The 'Official Grammys' Thread

[jessy_mjj]

I asked Raymone Bain about a possible participation by Michael to the Grammy Awardds ceremony. Here's her reply:

Dear Gessica,

The discussions are on-going.

Best.
Raymone K. Bain

[moonstreet]

nooooooooo, me wants to see Michael but dont have money to go to grammys, Michael dear please just hop on a plane and get yourself to London asap, Harrods sale is still on I think.........

[MissWorld]

On-going? As in he hasn't decided whether he's going or not?

[Diana999]

it would take place in USA?

[moonstreet]

yes the grammys are being held in the Staple Centre in LA on Feb 10

[Javan]

I think he'll show up, and probably even perform. It would be good promotion for the "Thriller 25" album. Plus...show the world he still got it.

[TomV87]

Thank You for that Jess :)

At least it isnt a NO

[JMoonwalker88]

time to save up for tickets just incase lol. this should be interesting to see. IF he was there, i think maybe he will come out n sing one song. or maybe even like just give a lil speech about something I DUNNO. but im mad that when im NOT at the staples center he MIGHT be there. i have the worst timing lol

[Lindsay]

*smells jealousy* :lol:

and yes, I think this is a great opportunity for him :yes:

[Shineyteeth]

:hmm: I hope he turns up.... and does something atleast...

But ya never know with Mike.

Thanks for posting!

[JMoonwalker88]

maybe he will go in disguise and be an audiance member the whole time and no one would know.....................:lol: that would be funny

[BrOkEn BaRbiE]

Feck I need 2 grand.. like.. NOW!! :crazylol:

[MissWorld]

I don't think he'll perform if he goes.

[BrOkEn BaRbiE]

^^ Me either

[bexy]

well he has only got 12 days to go to decide either way :lol: personally i can see him going but i doubt he will perform if they are still discussing it, it means that he hasnt even started rehersals etc meh i guess we will find out soon enough

and i agree with barbie and moonstreet a) i wish i had a spare £2000 and b) i wish he would get his butt back to london :toofunny:

[dangerousbadgirl]

Thanx Jessy, glad to see you here :happy:

[BrOkEn BaRbiE]

The tickets are like £600 :eek: Then like £500 for flight... £200 for hotel :lol: Then food.. car :lol: eeep!!!

:lol: Yah!

I just don't believe these "emails" lol... they are too easy to fake! Yano!

Jessy is a reliable source, so don't worry about :no2: .

[BrOkEn BaRbiE]

^^ Yah I mean I'm not saying they ain't but I only have ure word for it yano! :lol:

Alot of people seem to be getting emails these days and my point is just that it's not as reliable as we think unless we know the person personally

[Javan]

Everyone has her email address, you don't have to block it.

Raymone gave it to me herself, when I called her office, she told me I could email her anytime.

[suspicious_mind]

Thanks for the update - even tho she was really vague in the email about it :lol:
Im sure hes already decided whether or not hes gonna be there - its really close and they set those things up wayyy in advance.
I actually doubt he will be there at all.


And Jessy im glad you deleted the email address of hers - not everyone needs to have it. Im sure she gets bombarded with questions enough already as it is.

[MJ's_daughter]

Everyone has her email address, you don't have to block it.

I don't :eek:

That doesn't matter if he will perform or not [it would be nice tho]. I just want to see him again. You know...maybe only on screen, but whatever :lol: :wub: I don't have at least 600 pounds, sorry :lol:

[ennazus]

I hope he attends! (: At least it isn't a no! It'll be great to see him again!

[jessy_mjj]

wow.... what a grateful welcome... :brow: ... sorry, but i really don't feel you want my upadtes here so i guess this was my first and last post here...

well, since you don't know me, you probably don't know that i've been in direct contact with Michael's staff since 1998. Bob Jones first, then Evvy Tavasci, Mike Kobayashi, Stuart Backerman, Karen Faye (we still talk to each other through skype), Taunya Zilkie and now Raymone Bain. Bob made me meet Michael in Monte-Carlo and took me on a tour at the MJJ productions studios when they were situated in sunset blvd where I could touch with my own hand the Grammies Michael won with Thriller. Evvy gave me the tickets for the first front row at the Madison Square Garden sept. 7th 2001 concert, Taunya had Michael recording an audio message for the party I organized with Sony Music for the Italian launch of The Ultimate Collection... that's just something about me. :grin:

:eek: Wow. You're beyond lucky at this point.

