have a fist in my ear" made me uncomfortable. He was not happy. I left the theater wondering where his passion went. He seemed a little beat down in certain parts.
Umm...I need more times to digest this. I have to go see it again. I was so mesmerized just by his presence that I didn't really take it all in. I just left feeling very sad.

janice, we have seen them killing Michael, now we are going to see them taking the Catalogue from his children

what can we fans do???

All –
Sorry I misspoke. I just checked the schedule and MTV and FUSE were just running specials this morning. FUSE is on now until 1:00 pm CST.

Ortega said in interview that the only time the children were there was when he was filming Thriller! Otherwise were not at song rehearsals.

@Diane in Mpls

Thanks for the link! I will check it out and see where I am headed to next.

Goodmorning everyone, As always I hope everyone had sweet and peaceful dream's. How is everyone?

@Janice

thanks for providing the info. This is so tragic.

Lori Quebec Canada October 31st, 2009 11:33 am ET

Thanks for posting the link to that video Lora
*******************************************************

I think it is the only interview in which Joe Jackson really appears genuine and sincere about Michael!

Regarding confidentiality agreements (NDA's Non-Disclosure Agreements) signed by cast, crew, etc,. they are all over-ridden by court subpeona. I have had to sign many of these over the years. If the investigation leads to a conspiracy trial and these folks are subpeonaed to testify – their NDA's are moot.

@ Holland

That's right. That is what we are going to see. Hopefully, when the Jacksons are able to prove that the will is not valid later in November, it will cause the judge to "take a pause" and hopefully things will get on track at that point. Although the wheels of justice are slow, proving that the will is a "fake" and brought forward by those who are involved in the conspiracy, should be a turning point.

All we can do is write letters demanding Justice for Michael Jackson and pray that they do not get away with it. That is all we can do, pray, pray, pray and write letters.

@Kim in MN

You and I are left to our own devices here in Prince country! Did you see the Strib review of his concert last Saturday night at Paisley Park? They said "Prince showed more creativity and innovation in his first set than Michael Jackson did in his entire career." Yikes!

I am a little lost this morning, can anyone tell me what we are talking about please.

@Kim from MN October 31st, 2009 12:22 pm ET

KIm,
Maybe you mean my post in which I was asking if anyone else thought they saw Prince Michael during the "I'll Be There" rehearsal.

I didn't get any replies to my post.

I can't say I'm even close to sure in what I saw but there was someone who looked to me like Prince both times I saw the movie.
I think MJ might have brought him at the rehearsals especially if the rumor is true that he was going to have Prince join him for a song on the O2 stage.

From the other rehearsal footage there was one song in which Michael was smiling at someone in the audience very sweetly while singing – can't remember which song it was.

I'll pay attention to all these details next time.

@Lora

Oh my! Watching Joe talk to Heraldo about Michael just made me so sad for him. No parent should EVER have to bury their child.

Sure, Joe Jackson isn't the most articulate, but it's obvious he LOVED his son.

thank you for providing the link to the video.

I have one question to you all – wasn't Dirty DIana supposed to be in the concert ?
I've heard that they were going to have a flaming bed and so on for this song. How come we didn't see it in the film ?

@ Diane

That is right, Thank God. I had posted that same thing on a blog a few weeks ago. They will be allowed to speak under the force of subpoena. Thank God!

@ Mila

That is true. They murdered him before they were able to capture it on film.

Hello Everyone!

My computer has been down for 3 weeks, and I've been lost without my LKL Blog! I've got a lot of catching up to do but first I want to say I saw This Is It, Oct. 28th. It left me with more questions than answers. I want to thank Carol for the article she posted....the article is so accurate to my observations. I feel This Is It showed a different Michael Jackson. It seemed as if he was not excited about doing this tour (maybe because their were to many dates scheduled). Although I'm sure Michael was excited about being on the stage again, most of the footage looked as if he was just going through the motions. At times he did seem frustrated, especially the incident with the ear piece. Then there were times that he was actually enjoying himself. It seemed as if the rest of the crew was more excited about this tour than he was. I also left thinking how could they put together a concert like that with only a few months of rehearsals and preperations? That article confirmed a lot my personal feelings. This Is It left me with a more INTENSE feeling of SADNESS for Michael. MJ-FAN4LIFE!

Audiences are being manipulated by the order the rehearsal video is placed into the movie. At the end of the movie, he looks well and happy wearing that blue shirt. At the beginning of the movie he looks too skinny. You have to ask yourself why are they doing this? Why wouldn't it be in chronological order? What was really going on?

At the very least it is damage control for having had their star die in producing the show, and for hiring the doctor who admits giving him propofol, and then acting like vultures making money off his death.

Marmoura,
You know I also started thinking like this about Joe.
He sure wasn't the perfect parent and he did some majorly odd things after Michael's passing but it does start to seem like he had love for him deep inside.
Maybe he's just the kind of person who is not able or willing to show him emotions.

Once I saw him say to Larry "I still can't believe that he's gone" with a sign and that was somehow very very sad.

My last post for a while again. Some may think it is "brazen" of me to speak out and outright call them "murderers." That is my right. How many people have outright stated on blogs, in national news articles, grabbed a microphone on TV and outright called Michael Jackson a pedophile! We have to get our point across. They MURDERED Michael Jackson!

Justice for Michael Jackson!

@Diane,
Thanks I just spent 15 minuutes looking at Fuse, and I couldn't find it.
LOL better late than never.

@janice – didn't see your prior post. Yes, it is a good thing and perhaps may be why the investigation is taking so long – they are covering all bases. Everyone should remember that the J. family also has a private investigator – which is a REALLY good thing as well.

@Janice

Question for you and for anyone that can provide insight.

What is the benefit of deeming the will invalid? It there issue with Branca and McClain being the executors and that's it? If not Branca and McClain then who would be the executors? I thought Branca was on the MJ team – he is the one who secured the catalog in the first place.

Also, who better could handle the messes of the estate if not them?

any info you could provide would be most helpful!

Janice,
I don't think AEG murdered him.
If I was AEG and was scheming to murder MJ I would have had him do at least one concert that I can capture on tape and sell afterwards.
Or if I can't do a concert I would have at least done a dress rehearsal with all the fancy stage effects – to sell later.

@janice

I just want to understand this right because what I have does not go with what you are saying about the picture of the This Is It sign.

I have found a few pictures now that show the date and time stamp and that includes Michael standing in front of the This Is It sign. The date and time stamp says June 23rd at 3:42 p.m. and the picture was taken by Kevin Mazur. There is no photoshop indication under the properties section so if the footage for They Don't Really Care About Us and the pic of the This Is It sign were done before the last rehearsals why isn't the pic matching with the footage?

Please help me to understand what I am not seeing.

@janice, no I have not missed the "plot"....i have been blogging here since the beginning of July and AEG and Sony were mentioned as a conspiracy back then by other bloggers, I am just stating that the beneficiaries have the right to the accounting of the estate, which also includes SONY's catalogue which would be listed as an asset. Therefore, the beneficiaries do have a say in the SONY catalogue. Each beneficiary has to sign and approve the accounting of the estate, so they would have to approve the sale of the catalogue. I think you are misunderstanding what I am trying to say.

