I don't know why. Anyone with any sense would buy a multi-region player from the start. First thing I did 10 years ago with my first player was hack it. Then I bought them pre-hacked after that.

Very dope....


damn, its better than the original band's version.
MJ vocals are just so damn good. People seem to forget how silky smooth his vocals used to be.
I hope the full version leaks, I bet its one awesome version. Much like how MJ totally transformed "Come Together", he does it again on this song.

Thats how to do cover versions people!

I agree and to be honest , I think the Beatles version of “come together” sucked boxed


The band America said that they hope that Mj fans will listen to Mj’s version of “ a horse with no name” soon, they said that Mj showed some brilliance when he covered their song, you can tell that he completely changed the lyrics and gave the song a more melodic kick…but I still dig a original tho, its good.

Jackson moonwalk glove sells for $350K in NYC
AP, Nov 21, 2009 11:41 pm PST
The shimmering, white glove Michael Jackson wore when he premiered his trademark moonwalk dance in 1983 was auctioned off for $350,000 — plus tax — on Saturday.

Winning bidder Hoffman Ma of Hong Kong will pay $420,000, including taxes and fees, for the rhinestone-studded, modified golf glove Jackson wore on his left hand for his moonwalk on Motown's 25th anniversary TV special.

The glove was the top item in a collection of Jackson memorabilia on the block at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square. Its pre-auction estimate was $40,000 to $60,000.

"It was a fairly good discount," said Ma, a 36-year-old Jackson fan who bought the pop-music treasure on behalf of the Ponte 16 Resort Hotel in Macau.

As the price of the glove soared, fans roared and squealed — echoing the kind of frenzy that accompanied the late pop star when he toured the world.

"That's what death brings upon celebrity," said Brendan Doyle, a college student munching chicken fingers from a plate in his lap. "Jackson's death was such a tragedy at such a young age that it pushed up prices."

The pop icon, who died June 25 at 50, had given the glove to Walter "Clyde" Orange, of the singing group the Commodores.

A jacket that Jackson wore on his 1989 "Bad" tour fetched $225,000 — 20 times its low estimate of $8,000.

The sale, held by Los Angeles-based Julien's Auctions, also included a fedora Jackson wore for the moonwalk. It sold for $22,000, against a $2,000 high estimate.

New Yorker Linda Derogene said she was willing to spend up to $5,000 for a material link to the performer she's idolized all her life, but never got a chance to see in concert.

"I can't even tell you what it would mean for me. It would be like a dream come true," she said as she waited to bid on something she could afford.

There was no doubt that Jackson dominated the auction dubbed "Music Icons" — of more than 300 items belonging to stars from Elvis Presley and the Beatles to Mariah Carey. The musicians' clothing and instruments filled the small Rock Cafe stage, with two giant photos of Jackson on either side and a huge picture of his famed glove at the center.

Buyers paid the gavel price, plus a 20 percent auction house premium for items over $50,000, and 25 percent for those costing less.

"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."

lmaoooo!

did i just watch the new trailer to The 2nd Coming Of Jesus!? Scored by Hans Zimmer!?

That was extremely OTT....in which case, it's fitting.

I find this stuff he did (images of himself and idiots fainting to choir music playing over them) absolutely hilarious...and disgraceful.

On the subject of the book, gotta be a must for all fans! Expensive though....but not 2 and a half grand expensive like this other ridiculous Opus

I too would like this.
It sounds like he turned it into a great pop track. The hook sounds repetitive though, i hope there's more to it then just repeating "Take me to a place without no name".

Better than the original? After just 30 seconds? Never.

A listing on the PEGI website has revealed that the movie tie-in classic Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker will be coming to the Wii Virtual Console.

As well as being one of the first decent movie turned video games Moonwalker featured one of the best soundtracks to any games ever thanks to Jacko’s back catalogue of tunes.

And it could be coming to Virtual Console service soon. The PEGI website doesn’t reveal a date, just a 12 rating. But with Michael Jackson film ‘This Is It” now in cinemas it could arrive anytime soon.

We’re guessing this isn’t the new Michael Jackson game that was earlier teased.

Via [PEGI, thanks VideoGamer]

The Beatles version is nice, but it's a bit of a bore when you compare is to Michaels revamped version. Mike made the song raw!

oh wow! it's kind of hard to sing some of MJ's songs. I hope they give a good selection. speaking of PYT, i feel like it should have been a video. "Say Say Say" video could have passed for PYT