Thank you for the email. :happy: It really is good that she hasn't denied it, as that still gives us hope! Please don't take our wariness as an insult, it's just that not everyone knows every fan and their experiences, and as you probably already know, Michael's got a few kooks for fans.

[EsaAngel]

She cool to have that type of contect, with Michaels fans some of them are not as kooks as we may think,just have to read more careful,some can be real when we lease expect.

[tinker*bell]

Hhmmm... :hmm:
On-going discussions...

That's not a yes and not a no. Smart answer! :lol2:

I guess we'll just have to wait, then. Two more weeks guys!! :crazylol:

[dangerousbadgirl]

Guys an Italian fan won a competition Mtv Italy made today at Milan studios :crazylol:. He can fly with a friend to LA and see the Grammy Awards thanx to Mtv! Also Mtv said if MJ will be there, this fan could meet him :yes: !!! The name of the guy is Andrea (username: mjht) from www.mjj.it/forum (http://www.mjj.it/forum) CONGTRATULATIONS :grin:

[I Will Be There]

i think that he will go and he will perform :yes:
reason - she didn't say no! :) it's not that long till the grammy's and i'm sure that he would have decided whether he will perform or not since he's got to plan his performance etc. but she didn't straight out say yes cuz then it'll ruin the surprise :)
well just my theory anyway!! :laugh:

[EsaAngel]

lol well have to see when the time comes, as always.

[Jellz]

Wooo! So there is some hope. :D I'll cross my fingers for this one.:grin:

[tinker*bell]

I don't think he is going

Yeah, me too!
My intuition is saying he won't go... :unsure:

But pleeeease let me be proven wrong! :lol2:

[Javan]

Hes going. It all makes sense. MILLIONS watch the grammys. AND it's TWO days before thriller 25 is released. GREAT promotion.

[tinker*bell]

Hes going. It all makes sense. MILLIONS watch the grammys. AND it's TWO days before thriller 25 is released. GREAT promotion.

I really hope so! :yes:

[mjgrl4ever]

Hes going. It all makes sense. MILLIONS watch the grammys. AND it's TWO days before thriller 25 is released. GREAT promotion.

exactly:yes:
plus at least Raymone didnt say no...so thats good.
mannnn if michael shows up its gonna be crazy:crazylol:......I cant wait, I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited if this turns out to be true:wub:

[RebeccaMJ]

So Raymone pretty much left us still wondering, lol.

I hope he goes. :unsure:

[BrOkEn BaRbiE]

I think he'll go. :)

[Wesley]

He SHOULD go. Even if he just sat in the audience all night and didn't even set foot on stage, sales of Thriller would still go up.

[Grey Blue Eyes]

I don't think he'll perform if he goes.

Me neither. But it would be cool if does :drool:

[blacknimproud]

He SHOULD go. Even if he just sat in the audience all night and didn't even set foot on stage, sales of Thriller would still go up.
___________

I believe that. :yes:

[Lindsay]

Hes going. It all makes sense. MILLIONS watch the grammys. AND it's TWO days before thriller 25 is released. GREAT promotion.
doubbbbt it. really, really do :mellow:

[Dona77]

I hope this is true it would be great to see Michael at the Grammy just two days before the release of the new edition of thriller. Who knows maybe he could even surprise us and perform on stage....

[annaliese]

I just want him to appear :) I don't care if he doesn't perform, I just want him to get all the CD sales and love he deserves.

[Michael Jackson's wife]

Hes going. It all makes sense. MILLIONS watch the grammys. AND it's TWO days before thriller 25 is released. GREAT promotion.

