Why is it that everyone has to have a million people "guesting" on their cd now a days? Whatever happened to just having a band and making your own shit? M.J.'s trying to get all these people, it's the most idiotic thing. It's like everything nowadays is "so and so (feat. G.notalent and his granma)." Gimme a freakin' break! Can't MJ sing? What da hell does he need Akon for? That guy is just the no-talent flavor of the month. You don't see Prince reaching out to Akon (lmao)...Just needed to vent a little, the state of most music today just sickens me.


When are people going to stop believing every RUMOR that someone in the media puts out? Didn't some of you believe the "50 ft. robot"story? Let's just wait and see what Michael comes up with before we start all of the bitching and whining. IMO,whatever he comes out with is going to be MILES ahead of anything that is out right now or has been out in the last year. The music scene is boring. Michael always brings excitement and life to the music industry with anything that he does. I am ready for his album, whenever he decides to release it.

Well, I hope this is indeed a rumor.

The robot story always sounded crazy but then there was that whole 35-foot statue in the mid 90s...

...but the 35 ft. statue in the mid 90's had a purpose. It was on the cover of MJ's HIStory album and it was to promote his album release and world tour. People say that it was about his "ego". I wonder why those same people couldn't figure out it was just a PR move to advertise the same "statue" on his album cover? What purpose would a 50ft. robot have?

The same purpose it had in '88: save the children, protect the planet and establish world peace by blowing Joe Pesci the f*ck up.

Mj just CANNOT do it on his own huh?.....


I think he can, but he wants a hit album. So he needs hot producers.

I don't like Akon, but I have to admit he didn't annoy me on India.Arie's song like I thought he would.

word.



i'm with you guys! i can't understand why someone as talented as mj doesn't have enough belief in his own capabilities as an artist. i think he realizes that after all the trouble he's been in, he needs someone "current" to help him get back out that and make him fel relevant again. Acorn (yes, i said Acorn), imo has no talent. why him of all people? why not quincy jones again? now that could be hot!



why not cause Q didnt do a thing since 94. and he hassent been all that supportive during the trial. and why not what are his controbutions to off the wall thriller and bad. he did PYT and thats it . o yeah he put together some great producer(s) in the form of rod themperton , paul mc cartney , stevie wonder and probaly others
and if you would draw Q in his role wouldnt change he would draw in producers and helps with the track selection wich he didnt do right all the time

MJ doesn't want to work with Akon, and he has contacted him at all. Akon just wants to work with MJ and has been name-dropping to the point where RS thinks that he must be somehow involved in the new album. He's not. Akon has nothing to do with Michael Jackson's new album. He's not involved at all.

It was still a silly way of promoting it cause it just helped MJ look stupid in the eyes of the general public.

Let´s wait and see what comes out of all these news. I am happy though that there are some news like thing because it gives us hope that something is really happening.

I've never even heard an Akon song! The only time I ever heard him was on Gwen Stefani's cuurent single "The Sweet Escape".As you can see,I rarely listen to the radio.If it wasn't for this site (this forum),I wouldn't even know about most of the current artists.
