Michael Jackson fans present at Wednesday’s World Music Awards have been considering some kind of action against the event’s organisers, after the much-heralded appearance by the King Of Pop turned out to be nothing more than a couple of lines of We Are The World. (Full story here)
“People were expecting something significant but he didn't perform at all," fan Abdo Binmadhi told the BBC today, "When the lights went on I saw people's faces and they were like: 'Is that it?' I should have just stayed at home and watched it on TV... We should definitely get a refund."
“We not been contacted by any of the fans or had one complaint,” said organisers of the event, which took place at London’s Earls Court. Despite rumours that Jackson’s performance had been cut short by local authorities, the organisers claim the show actually finished a minute and a half early.

Why go after the organizers of the WMA? Jackson's performance was the crap of the event. Good luck getting a refund from his broke a**.

I'm surprised the organizers aren't suing the fans for being so stupid as to think that anything Wacko Jacko would do would be:
1. good
2. satisfying
3. professional
4. worth one red cent

Facts: He has sold more records than anyone.He has great musical talents and are a true performer for 42 years. He has been buggered by the press for as long as I can remember. Still he has managed to create more innovative music and entertainment than most pop- musicians. He is now 48 years old. He has been found not guilty by a jury in a trial in the US ( !) for child abuse.
They spent 3 million dollars to find any evidence against him, in the most media covered case in history. Yes, he is eccentric. Yes, he seems to have bad judgment over a lot of things. Yes, he probably has issues. But try to find anyone else who would get mainly bad press comments for creating hysteria over showing up an singing for a few minutes, and reciving a price for selling 104 million copies. Return to the music, people. Take a look at your own problems. It is easy to criticise. It takes dedication and talent to create and grow. Who do you peole want to be: lazy and negative, or creative and innovative? He seems right now to be the better one, than
most of us, as we easily swollow what are the medias slander and gossip rather than think for ourself. They give us what they think we want, and its disgusting to hear how lies become thruth when told often enough. RETURN TO THE MUSIC! USE YOUR BRAINS! Give me some hope for humankind.
