What great pictures!
"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

I didn't know that Chris is that tall. He seemed smaller next to Bruce Willis, when he played a character resembling somewhat Prince, in "The 5th Element" lol. | |

What has actually bugged me for years is that i clearly remember reading a review about one of the very first few Bad shows in Japan, and where it was mentioned that PYT was performed.

PricelessHo said: "Thriller" sales soar close to Eagles' "Hits"
For nearly a decade, the Eagles' "Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975" has been the recording industry's ultimate evergreen release, certified by the RIAA as the all-time best-selling album in the United States. But thanks to continued robust demand for Michael Jackson's catalog since his June 25 death, "Thriller" appears on the verge of matching "Their Greatest Hits," at least in the eyes of the industry trade group. rest of article: http://ow.ly/15IcQY According to wikipedia, Thriller was only behind Eagles Greatest Hits by about 1 million copies in the United States. Thriller will soon replace Eagles Greatest Hits if it hasnt already. The RIAA has to offer another platinum cert, possibly another diamond cert. It may become the first triple diamond album in US history. We'll see. http://en.wikipedia.org/w...ted_States | |

Be very careful how you treat people: You know where you've been but you don't where you're going. | |

[Edited 7/19/09 16:23pm] Thriller is the best selling album of all time world wide as stated by the Guiness Book of Records. For the past few years, Eagles Greatest Hits has been the best selling album in America by a small margin over Thriller. Looks like Thriller is about to surpass Eagles Greatest Hits if it hasnt already within the past 3 weeks. | |

Why didn't Michael Jackson doctor call for help, asks Tito Jackson
19/07/2009 Dr. Conrad Murray - Michael Jackson's DR. (pic: AP) Grieving Tito Jackson claimed Dr Conrad Murray’s dithering as he tried to resuscitate his stricken brother wasted vital minutes that might have cost him his life. He accused the physician of not acting quickly enough to get help and said his methods of revival were far from the standards expected of a qualified doctor. Tito claimed Dr Murray began flapping when Jacko collapsed at his Los Angeles home. The 55-year-old said: “My opinion is that he panicked when my brother didn’t wake up. “I think the doctor probably figured he was in trouble and he tried to revive Michael. “He did have a pulse but he couldn’t bring him back. “I don’t know what the time lapse was between the doctor finding him and when he called paramedics. “But I believe if he had immediately called for help we might still have my brother here today, he would definitely still be alive.” Tito also accused Dr Murray of not carrying out proper resuscitation methods. It has been claimed the medic did cardiac massage on the dying star as he lay on a soft bed instead of a hard surface – the accepted practice. He added: “The CPR attempt is one of the things I noticed that was very strange. “CPR is one of the first things you learn to do as a doctor, and you don’t do it on a soft bed. And Tito also accused Dr Murray of “disappearing” in the wake of Jacko’s death. He said: “I’m not sure if he went with Michael to the hospital. “What is true is that he has gone into hiding, the first thing he did was contact lawyers.” Dr Murray is said to have made “incriminating” statements during interviews with police. But yesterday the physician claimed he was being made a scapegoat for Jacko’s shock death. He has returned to his home in Houston, Texas, to be with his family and denied going into hiding. He also denied administering any drugs that would have killed the King of Pop. Advertisement - article continues below » Click Here! Dr Murray added: “I have lost a good friend. I did not give Michael anything that should have led to his death. I don’t know anything more than anyone else about what killed Michael, but it wasn’t me. “It’s human nature to try to find a scapegoat but if I was the focus of a criminal probe I would have been told by now.” Dr Murray is under 24-hour guard. He fears he will be targeted by the singer’s fans, who see him as responsible. A friend said: “Dr Murray did all he could to resuscitate Michael. He is in a terrible situation.” Tito hit out at the doctor during an interview on Spanish TV. Asked if he thought Jacko may have been murdered, he replied: “Anything is possible. “It’s a very strong word, the police are investigating what happened. Until there is some kind of revelation, I don’t want to comment. Everything is on the table.” Jackson’s sister La Toya has claimed her brother was murdered. But Tito said: “Everyone has their opinion. “Maybe she knows things I don’t know, but I wouldn’t call it that. I would be furious, knowing there are fiends who would want to do something horrible to somebody who was so marvellous.” Jackson is thought to have been killed by the hospital anaesthetic drug propofol. A senior detective involved in the case said it was “unlikely” any doctor would be charged with murdering Jackson. But he admitted if propofol caused his death, prosecutors have discussed charges including involuntary manslaughter. The officer said: “There’s nothing I have been told that would suggest a murder charge. It’s so remote and so unsupported by the facts as they’ve been gathered. “The doctors are not suspects. They are repositories of medical history. There’s been a high level of co-operation.” The Jackson brothers are said to be in talks with AEG to perform a number of concerts at the 02 Arena in London – on some of the dates booked for Jackson’s comeback gigs. | |

Im not sure what else we can go with other than official certifications by a reputable agency. yeah, I guess so, since comparing pre and post soundscan sales data is almost impossible. I guess that's why these 2 were neck and neck and kept passing each other for a few years there. When the relationship with MJ went sour, they probably stopped bothering. Also, they usually do it around the time a *new* album is released to add to the old figures to help promote the new one. They were probably getting ready to throw a few million on the heap to include the Speacial Edition and Thriller 25 versions. Anyone know the last time Sony had MJ's catalog, specifically Thriller certified? | |
