    this line-up is in serious need of salvation

    Xtina is cool though, Leona did justice to “they dont really care about us” so i hope she brings it

    whats your qualm with JLS guys, they’ve been performing MJ songs since their xfactor days

    the line-up just doesnt make u scream MJ

  9. Nana Applehead (Nana Yaw) August 11, 2011

  10. Rossie August 11, 2011

  15. Them other chicks are superficial (queenbey) August 11, 2011

    This list suck major ass!!

    Where is Whitney Houston, User, Chris Brown, Pattie Labelle, Celon Dion and most importantly Prince????

    I just hope they dont ask Jennefier Hudson to perform.

  16. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 11, 2011

    @MALIBU BARBIE You said it yourself.He is the king, so you’ll never ever see a “fitting” tribute, because noone can reach him.All you need to be anticipating is artists that will honor him and do a well executed tribute.If you’re expecting something as good as MJ’s performances, then you’ll have to wait for a LONG LONG time.

  17. Them other chicks are superficial (queenbey) August 11, 2011

    @MALIBU BARBIE- No shade but…..

    I would agree with ur list if u took Ciara, Neyo and Lil Kim off…..

  18. PaigeJ August 11, 2011

    Robyn Rihanna Fenty
    Mariah Carey
    Lady Gaga
    Usher

  25. Aaliyah August 11, 2011

    Oh Rihanna is quite busy the month of October as she has concerts every other day/every day… I can’t see her flying all the way from Europe and then back again. She is only a human being and needs rest in between shows……. Hm.

  26. King B August 11, 2011

    This tribute concert kinda feels forced to me. IDK.

  27. lol August 11, 2011

    i think Usher,Chris Brown Jason Derulo,Neyo,Beyonce,Gaga,X tina,Prince,RKelly ,Frank Ocean and Bruno Mars all should be performing

  28. Andy88 August 11, 2011

    Jesus Christ JLS are about as relevant as a nokia 3210 for this event!

  29. kody3x August 11, 2011

    Hell this not even going to have of the ratings that the last tribute had back in 2001 !!!
    They should have Alicia Keys, Mary J Blidge, Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Beyonce, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Chris Brown, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars etc., !
    NOT JUSTIN BIEBER, JLS, OR 3TJ OR WHATEVER THEIR NAMES ARE !!!!!!!!!!

  37. True Skarlet August 11, 2011

    Im happy about Leona Lewis and Xtina but….. JLS? I don’t know, maybe they will do the Jackson 5 songs. I don’t know 3T and Smokey Robinson and Craig David.

  38. Rossie August 11, 2011

    they need
    Janelle Monae
    Mary J Blige
    Beyonce
    Britney Spears
    Prince
    Stevie Wonder
    Diana Ross
    Mariah Carey
    Celine Dion

    *stank face*

  40. jamir21: Bey,Rhi,Brit,Mimi,Mike,Gaga >>>> Keri ! August 11, 2011

    @ Rossie 100 % CO-SIGN !

  41. Them other chicks are superficial (queenbey) August 11, 2011

    @ROSSIE- Woooow.

    Just take off Jason Derulo, Taio Cruz, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Black Eye Peas, and Kelly Rowland and ur list will be perfect. 😉

  42. bey’knight August 11, 2011

    u guys are looking at it fom the wrong perspective while it’s befiiting to have legends like Prince included in the line-up, i think a few upcoming artists wi balance the scale too, it would serve as a platform for them which will only heighten’s MJ legacy. First and foremost it should be about MJ the lists am seeing here looks could make the entire thing end up being an egofest
    besides just cause a person is famous doesnt mean they can take on an MJ classic. they ae meant to perform not deliver eulogy

  43. lol August 11, 2011

    ———————————————————-
    Every current working Black male artist in Pop n Rnb
    needs to do a tribute to the King of POP

  44. jamir21: Bey,Rhi,Brit,Mimi,Mike,Gaga >>>> Keri ! August 11, 2011

    @ Queenbey No KEEP RIHANNA AND BRITNEY !!!!!!!
    AND TAKE OFF TAIO CRUZ, JASON DERULO, BLACK EYED PEAS, !
    KELLY CAN PERFORM WITH BEYONCE !!!!!!

