I know how all of you feel about Roger, and I'm right there with you. That being said, this sounds too good to not share. Oh, if only it is true. Here you go:

Jackson's Surprise Grammy Appearance

Is it true? Well, my sources say that Michael Jackson may actually be performing at the Grammy Awards this Sunday.

A lot could change between now and Sunday night, but the scenario that’s been described for me goes something like this: Justin Timberlake starts the show singing along with a tape of Frank Sinatra. The next act up is Jackson, performing one of his hits from "Thriller," possibly even re-creating the dance number for "Billie Jean" he made famous at the Motown 25th anniversary show in 1983.

Will it happen? Who knows. Jackson, my sources insist, has been rehearsing at a Burbank studio and keeping away from the Staples Center, where the Grammy show takes place.

Of course, if it does happen, Jackson would get a huge boost for the special 25th anniversary edition of "Thriller" that Sony releases on Tuesday. And if it doesn’t work out, well, then … as they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Michael, the ball’s in your court. And believe it or not, we’re rooting for you.

Not another "Billie Jean" lip-sync performance.

How about PYT for a change? It probably gets more airplay now than BJ...especially thanks to Kanye.

Michael Jackson Won't Perform at Grammy Awards
Posted by ExtraTV Staff on February 8, 2008 11:19 AM

Sorry, Jackson fans. The King of Pop won't be making a special appearance at the Grammys.

"Extra" has learned that reports of a special performance Sunday night are false. The show's Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich has put an end to speculation, dismissing rumors that he's taking the stage.


That's the best decision... if he doesn't bother to perform, then he also shouldn't show up!

Who is TMZ's source saying he won't even attend? That is what I wanna know.
Cus if all they say is a source, some bum off the street could be "the source."
However, Roger never reveals his sources either.

Given the scale of the production that goes into putting on the Grammy awards, wouldn't it be highly unorthodox to have the rehearsals for one of its performances to be handled in another venue?

It wouldn't facilitate the kind of cohesion that's needed for a production of that level.

True that...UNLESS he is rehearsing for his own THRILLER 25 TV SPECIAL like the other article spoke of, in which he will perform "Billie Jean" on. Therefore both, Roger and TMZ would be right..sort of.
