As a HUGE Michael Jackson fan I thought I would e-mail BBC Wales seeing as the news wasn't reported a few hours ago.

I got an e-mail from the BBC saying thanks for the important update and they will report it it from 6am on Radio Wales :) Bit shocked mind that it took Carl and then me for the Beeb to get this news. Should Carl maybe be a freelance journalist ?

Carl sorry, I feel like I have stolen your thunder some what. :D

I liked Michael Jackson's material up til Thriller. I thought that was a great album, as was Off The Wall but, after that it's all pretty bland pop music. I'd be interested to see who "music's biggest stars" will be though

Doesn't that happen with most musicians, though? They start off really good and when they are really successful, they experiment with styles and ultimately lose it. My latest examples were Linkin Park (I know they are not the biggest legends, but they were quite famous in my time), first 2 albums - magnificent, then Meteora was kind of OK and then they MISTAKENLY did an album with JayZ.

Maybe if Elvis was alive, he would've also gone on to make bland pop music.

I always thought The Prodigy sold out when they released Firestarter. I thought that was an awful record. I got their last CD and thought it was excellent

Two of Michael Jackson's brothers have criticised a planned tribute concert to the pop superstar in Cardiff as "inappropriate" and "ill-timed."

CLICK THE FACEBOOK LINK ON THAT PAGE CARL PUT UP IN THE OP!!! the Michael Jackson Fans are fuming and outraged about this concert!

Here are a few comments!

"This will so fail. It will be a disgrace to the Greatest Entertainer the world has ever seen. And Why? Because somebody tries to take advantage of a grieving mother. Because somebody is stupid enough not to involve the Michael Jackson Estate. Without the MJE this is doomed. Put on something grand, something worth him. Not a half assed attempt of milking people for their money without even having signature acts confirmed. Great. This is a disgrace. An utter disgrace to a King. You should be ashamed of yourselves."

"Ditto. And btw, if this is for CHARITY, why start a trust fund for 3 kids who dont need it, when millions of other kids are starving to death at this very moment? Makes no sense at all."

"give a concert and donate to Africa if you want to honor Michael, I'll gladly donate then even if I can't attend it."

"Katherine JAckson is as guilty and as greedy as the rest of them. Don't forget she is the woman who took Michale's children to Oprah less than 18 months after he passed. She contractuallybind the kids to a porn producer.She put minor children on the Board of a FAKE charity. She took the kids to Robin Roberts of ABC to sell more interviews. SHE IS NOT A SAINT...She FOOLED Michael....but even HE knew his mother wasn't as trustworthy. Read Moonwalk....he clearly stated he wasn't sure he could trust HIS OWN MOTHER. Michael KNEW her better than us...and if he felt she wasn't trustworethy we shoudl take his words for it."

"I am all for a Tribute to Michael's memory, but the timing is just not right. Everyone who cares for Michael will be focussed on the trial, and on justice. We have a lifetime for tribute shows, but only one chance at procuring justice. "

"What in the name of God, are you all thinking? Your son/brother's doctor is on trial for killing him and you have a concert. Why not justice 1st? Please can cancel this. It is so embarrassing to Michael. It is Victory Tour all over again. Just a pitty MJ is not here to sort it out again."

:shock: :old:

Went onto the website to see how you would apply for the tickets, which start at £55, as my daughter is a massive MJ fan, and was appalled to see that it's not going to be a lucky dip who gets them, but more a case of who donates the most to charity on top of the ticket purchase.... so once again it's going to be a case of 'no bloody chance' for the working man to get to see, and will be restricted to the well off and elite of our society.... :evil: :evil:

The Family are Split on this whole idea......they still want to clear his name quotes his brother Jermaine.

i think they would be better off accepting that michael was a junky and move on.

I'm a huge MJ fan, saw him live twice in Cardiff, and twice at the old Wembley.

But I have to say this whole concert is turning out to be a joke. The whole ticket process has been a shambles, the line up is awful and apart from 1 or 2 half decent names, the rest of the line up are old hasbeens who were in no way friends of Michael, or inspired by Michael.

I'm also glad Kiss have been taken off the bill as that was a disgrace to Michaels name what with the whole Kiss and Michael being a peadophile comment.. The location also seems to be causing a problem for our American friends, and from what I gather and am hearing this concert may not even go ahead.

I say good.. Once the court case is over I think a united Jackson family should put on a real show in LA or somewhere in the States and get some real names like, Justin Timeberlake, Missy Elliot, Stevie Wonder, Usher, Lionel Ritchie, Smokey Robinson etc.. People who actually had a connection with Michael.

This concert just stinks of Joe Jackson and a few of the others just trying to make some fast $$$$$$, Jermaine Jackson dosen't want it, and the fans don't want it, I dont wan't it, and I personally don't think it will go ahead, thank god.