Judie –

WHUUUT? TNO. PUHALKSA.

Elizabeth

Reach and you will see that there are actually four photos of the ambulance.

@Carol

Also, the part about MJ maintaining distance from the cast the crew was spot on. Perhaps this was his style, but I did notice that he didn't really address anyone. He seemed far away from them. with the exception of ortega, bearden, orianthi, and payne. maybe it was better this way.

Didn't the vocalist in I just can't stop loving you even say that she had never "officially" been introduced? I thought their duet seemed awkward.

Diane Whuut? See you later @2300 don't bring any ghouls or creepy things! TNO PUHALKSA
You are a hag. BOO

@Diane

Very interesting about the confidentiality agreement. I didn't realize they can be thrown out.

@ jan
31 de outubro de 2009 1:14 ET

I absolutely believe that you are right!

I think the enemies on TMZ are more dangerous than we realize and be careful, because my antivirus program is blocking my posts there ...

It seems that a gang of internet is being paid to shut up the fans of Michael Jackson, very strange all this, many people who love the "King of Pop 'disappeared from TMZ.

The justice of men may even fail completely but I believe in the righteousness of God and that is slow but not crash!

Everything has its right time ... I am confident, praying and waiting for God's time ...

Big hug and peace of heart to all.

@Ann

Can you provide what the order should have been? When MJ was doing the Bad dance with the green screen, was that in the beginning?

@Mila

I'm right there with you!

@ Marmoura

Michael had Branca investigated in 2005 and Michael no longer trusted him. Branca resigned in 2006. You will need to investigate and research everything you can to put the plot together.

You can investigate the following: Dileo, Anschultz, Tohme, Randy Phillips, AEG and all of their affiliates, Pepsi Corporation, Colony Capital, John Branca, John McClain, Allgood Entertainment, and list just goes on and on and on and on. They are all connected. This was an elaborate plot. No single thing "part" of it stands on it's own. You have to put it all together to see the plot.

Investigate the connection between Dileo, Allgood Entertainment, and his new appointment to the catalogue at Sony. Investigate the connection between AEG and Pepsi. Investigate the connection between Randy Phillips and Tohme. Investigate the connection Anschultz, Tohme and Colony Capital. Invesitage the connection between Colony Capital and Neverland Valley Ranch. Investigate the connection between AEG, NBC, CBS and ABC networks. Investigate the connection between Branca, McClain and Sony.

It is the biggest cover-up since JFK. And that is a "quote" from the Jacksons. After investigating all of this, the conspiracy and plot will be clear.

@ Kim

Time dates and stamps can be manipulated and purposefully set to whatever someone wants them to be.

There will probably be several books written to be published 2 years from now. I wonder if that is what Kenny O is going to be doing for the next few months. Is there really going to be a sequel to TII? I am waiting for the day when AEG sues the estate because MJ damaged their reputation by dying.

Dileo said on CNN's HLN that the children's trusts are getting 90% of the movie profits which is a flat out lie.

@still me just a new name, I thought there were only three.Do you know where I can find the other one?

Here's where I am parked on this and I probably might get hammered but that's OK. In 1993 MJ came on TV and talked about all of the allegations and rumors swirling. Some of them were obviously quite believable in terms of public opinion – even today as we know. His message in essence was, to paraphrase: "Don't convict me until I have my day in court. It is my right like every other American citizen." I have always shared that value with him. So, where I am parked regarding Sony, AEG, etc, is that the investigation (facts) are not yet complete and it is mostly speculation at this point. They all get their day in court. When MJ said this on national TV way back in 1993, I don't think he meant that right applied only to him. I am certainly not defending anyone here but in terms of who was at fault, for what, and how far the culpability goes – I don't have enough facts to believe that any of these folks are guilty of anything. I am happy the investigation is taking so long because to me, it is an indicator that they are being very thorough. This is MHO since this seems to be the topic.

I heard that the children trust only gets 90% after they have made 135 million.

carebear
Let's remember, also, that there are THREE different medical boards that could go after Murray.. the one here in TX, another in Nevada, and then California. Hopefully all three are watching as more details of what he did/didn't do that day surface.
The TX medical board website has him listed. WIll be interesting to see how THAT website is updated over the next few months. It has stuff like licensure status, disciplinary actions taken, etc..

Marmoura,
Thanks for mentioning the "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" duet – reminded me I wanted to say something about it:
Wasn't Michael the sweetest one with the way he was planning to finish this duet – by directing the "I just can't stop loving YOU" to his audience. I was really touched by that.

The duet might have felt awkward to you because MJ didn't want to sing high notes but they were playing high notes for him and wouldn't end the song so he was forced to sing .. lol he was so sweet saying "why are you doing this to me when i shouldn't be singing" .. lol – such an angel.

Otherwise I would totally understand if he was keeping his distance and being careful not to get close with any specific persons – moreso when these people are his employees.
He had this gift/curse to make everyone feel special and people often ended up thinking that he had some feelings for them and started expecting certain things from him and then turned on him when they didn't get them. He probably had learnt that he's safer on his own rather than with random people getting close to him.
He was however very cordial to the whole crew telling them that they are all doing a great job and that they are all family.
I personally think that he was awesome.

Janice,

I said it from the beginning, Michael Jackson was murdered!

@janice

I know things can be manipulated – I have another pic of the This Is It sign with date and time of June 24th 5:23 a.m. and this one is copyright through the Michael Jackson Company.

Funny how two pics ended up on the web though each with a different version and how they could have been saved to my computer with those dates on it and not the date I actually copied them like all the other pics that I have show.

We all are going down a different path to find the truth, but the truth is what we all do want in the end.

Sorry Elizabeth meant to say "research and you will see that there are actually four photos"

Jan

Sony gets the first $135 million then the estate gets 90% not the children's trusts. The estate is up to its eyeballs in debt and has to pay Branca to fight Katherine in court and pay McClain to produce his records to sell to Sony. I wonder if those kids will see any of the money from TII.

I absolutely loved that article you posted about Michael and Akio Morita. It makes me cry. Why, oh why could the media not see the truth about MJ?

@janice October 31st, 2009 1:41 pm ET
My last post for a while again. Some may think it is "brazen" of me to speak out and outright call them "murderers." That is my right
-------------

Janice,
It actually isn't your right to call anyone murderer without them being convicted of murder.
In fact they can sue you for that.

There was recently a case against a blogger who said something about Anne Nicole Smith's mother. It was again some speculations very much like the ones we make here talking about how the mother wanted to get custody over ANS's daughter for the money.
The mother sued the blogger for defamation of character – the case is still ongoing.

Lynn-IL,

I wouldn't make too much of the movie ushers trying to get people out..my daughter works at our local movie theater. She started out as one of the workers who goes in to clean up each theater after the movie and now she is one of the several assistant managers...they make the worker bees who do the cleaning, get in and get out of the theaters as quickly as possible..they all carry a list so they know what time each movie ends so they know where to head. In our case, there are 24 different movies starting and ending every several minutes so they have no down time really.
If the clean up workers at your theater are like ours, they are young high school kids who just wanna get their task done and move on. They don't even care what movie it is that just ended. They just turn the overhead lights on in the theater and start cleaning up.

