TV One Gears Up For Michael Jackson Week

Starting Sunday at 8 p.m. ET, TV One presents Forever Michael Week, a seven-day tribute to the King of Pop. The week kicks off with a new documentary titled, The Michael Jackson Story, where his life is chronicled from his days as a child in Indiana through his last days, via footage and interviews with his mother, Katherine Jackson, Gladys Knight, Rev. Al Sharpton and more.
The week will also include The Jacksons: An American Dream miniseries, and Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration, the concert that commemorates his 30 years as a solo performer.
The special programming was originally scheduled to celebrate the kickoff of Michael Jackson’s highly anticipated London concerts.
I’m wonder if the documentary will unearth information MJ fans don’t already know. His story has been told so many times that I’m hoping there will be a refreshing new twist. As for the rest of the week, I don’t think I’ll be watching the American Dream movie for the umpteenth time this month (thanks Vh1), but I could go for the 30th Anniversary Celebration, with performances by Usher, Destiny’s Child, Mya, ‘N Sync, etc.
Are you tired of King of Pop tributes, or is it the more the merrier?
