Several artists have been confirmed for the new upcoming Michael Jackson tribute concert set to take place in Cardiff. Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, JLS, Smokey Robinson, Leona Lewis and Craig David to name a few. Alongside those will also be a 3T and Jackson 5 reunion... well... a Jackson 4 reunion I suppose. Come on, is that really a good idea? Four 50+ year olds singing songs that where hits for them 40 years ago. And lets not forget the main man, who was the real star of the Jackson 5, wont be present, so whats the point? Oh yeah, more money!
As much as I was looking forward to the idea of a tribute concert I was looking for names such as Lionel Richie, Janet Jackson, Celine Dion, Usher and Stevie Wonder. People who have all worked with Michael and have stories to share. But JLS, Cee Lo Green and Craig David? Why? Time will tell if any more decent acts are added to the list but so far it looks set to be a wash out purely for the benefit of making yet more money out of Michael's name.
