I wonder if this is the mystery track that Mike released here in Germany a few months ago: there were these gigantic billboards and subway ads at all the subway stations advertising his new "untitled" single available in stores here. Being that neither I or any of my friends have paid attention to Michael for years, it simply didn't pique my interest enough to buy it, or even have a look at it in the record stores for that matter...I think the last thing he did that appealed to me was the Floetry composition "Butterflies"...the rest of his music just seems formulated to give him the excuse to stand onstage with his shirt open and his wig flying against a damned wind machine confused

let's hope the wig is on tightly, or not, I would like to see what's doing under that wig. Buckwheat Jackson.

Again, I'm not sure, because I didn't purchase it, or even check it out in the record store...but just a few months back, there were these cryptic looking ads all over Hamburg announcing a new single available in the record stores here. They stayed up for about a month and then -zzzzzft! They were gone. I started a thread on it when it happened because I was curious as to whether it was a worldwide release or some marketing/experimental thing he was doing....

Exactly, I'm not thrilled Michael is working with 50 (of all people he could work with. If only him and Prince could make a combo album.) At any rate, I'm still pumped it means new Michael music. It hasn't been this exciting since 2001's Invincible. biggrin

Am I the only one excited about the 5 unreleased MJ tracks? The 50cent collaboration will probably suck though.

Nein, meine Kürbischen---it was an ad in all black, with a white illustration of his feet on tip toe, with no mention of any title whatsoever...like I said before----"CRYPTIC"---! it was placed at subway stops throughout Hamburg all the way to suburban stations like Pinneberg....

According to MTV, billboard article was a hoax
DJ Whoo Kid wants to bring Michael Jackson and 50 Cent together, there's no doubt about that — it's just not happening as soon as reports might lead you to believe. Thanks to an announcement seemingly released by MJ's new record label, which stated the singer's dream team was a done deal, several media outlets ran with the news, not realizing the press release was a prank.

There had been enough news in recent weeks to suggest that the press release was the real thing. Whoo Kid revealed earlier this month that Jackson had chatted him up about a possible collaboration with 50 (see "DJ Whoo Kid Spends An Evening In Bahrain 'Chillin' ' With Michael Jackson"). Whoo Kid had just come back from Bahrain, where he said he had arranged a phone conversation between the two artists.

The phony press release, sent Sunday as an e-mail claiming to be from Two Seas Records, claimed this was now happening. "I do not know who put this story out, certainly not us," Two Seas spokesperson Sue Harris said. "But it doesn't surprise me!"

Media outlets such as Billboard and Rolling Stone picked up the hoax on Monday, reporting details that Jackson and 50 were joining forces on a song called "Now That I Found Love," featuring up-and-coming singer Lucy Diamonds, and that it would be out November 21.

"I don't know who made that up," Whoo Kid said, regarding those reports. "I don't know who Lucy Diamonds is."

"How are they saying it is a 50/ MJ/ Lucy song?" Diamond's spokesperson Jonathan Hay said. "This whole thing is freaking strange."

Reports stated that the song would also be on a Whoo Kid mixtape called MJ Unit - The Takeover, which would supposedly feature five unreleased Jackson songs and mash-ups of his prior hits with songs from members of the G-Unit camp, including Lloyd Banks, Mase, Young Buck, Mobb Deep and M.O.P. This was most likely "borrowed" from the fact that Whoo Kid is planning to work with Banks, Mase and Mobb Deep. But "Now That I Found Love" gives shout-outs to 50's rival, the Game, as well as DJ Skee, Nu Jerzey Devil and Black Wall Street.

"This isn't good because Lucy is talking to Game, she's been talking to Game for a while," Hay said. "So she won't be on that [MJ Unit] mixtape, not unless they stole her song."

As for Jackson, his camp refuses to give any information about the singer's upcoming projects, even to correct fake reports or press releases.

"As far as we are concerned, details regarding the recording of Michael Jackson's albums are being kept under wraps," Harris said. "We will not be making any comments as to who may or may not be working with Michael Jackson in the studio. We will not be making any announcements, nor will we be reacting to any speculation or reports in the media."

A spokesperson for 50 Cent did not elaborate on the prank.
