Title: Secret Millionaire Commercial
Post by: LOVESoldier28 on January 30, 2011, 10:54:06 PM
I was watching Extreme  Home Makeover earlier on in the night on ABC and one of the commercials was for a show called Secret Millionaire and during the commercial MJ's song Hold My Hand played.

Do any of you think MJ might be working behind the scenes on that new show and someone would to have had to give permission for ABC to use MJ's song Hold My Hand. The title even screams MJ like he maybe he came up with the idea and how he's lived his life helping people and children.

We'll have to pay close attention to this show who knows if MJ is connected to it or not.

Interesting, I have to make sure to watch that commercial on ABC. I think you are right, to use Michael' s song they should have permission from Estate & Sony. When the show is due?

I've seen the english version of this program, and the swedish version is about to start.
I don't think MJ has anything to do with this show since its been running for a few years in  Europe.   However I don't like the show but everyone is free to make their own mind up about it.

Secret Millionaire starts Sunday March 6th on ABC.

If MJ released Hold My Hand for the commercial of a reality tv show I'm surprised he would do that but if the estate did it or his family, I would be livid that the music he wrote would be used for some reality tv show.

Has this commercial always has a "foot note" at the bottom saying Michael Jackson, Hold My Hand???  I've never seen it on there before!

 :shock: Really? Why would they write MJ and Hold My Hand there? Did they play the song or something like that related with Michael?

nope same commercial...just shortened.
Maybe Sony is behind the show, maybe Sony owns it or the network, maybe Sony is promoting it, maybe Sony or Michael want credit as it is Michael's song, maybe if they use it they have to or should say who it is, maybe people wondered so much who it is so they now show it...
I figure Michael wanted it on here :)

The theme of the show is very relevant with Michael and the song Hold My Hand. And I do remember we talked about this show before and how relevant it is to Michael. So it's a big possibility that Michael wanted it on there. Thank you so much for sharing. :)

Maybe Michael really likes this show, and now that it will be airing here in the US he wanted to be a part of it and this is the only way he can do that for now. Michael loves helping the less fortunate, and what I can see from the commercial that's what the show is all about. And I also remember his mother said he really liked Dancing With The Stars, so he likes reality TV just like a lot of people.

I've seen the commercial twice so far and the second time I saw it the thought popped into my mind that this is Michael's way of letting us know that those who tried to ruin him didn't succeed and his financial troubles are over! God has restored to Michael "what the locust, cankerworm, caterpillar, and palmerworn had eaten!" (Joel 2:25) God dropped this into my spirit concerning Michael around September of 2009. Then I later came across a link on this site to Pastor Gregory Dickow's prophesy to Michael before June 25th where he prophesies that God was going to do this.

Originally, I had heard the Akon and MJ "Hold My Hand" song during the commercial promoting this new program......

However, where I live, it has been a couple of weeks now that the song been stripped from the commercial. Never has there been text stating the song either. I find it odd.
Title: Re: Secret Millionaire Commercial
Post by: fordtocarr on February 27, 2011, 09:41:49 AM
We now have a second song added to our commercial also...  But, Michael's still is playing.  Perhaps they couldn't pay the royalties for a top playing song any longer.

Off topic but can you remember where you read or heard this? Ever since I first saw him looking so good dancing with 'Susie' in Blood on the Dance Floor, I've wanted to see more of him dancing one to one with women! Can you imagine him as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars or UK's Strictly Come Dancing? The others wouldn't stand a chance! Oh dear, my mind's wandering this afternoon!

It was shortly after he had supposedly died. Latoya and his mother were in the audience on the first show of the new season of Dancing with the Stars. I think it was Entertainment Tonight who gave LaToya the mike to interview some of the other stars and her mother. And that's when she mentioned that Michael was a fan of the show.

I've often said the same thing! I would love to see Michael dancing across that floor, not only the Tango but the Pasedoble :!:  :!:   (did I spell that right?)  :D   Ladies wouldn't you just love to take a waltz around the floor with him? I know I would  :oops:

Now you just did it :!:  I never noticed the sunflower on the box :o  Now I'll be sitting on the edge of my chair waiting for that darn commercial just to see that flower. This makes me believe that Michael is involved with this TV show. Maybe he is the real producer of it  :shock:  

You are absolutely right, the man is a genius :D  :!:

But the song has not been pulled from the commercial here. ;) I did notice today that there are two commercials showing here in the states. One with the blurb at the bottom regarding the song and one with out it.