@ Mila

It is my right. It's called freedom of speech. The media has told nothing but lies about Michael Jackson all of his life and they have gotten away with it. They are continuing to get away with it by making "Michael out to be a junkie" immediately following his death as part of the murder cover-up thanks to AEG releasing photos that they did not rightfully own.

I will not hesitate to do all that I can to find Justice for Michael Jackson!

@pat davis, So you think that Michael was murdered? Why?

i think the only thing it matters to me now.. is Dr. Quack Murray.. he was the last man standing beside Michael. whether there's conspiracy or not.. Dr. Propofol should go to jail.. first.. before they catch all the JAWS.. SO far no farther investigation to those "who conspired or not"..
the facts Dr. Murray killed Michael Jackson..by administering drug propofol.
i saw Kenny Ortega, and i never think he will do something with Michael..
if you have seen the movie, then you could tell.. i've seen it...
instead of complaining what you've seen on the movie, why not just taking it as a blessing to see Mj for the last time..

THE FATE WASN'T IN ANYONE'S HAND... IT'S ALL IN GOD HANDS..
AND EVERYTHING HAS REASON WHY IT SHOULD HAPPENED OR WHY IT SHOULDN'T HAPPENED... BEYOND THIS GOD CAN ONLY ANSWER..

i will never stop praying for Michael, May God Almighty bless his soul and give him etenal serenity..

MICHAEL WE LOVE YOU MORE.. OUR KING OF POP

Does anyone remember when Unbreakable was on here telling us how she was working with MJ on the Dome project and he was worried about her surgery on her leg and her missing her children and that he called her personally to work on the project and was going to pay her family's airfare to London or something like that? She said she would post photos after the movie came out.

Mila
Someone complained about their landlord not fixing mold in their apt. on a tweet and is getting sued for damages.

There are three pictures with the paramedicas on the chest doing CPR but they are all slightly different but the fourth is one where the paramedics hand is not on the chest and you can acutally see two of photos

On you tube look at the clip:

"Interview with the paparazzi who took the last picture of Michael Jackson dead in the ambulance"

There are two pictures in this clip alone,there one at the 1:29 mark and 3:07. You can see the paramedics hand in one picture but no in the other. I am confused because i got the impression that only ONE shot was sold. and yet there are actually four out there.

@still me

I know isn't it amazing how many duplicates or tiplicates we have of everything?

I have two of those FAKE pics and saw the video and also heard in that video the big blunder the photog just about let slip out on who would be part of the monetary gain of selling that pic. Hoepfully that money all went to charities!!!

And did anybody see Alvarez in the movie while the girl is practicing Man in the Mirror? Did anybody think that was odd besides me? I was trying to figure out what the 911 caller had to do with the song. Yes, at times I really do reach to come up with things!

Love you Michael!

Let me correct myself..there are four pictures but I am thinking that only one may have been published. How they got more than one clear shot with the ambulance moving and all the photos taken from the same angle....without being able to hold the lens right up to the window ........they must have a great camera. I will have to experiement with that one. I will have to try getting that many shot saway from a tinted window with my camera set to take "continuous" shots.

Janice,
Would it be "freedom of speech" and rightful if someone here was to call you this ?
How about the tabloids spreading lies about Michael and telling everyone he was a pedophile ? Is this also freedom of speech ? Is this also their right ?
It's "defamation of character" !

You can speculate, point the facts and even sayso and discuss them – that's freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is the freedom to expres your opinion.

Casting a verdic on someone without trial is beyond the intention of "freedom".

@still me

No, there were two that were published because I have them and they are different from each other – in MANY ways!!

Just another on the list of things that don't add up.

I couldn't understand why dates were not provided on the different days of rehearsals for This Is It. I thought most documentary's have footage that is dated so the public is aware of what took place on what days. To leave out the dates had to be intentional, but why? I also noticed when Michael was wearing the orange pants he was not so thin....which leads me to believe that was early footage, then when wearing the dark jeans he was extremely thin, which had to be footage closer to June 25th. Why would they delibertly leave out the dates of the rehearsals? Wouldn't that be a crucial part of a documentary? I have got to see this film again!!!

@ Mila

That is my point exactly! That is exactly what they did to Michael Jackson all of his life...convict him without a trial! Immediately after his death they continued with their "defamation of his character!" You don't have to join in my efforts to get the truth told but it is my right and my priviledge to help where ever and however I can as a citizen and a true admirer of Michael Jackson!

Justice for Michael Jackson!

On my way to see the film again in about an hour. Anything you want me to look out for?

Got a question!

Pat, you made me think of this.

When the Thriller segment was on and Michael was watching it on the monitor wasn't the date on the monitor June 5th? Am I remembering this right?

@still me

Yes, can you watch the credits to see if there is any mention that the footage was originally intended to be the movie and that Michael wanted to thank the choreographers of past performances.

Thanks!

@still me

Sorry forgot one.

Can you see if when the bullozer in the EArth Song comes up behind Michael that he stays being himself or if it changes over to a cardboard (digitally produced) looking Michael?

Kim from MN
_____________

I will check on that I hope I remember to look for it and I will try to check the date on the monitor. Hopefully I can focus on other things beside Michael. LOL

Will check on the bulldozer.

Hey Hags! It's Halloween! See you later tonight for tricks and treats on the street. Seance .....whuuut?

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL
LOVE LIVES FOREVER

If the Will was ruled "invalid" due to the witnessing issues and location of signing; the court would use the previous will, unless there is a more recent will than can be proved to be authentic.

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL
LOVE LIVES FOREVER

Just watched "Ghosts" jeez Michael ws so talented.....I am in awe every time I see his work!

Mila

I loved the end of I just Can't Stop loving You when he pointed out to the audience. 🙂

That was a good part.

I still thought that their interaction was awkward....not on Michael's part because he was experimenting, but on hers because it just didn't seem like she knew what he wanted her to do. i would be the same way! JMO.

@Anne

I remember Unbreakable! I wish she would come back.

Kim,
there was text in the beginning of the movie saying the recording of the rehearsal was intended for Michael's personal library.

This however is not true because the rehearsal footage didn't belong to Michael – it belonged to AEG and I don't think AEG was planning to pay for HD recording in order to just gift it to Michael. It was also said that they didn't allow Michael to use his own cameras – something that he loves to do and he's said in previous interviews he would have several cameras recording the same thing so he could see it from different angles.

The text was also saying that they were also planning to use the footage to accompany a recording of the tour concert – you know how they always have a second DVD these days with the making of the movie.

At the end of This Is It the credits had this text:
"Michael Jackson wanted to thank choreographers" he's worked with on past performances (or something to this effect)

I thought the music during Thriller where its "Raining The Dead" was absolutely beautiful!

@Janice

Thanks. I have much research to do. But, you are right...many people are definitely involved in some way.

@Kim

Yes, that was a digital animation of the Earth Song buldozer and Michael at the end. The production company would something like this together for the whole show so that you can see what it is supposed to look like and time the production accurately from lights to cues.

@Lori

Was there anything different about the previous will besides adding Blanket?

