Doesn't Anyone WANT To Pay Tribute To MJ?
Filed under: Michael Jackson
Maybe the time has finally passed.
Yet another performer has pulled out of the Vienna tribute concert to Michael Jackson. At this rate, it's going to just be the Jermaine Jackson show!
Natalie Cole will be a no show at the event as the singer will be attending an event with the Dalai Lama in Memphis around the same time. And there ain't no way she is going to offend the Dalai Lama…who would?!
That's three down - Chris Brown and Mary J. Blige went before this.
Well, if they're not going, hell if Madonna is going to go!

Karina And Maks Reunite!
Maybe they're all realizing that cashing in on someone's death to further their own careers doesn't look very good…
What the hell?? HAVENT WE ALREADY DONE THIS LIKE 3 TIMES OR SOMETHING AND AT EVERY AWARDS SHOW. WE DONT NEED THIS MANY TRIBUTES. WE KNOW HES DEAD!!! STOP WITH THIS SH*T. ITS GETTING RIDICULOUS!! IM SO SICK OF HEARING THIS "MICHAEL JACKSON WAS A GOD LETS PAY TRIBUTE" BS.
IM NOT GOING
Before you start talking shit Perez, Natalie Cole is a very sick woman. She has Hepatitis and by the looks of her, the disease is taking a toll on her health. She is probably too weak to show.
no wants to be connected to a child molester or allow the jackson family to profit from others. they are a greedy bunch
The show was inappropriate anyways. All the "names" probably pulled out when they realized the controversy around the show. Michael's mother did not support it. I guess Jermaine will have to give the money back. If there are any tributes, they should make sense. I think the movie coming out about the last rehersals should be interesting. I hear that it will be showing in only a few cities for a week or two. Look for it to go to CD for purchase after that. Then that cow is empty…
Get the band The Pedophiles, they would probably play.
…they have moved it to next year at the o2 now anyway
sick bastards fighting over someones death
Where've you been? I read, this a.m., that the show was cancelled til 2010.
The Jacksons are NORTORIOUS for claiming to be working with people without actually talking to them. Remember recently Michael Claimed to be working on a song with Miriah Carey and Justin Timberlake and both of their reps came out and said they knew nothing about it.
Two bits of advice: #1 - The entire Jackson family needs to shut the eff up. Michael's dead. You have milked it long enough. No matter how hard you try, the rest of you Jacksons will never be relevant. You're done. The money train has left the station. #2 - The media - you included, Perez - need to stop perpetuating the whole MJ storyline. There is nothing left to tell. He's dead. All he's doing is becoming more dead with each passing day. This is not news.
hey moron, other sites like gossipcop.com and now the AP wire are reporting it's been cancelled
I'm sure the NAMBLA band would be happy to show up. Michael's favorite eatery, The Vienna Boy's Choir, will probably NOT be in attendance.
it has been postponed until june 2010
i think Jermain should just leave it alone,let michael rest in peace! im pretty sure people (even the family) are starting to see Jermain milking it for all it's worth! this would be cute for like a 10th year anniversary,but we already had his memorial and his birthday has passed,just let it be dude! your not gonna get rich off of your dead brother! and hollywood agrees!!!
maybe she pulled out cuz he cancelled it till next year. god you ppl are so mean
I can't believe what a moron this guy is. How transparent can one jealous, money-grubbing brother be? "Word to the Badd" said it all. I hope he stays away from Michael's kids because I shudder to think of the things he'd say to them about their dad. You can send messages to the kids and show support: google "dear paris jackson" or "dear prince jackson". No matter what a person thinks of their father, they're only kids and they didn't ask for any of this crap.
Don't you watch the news??? The Vienna concert was "postponed" to be held in London in 2010 YESTERDAY!!! It was postponed because no one whom that moron jerk Jermaine said was coming was even asked and never agreed. Katherine never agreed to appear so that Perez story is crap, too. Sheesh! I am not sure Perez is writing these comments anymore (too busy with that crappy cocoperez.com site which sucks!!) because he would never make these mistakes. I heard his sister is doing the website and she is clearly not up to it.