4real :yes:
Just picturing him...my god:drool::wub:

[Stranger]

Man Mj should just bust on stage, do the zombie dance from Thriller and walk off. People will get excited...and so easy a grandma could do it!

Michael Jackson at the Grammy Awards: Gotta glove it!

Tuesday, February 5th 2008, 4:00 AM

Michael Jackson will appear on the 50th anniversary Grammy Awards show, we hear, but he has vowed not to perform.

The Gloved One appears to have won a stare-down with the Grammy-givers at the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. For weeks, show producer Ken Ehrlich has been mulling the idea of marking the 25th anniversary of Jackson's "Thriller" album with a revue that would feature guest stars from his rereleased blockbuster, which drops two days after the Feb. 10 broadcast.

The medley number would include Will.i.am (on "The Girl Is Mine"), Fergie (on "Beat It"), and possibly Kanye West (on "Billie Jean") and Akon (on "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'").

Ehrlich said he'd do the tribute only if Jackson sang and danced, say insiders. "Michael can't go along with that," says a source. "He needs more time to rehe**** new versions of the songs. And everything requires new choreography."

Now, we hear, Ehrlich has agreed to having Jackson just appear onstage - apparently believing viewers will tune in just to see what Jackson looks like now.

Grammy reps and Jackson spokeswoman Lois Najarian didn't get back to us. But word is Jackson is saving his moves for a show where he'll make some money - a "Thriller" TV special and a series of concerts.

[Captain3o]

If Michael performed or something that would be incredible. Keeping us in suspense for a new album and so called "world tour" :dry:. Give us something Mike, we're starving.

MICHAEL JACKSON - JACKSON WON'T SING AT GRAMMYS

Click for the MICHAEL JACKSON Gallery

Pop superstar MICHAEL JACKSON will appear at the Grammy Awards on Sunday (10Feb08) - but he won't be singing at the ceremony. Jackson was rumoured to be attending the Los Angeles bash to promote a 25th anniversary re-release of his seminal album Thriller, and organisers were keen for the star to duet on hits from the LP with a number of contemporary performers, including Will.I.Am, Akon, Kanye West and Fergie. But Jackson - who hasn't performed live in seven years - was reluctant to take on such a big project at short notice. A source tells the New York Post, "Michael can't go along with that. He needs more time to rehe**** new versions of the songs. And everything requires new choreography." The Post reveals that Grammy producer Ken Ehrlich backed down and consented for Jackson to just appear onstage.

[Wesley]

i'll still be watching with my fingers crossed for some sort of MJ participation

[EsaAngel]

I do not mind at all if he dose not sing, I am ok with anything he dose for sure.
What ever makes him happy.

[Invincible J]

I think there will be a tribute performance. A speech talking about how much Thriller changed the world complete with video montage and MJ will do a speech also.

[Sasha01]

Well we have a few days to find out. :D 5 days. :highspeed:

:mad: @ these stupid comments...







Anyway, he could perform or not. But he's bound to do something.
I don't see him going there for nothing... He didn't go to that award thingy in France, and he was supposed to receive an award! Why would he attend the Grammys just for the sake of it?? :hmm:

Anyway, now the Grammys sounds like a must-see!! :grin:
Mike!! :wub:

[Magical_Child]

Has anyone else seen the rumours that Michael has sent a video message to the Grammy's and will not be preforming :huh:

[BrOkEn BaRbiE]

^^ Where did you hear that?

I think he'll be there but there is no way he will perform. Not yet.

[Magical_Child]

I was reading another MJ message board and one fan said his uncle works at the Grammy Association and his uncle confirmed that MJ will not be performing at the Grammys and MJ is not scheduled to attend. He said MJ sent an acceptance video.

^^^^^^

Its been posted on another board :yes: Taken from someone called fanofthriller

[mj_uk]

It's cool that he's attending for his award, it don't matter if he's not singing but it would be nice to hear something!! :lol: oh well!! :(

[Invincible J]

I think he'll be there! :D

[Dangerous2000watts]

Isn't Raymone on her vacation?

