WMA Awards 2006 - The Aftermath
I've only seen clips of the World Music Awards on BBC and Sky News as well as some fan footage uploaded to YouTube, here you can watch WMA videos.
The media have been having a field day and can't help put a negative on everything.
I got a phone call this morning from BBC 5 Live asking if as owner of this website I would be interested in taking part in a discussion, I told them I was to busy and not interested. Which is true, but I'm also fed up with all the negatives.
I believe that for Michael Jackson this was simply an appearance to collect an award.
We heard no reports from Michael Jackson that he was to perform. The media simply hyped this up into one big comeback performance, something it simply was never intended to be.
On the World Music Awards Website it states "Michael Jackson will be appearing on stage as part of a spectacular tribute to Thriller." So it clearly doesn't say he will be performing. Ok, he didn't appear on stage as part of Thriller, but he did for We Are The World.
The BBC report Jackson fans demand ticket refund however they state in the article "The organisers of the World Music Awards said that they had "not been contacted by any of the fans or had one complaint" regarding the event." So clearly fans are not demainding refunds. The page also has a video link to Michael being interviewed on the red carpet in the video link titled "Michael Jackson speaks to reporters" saying he will not be performing and that it was just a rumour.
Also on the BBC website you may be able to watch the video link titled "Michael Jackson on stage for first time in years
" they say fans booed because he walked past them and ignored them. This is totally false, when watching the same scenes filmed by Sky News Michael Jackson was surrounded by camerman, photograpghers and reporters who had broken through barriers and onto the red carpet. He managed to somehow break from that scrum at one point and make his way to fans but was again surrounded.
He had actually supposedly accepted an invitation to attend a fan based party at a nightclub in London but the party had to be canceled on the day due to heath and safety reasons for holding the event. So that shows he was prepared to make quality time for fans.
Inside the World Music Awards host Lindsay Lohan just added to the confusion, by introducing the stage appearance as one of his first "performances" for years. Oh well.
Well, Michael did sing a few lines. Was his voice not up to it, did the mic cut out? The sound at the end was certainly cut out while Michael was still singing. So its all very confusing. Either way, I think its great he actually took to the stage at all.