And guess what, as I'm sitting here writing this the commercial just came on TV and it had something new running at the bottom. It was listing the credits of the show, but it was running them too fast for me to really read them. I only got the song credit because that was the first one shown. I did see a name Michael Coffer or something of that nature listed I think as a producer. I'll have to see it again. Man I am getting more excited has the days go by!

You know I'm going to add it to the list of reality shows that I do watch because I don't like some of them. But this one I will definitely watch!

I slightly remembered that there was an old TV show called the Millionaire, so I researched it, and there was one that ran from 1955 to 1960 and one in 1978. This is what IMDb says, "In this hit 1950's TV series, a millionaire indulges himself giving away one million dollars apiece to persons that he has never met. "  I really believe now that Michael could be behind this show and he is continuing his philanthropy while he is away because that's Michael!

Blessing to you all!

They didn't have the song.(I started watching it a couple of minutes into it, so maybe it was on right away? I'm not sure.) Nothing hoax-wise really stuck out to me, but the show is very inspiring. If you can catch it on Youtube, it would be worth your time.

Do you guys think its just coincidence that the same week that this show airs with MJ's song in the advertisment...that TMZ drops a story about MJ's kids volunteering in a soup kitchen...and giving away money to charity. Oh I noticed a sunflower on the wall of that room they did for the little girl...I also bawled like a baby.  I think there is soooo much more going on in HOLLYWOOD than we are admitting or catching on to....!!

I was trying to remember what association MJ had with a music school. I couldn't find anything with him and the Joy of Music School in Nashville, which was featured on the Secret Millionaire. I did find this article that TMZ did about turning Neverland into a music school, though. Could this be part of connecting the dots?


Neverland Ranch -- A Teen Haven for Music


12/18/2010 1:00 AM PST by TMZ Staff  

The owners of the Neverland Ranch -- the former home of Michael Jackson -- want to turn the property into a teenage music haven.

(http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/12/17/1217-neverland-ex-credit.jpg)

TMZ has learned Colony Capital wants to develop a business plan to turn Neverland into a small music institute -- similar to The Juilliard  School in NYC.  The plan is to teach teens all aspects of music, including writing and performing.

Colony wants to turn the property into a campus, in which scores of teenagers -- rich and poor -- can learn the trade that made Michael Jackson a legend.

There are two big stumbling blocks.  The first is making sure Santa Barbara County will sign off on such a project.

The second -- and bigger issue -- is whether Colony Capital can use Michael Jackson's name to promote such an institute.  TMZ has good news for Colony .... sources directly connected with the Michael Jackson Estate tell us, "It's an interesting idea and we'd be open to it."

You betcha anewfan.
I often think about Michael saying in This is It that he was going to put love back into the world to remind the world that LOVE is important...well what do we think he meant by that...that one concert was going to remind the world of LOVE, I think he meant he is using the t.v medium to put love back into the world...that would be taking the medium to a new level too...wouldn`t it :idea:

2@peacock...I do think he has his hands in a lot of shows/products/movies that we don't even know about.

@Purelove Now that I think about Secret Millionaire, these 82 year old twins named Ellen and Helen ran a soup kitchen for the homeless called the Love Kitchen. The millionaire (Dani Johnson) made the comment "Everything they do is for LOVE. Everything they represent is LOVE." (not exact words, but something to that effect.)

EDIT: You will have to scroll down and click on the full episode. The link didn't go directly to that video for some reason.

It says: "You appear to be outside the United States or its territories. Due to international rights agreements, we only offer this video to viewers located within the United States and its territories." :(


Oh I'm so sorry you can't see the shows. If you can't see them through the Hulu link given earlier, here is a link to an article that tells you what you may be able to do to view US shows in other countries. It appears you may need a certain type of software, but it may be worth a try!