[MissWorld]

They just said on MTV that Michael would be there, but not perform, so hopefully he will be there

[RoseMJ]

I hope he would go and have a great time there!!! :happy:

[Dancing the Dream]

Even if he's not performing, it's still great if he's gonna be there :D Do they show the Grammy's on TV in the UK, i can't remember :unsure:....

Just out of interest,how do you get Raymone's contact? :brow:

[Sasha01]

Can't wait. :lol::D:eek:

So two of my faves are going to be there, MJ and Prince, and both aren’t performing…supposedly. This is just too hard to cope with, what a tease! :lol:

[I Will Be There]

So two of my faves are going to be there, MJ and Prince, and both aren’t performing…supposedly. This is just too hard to cope with, what a tease! :lol:

he's gonna do SOMETHING, at least a speech, he can't just stand on the stage and watch or be in the audience!! :eek:

[MissWorld]

I know perezhilton sucks ass, but sometimes they get their stories right. It said that Michael was NOT gonna attend the grammy's after all, is that true? I really hope he goes.

[jackson5]

It's tiring to hear he will or he won't and maybe or yes...I wish there was a actual confirmation one way or another regardless. The last I heard he was doing a video conferencing acceptance speech. Go figure:wink:

[MissWorld]

I'm sorry, but when were the grammys again? The 10th, right?

[RebeccaMJ]

^Yup, the 10th. I just checked on my TV.

[Who's Bad?]

I know perezhilton sucks ass, but sometimes they get their stories right. It said that Michael was NOT gonna attend the grammy's after all, is that true? I really hope he goes.

Haha yes, Perez certainly does suck, which in turn makes it suckier that like, his stories are so often true.

Anyway, all I've heard about so far is a Thriller tribute. I'm excited to see what it is :D

[MissWorld]

^Yup, the 10th. I just checked on my TV.

Cool. Thanks :)

some one over on mjjc just posted this: "My sources just confirmed that MJ won't be there, but will be sending a holographic image of himself to appear on stage

[MJsPYT1362]

Still no MJ..I'm watching it Live..no MJ yet.

[tinker*bell]

Still no MJ..I'm watching it Live..no MJ yet.


Do you still think he will be attending? Or are you talking 'bout the Tribute?

[MJsPYT1362]

Do you still think he will be attending? Or are you talking 'bout the Tribute?

Both. :laugh: I dont see either so yeah..

[tinker*bell]

Oh... the waiting... :unsure:

[ennazus]

Yeah. No MJ so far =.=

And there seems to be no mention of the tribute. I mean, we know there are performances from Beyonce, Tina Turner, Amy Winehouse etc from the little ads before the break, simply just no mention for a tribute performance.

Maybe they are saving the best for the last?

[Gypsy]

That holographic crap is funny! Lollllllllllllllllllllllllll

[DANGEROUS-x]

I reckon somethings gonna happen at the end... gah the grammys aren't being showed here till later tonight! :(

[ennazus]

^ I hope they do. So far the only MJ related thing I seen so far, is Kanye West singing one of his songs (I think it is Stronger) mentioning MJ. LOL.

[Thrillerchick3]

Yeah the only thing that was mentioned of Michael was the song Kanye West sang after singing "Stronger". I guess they are saving the best for last..

[Lindsay]

Was there even a mention of a tribute from the Grammy's (either in commercial or tv)?? Or did the fans or whoever make that up too? :( :sleep:

[Thrillerchick3]

Was there even a mention of a tribute from the Grammy's (either in commercial or tv)?? Or did the fans or whoever make that up too? :( :sleep:

The video for the Grammys showed Michael and said that there were gonna do a tribute...

[ennazus]

f7tEOz7zk5A

This commercial promoted the all star tribute to MJ. I think they are really saving the best for the last. Hopefully. :wink:

[Lindsay]

^^See, I remember hearing about that and watching that too. I can't see Akon doing it all by himself..but..meh. :mellow:

[ennazus]

I think Ne Yo is doin something as well - singing Lady in My Life, if I'm not wrong.