Hi dear Lora Otawa Canada how are you?
Ghost and thriller is the best for holloween.. 🙂 🙂

Marmoura, Anne,
I was trying to stop someone who could be our Unbreakable during the Thriller segment but there were just way too many people there.
However I watched the credits carefully and I didn't see any women's names of people who have been involved in the computer graphics. She was saying she is a freelancer so her name should have appeared separately – not as part of a company. Tthere were many companies listed – including some weird name that had an exclamation mark instead of the letter "I" – i think 3D!T or smth (it was something with !T for sure)

correction above:
I was trying to spot

As it is Halloween today, I imagine the blog will be invaded by many bloggers disguised as Michael Jackson (as usual)... didn't they say on a previous blog it was with vampires one of the most popular disguise this year for Halloween...

So Happy Halloween everyone!

real or fake....
who ever you are...

😉

Mila

I sure hope Unbreakable comes back. People were quite unkind to her and she just wanted to share her experience.

She may not have even be listed because she was hired by MJ not AEG. Not on AEG's payroll, therefore, no record? Also, if she just did some development work that doesn't mean that they would remember to include her. Unfortunate.

Janice you are very good. Here are some observations from another site:

Thank YOU! Real people with real brains have this figured out as well. Wouldn't it so nice if these contracted players would band together, tell AEG to piss off and take a stand against them? I know it would be career suicide, but we are talking about a murder. Between you and Guitar all what you have spoken is the truth. Can't get much plainer than that. I noticed Dileo, Phillips, tohme all had very smug attitudes about them at the premier, saw it in person. They are business men who want that money. Ortega has been sucked into it. I could never figure out why Michael, as great a dancer as he was didn't teach the other dancers, why did they have to pull in Ortega. In going back through records, you will find some of these same people also worked with one of the accusers of the molestation from the 90's. I'll say no more, but it all ties into Sony and some about Las Vegas.

Posted at 3:03PM on Oct 31st 2009 by Got A Brain and Figured It Out

how is it we can see what happened to MJ and the Law enforcement people are saying it was only Murray. I had a horrible feeling as soon as MJ died that this was sooooo fishy. The tape in the security camera near his room suddenly gone? And on and on. I know Randy Phillips is trying to shut Karen Faye up. She is really getting to him. And at least she is sharing so if anything happens to her she has told fans to fo to police.

This is just unbelievable if they get away with MJ's murder. I hope for one there will be Justice for Mike. Latoya is afraid for her life too. She may be a loose cannon, but I believe she is right on this one.

Posted at 3:05PM on Oct 31st 2009 by mamagoo

I've read numerous other articles stating to watch what happens to the ATV catalogue. I still believe that Branca is still tied in with Sony somehow, MJ has always told his sister that he was going to be killed for this catalogue. How interesting that it is up for review in 2010. We really need to watch stories about this in the near future. I firmly believe that Phillips, Tohme, Colony and Sony are in cahoots to get this catalogue. Tohme was fired by MJ in May, but he is still around-anybody asking why? I cannot say for certain, but, I agree with you, look at all these lawsuits, Branca will make sure they get paid, the estate will lose millions and what other way to pay the creditors than to get rid of the catalogue.
When I first heard that mj had died, I wondered who was responsible for his death. I believe that Murray is the scapegoat, who was he talking to on the phone for 40 some minutes before calling the ambulance. Was he letting AEG/Sony know that the "task" was done.
If there is no cover up going on, why didn't Murray call the ambulance immediately, why did he insist Prince stand there while trying to revive his dad? Why would a doctor put a child through something so traumatic as watching their dad die? Why would he refuse to sign the death certificate? Why is there conflicting stories as to who told MJ's kids at the hospital their dad was gone? First it was Phillips, than it was Frank, why did they need to tell them, the family was there, shouldn't they be the ones to tell the kids? VERY STRANGE–stories not adding up
People think I'm crazy thinking there was a conspiracy and I hope within the next year I don't have to eat my words, but, time will tell.
We'll see what happens to that catalogue.

I have not seen the previous Will so I do not know. And I am going to recant my previous statement. In the states that I have worked, it was standard practice to destroy the previous will and estate documents when a new Will and Estate documents were execute, so as to avoid any confusion regarding which Will was the valid document. So contrary to what TMZ has posted, there may not be a "previous valid will" in existence. It was TMZ that posted that information about reverting to the previous Will, and I in a moment of caffeine and carboyhydrate deficieny relied upon that information. I have not reviewed the California Probate Code in its entirety recently. So I will have to say, as TMZ frequently does, story developing.......

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL

Tinkerbell,

The timing of Michaels death is to coincidental. The actions of Dr. Murray are unacceptable. If this was an accident, why has he not yet spoken with the family? Murray was the last person to see Michael alive and his actions after Michael's death are suspicious. Why didn't he call 911 immediately? Why did he leave the hospital upon the arrival of the family without letting anyone know. As a professional how could he administer so many deadly drug combinations to ANY human being back to back and not expect deadly consequences? There are to many things that don't add up. I may be wrong, but I may be right!

@Marmoura

On the digital scene from Earth Song I have seen two different versions of this, that is why i wanted still me to check it out.

The 2nd version of the movie has Michael as himself standing in front of it (it doesn't change over) and in the 3rd version it changes to the digital screen. There were alot of 'changes' from the second version I saw to the 3rd version I saw of the movie.

Just plain wierd.

Marmoura,
I sure hope the person who completed her story will come back 🙂

Gene - you need to come back to the bloggy. The This Is It movie has brought us more questions. There are many mysteries to figure out. All this stuff is right up your alley of expertise. Come on Gene, we need you now more than ever!! 🙂

GENE COME BACK TO THE BLOGGY!!!

Did anyone else see this: If you spend over $500 on Sony prpoducts at Visions electronics (tv...store) you get a free This Is It DVD . That means the dvd is already out there.

Thanks Lori

Standing by :). Gene DEFINITELY needs to come back and pop some wheelies.

Pat Davis,
Murray didn't leave the hospital when the family arrived – he was there but he refused to sign the death certificate. Randy Phillips said Murray was a total mess inside the OT where they were working on MJ. LaToya said one of the kids pointed him to her and she went over to talk to him but Murray wouldn't answer her questions in a clear way.
I guess he must have taken off after that because he didn't want to talk before consulting a lawyer.

@Jessica

I haven't seen this. I have pre-ordered the DVD from the site that was listed on the laminated card that I got at the movie and it said I will be notified when it becomes available.

Kim from MN,

I'm going to see This Is It again, when I do I'll make sure that I look for the date June 5th. in that scene. I was so focused on Michael.... and his appearance.... and his health! I know there were a lot of little things I missed. I still wish the rehearsal dates were documented.

KIm

I will see it again and assess with a critical eye. Very strange.

There is a large cast of shady characters involved and they all are motivated by greed. They are all exploiting MJ by making money from his death. All the profit should go to his kids or charity. None of them should profit from his death. Not a single one, not a single. You would think they would not even want to as it makes them look really, really bad. They should all have enough integrity and respect for him to turn it down.

–

@Marmoura - yes he does! I miss Gene most of all. He was my favorite blogger. 🙂

i've seen Michael Jackson on this is it movie.. and no one else .. period..

