The Black Jackson Estate The Black Jackson Estate

Beyonce, Usher, Chris Brown, Ciara: when it comes to recognizing artists whose art and sound prominently reflects the influence of Michael Jackson, it's easy to identify those (and similar) incredible pop/R&B superstars. But you don't often hear names like Kirk Franklin, Kierra Sheard, Tonex, or Deitrick Haddon -- gospel artists who have masterfully woven the influence and sound of Michael Jackson into their art and Black spirituality. Join the Users as we discuss Michael Jackson's early roots in the Black American gospel music tradition and how the sound of Black gospel and spiritual music shaped MJs sound and art -- and how it helped influenced a generation of transformative and consequential Black gospel artists.

The Gospel According to Michael is *most especially* a showing of love to the handclapping, foot stompin' members of the #MJFAM! For others, it's a look into a rich tradition that served as a foundational template for the art and career of Michael Jackson. Happy #BHM2024.

In the early 80s, Michael Jackson was the biggest superstar and entertainer in the world. He was also known to be a serious animal lover, and had amassed a menagerie of pets that lived with him at his home in Havenhurst. MJs most famous pet, and arguably the most famous celebrity pet in modern times, Bubbles the Chimp, came to be a source of love and support for Michael Jackson, as well as a celebrity and superstar in his own right.

The Thriller 40 Documentary has been one of the most highly anticipated projects to be released by the Michael Jackson Estate in recent memory. We take a deep dive into the documentary and share our thoughts on everything from the 4K footage of the Victory tour and short films, to details of the inner thoughts and ambitions of Michael Jackson, the exclusion of members of the Jackson family from the documentary, and the controversy surrounding the choice of Nelson George as the documentary's director.

In 1988, Michael Jackson received the gold "moon man" also known as the Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards. Three years later, MTV would rename that award the "Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award" in honor of his "groundbreaking work as a video artist." Join the Users and special co-host MJFanGirl on this 8th day of Christmas as we unpack the highlights and recipients of the famous gold moon man.
