Michael Jackson's "Screw sony" Speech
Trauma-san:
Here's the transcript of what Michael Jackson said at his party saturday, some fan club had a bunch of people performing his songs, he watched for a couple hours, then got on stage and said this... Tell me what you think about his sony claim, it is kind of funny that they didn't promote his album, there's foreign record stores saying Sony won't let them reorder and stock the shelves, disc jockeys saying sony told them not to play the album anymore, his website hasn't been updated by them in a year, it sold double plat in less than a month and they don't even film another video? I mean, something's wrong somewhere. He owns half of their publishing company, because he traded them half his beatles songs, so the story goes that they want him to be damaged goods, since he's leaving them (like they did to Mariah Carey). At least that's his story. The whole speech's kinda shocking, and the whole weekend he was flipping off camera men, moonwalking in the hallways of parliament and all that crap, he's in a really strange mood for some reason... people were rumouring that he was trying to leave sony, and here's what he had to say:
-----------------------------------------------------------
"I wanna thank all the great,incredible talents.....As long as you play the music i wanna dance! (Audience screaming) Dont't do that, don't do that....I wanna thank this guy for a wonderful performance. I thought bryton McClure was amazing,too. He's a great singer as well, i mean....Bryton!...
Anyway, i first wanted to say...I don't like to talk that much.I prefer to perform....
you know....let me just say this...the tradition..the tradition of great performers....from, and i really want you to know what i say....the tradition of great performers, from sammy Davis JR, james brown,to jackie wilson, to fred astaire, gene kelly...The story is usually the same though, you know,these guys worked really hard, and they're crabbed, for the story ends the same, they usually are broken, torn and usually just sad...because the companies take advantages of them, they really do.
And, well son...sony, being the...you know, being the artist that i am, I've generated several billion dollars for sony, several billon. They really thought that my mind is always on the music and dancing-it usually is, but they never thought that this performr myself would out think them.
So...we can't let them get away with what they're trying to do, because now im a free agent.I just owe sony one more album, it's just a box set, really, with two new songs which ive written ages ago.
Because for every album thet i record, i write like, literally,I'm telling you the truth, i write....I write at least 120 songs every album i do. i can do the box set, just giving them any two songs.
So i'll be leaving sony, a free agent....owning half of sony, i own half of sony's publishing....And i'm leaving them, and they...they're very angry at me, because i, i just...i just did good buissness, you know.
So the way they get revenge is to try and destroy my album. But ive always said, you know....art, good art, never dies.(applause) Thank you.
And tommy mattola is a devil....I'm not supposed to say right now, but i have let you know this. Please don't really um, tape what i am going to say, Okay?....Do it, do it,I don't mind. tape it.
Mariah carrey, after the divorce of Tommy, came to me crying, crying.....Crying, she was crying so badly i had to hold her. She said to me that this is an evil man, and michael, this man is following me, she said. He taps her phones, and he's very, very evil, she dosen't trust him.
We have to continue or drive until he is terminated. We can't allow him to do this to Great artists.
I just wanted to let you know, I appreciate everything you've done, you've been amazing you're so loyal, everybody, all the people here, i love you all....but still, but still, I promise you, the best is yet to come!" - Michael Jackson

Fans have been boycotting sony records all over the world, and so today sony released this statement:
"Over the years Sony Music has gone to great lenghts to create and maintain a worldwide audience for Michael Jackson's music. In introducing Michael's most recent release, Invincible, to the global marketplace Sony Music created and executed a series of world-class marketing, promotion and publicity campaigns fully befitting Michael's status as a global superstar."
"We are extremely proud of all that we have accomplished on Michael Jackson's behalf and remain dedicated to further expanding the reach of Michael's music. We join his fans in celebrating the many achievements of this singular artist."
They also, last week released a statement saying that Michael doesn't owe them 200 Million dollars, like was widely stated in the press the weeks prior. That was after Michael said in a statement that he thought Sony telling the press he owed them 200 million was incredibly immature.