I wish everyone could see the shows!  They will be in Los Angeles next Sunday on "Skid Row" which is where the largest population of homeless individuals live in America. And you could say that Los Angeles is Michael's second hometown! ;)

I find it interesting that out of the first four cities in the series already two of them are related to Michael! ;)  Something that makes me go hummmmmm. :shock:

Stay blessed!

Thank you so much for thinking of us and giving out these links. I tried hulu.com but it says: "Sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed from within the United States."  Gosh what and why is this secret? This is just a tv show and why can't I watch it just because I'm not in America? This is ridiculous. Thank you so much for your time and effort to help us who can not watch it anewfan. You watch it for all of us and enjoy it. Big MJ HUGS for you. :)

Okay, this past Sunday, which was the third Secret Millionaire show, the millionaire went to in Gary, Indiana and gave his million away there. We all know that Gary is Michael's hometown.

This coming Sunday, which will be the fourth Secret Millionaire show, the millionaire will be in Los Angeles to give away the million. Los Angeles is Michael's second home town because in the summer of 1969 Michael, Jermaine and Jackie stayed at Suzanne de Passe's home off Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles while they recorded "I Want You Back" and a couple of other songs. Then later in 1970 Joseph moved the family from Gary to Los Angeles. They first moved into a two-story house at 1616 Queens Road in Los Angeles. The family later moved in 1971 to a gated mansion they called "Hayvenhurst", which we know as the "Encino Compound" which is in Encino, CA. Now the city of Encino could be considered a suburb of Los Angeles because it is in the County of Los Angeles.

I read an article somewhere that said it was at the Los Angeles Forum (an indoor arena in Inglewood, California, a suburb of Los Angeles) where the Jackson's held their first concert. In Michael's Opus book there are pictures of Michael taken around Los Angeles and at his Encino home in the early 70's. There is a picture of him at the famous Pink's hotdog stand in Los Angeles, shopping for shoes in an LA shoe store, on top of LA buildings and more (I love that book!). So LA is Michael's second hometown!

So why did I say I think it's interesting that two out of the first four cities of the show are related to Michael? Well I did a little research and the most recent information I could find said that in 2000 there were 19,355 cities in the United States. So what are the odds that a show totally unrelated to Michael Jackson spotlights, within the first 4 shows, the two cities where Michael lived(s)? I mean they had 19,353 other cities to chose from. Something that makes me go hummmmmm. :shock: Maybe this is where those who are into the numbers things can comment! Just a thought!

Blessings to you all!

You are very welcome, it was my pleasure! :P

There is a posting on this site about an article concerning Michael being the 2nd highest money maker in the US in 2010, 2nd only to Oprah. I've always felt from the very beginning when I realized that this was a hoax, that Michael would give away some, if not a lot of the money he made during his absence because he has always given money to charities! That's why he holds the Gunniees record for charitable donations.

So a show like the Secret Millionaire is a great way for Michael to give away secretly some of the money he has made since his absence, before he even returns. Michael is a smart cookie, and I think this is one way to answer the critics  :evil: who are going to come at him full force when he returns about the money his estate made while he was supposedly dead!  

Michael's newly released song playing in the commercial ads for the show and his two hometowns being recipients in the very beginning seals it for me! I'm convinced that Michael has something to do with the Secret Millionaire!  ;)

You know someone said on this site that we shouldn't contribute every thing that comes along to Michael, but in this case, I think that some things are just plain obvious. And I think that's what this site is all about, getting us to look at things more closely!

Stay blessed!

Hi everyone, I found out why those of you who live outside the US cannot watch the shows. There is a site called “ShareTV” that has a note on its site that says:

NOTE: Due to copyright restrictions set by the networks videos are currently only available to U.S. visitors. If it were up to us we would of course make the episodes available to everyone. -- ShareTV Team

So that answers your question as to why you cannot see the shows.

I also found out that the Secret Millionaire, which is based on a British show of the same name first aired here in the US on the FOX Channel in 2008 and they only did 5 shows and it was canceled.  

