Michael did not get along at all with Randy Phillips. Everyone knew it, even Phillips knew it. Phillips had a very arrogant way of dealing with Michael, he was terrified that Michael would not get ready for the shows and AEG would lose a lot of money. According to this person, Phillips made it clear to several people that these concerts had to ... happen, no matter what, because he "had to personally convince everyone at AEG that this was a good deal" therefore his job was at risk if anything went wrong. On many occasions Phillips would go to Michael's house with Ortega and Travis Payne whenever Michael would not show up. At times they would come back with him, at times no. The official explanations to the crew was "Michael is not feeling well today," "Michael reharsed at home" or "Michael is reharsing with his vocal coach." At first the crew believed it, but after a few weeks everyone started realizing something was up because even though Ortega and Payne would say everything was fine, it was obvious that they were very frustrated and nervous, and there were several heated discussions between Ortega, Phillips and Payne, but what exactly was being discussed was not clear since they always ade sure they would be far enough for anyone to hear. During these conversations one of them would always be on a cellphone, and then the would pass it aroud to themselves. This person believes they were talking to Michael. MJ和Randy Phillips(AEG的CEO)处的并不是很好 大家都知道 甚至Phillips也知道 Phillips在跟MJ接触的时候总是很傲慢 他担心MJ无法及时准备完 而AEG会损失很多钱 Phillips跟很多人说 这些演唱会不论如何ㄧ定要进行 因为他自己说服了AEG的其他人 说这会是一场很棒的交易 而如果有任何意外 他的工作就不保了 很多时候如果MJ没出现 Phillips会带着Ortega(秀导)和Payne(编舞头头)去MJ家 有时他们会带着MJ出现 有时则没有 他们会跟工作人员说 MJ今天感觉不大好 或是MJ在家里彩排 或是MJ在跟他的歌唱教练练习 刚开始 工作人员都相信了 但是几个礼拜後大家都知道有些事不对 因为Ortega和Payne会说一切都好 但是他们显然很挫折和紧张 而且也有很多紧张的对话在Phillips,Ortega和Payne间讨论 他们实际在在讨论甚麽 他不清楚 因为他们确定隔大家够远其他人听不到 有时他们讨论的时候 会有某个人在讲手机 然後又传给另一个人 他觉得他们是在跟MJ讲话 Michael, and this is shown in the movie, did not want to wear the ear monitors. As this person told me, "look at any footage from Michael in concerts in the past, and you will never find him wearing ear monitors, he did not like them, did not need them." According to him, Ortega got upset at one time at Michael, and in front of everyone told him "... you have to undrstand that here you do not have an option, you have to wear them, this is going to be a closed arena, not an open stadium, and the sound is different." He said his tone was very nasty and everyone was shocked, especially since Michael looked very upset, but mostly hurt, by it. MJ就像在电影里看到的那样 不想带ear monitor 如果你看过MJ以前的演唱会片段 你就会知道他从不戴耳机的 他不喜欢 也不需要 但Ortega对这个非常不满 有一次在所有人面前 他对MJ说你必须知道你没有选择 你只能戴它们 这会是室内的场地 不是开放的 音效会不同 他说当时他的语气很坏 而大家都吓呆了 而且当时MJ整个看起来很难过 而且感觉非常的受伤 Interestingly, yesterday Karen Faye wrote on her facebook that Michael always complained to her that he did not like ear monitors, and asked her to tell Ortega. According to her, she did and Ortega told her "well, he has to wear them!" 而有趣的是Karen Faye讲到MJ一直跟她抱怨他不喜欢ear monitors叫她去跟Ortega说 根据Karen的说法 她的确去跟Ortega讲了 但Ortega跟她说 这个呀 MJㄧ定要戴 --