Remember no one could ever replicate him even there's thousands of Impersonator..

His moves, his body language, his hands and his voice.. we are lucky to see him on his last bow.. dedicated to his fans..

if there's conspiracy.. then never expect the this case will resolved..
if there's not.. then focus to Dr. Murray.

speculations will remain without any strong evidence, i guess it's better to concentrate on Facts rather than Heirsay.

@Barbara: I also saw those same previews for Hugh Grant , 2012. That was in BC Canada. Nothing about the Jackson reality show..thank goodness.

Michael Jackson lives in 'This is It'

Saturday, October 31 2009

SINCE his death in June, the image we’ve had in our minds of Michael Jackson is of a man overwhelmed by drugs, with a frail body enduring a rapid and undignified decline; reeling in the after effects of plastic surgery. Jackson’s personal life, soft voice, bizarre behaviour, as well as the reported details of the state of his corpse, did not help. We heard of the phantom needle marks all over the King of Pop’s body, black marks on his legs, his peach fuzz of hair which he constantly covered with wigs, the state of his skin and his nose, claims that he penciled in his eyebrows and lips.

If you thought Jackson would not have been able to endure a 50-stint concert series, this makes you think again.

We see a side of Jackson that has rarely seen as he hones his craft and painstakingly works with those around him to get their collective output to the standard that he required. The film is in fact a long (it runs for about two hours), competently edited music video in which Jackson performs his classic hits one after the other. It works as a classic piece of entertainment, because it simply focuses on the music, trusting in the fact that Jackson and his work was genius. If you are searching for the closest substitute you could have gotten for the O2 tour, then this is it.

Here was an artiste who was in form, whatever the state of his personal life and his physical health. Although this was just rehearsal, Jackson’s voice sounds perfect; he renders “Human Nature” with a kind of alien, effortless grace that brings goose-bumps. We come away feeling like we got a better glimpse of the man’s talent. For instance, during sound checks he stops to correct a single wrong note in the band, saying wryly: “That’s why we have rehearsal.”

He warns a guitarist at one stage to “funk it up a bit”. For a complicated sequence in which he has to give a cue with a giant video screen behind him, he tells the directors he will have “to feel” the image when it rises. At one stage, he implores the band to let a pause “simmer” for a bit before resuming in order to achieve the full effect.

This was a man, then, who in his last days remained utterly attuned to his craft. His music was so integral to who he was that we feel that seeing him on stage was seeing him entirely, even though questions over his private life remain.

Going into the film, many voiced concerns over whether or not the film simply represents commercial exploitation; another chance to make money off of Jackson’s tragic death. The film will make money and is designed to make money. But it is redeemed because it serves as a fitting tribute (which is perhaps not final) to genius. Perhaps the approach, in showing this pure footage complete with only glowing personal tributes from Jackson’s crew, is correct. For only through the very things that may have contributed to his decline, could Jackson have lived and sustained his peculiar art. And it is his art that lives.

But what, ultimately, we come away with is an even deeper sense of tragedy; a sense that we were robbed of something great. Jackson may have stepped off the concert stage decades ago, but in this film, it is as though he never left.

Mila,

I must refrase myself, yes LaToya said she went to Murray and asked, "what the hell happened to my brother?" Then she said his response was, "a bunch of nothing!" Then he dissapeared! I just don't understand why he wouldn't show some type of remorse to the family. Why wouldn't he have reached out to them immediately after Michael death?

@Pat Davis....maybe Dr. Murray was as shocked as everyone else that Michael died?

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL
LOVE LIVES FOREVER

@ Pat Davis

That date would be correct. All of the Culver Studios filming was done from June 1st through June 9th. That 9 day session was for filming the "footage that is shown on the screen at the back of the concert stage." That 9 day session included the "new thriller film" and the "beautiful film that was to be played on the backscreen" while Michael perfomed Earth Song.

I know it Lori.

Maybe you can send him subliminal messages via the ether. He might hear you. 🙂

He put up with a lot of crap on these blogs. He called things out before we even saw them in the news.

@Pat Davis

"a bunch of nothing" – wow – he really said that ? What a heartless moron he must be to say something like this.

Yes he did, Marmoura. Gene knew things. I am sending him constant messages to return to us on the LKL Bloggy. I wish Larry's peeps would send Gene an email and let him know that we want him back. 🙂 Come on Gene. We need you here more than ever.

Or maybe he felt guilty and he could not face the family because he knew he was doing something reckless that killed MJ.

hi everyone

I saw someone above say some thing about culver city. Did anything happen the date that we were given? I did not hear anything about it but maybe someone did.

@jacqueline\nl, Hello how are you?

Changing subjects for a minute, I just purchased the best Michael Jackson book ever! It's called Michael Jackson-The Man In The Mirror by Tim Hill. It's a hard cover book that normally goes for around $40.00 now on sale for $10.00 at Waldenbooks. Over 250 pages of facts and photo's of Michael Jackson (mostly photos). The pictures are some of the best I've seen, from childhood to adult. It is a must have for every Michael Jackson fan. If there isn't a Waldenbooks Bookstore in your area, their website is Borders.com. The photos of Michael in this book are AMAZING!

hi tink im fine tomorow at 6.30et im goiing to see michael
YAHOOOOOOOOOOO
i cant wait

i know it sounds silly but hearing you all talk about the movie
im so exitede

typing error excited

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Don't forget the song of the day is Thriller.

Lori see you at 2300 later I got candles ,dont forget your costume.

IHUG TNO PUHALKSA

GONNA BE HARD KEEPING THE CREEPS AND PEEPS OUT TONIGHT.

In the above post about LaToya going over to Murray asking what had happened I have this to add to it. There is an interview with Dorian (voice coach or whatever his title is) and he says that when he got the news that Michael was at the hospital he called Ortega and Ortega said everything was fine and to come in for rehearsals. HUH??? If Michael is at the hospital supposedly in cardiac arrest why are you having rehearsals????

Kim from MN,

I have only one thing to say to that, WOW!

Kim,
I saw Dorian's interview live from the premiere (he a vocalist btw) and I posted twice in the blog about it – his version was very weird.

He was having lunch with his wife and he heard on TV that MJ was being rushed to the hospital.
He called Kenny and Kenny told him don't believe anything you hear and come for rehearsals.
The rehearsals were at 4 p.m. and Dorian went for that – imagine he still didn't know MJ was gone and only got to hear it on the way to the rehearsal. The whole world knew !

Another surprising thing in this story is Kenny's reaction. So we know for sure that Dorian told Kenny MJ was being rushed to the hospital. It's kind of understandable if Kenny dismissed it as a rumor at first but wouldn't he still want to put on his own TV and see what it's all about and better yet call MJ or some of his associates and check if everything was OK.
Based on Kenny's own words when he got the news of MJ's passing he was so shocked he had to make the person repeat himself many times and even called him back after the conversation just to make sure it was a genuine call.
So how come Kenny didn't get worried even one bit by the news MJ was taken to UCLA ?

@Mila

I know, this whole thing is strange.