  45. Rossie August 11, 2011

    they also need Marsha Ambrouious ( she wrote butterflies for MJ)

  46. Legendtina VOICELERA August 11, 2011

    CHRISTINA AGUILERA WILL OWN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Christina used to sing Michael Jackson songs when she was very young. Her favorite album is “Bad”.

    I hope she sings something like “Dirty Diana”, only because it would sound EXTRAORDINARILY AMAZING WITH HER VOCALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    VOICELERA WILL SAVE THIS TRIBUTE CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which would otherwise sound not so great….. LOL, not to step on anyone’s toes, but this is the truth.

  47. mobwife August 11, 2011

    I’m not pleased with this list! It also reveals the B******* stated by hating ass TMZ & B***** was a complete lie. They claimed that Cee Lo Green was the only person who accpeted an invitation though I see his name is not listed!! I HATE THE AMERICAN MEDIA!

    I’m wondering why they are doing this MJ tribute at this point? Why in October? Didn’t he die in June and his birthdate in August? Why now and why October?

    Anyway I would love to see:

    ~Chris Brown (I know he’ll be on tour….maybe do a skype Beyonce BET Award type thing)
    ~Usher
    ~Ne-Yo
    ~Ciara
    ~Beyonce
    ~Prince
    ~Bruno Mars
    ~Missy Elliot (if she’s up too it)
    ~Ginuwine

    No disrespect to the ppl listed but —> WTF?? Who is putting this event on? Is this a Jackson family or the Sony Music Group’s event? Perhaps they should hold an event when ppl who really should be there can actually attend and perform! I hate how ugly the fixed lying American media will try to twist the absence of some individuals into a slight against MJ! Some who actually loved MJ wont be able to attend due to their own events/tours etc (Chris Brown, Kanye are 2 that come to mind)!!

  48. Rossie August 11, 2011

    their doing to the tribute because it’s the 40th Anniversary of his career (yall remember that big 30th anniversary concert MJ threw at MSG) well I guess they want to do it in london were he was going to play his last shows.

  49. jamir21: Bey,Rhi,Brit,Mimi,Mike,Gaga >>>> Keri ! August 11, 2011

    Here is my list !
    Rihanna
    Beyonce
    Britney Spears
    Lady Gaga
    Usher
    Mariah Carey
    Chris Brown (even though he will be on tour he can do a satellite thing like bey did)
    Lionel Richie
    Stevie Wonder
    Patti LaBelle
    Mary J Blidge
    Alicia Keys
    Prince
    Areatha Franklin
    Gladys Kinght
    Dionne Warwick
    Marc Anthony
    Justin Timberlake
    Paul McCartney
    Elton John
    Shakira
    Celine Dion
    Madonna
    Cher
    Jamie Foxx
    Bruno Mars
    Janelle Monae
    Marsha Ambrouious
    Jill Scott
    Janet Jackson *ughh*
    and Ledisie !
    You know what I am going to stop treating Janet so bad because that is Mike`s sister and I dont think that Mike would like that !

  50. jamir21: Bey,Rhi,Brit,Mimi,Mike,Gaga >>>> Keri ! August 11, 2011

    and also Liza Minelli can perform too !

  51. mobwife August 11, 2011

    @Rossie

    I would exclude a few names but you compiled a pretty good list overall! I forgot about J. Timberlake. He and Chris Brown were the 2 ppl MJ listed as his favorite young artists during a televised call GMA made to him on his 50th birthday (see Youtube)!

  52. Kyle Meade August 11, 2011

    Man every1 calm down, this is only the 1st set of performers. They’ll probably announce more exciting acts closer to the time…excited about xtina and leona though…but having JLS is just an insult.

  53. kody3x August 11, 2011

    @lol i still cant believe you said frank ocean why the f*** would they ask him

  54. Rossie August 11, 2011

    I don’t think Aretha will attend she hates flying!

  55. LaLa August 11, 2011

    Wasn’t Kanye in a verge to say Yes for MJ’s tribute?
    So Happy that I could see Leona, Xtina & Craig David performance.
    & FYI…. 3T was a Trio back in the 90’s (all of them are MJ’s Nieces)

  56. jennifer August 11, 2011

    NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

  57. VA STAND UP!! August 11, 2011

    Well….Christina & Leona are incredible singers and Smokey Robinson is dope but those other fools get a *side eye*. JLS?!?!? Really? I’m sure they are gonna add other names to the list but as of right now it’s looking like it is gonna be lame.