Re: bongo – HA HA HA!
Enough already with the loser Brothers trying to Cannonize their Pedophile Brother!!!
This whole f**ging thing is stupid. Whoever is in charge of this thing should shut it down. Better yet, the people that are close to the people that are in charge of this f**king disgusting fiasco should start doing something. What a pathetic clusterf**k. F**king greedy trolls.
Re: TimLee – I couldn't have said this better myself.
And yet, even with nobody taking part, it's still more collective talent than Mario's concert tour. At least Jermain Jackson knows enough about music not to embarrass himself by including Sliimy.
I love how all these same stars were crying over Michael when he died and saying how wonderful he was…what a load of shit. NONE of them truly gave a shit about the man and just spewed out some BS about being sad and how great he was so they didn't look like the total assholes that they are.
No wonder Michael wasn't really friends with any of the fake people in Hollywood…all people in Hollywood do is leech off of the next headline to keep the paycheques coming in and attention on them. None of those idiots who said they cared about Michael really cared….so so sad!
I care about Michael and I'm happy that he is away from all the endless bullshit down here…Heaven is a much better place for a man like him, so the rest of those people pretending to be his "friends" can just fuck off.
Did you ask "who would offend the Dalai Lama"? Cause, I would. He is a false prophet. I don't see how some old dude in a robe is super important. Actually, the Dalai Lamas and Michael's importance is about the same. None at all. Perez, you will have to get this through your very thick gay scull…. it is not important who go/performs at this concert, it's about remembering a person who in my eyes, should not have this much attention. He touched little children, we did drugs. He was mentally unwell, and yet as a society we glorify that as a person of importance? There are WAY more important things to focus on Perez, did you ever think of doing a story on aids, or hunger? You have SO much power to do so much good… yet you don't.
mario wtf?the whole tribute in vienna has been cancelled…
Re: RachelB – he is glorified as a person who changed music, bottom line, he was a talented musician. thats what he should be remembered for.
He was a pedophile. It's embarassing to pay tribute to a freak like that.
Re: cat1329 –
ur mother is a fucking child molester. im sick of stupid ignorant people like you that feed what the media tells them with no research or anything. if the world was filled with people like you, it'd be 50x more fuckeed up. PATHETIC LOSER
Re: Praire Dog –
your mom is a pedophile.
Re: Spindoc –
LOLLLLLLL so what michael begged to do a song with them and they wouldnt give him the time of day? he couldnt give 2 fucks less about those wannabes. if anything they prob called him over and over again and he said no. its MJ he doesn't need to do a song with anyone
Re: RachelB –
im sorry, were u in the same room as him and the children? do you have any proof he touched little children? no. that is the reason he got aquitted both times. how we know hes innocent? the little boys he so called touched came out and said they lied for the money.
so let me tell ask you, how ignorant and pathetic are you? not trying to be a racist, cause i am half white. but since he died the only people who have been talking shit about him, calling him a pedo have been white people.
maybe if you did research instead of watching CNN and readinng magazines like a fucking loser you'd know how much good he did. how many lives he saved and touched. so what he deserved to die because he got ACCUSED of something he did not do? your a typical ignorant person, and sad thing is theres thousands like you. people like you are what is wrong with this world. fucking loser.
The Jackson's greed is ruing any planning or motivation for a tribute, they might as well give up!!
Enough of all of the tributes already! The man has finally been buried. Leave him be now!! It only looks bad when everyone under the sun feels they need to do a tribute. Perhaps people are dropping out because they've finally got the message that anything done by a Jackson is being done for the money and nothing more. It seems to be an entire family…except Janet of users!!!
Thank God! That whole idea is just creepy to me. To list Chris Brown (woman beater) as the headliner is Rediculous! Does Jermaine have a brian! So many other wonderful artist that does not beat women to choose from. but, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Fricking Chris Brown! What a jerk! I will not watch him. He makes me SICK!!!!!
Re: SexyScorpio..NY – he wasn't talking shit about natalie.
he was just stating a fact that she had a prior engagement
that she could not get out of. there was nooo mention of her
hepatitis and he was in no way making fun of her or talking shit.
