We need a proper expanded version for Thriller30, it'll happen, only 3 years. Starlight, Hot Street ect in CD quality, No interviews or Fergie. Please. I think there will be one like that. 30 years, they can't afford no more remixes, lol. Let it sell as a fan's edition. Obviously the "Thriller 25" one was for promotional value anyway. As much as I might get shot down for saying this - I think not including the songs that were cut or didn't make the cut is a good thing. I mean they were cut for a reason. Whilst I appreciate the journey these songs took, they were not Thriller ready. What I would love to hear more is the demos, how the songs progressed. And to hear how the album would have sounded with those extended jams of the songs - all 50 minutes of it. "I'm not human I'm a dove, I'm ur conscience. I am love" | |

It also gives lively debate if some of the songs could've fit on the album. I remember when the special edition of Bad came out, alot of fans felt Fly Away was better than I Just Can't Stop Loving You "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

And yes Fly Away was a great track (and Rebbie did a beautiful cover of this). But because Thriller is such a classic, I wonder if hearing songs like Carousel or Hot Street in place of Billie Jean and Beat It gives anyone else the shudders. It's like hearing "Starlight, starlight sun". You just sit back and think - phew - I'm glad someone was on the ball. "I'm not human I'm a dove, I'm ur conscience. I am love" | |

It also makes sense when you look at the album cover. The original title and the cover go together "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

"The Essential Michael Jackson" is #6 on itunes album chart and the video for "Thriller" is at #9, after being out of the top 10 for a while .
More: As predicted, Michael Jackson's albums have quickly soared in sales following the two-hour special Michael Jackson themed American Idol on Tuesday. The sales figures are expected to climb even higher during the next 24-48 hours as more details trickle in. On Amazon, a variety of Michael Jackson's albums have already jumped to the top movers and shakers list. Less than five hours after the broadcast, "The Essential Michael Jackson" has increased its sales by 2,377% and went from rank 8,001 to 323 of all music sold on Amazon. "Thriller 25" has seen an increase of 411% (ranked 171), "Number Ones" increased by 384%, and "Off the Wall" by 260%. Each of the previously mentioned albums are already within the top 25 largest increased music sales on Amazon. Since Amazon's figures are calculated based on 24-hour trends, the total impact of sales may not be realized for another day or so. Sales on iTunes are also increasing, with "The Essential Michael Jackson" showcased at the top of the home page, on a special sale in connection to American Idol. Other Jackson albums are climbing the iTunes Pop charts as well. All 13 of the Michael Jackson covers performed on American Idol, in their extended studio versions, can be purchased and downloaded from iTunes by clicking HERE.

If it was hot, why the hell dress in all black, especially on your head and around your neck? (I didn't realize he was back in the States, so I made a booboo in the other post thinking that pic was from London.) | |

I do know he has vitiligo, and when he undergoes skin treatments he wears the mask I'd assume he also has sunblock on as well. this is just crap I remember from being fan ages ago... god now that I remember...

Because if he was dressed all in white people would be accusing him of thinking he was Jesus/God, and if he'd picked beige he would have been painted as having converted to Islam, and so on and so forth. I guess black was just safer.  | |

Ok actually I could understand the covering up if he'd just gotten some kind of treatment. I looked again at the caption on the pic and it said he was leaving the doctor's office in L.A., so you were correct on the location. | |

Well, I was wrong on the location and the pic is supposedly of him leaving his doctor's office, so maybe they were glueing it back on.  [Edited 3/13/09 2:14am] | |

Too many people profiteering from this at the expense of genuine fans. It's a shame. Might be best to catch a tout outside five minutes to showtime, they're pretty desperate to get rid at that stage for whatever price they can get. |

Damn! This is quite possibly the fastest-selling tour ever. | |