    For all the people saying Chris he was asked, but has already announced that he wasn’t going to be able to participate because he is gonna be on tour and he has a show the day it is supposed to air.

    Like I said the other post, I really think they are over doing it with the tributes at this point. No one can stop the family from honoring thier brother & son, but it just looks like they are capitalizing off his name. Its been two years since he has died and they’re STILL doing tributes! Every damn award show on the planet has done a tribute to him already and he had the big memorial concert back in 2009, what else is there left to do? Pretty much every big name in the business was at the memorial back in 2009. Mariah, Usher, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Elizabeth Taylor, EVERYBODY! All of his family and people that were close to MJ were there (CB was there but didn’t perform for obvious reasons) and they all got a chance to pay their respect and it was broadcast all over the world! I can understand if they were gonna do one on like the 10 year anniversary of his death, but now after all the other recent tributes it just seems pointless.

    Janet did her thing at the VMA’s and killed it, and of course Breezy shut the stage down at the BET Awards last year. I don’t care what anyone says no one will be able to top those two performances, ESPECIALLY CB’s tribute! It was amazing!!

    They may be able to pull some big names together but I doubt they are gonna be able to top any of the other tributes or pull in a crowd like at the 2009 memorial. If they announce some names like Usher, Prince or Beyonce maybe I will be interested but as of right now…..blah.

  58. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN August 11, 2011

    Jls? I hope that’s a joke. Of all the artists in the world to pay tribute to the great Micheal Jackson, why would they even think they’d be upto it!

  59. mobwife August 11, 2011

    I’m sorry but I’m a tad confused? O__0

    Oct 8 isn’t this 2 weeks after the Conrad Murry trial in CA begins? So are they going to be at the trail or organizing and overseeing this event in the UK? This concert tribute seems rushed and a tad forced. I loved MJ and very much enjoyed his live performances both at award shows and in concert. I would really like to see a WELL CRAFTED tribute to MJ and not something thrown together. The CNN article says it will be a 4 hour event! That’s gonna be insane!

  60. S*** August 11, 2011

    MJ is NON-FACTOR to the KING & QUEEN!!!!:

    Jayz Highest Earning Person in HIP HOP??

    Bey sells out in Le4ss than a Minute??

    Jay z #1 all over the world?? (& Bey was too)

    KING B, Forbes: Most Powerful Black Women in the World?? (Beating OPRAH??)

    I know the HATERS & GORILLAS must be mad as hell! lol and all kelly rowland can do is flash her ugly titties. lol

    Beyonce isnt IN the industry, she IS the Industry!!

  61. troy August 11, 2011

    @queenbey i’d really appreciate it if you’d jump off ciara… because if anything she and chrisbrown are the only two capable off performing a solid tributeto michael…(if you have doubts see her on george lopeaz)… jus saying but nohate… i accept and honor your opinion… but still now jus watch dat george lopez…performance

  62. jamir21: Bey,Rhi,Brit,Mimi,Mike,Gaga >>>> Keri ! August 11, 2011

    Hopefully this tribute will not be as crappy like the one BET did !!!!!!!!
    Disrespecting MJ !!!!!
    BET you are so wrong for that !!
    Hopefully they used the artists I listed expect for Chris since he is not going to be there !!

  63. kody3x August 11, 2011

    @s*** did yo say beyonce is a better performer than the king are you crazy thats the best performer all time

  64. Them other chicks are superficial (queenbey) August 11, 2011

    @LOL-

    Every black or white artist in Pop or RNB HAS TO EARN THE RIGHT TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE KING OF POP!

  65. jamir21: Bey,Rhi,Brit,Mimi,Mike,Gaga >>>> Keri ! August 11, 2011

    @ S*** That is so disrespectful to THE KING OF POP !!!!!!!!!
    I love Beyonce and MJ but MJ is way better…..
    MJ has 18 grammys and sold over 300 million records and 13 number one singles you better respect him NOW !

  66. noodles August 11, 2011

    People like Chris, Bruno Mars, and Justin Bieber declined due to their scheule. A date from the F.A.M.E Tour is on the 8th for Chris so he can’t be there.

