Michael Jackson Will Tour Europe!

Posted by ExtraTV Staff on June 25, 2007 8:00 AM


Hoping to spark a comeback and capitalize on his popularity overseas, Michael Jackson is planning a European tour, sources said.

A source with deep ties to the music industry and Jackson's camp said, "He's still big in Europe and Japan. He's very popular in England. He's planning a tour."

One thing is for sure, Americans don’t see Jackson as the same superstar that he was 20 years ago.

His comeback attempts came to a screeching halt when he moved to Las Vegas in December with hopes to drum up interest in his music.

But apparently no offers were made for a show, and it seemed as if people just couldn’t forget the years of musical missteps and disturbing child abuse allegations.

A casino talent booker said that Las Vegas entertainment executives considered him “too radioactive at this time.”

Jackson’s last number one hit was “You Are Not Alone” – and that was 12 years ago. His last concert was in 2001.

Its no wonder we have so much dislike and hatred in the world. The man was proven Innocent! He’s innocent. Why do these commentators speculate that he isn’t a hit in the US. We love Michael here. The man albums still goes to no. 1 and sales millions. Who really expects him to outdo Thriller! For as long as he’s been in the game, he still outsales the best out there. His last album went to no. 1, here in the U.S. so stop the lies. He’s often immitated but as the Guiness Book of world records has proven time and time again, He can never be duplicated. King of Pop, that’s not a statement from fans. It’s a reality in black and white! Deal with it. His upcoming project will go to no. 1. Anyone care to wager that it want? I def would like to hear from the person who wrote this article, since you seem to think the US doesn’t care about Michael.

I wish people would just leave Michael Jackson alone and let the man live his life. We are not god and it is not up to us to judge anyone. First of all like his song said take a look at the man in the mirror and then think about things you have done in your life. So how would you feel if people kept throwing stone at you. He who is without sin let them cast the first stone.

Number 1 superstar from start to finish.Throughout the years MJ as grown on our hearts as an extrordinary,multitalented individual.I personally think that the public needs to see the star back in action.If any truth being in us,we can strongly say that if it werent for michael Jackson and few others like James Brown,Steve wonder and Ray charles the music world wouldnt be what it is today.We all would be kicking back soon and listening to the tunes of king

I would love to go see Michael Jackson in concert in Vegas. I have been wanting to go see him in concert since I was three. I hope that he gets that chance because I think we all deserve a second chance when things go bad in are lives. I think that if we look at a person with only are eyes in stand of are hearts we well ever know the wonderful person that they really are at heart. I think that some people do that to Michael Jackson. they look only with there eyes and, say and think what they want to think and say about him as a bad person with out a caring part in his body. and to tell you the truth Im rely getting tired of all this and I know that Michael Jackson is too. he wants to have a normal life but sometimes it’s really hard for someone like him to go any were with out being seen or someone finding out he is around. what Im try to say give him a chance as a person and as a writer in music.

Love you Michael!! you rock !!
