The Jackson'sJanet #17Janet, Latoya & RebbieJanet J. May Lead Jackson’s Tour & Michael’s Burial

 

Timing is everything as Michael Jackson will be place in his final resting place on his 51st birthday and what is billed as a simple ceremony, but will his fans allow it to be simple?  Michael will be placed to rest at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park according to several sources 3rd party information of an unnamed source close to the family.  What I hear is that this will be temporary and the family has much bigger plans for the King of Pop, but only time will tell.  In any case this saga ends for now.

 

There are rumors swirling about a Jackson Family tour to be led by Janet and Jermaine Jackson as the stars or headliners.  There is word that Janet is working on new material for her upcoming album,  As Jermaine has been tweaking the music technology DAW as he entered the home studio thing, there is no telling what the Jackson have in stored to their fans in 2010.

 

It is not clear who will be promoting the tour you have Live Nation, AEG Live and ALLGood Entertainment who has been silent since Michael’s death and claimed they have a contract for the performance of the Jackson Family.  I do not know if Michael’s death nullifies the deal or did they officially opt out, but something has to be put on paper in order for the Jackson’s plans to be sue-proof.  You know how it goes after success old law suit surface.

IsoPacs E, F, and G are fully enclosed voice over booths that can also function as an instrument isolation booth. They are offered in a 4’, 5’ and 6’ diameter size.

The IsoPac H is a portable, small sized vocal / voice-over booth that is best suited for interpretation functions or as a voice over booth. The booth has a 5.5′ height, is 5.5′ across and 4.5′ deep.

These voice over and vocal booths are lightweight and portable. The acrylic wraps around the front of the booth, while the Sorber panels wrap around the rear. Since Sorber panels don’t actually connect to the ClearSonic Panels, you can simply use one side of an S5-2 (two sections hinged together) as a “door” for easy entry.

Adobe AuditionAcid Pro 7c not compatible with Vista 64

 

I am on the verge of going with a new home studio arrangement, because Acid Pro 7c does not support Vista 64; it crashes constantly, I decided to replace Acid with Adobe Audition 3.0.1.  There are pros and cons to this decision.  The main plus is I get to use my Acid files seamlessly and get to use more VSTi and VST in the setup.  Audition is superior to Acid.  As with Acid I can Rewire Reason 4.0.1, the con is I cannot Rewire Audition with Cubase Studio 4.5.2 which is my program of choice to use as a recording studio.  Hopefully in the near future Sony will come up with a Pro 7d that is compatible with Vista 64 bits OS.

 

Another dimension tot the pro is that though Cubase supports Acid Loops it is not seamless, you have to copy and paste or copy and paste repeat and it does not always align the way you want it to.  Audition will draw the loops like Acid Pro as the FX is more readily available on the Audition tracks.  In my opinion Audition is like having Acid and Sound Forge in one.  The transition will be a learning experience but I think it will be well worth the training.  I guess my configuration simply outgrew Sony.

PaulGive me Credit where it is due & save the blame game

 

I do not know what you are talking about, however some what good news is that my Uncle Eston Roberts is finally waking up after surgery on Friday; I guess the operation took a lot out of him.  Maybe if he comes to New York City we might find him a kidney

 

There is a lot going on but I do not see how I am responsible, I mean nobody ask me for permission to be sanctioned, I mean you have a lot of renegades out there today.  Nobody comes to me for a blessing before their actions anymore, so in reality are they frauds?  Yes I made a request for the services of Denzel, Janet, Alicia, Beyonce, Vanessa, Ice T, Tito, Jackie and Jermaine, my nephew Anthony, Martin, Bobby and John Junior and a few more people but that movie is all good

 

I mean people make a mockery out of what is a code of loyalty and are imitators instead of innovators.  I mean you have this crew out of Atlanta trying to make a name for themselves in Las Vegas calling themselves Ocean 7, but they are not sanctioned, Frank Sinatra was sanctioned by the Don as is Michael Jackson, but I do not approve of Jermaine Dupri as the new act out of Las Vegas, talking about fun is jumping into the pool in a $6,000 tuxedo, now I am all for Michael Jackson opening a Thriller Casino in Las Vegas and working behind the scenes on my movie, “Everybody has Demons.”  It can be done for $15 to $20 Million but I want to market it at $30 Million for promotional purposes.