    I feel tributes are nice but they should have gotten a REAL line-up together(JLS???) then scheduled a date because half the people they wanted there can’t make it. But I hope it goes well.

  67. Rossie August 11, 2011

    the reason their doing this tribute is because of MJ’s 40th Anniversary in showbiz (Remember the big 30th Anniversary Show?) yeah there maybe alot of tribute that have been put together in the last 2 years for the king of pop, but there can never be enough.

  68. S*** August 11, 2011

    LOL @ B****** suggesting Bey would play a Part in this Madness!! 😆

    If anything Rihanna, Chris Brown, Usher, Britney Spears, Prince, Mariah, Leona Lewis, Kelly ETC Should be performing Tributes to KingB!!

    The King dont perform for Lessors!!

  69. Rihstan August 11, 2011

    Seriously JLS that’s an insult to Michaels legacy.

    Love Christina though can’t wait to hear what she sings, Leona should also be really good but Craig David, wtf? Who invited him and why?

    I’d love to see Chris Brown, also ciara, actually breezy and cici would slay of they did scream! Also want beyonce also Alexandra Burke said she would like to be a part of it so I’d like to see her too

  70. S*** August 11, 2011

    Just kidding about that Last part but really Bey dont perform WITH Lessors!!, Bey would dooes Tributes for MJ ALONE, not with Lessors!!

  71. PYTFROMAL August 11, 2011

    I love you Michael . 🙂

    WTF is this? I thought they said some of the biggest names in music? Ya’ll better come CORRECT when honoring my King and this better not be the entire list or you will see some very upset MJ stans.

    That is all.

  72. Them other chicks are superficial (queenbey) August 11, 2011

    @TROY- So just bcuz Ciara can dance she should be allowed to pay tribute to The King of Pop??? 🙄

  73. jamir21: Bey,Rhi,Brit,Mimi,Mike,Gaga >>>> Keri ! August 11, 2011

    @ S*** You better respect MJ !!!
    Hopefully they get SOME of the people that I listed !!!!
    Hopefully they wont get WAKA FLOCKA, NICKI, LIL WAYNE or any other rapper except for Queen Latifah !

    *****************************

    APPLAUSE…..APPLAUSE!! VERY WELL SAID! 🙂

    I think Chris might pull a Beyonce and do a live video feed from his concert. If its possible it would be nice! I think MJ should be tributed every year but what I would love to see is an award in his honor for best dance performance and/or a humanitarian award!

    *********************************

    Yes, I do agree we can’t have too many tributes to the King of Pop, I just want them done well. This just seems rushed and “piecemealed”! And MJ had been in the business for 45 yrs he started at age 5 but I guess they are not counting his early days?

  77. MadonnaLover August 11, 2011

    If VA stand up is here, I just want to say something.
    I dont know why you dont like me. Maybe its because I dont like your fave, and I havent for a long time. But I have fans of chris brown as friends. I’m not a hater, just a disliker of your fave. As you probably are of mine. I dont mean to be hurtful or biased sometimes, but I dont mean evil. really. I’m a nice person, and I hope maybe you see that instead of bashing me all the time.
    *reposted, I dont think she saw it*

  78. MadonnaLover August 11, 2011

    #random : If mj wouldnt have been so close minded about in the closet (dont get me wrong I love the guy…but come on) we could have had an awesome duet between the king and queen of pop. Now we just have scream. Really sucks.

  79. kody3x August 11, 2011

    @madanna lover shut up you always come to a chris brown post and say im noting hating but you never said anything positive the next chris brown post you might as well not even show got it

    @kody3x
    Please leave me alone.

  81. kody3x August 11, 2011

    @madanna lover what are you a baby leave cb alone b**** we never hate on your fave

  83. MadonnaLover August 11, 2011

    Even though I dont always agree with U….. I really like this comment.

    It seem so heart felt…..

  86. VA STAND UP!! August 11, 2011

    Some of ya’ll are just naming people you like and are not thinking about how exactly they would fit.

    Frank Ocean??? *blank stares*

    Shakira? What in the actual f***?

    JLS?! Who the f*** are they?!?!

    Lady Gaga……just NO!

    Britney Spears CANNOT dance anymore! She sucks now! So how would she fit?

    Whoever said Jason de HELL no KILL YOURSELVES!!! FOH!!!