There is another inverview with him on yutube and he says nothing about any phone call or anything, but his reactions are still odd. At times he sounds like he doesn't know what to say and his choice of words are even more odd.

And what about the interview with Kenny on the Early Show saying that him and Michael were in the editing room – remember how Kenny was at the memorial saying that a week ago Michael was right here, we were right here and Michael had already been gone for 12 days I think. Why would Michael and Kenny be in the editing room – if this was rehearsal footage you wouldn't be edting anything!

Jackon Music Will Stay at Sony, No Universal Talk
By: Roger Friedman // Tuesday October 27, 2009

Michael Jackson’s recorded music will likely stay with Sony Music.

Contrary to reports today, no one connected with Michael Jackson has any idea of talks to move Jackson’s records to Universal Music Group.

A source close to the action says of Michael’s post-2004 unreleased catalog, “There is much music.”

But how much completed music is another issue. Jackson was arrested in 2003, and endured two years of trial-related misery. It’s unknown if he was writing very much at the time.

Following his acquittal, Jackson spent a year or more abroad, in Bahrain, Ireland, and briefly in France. In Bahrain he was supposed to be recording an album for Prince Abdulla under an agreement that was never fulfilled. Following that he wrote a few songs with will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, and another with Pras of the Fugees. A few of those recordings exist for inclusion on a CD. Also, the charity single “What More Can I Give?” featuring Celine Dion and a bunch of stars has never officially been released. Sony’s Tommy Mottola refused to put it out in 2001 after Jackson recorded it.

Moving from Sony would be a problem anyway. Jackson’s estate is still a 50% owner of Sony/ATV Music Publishing. The estate has representatives on the board of directors of that company. For better or worse, Michael Jackson and Sony are a marriage with divorce a minor possibility.

very soon Michael will paid all of debits and he'll be back.. ;))

@ : },

Missed you again.....hide and seek....guess what....your it...you have the hint....you know the way......Much Love

@Anne
Thanks for another great post which reflects my first experience with This Is It. Michael still had "it" and the movie is in essence a music video, not a true documentary, IMO as well. I am thinking in the future after a trial for Michael's homicide, then more film will be released to some other up and coming documentary director and we will know really what went on at those rehearsals (behind the scenes, if they were documented, that is). I have very personal feelings about the release of the movie, but I understand reality in this capitalistic world we live in, too. Michael/Michael's Estate needed/need to make money. It is sad, but it is true. The very bright spot with the release of the movie and a pleasant surprise to the media, it seems, is that Michael really shines and he is portrayed as the consummate professional and everything good that we all knew him to be is caught by the camera. For my first sitting, I was mesmerized. I think I needed to be mesmerized where I have been emotionally with dealing with Michael's death. I want to see it again and to try and not get caught up in Michael's abilitiy to take us places. I did see some things that were unsettling and back up my beliefs about what happened to Michael. The sadness, yes, is that this did not have to happen, but so many aspects of Michael's life would have had to be put in such an order to go back and correct or help that it would have been a long and arduous process. Unfortunately and very sadly, no one, let me repeat, no one, wanted to take their valuable time to personally take the man by the hand and physically take him to get help. I am stil angry about that.

I was just looking online and discovered the movie is not making as much as Sony had predicted. In the US it made $7.3 Wed., $3.7 Thurs. and $7.9 Friday. It will make much more internationally but not get the $250 million in 5 days they had predicted.

I know in my heart that MJ would feel violated by this film being released and want us to remember him from his History Tour. I know that he would not want AEG Sony to make money from his death. BUT the critics are really praising him in this film in a way that they may have never done before and so the greater good is to his legacy despite everything else. Music critics and movie critics are calling him a musical genius. Wonderful things are being said about him. It is tragic that he had to die for this to happen. But at least the film is making a very positive effect on his legacy that we can be grateful for. And it is making people realize all that we have lost in his death.

CAROL at 31st oct 8.35p.m. ET,

Thank you for sharing that information with us. Most of what is stated there has already crossed my mind since I watched the movie on wednesday and friday. I have recognised that a lot of the extravaganza scenes which we were made to believe were going to be present in that documentary were there only in a limited extend. The only scenes, which I saw as spectular in TII was the thriller clip with all those brides and bridegrooms ghosts flying on top of the stage and the whole ghost scene. Secondly was the smooth criminal scene which surprisedly to me looked like a live scene which was pieced together with a scene from some old movie...... anyway, I ask myself then what was spectacular about it. Apart from that, most of the scenes I would say were basically pieced together without anything special if not for the man himself MJ, who is the most special. Could it be true then that all those few special scenes added up to those massive costs which were said to have escalated to around $22 million. To me, it doesnt make sense at all that the whole scenerio from TII could have costed so much money.

JANICE at 31st oct 12.52 p.m. ET,

I always read your comments and I like the way you analyse your points. I agree with what you say and this is exactly what I also recognised. Actually I watched the movie with a friend of mine yesterday who is also a regular blogger in these blogs, and I remember how we sat after the movie and discussed about it, with the most interesting being the fact that MJ looked on two or three occassions from the scenes quite unhappy, especially where he was complaining of the sound being like pushed through his ears. There is also another scene where MJ was talking to KO and Ortega kept asking him if there is any other thing that he wish them to do. It seemed like a situation where they were trying to make him feel better or more happy, but quite clearly he was more than unhappy at that moment.

AMEN!

hi lora how are you

@Sandy-H
thanks for our earlier post. You will immensely enjoy the movie. That is hard to understand, but amid all the tears I did shed, there was incredible joy to see him at work, doing what he was born to do. There is no doubt whatsoever that Michael Jackson was the greatest entertainer in the world. We lost a treasure. I am glad you had the chance to go to the concert. Music is therapeutic, indeed.

@MourningMJ
I hope you will see this as I may not post anymore today or tomorrow until very late. I want to send you off tomorrow for your time with Michael with God speed. Revel in it, MMJ, and soak it in. Do not look too closely, just allow Michael to be with you. I know you and he have a very special relationship. Just remember that and know you are being given a gift.

Hi everybody on the blog,..... how are you all doing this Halloween weekend ???

@ cocvelvet Hello How are you?

Hello everyone! Did anyone think about the possible significance of that huge black widow spider in the thriller clip? And how is it used on the stage?

Just read this about the spider: "Did you know? Black widow spiders are considered the most venomous spiders in North America. In humans, bites produce muscle aches, nausea, and a paralysis of the diaphragm that can make breathing difficult .."

Ough ... difficult breathing ... ? Reminds you of something?

Good evening everybody 🙂
Hiiiiii Coco, dear!

I was away from the blogs for several days.......... missed u guys!

But in the meantime I made a wonderful experience – I had the big pleasure to meet one of the regulars bloggers personally for the movie and a lot more! Yesterday evening I watched the TII documentary with Cocovelvet. I was happy to have somebody by my side who feels exactly the same as I do. I was terribly excited about the movie and I was squeezing her arm all the time.
After 111 minutes of watching MJ I felt kind of paralyzed and very sad. I had difficulties to put in words what I felt.

Thank u Coco for the great time and discussions you shared with me!

Anne,

I LOVE YOU POSTS !!!

You have my kind of humor.

