GREAT EXPECTATIONS
An Exclusive Report for MJJ Forum by Robin Meltzer, London, UK
With the exception of the BRIT Awards, which have tried in recent years to shed their image of chaos and disorder, the UK does not play host to many music industry awards ceremonies. So when it was announced that the World Music Awards (WMAs) – unique among award ceremonies for its focus on sales alone – were coming to London, interest was aroused.
Interest went through the roof when it was revealed that the star guest would be Michael Jackson, who would be presented with the Diamond Award - a World Music Award presented infrequently to artists who have sold over 100 million albums in their career.
Michael Jackson could actually have been presented with seven diamond awards because it was revealed in the run-up to the ceremony by Raymone Bain, Michael’s manager/press office, that the WMAs would recognise an astonishing 750 million records sold since he was eleven.
The day before the ceremony, it was announced by the Guinness Book of World Records that the album ‘Thriller’ alone had sold 104 million copies since its release at the end of 1982.
Those statistics would have been enough to almost guarantee some positive news for Michael following his rare public appearance to the UK to attend the awards. That should have been the story: factual, precise, undeniable.
However, in the two weeks prior to the event, staff at the World Music Awards used Michael’s attendance shamelessly to create a sense of expectation that spiralled completely out of control. Earls Court is a large venue – one of Britain’s very biggest – and it was not quite full. It would have been even less full had the WMA website not placed Michael’s name and image at the top of their list of performers. Of course fans would have attended and been extremely grateful to have seen the man in person, but it would not have been the kind of event that it eventually became.
In addition, a confusingly worded press release issued by the WMA promised that Michael Jackson would “appear on stage as part of a spectacular tribute to ‘Thriller’ produced by Quincy Jones”.
What exactly did that mean? He would take to the stage and perform the song “Thriller”? Alone? With others? One song out of many from the ‘Thriller’ album? Or just that song? Who was in the tribute? What was Quincy Jones’ involvement? Would he produce the spectacular, or was that just a reference to the fact that he produced the album?
Staff at the ceremony, and informal contacts of Michael’s, also confirmed to fans and fan clubs that Michael would be performing but there were mixed rumours as to what he would perform.
Fans went crazy, waiting in line outside Earls Court box office when they were mistakenly told by organisers that no standing tickets would be available on line or on the phone. In the event, the tickets were issued through the normal channels so the waiting was unnecessary. But fans shrugged it off – “so what if some of us had to queue in the cold for tickets,” they probably said. “This is a Michael Jackson performance!”
None of this is particularly surprising on its own. Events of this size are frequently beset by ticketing chaos – with misinformation occurring as a result of the number of people involved in making money from the public. Promoters, tickets agencies and of course the WMAs themselves – all these were getting a slice of the action and this was not the first time that such establishments had demonstrated their communication problems.
No, the astonishing thing – especially now in hindsight of course but actually some of us were already saying this in the lead up to the show – was how no-one in Michael’s camp, nor from the WMAs, sought to dampen some of the press expectation that was only ever going to lead to disappointment.
