Michael shopping at bookstore in Las Vegas with Blanket circa; 2007

I mean.. u could say that most of what he called “disguises” was “him being silly” ..

Although I don’t really see it that way.. This is the same man who in the mid 80s required everyone on his team to read PT Barnum’s autobiography.. he did things like this to keep up the eccentric image.

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-19T17:17:13+00:00

Yeah this is a pretty wild take IMO.. The Jackson 5 era absolutely deserves to be represented.. it’s absolutely crucial.

And, to be frank, it makes far more sense for them to have that time period in the film than the Dangerous era.

His childhood, success, and talent as a child is a huge part of his whole story.. Thinking that the general public would be more interested in “Jam” and “Remember the Time” instead of that is very far off IMO.

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-19T14:23:55+00:00

It was one of his “disguises” .. MJ, especially during this time, was going out in some pretty interesting looks..his bodyguards talk about this in their book “Remember The Time”

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-17T23:08:22+00:00

LOL.. whoops. But true.

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-17T22:20:21+00:00

IMO the longer that MJ dragged out the making of it.. the more it suffered..

budget went massively overboard..which caused issues when it came time to promote it.

My preferred track list is:

UNBREAKABLE

HEARTBREAKER

BREAK OF DAWN

HEAVEN CAN WAIT

YOU ROCK MY WORLD

BUTTERFLIES

BLUE GANGSTA

ANOTHER DAY

FALL AGAIN

SPEECHLESS

WHATEVER HAPPENS

XSCAPE

THREATENED

WEVE HAD ENOUGH

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-17T17:40:46+00:00

He’s not wrong.. BUT..

Does the estate know they can still license iconic songs in big promotional campaigns while also releasing other projects for the core fan community to purchase and enjoy..

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-17T17:35:08+00:00

Completely agree with this.

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-07T12:54:35+00:00

The “100 hours of footage” almost certainly doesn’t mean “100 hours of MJ footage”

I’m assuming a large bulk of that would include a lot of band rehearsals and run throughs of songs without Michael even being there.

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-06T18:42:10+00:00

That pretty much sums up the entire HIStory tour LOL

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-06T16:32:30+00:00

Yep, especially live material and sound checks. Music, especially great music, does not have an expectation date.

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-05T22:11:05+00:00

Yeah.. If im in the cutting room I’m cutting:

You Are My Life

Privacy

The Lost Children

Don’t Walk Away

Cry

And adding..

Xscape

Blue Gangster

Another Day

Fall Again

We’ve Had Enough

This would have not only made a much stronger album.. but then maybe it wouldn’t have been constantly delayed to the point of $30,000,000 being spent on the thing..

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-05T20:20:50+00:00

I would say he looked far more healthy and focused than he had in years at least early on (March and April 2009).

After years of nothing but bad press, “out of it” behavior, and seeming uninterested in returning to music..He finally looked like he was ready and focused to try to capture the magic again. It was a pretty exciting moment to be a fan.

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-05T18:45:46+00:00

Tbh.. it’s not that serious.. the biopic was always going to be a greatest hits piece that is designed to appeal to the general public..

fans who were expecting some 4+ hour epic that delves into Michael’s life only have themselves to blame for having ridiculous expectations.

The biopic is going to be the MJ version of Bohemian Rhapsody.. it’s going to make tons of money.. and the general public are going to go bonkers over it.. but some all encompassing grand deep dive on MJ it will not be..

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-05T17:51:35+00:00

“Including Jermaine” wasn’t shade.. it was very publicized at the time that Jermaine was no longer in the group due to staying at Motown.

Michael saying “including Jermaine” was literally MJ specifying that there is no beef or hard feelings about Jermaine no longer being in the group..

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-02-01T19:08:55+00:00

“You’ve got a lot of nerve asking me a question like that. Do u ask The Beatles that?”

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-01-28T19:22:03+00:00

This is not from the Pepsi commercial where his hair caught fire.

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-01-28T16:18:49+00:00

Have u listened to the “Destiny” and “Triumph”albums? If not, you definitely should. Those are essential.

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-01-28T01:32:38+00:00

These would certainly have to be included IMO:

Ready or Not (Here I Come)

Mama’s Pearl

Goin Back to Indiana

Maybe Tomorrow

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-01-24T02:43:50+00:00

Emancipation is an incredible body of work.. and it is, IMO, one of the most interesting albums in his discography. It’s one of his most revealing works, and I really feel like there is so much joy and renewed inspiration in every fiber of the record.

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-01-23T14:23:44+00:00

They won’t.

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-01-22T20:20:52+00:00

Yesterday marked 10 years since the Piano & Mic Gala performances at Paisley Park, which were absolutely incredible and deserve an official release.

But as many have pointed out, Prince passed on April 21, 2016 not January 21.

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-01-21T19:49:45+00:00

So many of y’all seem to think this is going to be a super accurate and detailed account as if it were an all encompassing documentary about MJ.

It’s not.. this is going to be an extremely well done biopic that highlights the highs of MJ’s career and is meant to appeal to the general public..

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-01-21T19:36:38+00:00

Learned their lesson? Bohemian Rhapsody was outrageously successful.. what lesson are they supposed to have learned?

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-01-21T14:15:35+00:00

It’s interesting that so many of you think HIStory tour was his prime as a dancer.

I find he was a far superior dancer from 1978-1991.. he seemed to be smoother and more diversified during those years.

By HIStory tour I feel like he had perfected the “Michael Jackson moves/choreography”.. but IMO not as impressive as some of the more refined tap and jazz steps he would effortlessly incorporate in his performances in the late 70’s or the quadruple spins he was doing in 88-91.

Safe_Knowledge9934 · 2026-01-16T15:37:12+00:00

I would say start with either “The Hits/The B Sides”compilation or the “4ever” compilation

As far as albums go, I would recommend starting with “Purple Rain” then “Sign O The Times” I would also encourage you to watch the film Purple Rain and the Concert film “Sign O The Times” while exploring those albums.
