BLP #112: All For One; All Fore Clay

[stilldreaming]

BUT IN THE SAME THE TOKEN, I'M SO SHOCKED HOW THE MEDIA IS PORTRAYING MICHEAL JACKSON.  AND THIS MORNING THAT SLEAZY LAYWER OXMAN IS TRYING TO IMPLY THAT MICHAEL'S DEATH MAYBE DRUG RELATED.   WE REALLY DON'T KNOW UNTIL THE AUTOPSY IS PERFORMED.  AND SOME NEWS SOURCES ARE  JUST FOCUSING ON WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST 15 YEARS.    FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THE MAN WAS PROVEN INNOCENT.     I WISH THEY WOULD FOCUS ON HIS MUSIC AND THE CHARITIES HE WAS INVOLVED IN.

Philly so true also the same for Clay, it's always about the sensationalism for the media isn't it, that's what sells and it's all about what sells

Terry and Sharon.... I could not agree more!!!!  Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon to "cash in" on Michael's untimely death and it will always be the MOST SENSATIONAL speculations (whether based in truth or fiction!) that will draw people in and lead to additional revenue $$$$ for these media sources.  Gad knows, Clay has suffered this relentless sh*t for far too many years and it still breaks my heart.   

And one additional observation..... American Idol and the Fox network have proven once again how VERY, VERY LOW they can actually go.   Last night on SYTYCD, Nigel Lythgoe gave an extremely touching and heartfelt tribute to the passing of both Farrah and Michael.  He spoke personally of his recent meeting with Farrah and her ongoing struggle with cancer.  How she was an inspiration to absolutely everyone she met and how deeply he was affected by their time together.  Nigel then spoke of Michael and how he has FOREVER changed the world of "dance" and the aspirations of young people (to pursue dancing) though his musical interpretations and incredible talent.  They then showed a short clip from THRILLER which I thought was a perfect tribute to Michael and his many accomplishments. 

I'll be honest here.  As Nigel spoke about each of them, he brought tears to my eyes and I was deeply moved.  All I could think was.... What a class act!!!!  And I still believe every word of what he said!!!  The emotion in his voice rang both obvious and true for me.         

But what totally me off was the spiel (which I'm 100% certain) Cat Deeley was forced to give at the end of the show.  Surprise.  Surprise!  Fox jumps in and gives us a self-serving promotion to tune in next week for an AI exclusive.... the FIRST EVAH "repeat" of one of their shows.... Michael Jackson week on AI.   
 
Of course.  This is purely a tribute to Michael and has NOTHING to do with increased visibility of this year's contestants and the upcoming AI tour. 
How transparent can AI really be......... Do they think we're ALL that stupid?????

So much word to your post there, Dreamy! 

You can really tell how uncomfortable Cat Deely was when she said that.   

I too wanted to puke to see how fast American Idol wanted to cash in  on Michael Jackson's death.    I can only imagine the plugs AI will try to do Monday. I for one, will not be watching the rerun!