The show that aired this past Sunday (3/27) in LA’s “Skid Row” was actually filmed last April 2010.  The millionaire gave $25,000 to “3 on 3 Street Ball League” a mentorship program that works to get people off the streets an into a more productive life. One of the young men showed the millionaire a mural painted of the area on what looked like a concrete wall that had been defaced with spray paint, so he committed to restoring the wall.

He also gave $25,000 and 200 sleeping bags to a young man who with his own funds put together toiletry bags and passed them out on Skid Row along with clothing. One thing he did while there with the millionaire tugged on my heart. There was an older man on a walker who had old shoes that had feces on them.  He asked the man what size shoes he wore and he said a size 8 and the young man took his sport shoes off (which looked to be new) and gave them to the man. The man was totally shocked and thrilled! The millionaire was blown away!

Last he gave $45,000 to a lady who turned her 5-bedroom house into a home for homeless mothers with teenage as well as small children. The house is called “Alexandria House.” It appears that homeless women have difficulty finding shelter if they have teenage children. And he also gave her $5,000 to divide among the 9 ladies that were staying there and 10 new computers.

After the show, the ABC 11p.m. news in LA did an update to show how the money was used that was given to the Alexandria House.  The lady who started the home said it kept the doors open in a bad economy.  The 10 new computers he gave them were placed in the teen center. One family was able to move out with the money he gave to be split among the 9 ladies. One of the ladies now works at the home as an employee.  The owner of the home is still talking to the millionaire that gave the money, and he says he may give more. She ended her interview for the news by saying, “We all can be heroes by doing a little bit more.”

It appears there are only two more shows to air. It seems the ratings have continued to decline since the first show on 3/6.  Here are all of the episodes.

Episodes: Secret Millionaire - 11 total Episodes
ABC
4/10/2011: Ali Brown: Venice, CA, Season 2, Episode 6, the season finale
4/3/2011: Gary & Diane Heavin: Houston, TX, Season 2, Episode 5

12/10/2008: Secret Millionaire, Watts section of Los Angeles, Season 1, Episode 2

It is sad that the show may not be back after the next two episodes.
Blessings to you all!

Hi all,

Here is an update for the show that aired tonight.

A husband and wife team went to Houston Texas and they gave away the largest amount of money of all the shows so far. $100,000 to the Lazarus Home for people who are living with HIV. $250,000 to Sean Ashley House, a day rehabilitation program for children with autism. The Sean Ashley House really pulled at the couple's heart strings because they have a grandchild who has autism. $50,000 to No More Victims a mentoring program for children. They also gave $20,000 to a young man who was a volunteer there, and who was putting himself through college.

Next week the millionaire will be in Venice, CA. and supposedly that will be the last show. :cry:

Stay Blessed!

Hi Everyone, here is the update on the last Secret Millionaire show.

The millionaire spent the week in Venice, CA which is in the county of Los Angeles. She volunteered at four organizations. It was very interesting that this last episode is the one with the sunflower on the tissue box. It was at the end when the millionaire gave the money to the last agency and it sat in view on the shelf just above the millionaire's right shoulder as she spoke. :P

Bread and Roses is an organization that serves the homeless. The homeless make table reservations and they dine on great meals restaurant style rather than soup kitchen style. One of the dishes that was served up was a shrimp dish, which I am sure was a special treat for the patron that order it.  She gave the organization $10,000 which they used to do renovations in the restaurant.

Common Ground is an organization that offers counseling, food, medical/dental services and more to needy youths. She gave them $30,000 which they used to increase their services by 40%.

Beauty Bus Foundation is an organization that uses volunteers to take various beauty services to the home of chronically and terminally ill individuals and their caregivers. She gave $10,000 to them which they used to hire their first employee.

Harvest Home is an organization that support homeless unwed mothers who have nowhere to go. The home has room to house 8 women. In order to stay at the home the women have to enroll in their education program. She gave $50,000 to them which they used to help three of the women move into their own apartments, some for assisting the women with their college education (one will be graduating soon), buying new refrigerators and they bought one of the women a car to help her get to school.

It's sad that this is the last show as Home Makeover will be back next Sunday. The local news called this show the season finale so hopefully that means they will be back next season! But to all those who were involved with this show I say may God bless them royally for a job well done :!:

Blessings to you all :!:
