I just read the Michael Jackson Estate's FAQ response to fans on why there hasn't been so much output. I have thoughts....

First of all, here it is for you to see for yourself: https://www.michaeljackson.com/faq/why-doesnt-the-estate-doesnt-release-more-projects/

Now, I get it. The Estate has done a lot since MJ died in terms of "output." Live shows, cirque de soliel, the On The Wall art exhibit in Europe. Ok, fine.

The best of the bunch has been the Visions short films collection, BAD25 Box Set & Spike's BAD25 & Off The Wall documentaries.

But COME ON! The Cirque De Soleil shows, Broadway Musical, the Scream Halloween cartoon? MJ fans didn't ASK for any of this. The estate is clearly trying to pander to the general public instead of pleasing Mike's core fanbase.

This is particularly evident when it mentioned how "Leaving Neverland" had a negative impact on companies willing to license MJ's name after that doc dropped. STILL, the estate has made $2 Billion (w a/ B) since MJ's been gone. Can they not afford to distribute on their own?

Now, they said that things have cooled down now that folks have seen the cracks in James & Wade's stories, but to blame COVID-19 as well? That don't fly with me.

Projects like BAD25 are usually a year in the making. It's clear that they had nothing significant planned for 2019 or 2020. That's BS to me.

They knew the following album anniversaries were coming:

Destiny (40, 2018)
Off The Wall (40, 2019)
Victory (35, 2019)
Triumph (40, 2020)
HIStory (25, 2020)

Nothing. NOTHING.

Now, Thriller's 40th in coming in two years. They better get their shit together for that one.

Hell, I can help them if they need it. Watch.
