Michael Jackson vs. $ony

[theidolhands]

As one fan shouted, “Michael is getting gangsta today!”

More angry!Michael (although he smiles a lot)It’s quite a speech - shockingly honest, particularly about Sony & business; He made me laugh at his blatant disgust, but other things he says are now sadly ironic. It’s also worth listening to his creative process and business sensibilities, as

I love his strength and how confident he sounded during the speech.

You can clearly see how angry he was but he tried controlling and managed to successfully.

I've always hated Sony and the way they they take advantage of their artists, especially the ones who make good music and of gr8 personalities.

I'm glad that MJ, ditched me this way.

Loved it when he said ? "The Best is yet to come!"

Well said MJ

YOU TELL 'EM MICHAEL!!

Sony and Tommy Mottola (which are basically one and the same) really did try and tear Michael's career down after he left, he was just too strong of a person, and too strong of an artist to let them bring him down. Michael cares so much about the music, and the ART, and the FANS, US, that he refuses to let them bring him down and I admire him more for that. Michael finally stood up, told them he wasn't going to let Sony run over him, and basically told Sony to sod off in the end. GO MICHAEL!!

I remember being shocked when I first read about this and I have heard about Michael's business uh...balls guts and it was quite something to actually SEE and HEAR both of those things in action. Ah hah!

And yet, he's still Michael, his manner is quite different from a starchy businessman -- musta driven them nuts.
