Whats this?

That are just the sound effects and beat from Dangerous. At least that´s what it sounds to me.

Michael Jackson's Mini-Me -- Tae Bo Royalty


The kid busting out the insane moves in Michael Jackson's new music video "Hold My Hand" has rhythm in his blood -- because the boy is directly related to Billy Blanks -- the King of Tae Bo.

Billy Blanks Hold My Hand
9-year-old Michael Isaac Blanks is Billy Blanks' nephew -- and the kid has been performing as an MJ wannabe for years.

In fact, just last year Michael's MJ impersonation even caught the eye of "This Is It" director Kenny Ortega -- who called Blanks "a real prodigy" at a dancing event for Nigel Lythgoe's Dizzy Feet Foundation.

Judging from the footage we got at the MJ video shoot this weekend -- Kenny knows what he's talking about.

If you click the link youll be able to see the kid dancing!

If they have plans to release it, they have rights to it. and since it looks like it's going to be on the follow up to Michael, they definitely can

"He never supported me"

In an exclusive interview with Brazil's most famous TV channel "TV Globo", Joe Jackson, father of the late Michael Jackson, complained his son never supported him financially. In the very same interview, the Jackons patriarch paints his son in a not so flattering light while claiming the "whole family" and "most fans" dislike the upcoming album. Along with Leonard Rowe, a long time friend, Joe unveiled AEG's plans and Michael's final days: an apparent die-at-any-moment controlled skeleton which, adds Rowe, heavily relied on drugs while his family attempted, "at any costs", to save him from what would be his fate. More worrying that Joe's eyes while discussing Blanket's, Michael's youngest son, talent was the fact that a drug addict, who could die at any given moment, was allowed to parent.

We should start begging for some more of those New Jersey session tracks... that way they'll only put one on each album and use the other material to pad it out. Reverse pyschology.

Otherwise, we'll get A Place With No Name on one album with a remix of Beautiful Girl and 3 more crappy tracks.

Still really puzzled over this whole bizarre situation with some of these tracks...

When will artists learn to stop being the next "Michael Jackson".

Some recent reviews from Usher's shows... I'm not going to post what the reviews say because my post isn't to bag out usher - who I do think is talented. I just think artists should get over trying to be the next someone - and just be themselves.

Usher: An eye-popping spectacle, but he’s no Michael Jackson.

This is why the industry's so fucked up. They're always trying to peg a younger artist as the "next" so and so. That's what PISSES ME the FUCK off. As much as the artist is partially to blame, I blame the labels and the media themselves for this bullshit, just a few years ago when Michael was still alive and "Confessions" came out, the same media saying "he ain't MJ" was saying he is. rolleyes

Michael Jackson’s “Much Too Soon” Asks What Might’ve Been

Michael-Jackson-Michael-Album-Cover
“Much Too Soon” is the third new(-ish) track from Michael Jackson, and the first to be identified as a product of his remarkably creative Thriller period. (Not that we expect that to change the song lineup for Glee). Jackson “always liked” the bittersweet “Much Too Soon”, according to a post on his official website, “and would pull it back out of the vaults for each subsequent album project but never found the right home for it”. Was Jackson right not to release this one during his lifetime? Listen below.

Michael Jackson - Much Too Soon

Co-written with longtime collaborator John McClain, “Much Too Soon” finds Jackson’s falsetto at its most tender, with a harmonica solo and strings adding a tone of regret. Jackson sings of the hurt of rejection (”And would you like to go with me/ And she answered no to me/ Well guess I learned my lesson much too soon”), but at bottom this one is about the sorrow over what might’ve been. Which is why it’s a perfect song to end the upcoming Jackson collection,Michael.

We can understand why this one didn’t make the cut for Thriller — but it is fascinating to know that, at the time he was recording the majestic dance-pop of his best-known album, he still had an interest in wistful ballads.

Jackson certainly recorded more provocative tear-jerkers than this. But it is high time for the Jackson camp to release forgotten songs like “Much Too Soon”. We just wish it had happened under different circumstances.

FINALLY GOT MY COPY OF MICHAL JACKSON THE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!! dancing jig woot! excited

I bought it from HMV, so I'd get "Another Part of Me". To all who bought it already...did the package say there was a bonus track on there? I asked the staff and they said they didn't know about that promotion, even though HMV is the only store that sells the game with APOM (idiots). I hope I got the extra track...otherwise I might return the game.

What country do you live in? I bought mine at HMV here in the UK as they are the ones with the bonus track. In the US, it's Walmart that has the extra track. I only ask because I know Canada and some other countries have HMV also but in those countries it might be somewhere else that has the extra track.

