With regards to the new album, ‘Xscape,’ I feel that ignoring “the elephant in the room” would be stupid…allow me to explain. We are more than aware that ever since this album was announced, a minority of fans with large voices, have spoken out against the release. Their arguments are:
- The Estate are just money grabbers
- We shouldn’t support Sony, as Michael hated Sony
- Michael wouldn’t want any songs he didn’t complete released
- After the ‘Michael’ album with “fake songs” in 2010, we shouldn’t support ‘Xscape’
- People shouldn’t be making money off a dead man
Whilst everyone is entitled to their opinions, I feel strongly that Michael Jackson should still be successful, and in doing so, I want to set the record straight. I’m not part of the Michael Jackson Estate and therefore am not under any obligation to produce this article to support them. I just want to help get Michael Jackson to number one in 2014!
I would therefore like to answer arguments about this project as I see it:
1) Some think the Estate are money grabbers We must remember as fans that whilst the Estate employees will be paid, money made by the projects they produce also go to charities as Michael requested and to his children. These are the biggest benefactors.
2) Some believe we shouldn’t support Sony Michael had a well documented fall out with his record company in 2002. However, his anger was towards the then Chairman CEO Tommy Mottola. Mottola left the company in 2003 and Michael signed a new contract with Sony in 2008 to release ‘Thriller 25.’ This clearly shows that Michael was at peace with Sony and was happy to work with them. If Michael was happy, we should be happy.
