the positive:

hes happy, better state of mind.

the negative:

awful conference, no new news, few words. he's still as cheesy as ever, looked as if he was trying to get down with the kids by trying to act cool. what was with that alan partridge/cliff richard walk form the coach? his exit was cringe worthy, expecting history tour 2 with all those fist pounds. i didn't think it was about money until now. no new songs mentioned.

You didn't think it was about money? He owes so much money to lawyers, accountants & others, why do you think he's auctioning off all that crap?

Brand new weave

Here's something that resonates for me: There are people from all parts of the world who are planning to go. I'm talking about people from Iran, South Africa, Malaysia, Indonesia....you name it. They are going to be there.....

I'm listening to BBC 1xtra and they're saying that it was sooooo crazy that the roof of the o2 could've been blown off

the positive:

hes happy, better state of mind and of course, hes doing something new

the negative:

awful conference, no new news, few words. he's still as cheesy as ever, looked as if he was trying to get down with the kids by trying to act cool. what was with that alan partridge/cliff richard walk form the coach? his exit was cringe worthy, expecting history tour 2 with all those fist pounds. i didn't think it was about money until now. no new songs mentioned and he looked very thin.

here try this ! ...

H still looks unhealthy, his breathing, his walking...

Thanks a lot. I don´t like the look.


I have to agree with all of this.

Hopefully I´ll get to see one of the shows. I am afraid the tickets will be sold out soon and I won´t be able to order them on Friday.

dag said:

i'm still contemplating on whether to go, just to tribute to my childhood when i was a huge fan. It depends on tiket prices and that was one thing i wanted to know from this "conference".

What looks the most unhealthy to me is his weight. He really needs to gain some weight.

And Mike please throw those awful sunglasses away once for all. And the hair...

CNN says tickets will be £50-75 ($70-105).

Wow, those prices aren't bad at all.

It's the air fare that's killer.

I like the sunglasses, he needs a better weave, he looks like a manicured dog with that hair. I don't want to see him in the show with that do.

The Ultimate Michael Jackson Setlist - What Would Yours Be?
For his summer shows...

Unless he has a dramatic change of heart – or, recent reports have been widely inaccurate – Michael Jackson will announce a series of concerts at the O2 Arena in London tomorrow (March 5th).

The shows, which look set to emulate Prince's 2007 residency at the same venue (not to mention bag the King of Pop a nice pay day), will, undoubtedly, be some of the most anticipated of all time. Apart from two rather contrived live performances, Jackson has not performed a full live concert tour since his 1996/7 HIStory tour.

To put that jaunt into perspective, HIStory saw Jackson play in 82 countries to approximately 4.5million fans. And at a time when ticket prices were lower, the tour still grossed Jackson an impressive $163.5million – a figure which, if reports are to be believed, will only be surpassed by his summer O2 residency.

Suffice to say, the Gigwise office is rather excited about this. Putting aside the singer's legal troubles and various physical transformations, Jackson is still the artist who gave us the biggest – and, in my opinion, one of the greatest – albums of all time in 'Thriller; he's still the greatest male solo performer of all time – some who made the live show an unforgettable experience, rather than a chore; and, at the end of the day, he's still Michael Jackson.

So the big question remains, what will the Michael Jackson of 2009 perform?

We want you to post what songs you would like to see Michael Jackson play at the O2 Arena. Indeed, what would your ultimate Michael Jackson setlist be? Put your suggestion below.

BBC website:


The concert promoter AEG told the BBC that Jackson may take the show on a final tour around the world.

AEG's global head Randy Phillips told the BBC that Jackson had signed a three-year deal - worth $400m - that included concerts and the development of the 3-D movie based on Thriller.

He said the pop star had undergone an "extensive medical" approved by insurers.

So that´s why he has been visiting the doctors all the time recently.

I don´t want any 3-S movie based on Thriller. Mike, we want a new album... Even if the album contained only unreleased old tracks. I wouldn´t care.