CULPRITS just trying to be careful with my opinion. I've been watching 48 hours show and I think that they could help solve the mistery of Michael's death and find out who should be arrested. Thank you everyone and, as Michael said, GOD BLESS YOU AND I LOVE YOU ALL.

Hi Eli 🙂

Allure and Coco how wonderful for both of you.

How is everyone tonight.

It's close to midnight something evils lurking in the dark!

Be safe tonight.

Evening all

Allure & Coco,how wonderful you two met. I said the other night I wish we could all see the movie together.

Be safe tonight all.

sorry double posts

Hi Judie!
yes it was really great! Good idea seeing the movie all together.

Are u preparing for tonight? Here in my area they do not celebrate Halloween, unfortunately. But once I had the chance to make the Halloween experience in Santa Barbara, CA, and it is unforgettable

Hi everyone,

To answer your questions about the post: No it wasnt me who spoke to the crew from this is it. I found this post on another board.

I found this post quite interesting to be honest....all this time I have been thinking that reports about AEG, Kenny and Co had been exaggerated and even thought the girls from This is not it were doubtful but after reading that post and watching the movie 3 times everything is becoming clear.
There was always something about Randy Phillip that I never liked....not sure what it was...but now more than ever I think he and the rest never had Michael's best interest....it was always about the show....poor Michael everyone always wanted soooo much from him....and the Michael the showman from years ago was not there...I truly think part of Michael's soul died during the 2005 trial, so many people have said that from Aprodite Jones, to Randy Taraborelli and even this crew from This is it whom had worked with Michael for over 20 years. This is so sad 😦 I honestly have to say that I havent been able to think about the whole thing sincc reading that post last night.....and the saddest part is that according to this crew member Michael died so stressed out by everyone :"(

I do believe in justice and I hope all these people pay for directly or indirectly causing Michael's death.

As soon as I get more info I will post it here.

@Allure,yes we are going out with my grandkids. My one grandson has the flu,he is not happy. Halloween is big here in the US.And you know Michael loved Halloween also.

Kim from MN
That was the date, I believe. I went and saw it a second time (but at the same theater cuz between dropping my daughter off at work there and Halloween stuff tonight I didn't want to travel down to Dallas).
It was on the monitor screen.

And I stayed to the very, very end this time and saw the clip everyone has been talking about here. Wow. To read about it is one thing, but to hear/see it, with him saying "in (or was it "on"?) my own time" does make one go "hmmmm". Pretty sure that unless people read about it online, not a whole lot of people will see it cuz, as others have said, it is soooooooo far afterwards. I coulda been out in my car leaving the parking lot by the time it came on the screen (least it felt that way).

LOL, my daughter rolled her eyes at me when saw me being the last to leave, she just happened to be one of the workers just outside the door of the theater it was in when I finally left, she knew why I was in there so long cuz I had asked her about it earlier...

I have found the REAL ambulance photo.....the one we all saw is FAKE.

I love you Michael. Were are You?

I noticed while watching the Thriller video on MTV that they digitally lighten his skin.

Carol,

It does make Michael's death even harder to deal with knowing that he was under such emotional stress. That seemed to be the story of his life, and for him to die not totally happy/complete makes his death even more heartbreaking. God Bless You Michael, God Bless Your Beautiful Soul.

Hi everybody.I agree with the peaples,who say murder.I dont think Ortega is one of the bad guys,but form the 2 big company some peaples are.
My heart is so borken now,i cant exept after the movie,Michael is dead.I dont think,in the movie was any hint.I was see,what peaples talking about,and i think,thay just se things that way how thay whant to see.

TXmom,and everybody.I couldnt hear in the end what he said.Did he say,was it on?What that mean?I dont gat it.What he said more?I dont know,i just couldnt hear it clear,what things he said.The movie was olmost full,and only David,me,and 0ne more man was vait to the end.

Did you all enjoy watching americas top rated murder?

@Anne
OMG...that picture is so sad given what has happened..their last Halloween together :< :<

@Tonites the night for beasts to crawl
As spiders hang from your wall
For ghosts to say HELLO to you
As witches make there special brew
When things unseen soon become clear
It only happens this time of year
So grab a seat and buckle up
I wish you peace and of course good luck

@ : ) i hope you are well? I believe !!!! And Love you!!!!
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Carol

yes your today's posts are very interesting. You just confirm the very strange feelings I had after having seen the movie last night, the feelings I was not able to put in words.
Thank u for these posts and for keeping us updated!

Elisabeth,this is the first time i see the ambulance picture with curly hair.Are you sure,the left is not made by the old picture?

Mila,

Dr. Murray didn't accually say, "a bunch of nothing", in response to LaToya asking him what happened to Michael. That was her interpertaion of his answer. She said the doctor mumbled some words to her that made no sense then she referred to what he said was "a bunch of nothing!"

Can somebody help me ,what he said in the end of the movie after the letters gon?I was woch it,but i couldnt hear it...

Hello Mila

Hi Stu
I thougth exactly the same............

The cleaning girl came,and she was exactly behinde me makeing somuch noise with the papers.I was son angry.

Allure,about the movie?Or about the killers?

Stu,

Did you enjoy the movie? It left me feeling sad all over again. I saw it on Wednesday, and there were probably 20 people in the theater. I'm going to see it one more time befor its gone. That concert would have been one the biggest stage productions ever! Someone didn't want that to happen, that's why I beleive Michael was killed, someone didn't want him to make any more music history. Its so sad.

Does anyone know if the," This Is It" movie will be out in dvd?

Hi All,

I went to see the movie today. Michael blew me away with his performance. Watching the genius at work was incredible.

I was also touched by his professional attitude when dealing with the crew. He made them feel like they were contributing to something great. Kenny Ortega was always professional towards Michael... They all admired Michael....

I know that some people are against the movie, but Michael deserves to have a positive light shine on him.

Thank you Michael for giving us so much.............. I love you and God Bless you........

please please please,somebody help me!!!!!!!! 😕
I was speachely waited to the end,and i didnt gat to know,whet he said,couse that stupid cleaning person had to makeing somuch noise exactly behinde my ear.I will cray,if i will not gat to know,what it was.

I mean i cant believe

I'm gonna thrill ya tonight
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'alls neighborhood

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see

Night creatures calling, the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time
They're open wide
This is the end of your life

Stu

Sorry, I was talking about Elisabeth's post with the pictures.

Regarding the last words of the movie..... I will pay attention next Monday when I will see the movie for the second time and I'll let u know.

Hi Katrina, Ohio
it was said here in the blogs that the DVD will be released by the end of the year.

:} Are you a poet because that was very nice poetry!!!!

@Everyone

Hope you're having a Happy Halloween!

L.O.V.E

@Brittani

I miss you dearly. Hope you're well.

L.O.V.EU

Thank you for letting me know ALLURE!!!

^&::P::E::A::C::E::^& on this frightful night!

:} You never answered my question if you are a poet or not?

:} = Bob$

Happy Halloween!

And now I'm reaching back
And I'm trying to make things right
And through my past I've gained a deeper sight
I'm less than proud of what I've done
But I know I've got to change
Somehow I know it's only just begun
Begun to change it's all on me
There's no one else to take the blame
But I'm still caught up in this game

Katrina, I'm not a poet. I'm just wasted right now lol.