[tambam89]

Beat It was starting to play when Will I Am was on stage and I got excited, but then he just stopped and walked off. :(

[Lindsay]

chatbox guys.. :crazylol:

[ennazus]

Beat It was starting to play when Will I Am was on stage and I got excited, but then he just stopped and walked off. :(

Exactly. Then Usher and Quincy came on! I thought they were gonna do some intro and just go into the tribute!

[MJsMyLove]

Ugh, I was so expecting a tribute. my night is officially ruined :(

[MJsPYT1362]

Nothing...Nothing...Nothing.
This is screwed up.

[Rawr]

BULLSH*T

F*CKING BULLSH*T

[MJsMyLove]

And they Gave three other people tributes.........I mean WTF? They basically used us, to get veiwers. Thats the only reason I tuned in!!

[Thrillerchick3]

Ooooo the Grammys SUCK!!!!!!!!!
I'm so freakin maddddd right now!!!!!!!
Whatever happened to the tribute???

Yeah same thing when Will.I.Am came on I was like YES!! the tribute and got more excited when I heard Beat It and it never came on. So then Usher and Quincy came on and I was like oh well maybe they're doing it...NOPE...NOTHING...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

[tambam89]

Exactly. Then Usher and Quincy came on! I thought they were gonna do some intro and just go into the tribute!

I thought Michael was going to walk on stage and they were going to do Beat It together. Ah, wishful thinking.

[MJsMyLove]

Question: My friend Told me that it was Mike that backed out the last second? What do you guys think?

[Lindsay]

And they Gave three other people tributes.........I mean WTF? They basically used us, to get veiwers. Thats the only reason I tuned in!!
to what?? To sell more music/albums? See, that makes no sense. I don't think this was for ratings. I HIGHLYYY doubt that because they can get a LOT of crap from fans and people for doing that. And using his name to get ratings..erm.. NO. I don't think so. That's just wrong. I don't think the Grammys'd do that. :no2:

It still hasn't reached the last 10 mins here, yet. It's got about half an hour left..

BTW: The grammy's are highly respected by entertainers, fans, and people world wide..... they won't use his name just to attract his fans only to turn them around and piss them off. Nope.

[mc from MJNO]

Well the show is over and there was no Thriller tribute. I don't if they used us but I can tell what they did was really misleading and false advertisement.

[MJsMyLove]

t And using his name to get ratings..erm.. NO. I don't think so. That's just wrong. I don't think the Grammys'd do that. :no2:


No, I meant they had a commercial for the tribute, So of course us Mj fans were gonna tune in, Just for it.

[Thrillerchick3]

Well the show is over and there was no Thriller tribute. I don't if they used us but I can tell what they did was really misleading and false advertisement.

I dito that....I had high hopes about that tribute AND about Michael possibly showing up...:(

[Lindsay]

No, I meant they had a commercial for the tribute, So of course us Mj fans were gonna tune in, Just for it.
because one was planned :yes:

[MJsMyLove]

Well the show is over and there was no Thriller tribute. I don't if they used us but I can tell what they did was really misleading and false advertisement.


Thats exactly How i feel:happy:

[Thrillerchick3]

I wonder what happened and why they didn't show it!

[Sasha01]

LOL I wonder too, but anyway I have contacted them, sent an email @ MusiCares@grammy.com, hopefully we'll get answer or some kind of response! :mellow: They advertised it through commercial and everything! :ohmy: Ahhhh. :sleep:

[DANGEROUS-x]

What f*cking bull.

I'm so dissapointed?

[Thrillerchick3]

What f*cking bull.

I'm so dissapointed?

Exactly what I was thinking Mya....

