Jacko Postpones Shows -- Blame Game Begins

Michael JacksonYou can't say you didn't see this coming -- Michael Jackson has already postponed his first four London concerts ... and the finger pointing has already begun.

Jacko's first show has been pushed back 5 days to July 13 and the other 3 were postponed until March of 2010. On the record, concert promoters are saying it's because they need more time to set up the complex stage -- but that's not what we heard.

Sources close to the situation tell us Jacko is pushing back the dates because he's physically unable to get through an entire show.

Guess we'll have to wait until July to find out ... unless he blows off those dates too.

16. It's only 5 days. It's not Michael's fault. TMZ sucks! He took a series of physicals before they went forward for insurance reasons. If he was not physically able they would not have invested money for 10 concerts and definately not 50. You haters are like blood suckers waiting for him to fail. He'll prove you wrong.

18. WHY do you say he "pushed back" the dates? Time moves FORWARD, therefore, he moved UP the dates! He is NOT performing at a earlier date than originally scheduled. Imagine looking at a calendar. You cannot go back in time. Is everybody clear on this? Stop saying something postponed is "pushed back"

19. Anyone that trusts Michael Jackson to honor a contract is a fool. He's a liar and a thief and doesn't feel that legalities apply to him. He'll take partial payments up front and then BS his way into never doing anything for the money then never giving it back. He's a piece of garbage that could not care less about anyone but himself, that includes his family, fans, and all of the young boys whose lives he has permanently scarred. Hopefully his hideous face and skeleton-like body will completely cave in soon and all that will be left to do is toss his sequined glove and surgical mask into the trash and the world will finally be done with him once and for all. SEEYA PEDO!

20. It depends on one's perception of things...one may perceive time or space in a different paradigm. From your perspective it is a forward motion, However from the perspective of the average person it is a delay of an event from it'[s scheduled time and place there fore it is postponed. There is no misappropriation of terminology or conception to the average individual.

25. i am one of the unfortunate folk whose concerts are moved back to march, and although i cant say im 100% confident il ever see a show in march, i feel this chat about mike's health is absolutely ridiculous!

if it were to do with his alleged skin cancer or lack of fitness he would have announced total cancellation by now- anyone who believes hes given himself 5 days off to get 100% fit or to recover from skin cancer clearly has no common sense

bottom line is AEG have made a ballsup and its them our abuse should be angled at- they shouldnt have booked the O2 arena so close to madonna an other concerts, how in the world were they expecting to set up a 22 set concert and have full dress rehearsals in under 2days?!

26. I wish God would take Michael Jackson gently into the palms of His Hands and blow Michael out into the Universe with no return ticket.

27. oh by the way can iask you all, what is your kick out of gloating about several 1000 fans disapointment?
quit with the "i told you so" 's...
is it gona make you into better people?
is it gona make the disapointed fans better or happier or sadder?
if you cant find it in you to have some respect for mj, or any celeb for that matter, then at least have some respect for the fans who are annoyed right now?
im sorry but i wouldnt do it to anyone, guess this bitchyness is why i hate these gossip/celebrity websites :\

28. He still looks terrible! He needs to work on his PR before he starts concertizing. Why not just come clean about the botched plastic surgery? People will understand and sympathize with him.

29. If people really think they are going to see Michael Jackson perform like he did back in the day they need their head examined. Here is a man who is continually going to a medical center, walks around all covered up with a mask on, seen being pushed in a wheelchair numerous times and can't even be in the sun and now he is suppose to be doing 50 concert tours.

If he gets through one show I will be surprised. IMO, If he really gets on stage I guarantee you he won't be up there for long. His opening act and his back up dancers will be carrying most of the show...trust me.
