Michael Jackson concert
Having watched Michael Jackson's charity concert on July 4 on TPI, I was very disappointed for several reasons:
1. The editing was very bad. It seemed that it was not planned. They cut the picture when violinist Vanessa Mae was performing. And suddenly put her on again in the middle of her performance.
2. The quiz was not very interesting; there was no promotion that there would be a quiz for prizes.
3. The artists who performed were not selected. It was just a one-and-a half-hour program. TPI should have selected the pars with the artists. It would have been better if some artists (who are not very famous in Indonesia) did not appear for more than one song and more footage given to others who are expected to perform more than two songs (Michael Jackson appeared for two songs only?). Besides, I did not see Rod Stewart, or Slash (Guns 'n Roses' guitarist) as was previewed in several newspapers.
The overall program was very poorly presented.
