Show notes:
Thriller 40
This year marks 40 years since the release of the Thriller album. This is a huge milestone in Michael's legacy. However, his estate decides to release the milestone album with a terrible graphic art that was not the vision Michael would have wanted to celebrate an album that change the music industry.
There was a small tribute to celebrate the milestone on the Billboard awards back in May. Singer Maxwell sang the song "Lady in My Life". After that, the estate released a statement announcing the upcoming events for the album.
There were even some fans supporting what the estate was doing for the celebration of the album.
There was one reaction that wanted to focus on the fans' reactions and not the constant nonsense from the estate. What is their true motive?
Will the estate change the cover art? Will a documentary of the Thriller album be made? Hmmm...
And a website -
MJ: The Musical
* Nominated for 10 TONY awards
* Won four, including Best Lead Actor Myles Frost
* Prince and Paris presented at the awards show.
* Why I did not watch the awards show?
* Why I felt Michael's children were there to be pawns of the Estate?
* A review of the play -

As usual, failures use their "play" to attack Michael -

The Statement from the executors -
* This was not the fight that MJ fans should have participated in.
Chris Brown Being Compared to Michael - Make it Stop.
* The comical nonsense -
* People with no understanding of who Michael truly was were claiming that Chris was "more talented" than MJ. However, for Ryan Clark, his mentionings were a mess and rightfully so.
* Hasbeens, one hit wonders singer Tank (yes, that is really his stage name) and former rapper Joe Budden, also agreed that Chris was more talented than THE MJ. SMH.
* Chris finally killed this nonsense on an interview he did with Big Boy Radio -
This MUST end. It Must.
Invincible Documentary???
* Someone who worked on the Invincible album went on Twitter and stated these tweets (now deleted) -
The Month of June
June 13th - Vindication Day-
June 25th -
* Michael was honored on that day. An emotional day as usual.
Then, I saw this on Facebook and it bothered me -
On that day, there were fans that were bothered by the haters, the media and other distractions. It has been 13 years since Michael passed on and fans are still bothered that he has haters. When will they develop a back bone and move on from useless people??
This tweet is more evidence that Michael's legacy is doing fine -
The Estate did not do a post on June 25th but waited a whole day to do one on June 26th. The Estate is beyond useless to Michael's legacy.
Elvis Biopic - Michael's Will Not Get That Treatment
* The Elvis biopic did not get into his alleged racism, child abuse and called his drug addiction an drug dependency.
* The mainstream media did a great job promoting the movie and never mentioning his troubling ways. This will not happen to Michael when his biopic is being ready to be promoted. Trust me.
* Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough will not honor Michael the way they honored their father and grandfather. This is why they were silent when LN was happening.
An "update" on the MJ biopic -
Taking a Break for Personal Reasons
* I am taking a break from doing podcast episodes until November or December.
* I will be working on the Youtube channel and Instagram account.
* During my break, I will be researching for the future podcast episodes, that includes reading books.
* When I return, the podcast will be more focus on interviews, reviews and commentaries.