Ooooo thanks...yeah I wanna see what the deal was....:mad:

[Dangerous2000watts]

I just came back and it seems it sucked huh?
That's why Michael didn't attend it, cause he knew it would suck

[Thrillerchick3]

I just came back and it seems it sucked huh?
That's why Michael didn't attend it, cause he knew it would suck

But if he did attend...he would've made it SOOOO much better...:yes:

[DarkPassion]

They have Prince there, but no MJ? Come on Grammy people -_-

[Lindsay]

I just came back and it seems it sucked huh?
That's why Michael didn't attend it, cause he knew it would suck
it didn't suck. :dry: (maybe the fact that there was no tribute, yes)

Stop this guys, it's rude. I don't know what went on, but that doesn't mean we gotta be rude to them or whatever. Hopefully we get an answer. Not an excuse. An answer.

[Javan]

I still enjoyed the show.

Also, the Lizard commercial during the Grammy's.

AND the thriller 25 commercial AFTER the Grammy's.

AND

The little tease when Will I Am was rapping....with the little beat it part..

[Dangerous2000watts]

No No Don't get me wrong. I'm watching the show and it is exciting as usual.
and yeah... I hope so
I just got this feeling that the Grammy wanted to use his name to
get attention.
If many MJ fans were dissapointed, they should explain ths:mad:

[ennazus]

I did enjoy some parts of the show, but I guess I'll prefer that I watch the repeat telecast at night instead of waking up early to watch it live, expecting a tribute.

[Lindsay]

[DarkPassion]

So there is no tribute?


-_- I am sad inside

[ennazus]

^ Nothing.

Unless you consider the mention of MJ in Kanye West's song and a2 second snippet of Beat It during Will.i.Am performance as a tribute to him.

[Lindsay]

Kanye's glasses. :lol2:

What a joke. :heha:

[Rawr]

I still enjoyed the show.

WHAT!? :eek:

[Thrillerchick3]

LOL I didn't see it either

[Shineyteeth]

WTF? Nothing happened?? At all? :eek: :eek:

Oh man :homer: What a bum!

I got up especially early before school to come check, this has made my day sad :(

[annaliese]

He didn't go then :l

I watched GMTV and it started talking about the Grammys and they said, 'and the biggest star of the evening....Amy Winehouse'

I was so excited, and then disappointed when I just saw the crackhead :(

[youarenotalone]

Wow, what a huge disappointment. Maybe Fox News was right for once when they claimed that Michael had gone back to Vegas with his kids, claiming to be ill ...

Guess we'll know soon enough.

[annaliese]

I wanna see the Thriller commercial though :D

Anyone have a clip?

[RobertUK]

Without meaning to start an arguement...but did anyone actually really expect Michael to do anything?

I'd have thought MJ fans have realised by now:

When there is a perfect opportunity for Michael to do something - he wont do it.

Can't wait till he comes to London so I can give him a clip round the ear...:lol:

[ennazus]

^ I think we are expecting a tribute performance to MJ, not a performance from the man himself.

No one said that MJ was attending the ceremony. But a tribute performance to MJ, was advertised and many people were lookin forward to it.

[RobertUK]

^ I think we are expecting a tribute performance to MJ, not a performance from the man himself.

No one said that MJ was attending the ceremony. But a tribute performance to MJ, was advertised and many people were lookin forward to it.

I haven't been on forums much lately but did no-one see the guy who produced the show for the Grammy's say, if Michael doesn't show up, we'll pull the whole thing? They originally said Michael has to perform, Michael said he hadn't had enough time to rehe**** etc (fair enough), but then the Grammy's said he can't just show up and expect a fanfare...

That's exactly what's happened. Yeah the NRJ Awards (or whatever they were called) were great, but Michael could call the shots and still get a made-up award for showing up.

The Grammy's have the power to just say no...

[ennazus]

^ If that's the case, why an advertisement was out promoting the tribute?

I mean MJ already stated that there isn't enough time to rehe****. And if they say without MJ performing, no tribute will be done, then they shouldn't have advertised it in the first place.

the advert for the grammys said there wud be a tribute (includin akon an will.i.am) to mike.

but we got...absoloutly f all:no2:

u not goin into landan town 2day chap?

