Michael Forever: Prince, Paris & Blanket Onstage During the Show

(AP) - Three generations of Michael Jackson’s family – with a few notable absentees – joined an eclectic roster of entertainers Saturday to pay tribute to the King of Pop, a celebration of the late star’s life overshadowed by the Los Angeles manslaughter trial of his doctor.

On a stage shaped like a giant glove, participants performed songs from across Jackson’s career – from his childhood with the Jackson 5 through monster solo albums like “Thriller” and “Bad.”

Participants urged fans to ignore the criticism and planning glitches that marked preparations for the show in Wales, and to revel in the celebration of Jackson’s musical legacy.

“It’s not about the controversy,” said R&B star Ne-Yo, who kicked off the show with a rendition of “Billie Jean,” complete with some passable moonwalking. “It’s not about the trial. It’s not about his death. It’s about celebrating his life. It’s about celebrating his music.”

The crowd at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium did just that, roaring with approval as Jackson’s brothers Marlon, Tito and Jackie – three-fifths of the original Jackson 5 – took the stage to perform “Blame It On the Boogie” with British boyband JLS.

“Can you feel his spirit in the house tonight?” asked Marlon. Judging by the cheers, the fedora hats and the sequined gloves in the audience, many could.

The lineup for the “Michael Forever” show included Christina Aguilera, Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight, Leona Lewis, Jennifer Hudson, Cee Lo Green – and, via video, Beyonce.

The concert has divided the King of Pop’s family and followers. The three brothers and sister La Toya were performing, while Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine was in the audience and his children Prince, 14, Paris, 13, and 9-year-old Michael Joseph Jr., known as Blanket, briefly took the stage to thank fans for coming.

“We’re very happy to be here on this special night to honor our father,” said Paris, who like her older brother smiled and appeared confident, while Blanket stood stoic and shy.

While 13 Jackson family members attended – including vocal group 3T, composed of Tito’s three sons – Michael’s brothers Jermaine and Randy and sister Janet have stayed away, saying it is wrong to hold the show at the same time as the manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray.

Before the show, Marlon Jackson said he respected his siblings’ decision.

“Each one of us grieves differently,” he said. “We want to celebrate the positive side of his life, the positive things that he did.”

Jackson died in June 2009, at age 50, as he was preparing for a string of comeback concerts in London.

His last hours are being relived in graphic detail at the trial of Murray, accused of giving Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol and other sedatives in the bedroom of his rented mansion on June 25, 2009.

Some fans have said it’s inappropriate to hold the tribute show during the trial, but those who came to Cardiff said it was a fitting antidote to the grim courtroom spectacle.

“There’s a lot of negativity in that courtroom,” said Ronnie Lee, a 32-year-old truck driver from Pembroke, Wales, sporting a “Thriller” T-shirt. “This is a chance to say, ‘Thank you Michael’ and celebrate the music.”

Fans from across Europe gathered outside the stadium, where vendors did a brisk trade in King of Pop T-shirts and hats like those once worn by Jackson.

“Whatever happens in that court, we’ll never get Michael back,” said Karin Kiewiet, 40, a local government worker from Emmen, Netherlands. “This is a good opportunity for us to begin grieving.”

The show has suffered teething problems, with producers struggling to line up top-name acts for the tribute, hosted by actor Jamie Foxx and British TV host Fearne Cotton.

The Black Eyed Peas pulled out of the lineup this week, citing “unavoidable circumstances” amid reports the chart-topping band is splitting up.

Organizer Chris Hunt said that despite the last-minute loss, fans could expect “a very, very spectacular show.”

“Everything we’ve done has been governed by one criterion – would Michael have done it this way, would he approve, would he like it?” said Hunt, chief executive of Global Live Events. “We’re trying to do something worthy of one of the greatest showmen of modern times.”

Several fan groups around the world have criticized the event, not just for its timing, but for ticket prices that started at about $100 and for what some regard as an out-of-the-way location in Cardiff, 150 miles (240 kilometers) west of London.

Organizers also outraged many fans by inviting the rock band Kiss, whose bassist Gene Simmons told a magazine last year that there was “no doubt in my mind” that Jackson, who was acquitted of molestation charges in 2005, had abused children.

The invitation was hastily rescinded, but many fans remained angry.

“The fans are not happy that the Jackson estate is not involved,” said Wesley Noorhoff, president of a Dutch Michael Jackson fan club. “It seemed like they wanted to build a concert soon, to get money.

“I believe it should wait, not only because of the Murray trial. If you do a tribute to Michael, it has to be the best there is, just like Michael.”

Hunt insisted the show would be a success. He said more than 40,000 tickets had been sold by Friday, and he was confident of reaching the venue’s 50,000 capacity.

Some of the proceeds will go to the AIDS Project Los Angeles and Prince’s Trust charities, and a portion will be placed in a trust fund for Jackson’s children, though organizers did not give an exact breakdown.

Marlon Jackson, 54, said he wanted dissenters to know that Michael would have approved of the show.

“I want the world to understand that my brother was more than just an entertainer,” he said. “There was a human side to him as well.”

Forever Michael: Prince, Paris e Blanket sul palco in occasione dello show

(AP) - Tre generazioni della famiglia di Michael Jackson - con assenti importanti - hanno aderito ad un roster eclettico di artisti Sabato a rendere omaggio al Re del Pop, in celebrazione della vita della star oscurata dalla causa di omicidio colposo a Los Angeles del dottore storico .

Su un palco a forma di guanto gigante, i partecipanti hanno eseguito brani provenienti da tutta la carriera di Jackson - dalla sua infanzia con i Jackson 5 agli album da solista come "Thriller" e "Bad".