    I don’t understand why people are saying Rihanna. No shade to her stans but what the hell is she gonna do? She is not a good dancer or vocalist? What exactly is she gonna do? Chris, Usher, Janet, Ciara, would kill a dance tribute. They great performers.

    Christina, Leona, Mariah, Beyonce Patti are all great vocalist although I don’t really consider them performers. I could see Ne Yo, Alicia and even Bruno. They would all be dope as well.

    So how exactly does Rihanna fit into any of those categories? I understand she is a ‘superstar’ but that doesn’t mean she is fit to do a MJ tribute! Unless she is just gonna make an appearance. *shrugs*

    I honestly don’t even mind that CB can’t participate in it. He has paid respect to MJ more when he was alive than half the artist mentioned. CB paid tribute to MJ in his 2007 VMA performance, he performed Thriller at the WMA’s tribute back in 2007 and of course the BET Awards last year and countless other tributes at his own concert, especially during his FAT back in 2009. He has paid his respects to MJ countless times and we all know he feels about MJ.

    I’m not gonna say if he does make an appearance I’m not gonna watch but I don’t think he is gonna be there so I am not pressed. I am actually not pressed about the tribute concert at all. THe UK fans can have this.

    If VA stand up is here, I just want to say something.
    I dont know why you dont like me. Maybe its because I dont like your fave, and I havent for a long time. But I have fans of chris brown as friends. I’m not a hater, just a disliker of your fave. As you probably are of mine. I dont mean to be hurtful or biased sometimes, but I dont mean evil. really. I’m a nice person, and I hope maybe you see that instead of bashing me all the time.
    *reposted, I dont think she saw it*

    ————————————————————

    Ok…..I believe that was heartfelt! I don’t hate Madonna either ( I won’t call her “MANdonna’ anymore *giggles* ) I just don’t like her but I won’t disrespect your fave anymore. I go hard for my fave and you go hard for yours! From now on we can just agree to disagree! : )

    I ‘m a nice person too…..at times. *grins mischievously*

    Oh and I can only speak for myself. I can’t help you out with Kody3x. Sorry.

    @Them other chicks are superficial (queenbey)

    3T is a group consisting of Michael’s brother Tito’s sons (Mike’s NEPHEWS not nieces) . They were very popular back in the 90’s especially in Europe.
    ___________________________________________________________

    I’m not really digging this line up except for Smokey (icon) and Mike’s nephews… I don’t know how the others fit in this tribute, but I guess…

    Austin Brown should be part of the line up.

  99. nice_gurl August 11, 2011

    JLS should definitely not perform. I don’t know who 3T is. I think they should have Chris Brown, Usher, Beyonce, Prince, Mary J Blige in the lineup, and maybe Stevie Wonder as well.

    The only person who can give Michael a fitting tribute is Michael Jackson himself 🙂

  108. Heavy Metal Lover August 14, 2011

    Umm, where are the artists who Michael Jackson had a direct influence on such as Ciara, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, New Edition, Madonna and his sisters and brothers, this list is more embarrassing than the Aaliyah tribute list, only Kelly Rowland, like WTF?!?!, what about Ciara, Amerie, Ashanti, Mya, Kesha Chante and Cassie. I guess Kelly Rowland is aight, but I hate seeing tribute being performed by artists who are gonna be looking like “Why am I up here?”

  109. slimguy August 20, 2011

    This is a weak list. I mean afterall
    we`re talking about M.J. Iexpected to see
    a list of higher caliber of performers when it
    is finished.with the exception of
    Christina Aguleria the rest is wack.

  110. Sunny James August 24, 2011

    I was disappointed that they didn’t take the best michael jackson impersonator & put him with the original this is it tour & do the Tour
    Michael would have been proud & all that hard work of all those involved would not have been wasted & the fans would have been thrilled to still see the show

    they were already well practiced & had the dates & tickets sold

    of course we would know it wasn’t michael performing but it would have been a better tribute than what they are trying to do now
    & also why aren’t the rest of the jackson 5 doing somet type of performance as part of this existing tribute

    Michael was an amazing artist & he will be missed

  111. Natasha September 24, 2011

    – To the people asking ‘who is 3T?’
    Michael Jacksons brother Toriano Adaryll Jackson (Tito)’s three sons form the band 3T. Michael produced two songs with 3T.