And yes, the packaging does say. Here's a pic I posted on Tumblr a few days ago of mine:

Beatles ranks 1st in poll, while MJ comes in at a close 2nd.

(Reuters) - The Beatles rank as the No. 1 defunct act Americans would most like to see in concert, according to survey results released on Monday.

The late Michael Jackson ranked second, followed by Frank Sinatra and Mozart, said the poll of Americans' attitudes and interests conducted for Vanity Fair and CBS Television's "60 Minutes."

The Beatles topped those polled with 22 percent, Jackson scored 20 percent, Sinatra got 18 percent and Mozart got 14 percent.

A quarter of the people polled said they think their life is interesting enough to be given a reality show, while three-quarters of respondents did not think so.

Asked who they would like to raise their children if something were to happen to them, 44 percent chose "some nice couple from Iowa" over various actor and celebrity couples.

One-quarter chose Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, 7 percent chose Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, 6 percent chose Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and 3 percent chose Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

Driving slowly in the fast lane was the behavior 33 percent said they find most annoying, followed by cell phone conversations in restaurants and spitting in public.

Also, 71 percent said they express the sentiment of the season by saying "Merry Christmas," while 23 percent say "Happy Holidays" and 4 percent say "Bah! Humbug!," said the poll that can be found on www.60Minutes.com and www.VF.com. It will be in the January issue of Vanity Fair, on newsstands December 2.

Google and Yahoo were cited as the organizations people worry most about having their personal information. While 33 percent listed the online sites, 14 percent said they were more concerned about the U.S. government having information and 13 percent cited banks and credit agencies.

But another 33 percent said they "don't worry much about" who has their personal information.

Asked what U.S. landmark they would most like to see sold to a foreign country, 26 percent said the Hollywood sign, 18 percent said Elvis Presley's Graceland, 14 percent said Washington, D.C. and 12 percent said Disney World.

The poll was conducted by telephone by the CBS News Election and Survey Unit among a random sample of 1,137 adults nationwide from November 7 to November 10. The telephone numbers included both land-line and cellular phones. The margin of error was plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Yes but Usher is also setting himself up as the heir - if you read the reviews of the concert he has a pair of MJ glitter shoes that he asks the audience if he can step into. Setting himself up for the comparison.

APNewsBreak: Jackson wrongful death case refiled

Michael JacksonAP – FILE - In this March 5, 2009 file photo, US singer Michael Jackson is shown at a press conference in …

LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson's father refiled a wrongful deathlawsuit Tuesday against the doctor charged in his son's death and added as a defendant a Las Vegas pharmacy that records show sold the physician a powerful anesthetic blamed for his death.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages against Dr. Conrad Murray, who

has pleaded not guilty in the separate criminal case to involuntary manslaughter in the singer's June 2009 death.

Joe Jackson initially filed his case against Murray in federal court on the first anniversary of his son's death. A judge, however, refused to hear the case and said it should be handled in state court, where it was refiled Tuesday.

"This has been a long process and the facts of Michael's death have been way too slow in emerging," said Joe Jackson's attorney, Brian Oxman. "There is still much to discover and we're going to find it out."

The lawsuit also names Applied Pharmacy Services, which court records show sold Murray the anesthetic propofol during the month before the singer's death. The pharmacy is accused of selling Murray excessive quantities of the anesthetic, which is normally administered in hospital settings.

Authorities have said the sale was legal.

A receptionist at Applied Pharmacy Services declined comment and refused to give her name. Miranda Sevcik, a Murray spokeswoman, said the refiling of the case was expected.

"We'd like to remind people that Dr. Murray has not been found guilty of anything, and we believe his innocence will be proven in a court of law," Charles Peckham, an attorney for Murray, said in June when the case was initially filed.

The Los Angeles County coroner has blamed Jackson's death on propofol intoxication and ruled it a homicide.

Applied Pharmacy's sales of propofol to Murray were revealed in search warrants unsealed in Las Vegas in November 2009. At the time, authorities said a doctor licensed in two states can buy propofol in one and administer it in another.

Murray is licensed in California, Nevada and Texas — all of which have restricted his medical license to some extent since the allegations surfaced in the death of Jackson.

Attorneys for Murray have said he did not give Jackson anything that should have killed him.

Joe Jackson's lawsuit claims Murray was negligent in administering propofol to Jackson, and he did not tell paramedics or an emergency room doctor that he had given the singer the drug.

The case could be consolidated with a lawsuit filed by Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine, against concert promoter AEG Live.

That suit claims AEG and its agents told Michael Jackson the company would provide medical equipment and hire Murray to care for him as he prepared for comeback concerts in London.

AEG has said through an attorney that Katherine Jackson's lawsuit is without merit.
