MICHAEL JACKSON. THE SHOW MUST GO ON The music industry is one of the largest industries in the world and it is by and large a dog eats dog industry that is a two way street. But it takes two to tango and when a really great artist teams up with a really great industry team, there are megabucks to be made.

Granted, many great industry teams turn mediocre artists into one-hit-wonders and everyone makes a bit of moola.
There have also been truly great artists who failed to reach their true potential because they had a mediocre industry team.

But when a great team teams up with a great artist, superstars are born.

A superstar makes a lot of money and becomes internationally famous.
But, there are many others who make lots money from the success of these superstars.
They mostly choose to stay out of the limelight.

Michael Jackson was such a star.

So what happens when the artist dies?

A mad scramble to milk the last bit of moola out of the efforts of the artist after he is gone.
That’s what happens.
The show must go on for as long as possible.
There is still moola to be made.

Four months after his death, Sony Music Entertainment has just released a two disc CD set entitled This Is It.
And of course the movie will be released shortly.

 

The CD set comprises a list of his previous hits, and this one never-before-released-song.
The movie chronicles his rehearsals for the concerts that were supposed to happen at London’s 02 Arena this year.

The 50 shows were all sold out, so a lot of moola was due to be made by all.

Lets hope that this is finally it.