[Invincible J]

I wonder what made it fall through. I mean, how can you advertise something and not follow through with it?

When there is a perfect opportunity for Michael to do something - he wont do it.


so true! :lol:

[Marilyn Monroe]

MTV showed the thrilllicious commercial all evening. anyway if the grammy commerical said there was going to be a tribute there should have been one, that was rude and immature of them to pull out, i wasted 3 1/2 hours of my life waiting for nothing. commercials are supposed to be final. it was funny how Rhianna said '' ma ma se, ma ma sa,
ma ma coo sa'' during her song and Kanye singing a song he says michael jackson in .. and then throwing WillIiam, Usher, and Quincy all the way at the end to make you think michaels tribute was last. lol i also thought it was funny they didnt have begining credits to who was going be there like they usually do at the beginning of award shows of all the stars there, unless the grammys and the oscars are too good for that.

[MissWorld]

I just scanned through the thread and saw no pix so I'm guessing he didn't attend. Sucks....I was really looking forward to seeing him.

[MJ_is_mah_life]

good thing I slept instead of watching, ida been so dead this morning, time 4 skool...erg

[TomV87]

WoW What a let down!!!

Not even the tribute they organised

[MJJ_1984]

I'm glad I didnt watch that. I Tivoed it. And I saw nothing! The Quincy and Usher thing reallt got my hopes up. Silly Me.

[jackson5]

I wonder what made it fall through. I mean, how can you advertise something and not follow through with it?



so true! :lol:

Everyone is blaming the grammies...they did not advertise it until last week. But think...who really did the advertising for this ...those that are pumping the Thriller 25th album.

Last night they didn't show the trailer of Michael. I knew something was was wrong when that happened. I sat and watched...heard Rhianna sing the Working day and night...mama say mama sa etc, then Kayne West mentioned Michael in his tribute to his deceased mother, and the commercial from the superbowl came on. Nice.
I saw Quincy come out...I thought cool this is it...nope...then Will.I.am come out and still nothing.

We could have been spared this if his people who are his PR would have answered the question one way or another about Michael and what would he be doing.
I'm bummed, but yet I am not surprised at this. Get use to it. We fans have have to rely on one another for any Jackson news lately true or not.

I'm waiting to hear what the excuses are...this should be good.

:sad:

[I Will Be There]

was planning on watching it tonight on ITV2, not too sure now.
good job i checked this thread today! :laugh:
i'll see if i have anything better to do

disappointed though :( i was expecting a mj tribute! :(
oh well, hopefully next time we'll get the man himself :happy:

GREAT POINT. BOY IM GLAD I KNEW MIKE WASN'T GONNA BE THERE. HOWEVER, I WAS SURPRISED WHEN THERE WAS NO TRIBUTE EITHER. HUGE LET DOWN

[RebeccaMJ]

Glad to see I'm not the only one who's disappointed.

Not even a mention!

:(

[MJ's_daughter]

I was waitin' only one hour and then I thought Michael is not goin' to appear. But I'm not dissapointed.

I want to do something bad to some people [especially on one forum, but not here]. They like to say stuff like "Michael should perform", "He don't think about his fans", "He don't care about his career" etc. What the hell is wrong with you people? I just don't understand. I know we all want to see him again, but let him do what he want. :dry:

Sorry, I don't think about you, I've just seen some posts on another forum. That was not nice at all :dry:

[Marilyn Monroe]

they should have went through with it if they advertised it on a commerical. it was a tribute to michael.. so michael did not have to be there. i never expected him there, and to me he does not need to perform. but if it was advertised simply.. the grammys should have atleast done something, instead of recking the fans night. it was immature, sorry.

but....anyone know why they called it off.......whats the true answer does anyone know yet?

[Thrillerchick3]

Someone told me that the tribute was cancelled at the last minute and Will.I.Am did a last minute performance to fill in that space where the tribute was supposed to show. He did good for a last minute performance tho....:)

[tinker*bell]

Hmmm... Well, I guess it's no use complaining now. What is done is done.