:} You should write poetry because it seems to me you have a natural talent for it. I would know because I write poetry myself!

:} That was very good. MJPT yours was good as well!

@MJPYT

I am well. How are you?

I will reveal myself soon
Maybe when there's a full moon
But even if I do
I will still probably feel blue
blue why
because I will still feel pain deep inside

:}
Silence is all I need
It comforts me and brings me hope
I have faith in it to never let me down
Silence is all I need

You may not understand or
Have the patience to begin to
Reach out
You may be unable to hear me
But I'm crying out loud for some help
I'm screaming out loud for your hand
I need your help right here and now
Can't you hear me shouting loud

MJ YOU ROCK MY SOCKS I beLIEve SMILE IM WASTED TO

@**MJ**

IM sorry to hear your feeling pain
but pain lets you know your alive

Yes, I'm crying oh so much louder
Trying to tell that Earth is dying so much quicker
My life is fading be-fore my eyes
I can't seem to save it at all

Can't you hear me? I speak so loud.
I wait for you to call me out
You don't know but I need your help
I'm trying to figure out...
So I scream a little louder....
But still....

MJ YOU ROCK MY SOCKS I beLIEve SMILE

There was a king who loved Halloween, He waited each year for this scary scene.He sneaked out to hang on his door,black bats and witches and spookes and galore.The midnight hour was his favorite time,with monsters covering snakes in slime.As twelve o'clock chimed through the stars,he opened up his snickers bars.

@ :} Don't be afraid of tonight, we are here with you !
(you really got cought up in this game, aren't you? )
Could you switch to a more optimistic register please?
The last posting might be perfect for Holloween but it's ... depressing 😦
(I can only hope it was just meant for Holloween, and you are not indeed feeling that way ...)
It's all about love, remember? 🙂

so much Holloween poetry here tonight ...

Candy I am not afraid nor am I sad

Tonight is the night
When dead leaves fly
Like witches on switches
Across the sky,
When elf and sprite
Flit through the night
On a moony sheen.

Tonight is the night
When leaves make a sound
Like a gnome in his home
Under the ground,
When spooks and trolls
Creep out of holes
Mossy and green

Tonight is the night
When pumpkins stare
Through sheaves and leaves
Everywhere,
When ghouls and ghost
And goblin host
Dance round their queen
It's Halloween

There's a goblin at my window,
A monster by my door.
The pumpkin at my table
Keeps on smiling more and more.
There's a ghost who haunts my bedroom,
A witch whose face is green.
They used to be my family,
Till they dressed for Halloween.

Hello **mj**

I've never spoken to you...but I have a question. I know you are not Michael Jackson but I am believer that he is still alive. Apparently, you think he is still alive, too, or you would not be pretending to be him??

I have great reason to think MJ is alive and that is based on about 50 different things that I have concluded to be true. But one obvious question is, why does MJ have THREE death certificates, with THREE different bar codes, and on all of them any PERTINENT information spaces are BLACKED OUT and all three of them have a watermark that reads "INFORMATIONAL" "NOT A VALID DOCUMENT TO ESTABLISH IDENTITY".

I have looked up many celebrity death certificates including Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Anna Nicole Smith, among others and nothing is blacked out or omitted on their death certificates except for their SS# and none of their death certificates have a watermark that says "INFORMATIONAL" "NOT A VALID DOCUMENT TO ESTABLISH IDENTITY".

Come on, tell us your thoughts!

:} WOW deep thought.

than is all good, :}
cause ....
The Zombies are having fun, the party has just begun.
The guests include Wolfman, Dracula and his Son.
🙂

VICTORIA J & MOURNING MJ
OK, I'M going to see it tomorrow afternoon. And Victoria I'm going to try to take your advice and focus on this as Michael's gift. The majic of his music and dance. All the other stuff will be the subject of many discussions later on this blog. MOURNING MJ-I will be thinking of you. I just didn't think I could wait
until next week to see this. Thanks for

Hello and happy Halloween to you! the old evil witch is back 🙂

I went again at 10pm here and yes, I saw very much things I didn't see before!

IF ANYONE DOESN'T LIKE SPOILER, DON'T GO AHEAD READING 🙂
------------------
First of all, STU – I saw the credits and the aftercredits twice (they let us go in earlier meanwhile the others leaving). If I remember well, Michael said something like this:
"There should be a pause at this point. Button my shirt or jacket or whatever. (...) I will come on (in?) on my own time"
Sorry, you know english is not my language and I may remember wrong. The part (,..) is just hidden in my mind, perhaps it shows up later.

Now, I want to thank you all for the blog today, I was reading it for hours before going to the cinema and it helps me a lot! I saw the differences on stage and with Michael and a lot of little details. But I didn't see little Prince

There were questions I try to respond:
Kenny and Michael in the editing room together. Perhaps it's referring to the movies done for the show? Thriller, Gilda and Earth Song? Think it was what we saw there. No mistery for me.

Thriller and the spider: It was planned, the spider came down the stage with Michael inside, I saw legs walking under it. He or a stunt, I cannot tell. Strange cuts there.

The bulldozer, also strange cuts but it came from under the stage-bridge. Seemed to me, it was quite fast and Michael could not have been there. They cutted fast to the next scene with him in front of the bulldozer.

Another thing: leaving the cinema to get my car on the seaside... there was the full moon over the sea and all was calm there. I felt some kind of peace and I noticed just a little cloud near the moon. Sure, there was Michael hiding and smiling.

Ok, I'm crazy but I told you, I am an old crazy witch : )

@ oh its play game.This is very sick .

@ Stu..........no. The pic on the left is the same picture as the one on the right. They used a different face of MJ for the pic on the right. Everything else is the exact same. Look at the breathing tube (the blue thing on his face) in both pics. SAME. The only thing different is the face. The pic on the right is FAKE courtesy of the left picture. PHOTOSHOP ..

@ : ) i hope you are well.Happy Halloween.

silvercircle I'm well,just drunk.

What I heard Michael say in the clip at the end of the movie (or like 7-10 minutes after the movie is over) is this...I've seen it three times...

"just let me bathe (some people hear the word "breathe", I hear "bathe") in my own time when I come back in. I'll button my shirt, straighten my jacket, play with 'em a little while, then snap my fingers and then be like BAM!"

@ : ) i m happy that you are well. Much love!!!!

:} I take it alot of people think you are sad. Your not right? Just wasted?

Hi Mj Hi :} how are you both??
I beLIEve in you Micheal love now and all ways xoxoxox

Katrina I've just had too much to drink yes.

@ : )
Please, pay attention to you. I wish completely a lot joke!!!

@:}

The cedars standing straight and tall
Are fencing with the wind
Whistling low their war cry
Before the battle begins.

A mighty wind fights with the clouds
Shakes moans from trees in fright
Machine gun lightening bullets the earth
Making day out of night

Then like fierce ocean waves
Big droplets pour around
While cedars, praying for relief
Bow heads near to the ground

They strive against the onslaught
Of weather’s stormy raid
Cedars army in formation
Endures the wrath that nature made.