 

People may not know but my father Don Carlo Gambino was known for wearing $200 suits, he was not a very flashy guy, what John Gotti did was attracted the media attention and took the heat off of people such as me, took a fall and walked out the back door.  All to say all the stupidity and negativity do not try to blame me for it, give me credit where it is due.  The seeds I am planting are beautiful and the seeds I planted were successful, it was when people stop including me in their lives that shit went haywire.  Do Rhythm Nation 1814 and Thriller ring a bell?  These are examples of endorsed works.  And I am personally disappointed that something could not be worked out with AllGood Entertainment for the one night show in Texas.  Patrick and Michael are disappointments and they need to sit down like business men who are both authorized and resolve their differences.

 

The Message of the Day

 

Uranus in your birth sign is liable to be rather disruptive today but nothing will happen that you cannot handle. A friend who is having it rough at the moment may need a shoulder to cry on. Yours is always available.

Denzel WashingtonScreenplay Casting & Family Business

 

My nephew said something to me that resonated; he said never do business with family and friends, but I happen to disagree.  His rational was if they get upset they will halt your project if they can out of emotions.  I found that I was doing exactly that, for personal reasons, I decided to stop feeding the Janet’s crew with music, song and ideas; instead I have to see it through and see where the chips fall at the end.  I have to separate family relations and business.

 

Not to say I am not working on my own project, but I know my material is very controversial and provocative, and that is the intentions and I am not sure if Janet can get away with singing some on my lyrics, but almost always the music is very good or better that that, I can turn a beat and if you listen to music today the vocals are cool but the lyrics are senseless and the music sucks, so we will see, where this goes.

 

I put out screenplays to be looked over and have not received any responses, this is how I want it done in any case, and without given the screen away I will say this.

 

The screenplay Casting Wish List:

 

Executive Producer Michael Jackson & Denzel Washington

Director: Denzel Washington – A $20 to $30 Million + Budget plus a percentage of the take to the performers if successful.  My casting selections are for consistency of the screenplay, there is rhyme to the reasons.

 

Sister Peace – Janet Jackson

Aisha – Alicia Keys

Sharon – Beyonce

Maria – a Dark Puerto Rican or half Puerto Rican Actress from New York City

Momma – Vanessa Williams

 

Dirty Old Man – Martin Lawrence – This will make it funny and easy for Beyonce

 

Rayvon – Anthony Williams

Jake – Actor for Down South chosen by Denzel

Marlon – West Indian Actor

Rev. Dr. Love – Dr. Bob Lee of WBLS

Shotgun – Tito Jackson

Big Ray – Jackie Jackson

 

Secret Agent – John A. Gotti Jr.

Message of the Day

 

Something you did for a friend or relative or work colleague a few months ago will be repaid in full over the next few days. Your critics may say you don’t deserve what you gain but that’s jealousy talking. Ignore them.

 

 

MJJThings to do at home and work

 

This will be short and sweet, I do not know where Jam and Lewis is with technology these days, but I have a few tips for Janet Jackson, I admit I know more than I can do and I have learned a lot things in the  past few months.  However, I am saddened by the fact that during my most vulnerable moments they tried to stick the dagger in me, I have to wonder if they want me dead or do not take my emotional pain serious,  Anyway:

 

I have everything I need to do my secret project, it will take few months, but I disagree with the no show with AllGood Entertainment, it was a great opportunity to exploit the new material in 2010 and save on music videos expenses, I want it back on, “your word is your bond.”  All I want is one of two things other than what was mentioned, either Janet takes Jermaine Dupri out of her vocabulary completely or look me in the face and tell me different than what I have been saying all along.  Because I know the one thing Janet cannot do is look me in the face and deny me and she knows it.  This can be done anytime at any place, but do not commercialize me I am not a media whore.  This is the one power I did not give Janet, twhich is to deny me face to face.

