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)處的並不是很好 大家都知道 甚至Phillips也知道 Phillips在跟MJ接觸的時候總是很傲慢 他擔心MJ無法及時準備完 而AEG會損失很多錢 Phillips跟很多人說 這些演唱會不論如何ㄧ定要進行 因為他自己說服了AEG的其他人 說這會是一場很棒的交易 而如果有任何意外 他的工作就不保了 很多時候如果MJ沒出現 Phillips會帶著Ortega(秀導)和Payne(編舞頭頭)去MJ家 有時他們會帶著MJ出現 有時則沒有 他們會跟工作人員說 MJ今天感覺不大好 或是MJ在家裡彩排 或是MJ在跟他的歌唱教練練習 剛開始 工作人員都相信了 但是幾個禮拜後大家都知道有些事不對 因為Ortega和Payne會說一切都好 但是他們顯然很挫折和緊張 而且也有很多緊張的對話在Phillips,Ortega和Payne間討論 他們實際在在討論甚麼 他不清楚 因為他們確定隔大家夠遠其他人聽不到 有時他們討論的時候 會有某個人在講手機 然後又傳給另一個人 他覺得他們是在跟MJ講話 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就像在電影裡看到的那樣 不想帶ear monitor 如果你看過MJ以前的演唱會片段 你就會知道他從不戴耳機的 他不喜歡 也不需要 但Ortega對這個非常不滿 有一次在所有人面前 他對MJ說你必須知道你沒有選擇 你只能戴它們 這會是室內的場地 不是開放的 音效會不同 他說當時他的語氣很壞 而大家都嚇呆了 而且當時MJ整個看起來很難過 而且感覺非常的受傷 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講到MJ一直跟她抱怨他不喜歡ear monitors叫她去跟Ortega說 根據Karen的說法 她的確去跟Ortega講了 但Ortega跟她說 這個呀 MJㄧ定要戴 --
