Those of you who have a remote interest as to why Michael Jackson did not attend the Grammy's the other week, despite all the hype from both the Jackson and the Grammy's camp about his possible attendance, may be interested to know why.
Seemingly, if reports are to believed, Jackson made a few too many demands:
-He wanted a special honouree to introduce him on stage.
-He demanded a special award, something that no one had or would ever receive again.
-He wanted the entire event dedicated to his career, with no less than 30 mentions referring to him as the "King of Pop".
Unsurprisingly, the organisers of the Grammy's said no.
However, both Jackson and the Grammy's did receive a very large amount of free publicity in the run up to the awards, as the media speculated as to whether he would attend or not.
Both Jackson and the Grammy's did very well out of it.

The Grammys
It seems that the latest media gossip suggests that Michael Jackson will appear at the Grammy Awards on Sunday.
However, he won't be singing at the ceremony.
A leaked memo from Jackson's record label, SonyBMG, last week had hinted that Jackson would perform live at the ceremony, which takes place on the eve of the release of the 25th anniversary edition of "Thriller".
I wonder who leaked that?
Needless to say, the "will he, won't he?" speculation in the media provides excellent free publicity for both the Grammys and Jackson.

Don't Believe The Hype
There is much chatter in the media over the issue of whether Michael Jackson will make an appearnce at the Grammy's, on the 10th of February.
Needless to say neither the organisers (CBS) nor Jackson have issued any confirmation or denial.
For why?
Simple, the ongoing speculation gives both the Grammy's and Jackson the oxygen of publicity which they both crave.
A definitive answer, one way or another, would kill off the speculation and the publicity.
