Ne-Yo and Jamie Foxx (left and right, above) were just two of the big stars that hit the stage tonight to honor the memory of Michael Jackson at the Michael Forever tribute concert.

Jennifer Hudson was supposed to be among the performers, but tweeted just before the show, "To my uk fans that were coming to the mj show in wales. I will no longer be attentding due to major production issues."

Its good to see people show love for MJ.
These are the REAL fans (celebrity-wise)

[~Souza~]

Seriously, it's just passed 9pm in Cardiff, is this over already? And I am missing some folks on the pictures. Does someone know someone that was there? How do we know this really was a real concert? Sorry, but this is pretty weird, or am I the only one thinking that?

I've been working all day. I didn't get to see it at all! How long did it last?
With that many big stars, there has to be footage somewhere that will leak.

[~Souza~]

Must have been a boring concert... Is it me or does it look like they have offered free seats and are people sorry they even attended?



Where are all the fans with gloves and fedoras? The only one I see seems to be photoshopped into the picture. Sorry, but I have a hard time believing this actually happened. There is something strange with those pictures, it seems staged. I really would like to hear from someone who was there.

Blanket crying?





 :cry:

[MissG]

Sad Blanket 


those faces looks disspointed, and yes, the fedora and glove fan looks photoshopped.


This tribute...has happened or not?

[Vietnow]

Blanket crying?





 :cry:

Not a good sign at all.

[TheMoonIsDancing]

I don't like to see Blanket, or any child cry!

[blankie]

Dear little Blanket.... bearhug :| ...We love you so much !!! bearhug

[~Souza~]

Blanket may be crying for numerous reasons, if it's real anyway. I don't know if and how often the kids see their dad, but if it's not that much or not at all, then I can understand his sadness. It's harder to explain to such a little kid, the other two are older and more independent.

He's beautiful by the way. Gonna break a lot of hearts as he grows older.

[blankie]

Excuse me... / Do you see Michael's immages? /

Maybe that Blanket was a little overwhelmed by what was going on, he is still a young child and can have difficulties to find his marks in such situations. I am sure that Blanket will smile again very soon if not yet already.  :

And with this news becomes more suspect...
 
  Plug Pulled On Facebook Live Stream Of Michael Jackson Tribute Concert

Bad news for fans of the King of Pop: The Facebook livestream of Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert has been canceled.
Facebook commerce outfit Milyoni had teamed up with Ridgeline Entertainment for the October 8 event from Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which will be hosted by Jamie Foxx, with scheduled performers including Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, The Black Eyed Peas, Jennifer Hudson, and Smokey Robinson.



The event is still scheduled to proceed, but it won’t stream on Facebook. Milyoni explained in a statement:
Due to legal challenges brought by the music labels that own the rights to Michael Jackson’s lyrics, we have been notified by concert promoters Global Live Events and Ridgeline Entertainment that the live Facebook broadcast of the Michael Forever tribute concert has been canceled. As the technology provider behind the live Facebook broadcast, Milyoni will fully refund all customers who pre-purchased access to the concert using Facebook Credits or PayPal.

Milyoni Chief Executive Officer John Corpus added:
While social media presents a new opportunity for artists and concert promoters to reach global audiences, it is still a new and disruptive frontier ripe with challenges. Milyoni will continue to work closely with our music and entertainment partners to pursue this new channel of distribution, beneficial to both artists and fans worldwide.
If you’ve ever bought tickets for an event that got canceled, we’d love to hear from you in the comments section — what was the refund procedure like?