Let's just get over it and start getting hyper again for what's yet to come! ;)

[BrOkEn BaRbiE]

Meh. Dunno why I was expecting anything... Michael never does anything anymore lol... oh well :(

[mc from MJNO]

Meh. Dunno why I was expecting anything... Michael never does anything anymore lol... oh well :(

What are you talking about? The special edition will be out tomorrow and he also working a new album. MJ has done alot. Cut the man some slack. Can't expect to do everything.

[BrOkEn BaRbiE]

^^ I don't expect anything from Michael lol...

I just think it's a shame he doesn't do much anymore... an OLD album release is hardly THAT great. :)

If Michael wanted to retire tomorrow then cool... I just think it's a shame when he used to be all over the place at one point!

[mjgrl4ever]

I'm glad I didnt watch that. I Tivoed it. And I saw nothing! The Quincy and Usher thing reallt got my hopes up. Silly Me.

I know huh, me too, I was like wait, wait this could be it......but ahhh nope:( not even a tribute or anything, I was so mad.

[jackson5]

GREAT POINT. BOY IM GLAD I KNEW MIKE WASN'T GONNA BE THERE. HOWEVER, I WAS SURPRISED WHEN THERE WAS NO TRIBUTE EITHER. HUGE LET DOWN


Now that this has past, I don't see it as a total let down, because as I see it, no one really gave that "official word that this was going to happen." We just assumed it would because of what we saw, commercials and rumors from those pushing his album.

We can't totally blame Michael or the grammies for that matter either. They wanted it, if something happened, maybe it was just too late to do anything and they went with what they had already.

Remember he has spokesperson or person's who are suppose to let "ALL' fans know what is what? Since this didn't happen...we all grabbed information from "any" resource, because we're missing Mike so much that any or all information is just so welcoming to hear and know. I'm a guilty duck too.

Like someone else said. It's done now. Look it's sad, I'm bummed too, it would have been awesome for Michael, but oh well...that's the way it goes I guess. Let's just move on, the Thriller 25 comes out tomorrow and lets just just accept it and be done with it. You can't lead a horse to water if the horse doesn't wish to drink. You know what I mean?
:wink:

[Dancing the Dream]

Gotta say i am preety dissapointed there was nothing, not even a mention. That's kinda bad really to say that it's the Grammy's 50th and MJ was always a big part of the Grammy's past plus it's the 25th anniversary of Thriller....just seems wrong :no: Oh well.

[Off_The_Wall]

that's pretty pooh. im not that bothered that my mum didnt let me watch it now lol. you'd think they'd have at least given him & or thriller a mention.... *shrugs* oh well...

[Dangerous_Angel]

The Grammy's were SO crap. That was a show that seriously needed Michael or Janet to rescue it. The highlight of the night was Kanyes performance and Alicia Keys, the rest was a dissapointment in my opinion.

[ennazus]

:wink:

I agreed with what you said on the whole. I think most people are very much let down by the fact that the tribute was promoted on Grammys commercial yet it wasn't done. Most of us already knew MJ isn't attending it.

Yeah, and we should just move on. Just a tribute, not as if MJ is gonna attend it. Sure, we are all bummed by it, but there are much more things to look forward from MJ than a tribute to him.

[jackson5]

I couldn't post this in a new thread. So bear with me.

Last night on Access Hollywood they advertised a special that one of their reporters, Tony Potts did on the affiliated station, with Michael Jackson. It was good to see him.

It's speaks positive of him, his career as of now, his wealth, how Thriller was made and nearly destroyed due to his Religious convictions, and how Neverland, the once grand place, is now a ghost town and is slowly dilapatating.

http://www.mynetworktv.com/shows.php?show=23

[Dancing the Dream]

^^Thanks for posting :)

[Marilyn Monroe]

seeing neverland ill so to speak, was sad to see, im surprised it was positive. alot of the interview i saw on access hollywood though.

[Dancing the Dream]

Yeah shame about Neverland :( I hope Michael goes back there sometime

[felted]

no chance he will perform