 

The Message of the Day

 

Misunderstandings of one sort or another are likely today, so make sure you spell out in plain and simple language what it is you expect of other people both at home and at work. And, if they do get it wrong, don’t make matters worse by getting angry. Stay calm.

Animated Video about JD and Janet and the Tattoo Funny

I could not resist posting this You Tude Video it is all jokes.

Alicia #14Alicia, MJJ, John Gotti, Janet & Issues

 

There are soon immediate issues that need mentioning:

 

Alicia:

 

I do not like what Swizz Beatz included in his song concerning her, it was rude at a minimum, it was not an act of love, and he is telling everyone he found a sugar momma.  So what next Alicia has to raise his child and take care of his wife, just to get her groove on, it is low self esteem, but we did it to her.  This relationship is a career killer, but she is grown and can make her own decisions and may well learn the hard way, at the end she will have shoulder to cry on and him a price to pay. She has been through enough, as did Janet as well.

 

Michael Jackson:

 

I concur with Michael I do not like pay per view and it is lazy promotions.  I want 1,800 to 2,200 movie theaters for three weeks initially selected for their visual productions and great sound.  I want Monster Energy Drink as a sponsor the project to be sold at the venues with no alcohol being sold and I want a deal struck with AAFES Reel-Time Theaters. 

 

They have a huge economy that is not affected by the recession, but is benefiting from it as we are in war and 6,500 screens are owned by AAFES, that would be a start and would cover at a minimum the retainer fees.  If we go USO we might be able to strike a deal with AAFES seamlessly.  Patrick need to file an application with the USO which has to be done six months in advance and not the courts because  the O2 in London has nothing to do with these negotiations the issues here are  logistics, Patrick needs to work on the project he has to offer instead of making quickie offers, using blackmail tactics, we have plenty of time to put this show together.

 

Finally, I do not know how he figured out the salaries if Michael is guaranteed $3 Million Janet get a guarantee of $1.5 million and the brother to include Randy gets 750,000, and half comes in advance as a retainer and on the day of the retainer we have a contract and the promotions can begin.

 

John Gotti Junior:

 

I understand his case ended in a mistrial on 11 May 2009, they can try him again and again, but we all know it is me.  I want him to run a Gambino Enterprise for me and negotiated in my name with Patrick Allocco.  I want John to be a part of Gambino Productions in fact he can have Gambino Records and sign his nephews once we establish the companies.  I think this will be good for John he needs a legal identity.

 

Ideas and Reputation:

 

If you think I went through all of this to die famous you are stupid, who cares what people think of me after I die?  I plan to be around for a very long time and if I fail to do this I failed in life and will be remember as a man with a dram unrealized.  The secret is in the stem cells.  If Bill Gates can sell the operating system to computers Gambino Pharmaceuticals will and can create and deliver to the world the operating system of mankind expending life astronomically.  Expanding life in this world will be my mark or there will be no mark.  My current goal is 150 years of healthy living and that can turn to 300 if accomplished.

 

Message of the day:

 

You have a burning desire to create something that lasts, something you can be proud of, something that will still be there long after you have gone. You will get your wish over the next 12 months. Whatever that something might be it will make your reputation.

Today’s Sun-Mercury union will bring a rush of new ideas but don’t be too eager to act on them yet. You won’t know for certain if they are the right ideas for you until Mercury turns direct at the end of the month. Take your time and get it right.

o2arena-leftPatrick Allocco Switches Position on Michael’s O2

 

I want MJ’s fans to know that we always put Michael’s and the family’s interest above our own. We were told by Michael that he had “another commitment” and he would perform our show as long as it didn’t conflict. When it was confirmed that he was talking about the London dates, we were always amenable to working around the shows. When MJ told us that he would perform our show when he came back from London, we agreed to a summer 2010 date. Unlike other individuals or companies who have filed lawsuits against MJ seeking astronomical damages, we are trying to put a historic amount of money back into his pocket through our one night only U.S. concert.