I partecipanti hanno esortato i fan ad ignorare le critiche e difetti che hanno segnato la preparazione per lo spettacolo in Galles, e di gustarne la celebrazione dell' eredità musicale di Jackson.

"Non si tratta di controversia", ha detto la star R & B Ne-Yo, che ha dato il via allo show con una rendition di "Billie Jean", completa con qualche dignitoso moonwalking. "Non si tratta di processo. Non è sulla sua morte. Si tratta di celebrare la sua vita. Si tratta di celebrare la sua musica. "

La folla al Millennium Stadium di Cardiff ha fatto proprio questo, Roaring con l'approvazione con Jackson fratelli Marlon, Tito e Jackie - tre quinti degli originali Jackson 5 - è salito sul palco per eseguire "Blame It On The Boogie" con British boyband JLS.

"Riuscite a sentire il suo spirito in casa stasera?"ha Chiesto Marlon. A giudicare dalle grida, i cappelli fedora, i lustrini e i guanti tra il pubblico, molti potrebbero.

La formazione per il "Forever Michael" spettacolo ha incluso Christina Aguilera, Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight, Leona Lewis, Jennifer Hudson, Cee Lo Green - e, attraverso video, Beyonce.

Il concerto è diviso il Re del Pop famiglia e seguaci. I tre fratelli e la sorella La Toya erano performanti, mentre Michael Jackson, la madre Katherine era tra il pubblico ei suoi figli Prince, 14, Paris, 13, e 9 anni, Michael Joseph Jr.., Conosciuto come Blanket, sono brevemente saliti sul palco per ringraziare i fan per essere venuti.

"Siamo molto felici di essere qui in questa notte speciale in onore di nostro padre", ha detto Paris, che come il fratello maggiore sorrise e apparso sicuro di sé, mentre Blanket silenzioso e timido.

Mentre 13 membri della famiglia Jackson hanno partecipato - tra cui 3T gruppo vocale, composto da Tito tre suoni - i fratelli Jermaine e Randy e la sorella Janet sono rimasti fuori, dicendo che è sbagliato tenere lo spettacolo al tempo stesso del processo per omicidio del dott. Conrad Murray.

Prima dello spettacolo, Marlon Jackson ha detto ho rispettato la decisione fratelli storico '.

"Ognuno di noi affligge in modo diverso," ha detto. "Vogliamo festeggiare il lato positivo della sua vita, le cose positive che ho fatto."

Jackson è morto nel giugno 2009, all'età di 50 anni, mentre stava preparando una serie di concerti di ritorno a Londra.

I suoi ultimi giorni sono stati rivissuti in dettaglio grafico al processo contro Murray , ha accusato Jackson di dare una dose letale di propofol anesteticio e altri sedativi della sua camera nella villa affittata in data 25 giugno 2009.

Qualcuno ha detto che non è opportuno tenere lo spettacolo omaggio durante il processo, ma quelli che sono venuti a Cardiff hanno detto che era un antidoto aderente al Courtroom spettacolo triste.

"C'è un sacco di negatività in Aula di tribunale che," ha dichiarato Ronnie Lee, 32 anni, camionista di Pembroke, Galles, sportivo con un "Thriller" T-shirt. "Questa è una occasione per dire: 'Grazie Michael' e celebrare la musica".

Appassionati provenienti da tutta Europa si sono riuniti fuori dallo stadio, dove i venditori hanno fatto un vivace commercio Re del Pop T-shirt e cappelli come thoose una volta indossato da Jackson.

"Questo Qualunque cosa accada in tribunale, non riavremo mai Michael indietro", ha detto Karin Kiewiet, 40 anni, un operaio del governo locale da Emmen, Paesi Bassi. "Questa è una buona occasione per noi di iniziare a elaborare il lutto".

Lo spettacolo ha sofferto problemi di gioventù, con i produttori che hanno lottato per allineare le cose, ospitato da attore Jamie Foxx e TV inglese Fearne Cotton ospite.

I Black Eyed Peas si son tirati fuori dalla scaletta di questa settimana, citando "circostanze inevitabili" dopo le notizie sulla scissione della band.

Organizzatore Chris Hunt ha detto che nonostante la perdita dell'ultimo minuto, i fan possono aspettarsi "uno spettacolo molto, molto spettacolare."

"Tutto quello che abbiamo fatto è stato governato da un unico criterio - Michael avrebbe potuto farlo in questo modo, mi avrebbe approvato, mi piace" ha detto Hunt, chief executive di Global Live Events. "Stiamo cercando di fare qualcosa degno di uno dei più grandi showmen dei tempi moderni."

Gruppi di fan diversi in tutto il mondo hanno criticato l'evento, non solo per i suoi tempi, ma per i prezzi dei biglietti, iniziati a circa $ 100 e per quello che alcuni considerano come un out-of-the-way sede a Cardiff, a 150 miglia (240 chilometri) ovest di Londra.

"I tifosi non sono contenti che il patrimonio di Jackson non è coinvolta", ha detto Wesley Noorhoff, presidente di un fan del club olandese Michael Jackson. "Sembrava che volevano costruire un concerto presto, per ottenere denaro.

"Credo che si dovrebbe aspettare, non solo a causa del processo Murray. Se si fa un tributo a Michael, deve essere il meglio che c'è, proprio come Michael. "

Hunt ha insistito lo spettacolo sarebbe stato un successo. Ha detto che più di 40.000 biglietti erano stati venduti da Venerdì, ed ero fiducioso di raggiungerne 50.000 , quanto la capacità del locale.

Alcuni dei proventi andranno in beneficienza.

Marlon Jackson, 54 anni,ai dissidenti ha detto che volevo fargli sapere che Michael avrebbe approvato lo show.

"Voglio che il mondo riesca a capire che mio fratello era più di un semplice intrattenitore," ha detto. "C'era un lato umano a lui."