 Joe & MJJ #1

It looks like Michael Jackson and Patrick Allocco came to a tentative agreement, we know Janet Jackson is working on her new album and is very busy these days, behind the spotlights and it is certain she will not be touring with her siblings.  However her album release date is sometime in the spring of 2010 and there is still the possibility of her showing up for one show to be aired worldwide.  It would certainly help promote her album and possible tour to do a high powered 45 minutes performance in a three hours Jackson’s extravaganza.

 Janet #24

There was talk of a two million dollar retainer; I think three is more in line which can partially be advanced by Monster Energy Drinks, who is to make monster profits if this gets off the ground.  Patrick would have to submit an application with the USO and include in the rider some type of arrangement with AAFES Reel-Time Theaters, which has 6,500 screens in old school type theaters opposed to multiplex type theaters.  I think the destiny of this project highly depends on Patrick’s preparations which must start now.

The Jackson FamilyThe Jackson Family Virtual Concert and Magic Show

I received another letter from Mr. Patrick Allocco the President/CEO of AllGood Entertainment. Both side being the Jackson Family and AllGood Entertainment wants to play ball, however I see them miles apart as far as Logistics, we want a realistic plan as to how he plans to pull this off and the investment capital and guaranteed salary for the commitment, I feel the current plan is destined to fail.  I am not going to seat in front of a computer to watch a concert I have to pay for.

The timing has to be strategic; Hollywood will almost certainly going put something out on the 4th of July weekend that is big and we can be that, we have to have committed seats in the theaters for this to work and hope our choice is the choice of the movie goers on that weekend and the following two weekends.  As I suggested he book AAFES Reel-Time Theaters for a start we are talking about 6,500 screens whereby many of the theaters are old school and not multiplex, they have a 7,000 seat theater in Iraq.  In fact if it is going to be an all day shoot to tape the show I would consider inviting many of our troops because they are discipline and deserve to be a part of this history, the first showing or only stage show can be a USO show and the logistics for the show can be handled by the Military as far as stage engineers and so forth, transportation, you know the list, sound engineers must I name the whole entourage?

We give the USO the show and in return the AAFES commit the theaters to us on July 3rd and the talent fees will be covered by the USO.  I do not expect Patrick to commit a bunch of seats all at once, but start the promotions and sell seats to theaters in advance 10 or 20 theaters at a time for the big day.  In fact the show has to be before 3 July 2010 to show it on that day if he wants to professionally tape it.

I know it is Michael’s dream to have a magic show and Janet deserves one also and by taping it we can include effects unheard of at a concert, we can bill this show as the Jackson Family Virtual Concert and Magic Show and invest 10 million on a big show with all the trimmings and give the people what they pay for.  Patrick Allocco has to stop bickering about London and start doing his damn job, with is to promote the big show.  If the investment capital, logistical planning and foreseeable return is there we will also be there, but currently he is doing a poor job promoting the show.  And I want the sponsorship of Monster Energy Drinks, who will reach over 50,000 GI’s at one time at the Football Arena, not to mention all the people millions of people who will go to the theaters to see the show.  The soldier cannot drink alcohol in the middle east, but can drink Monster Energy Drinks.

 AAFES 5 Year Statistics in Millions

Doing business with AAFES can be a very profitable arrangement, whereby the military is 100% employed and AAFES hires over 45,000 people in addition to the military 1.1 Million personal currently on active duty in the United States Military, which is well kept secret consumers paradise whom have requested more than once they want better entertainment and the USO can deliver and that is the theme I want for this show.
