Do you guys think that Michael Jackson named his son "Prince" after the Artist? Or the prince of Bahrrain (spelling)? I really have no clue.

No, Prince and Blanket were named after Michael's maternal grandfather (named Prince Albert Screws). Mike's great-grandfather, and great-great grandfather on his mother's side were named "Prince" as well, so it was a generational name that skipped two generations until now. It has nothing to do with Prince the artist.

I wish more people knew this. A lot of people speculate it was an ego tripping thing that the "King" would have Princes for children - happy co-incidence yes but not the true intention.

As stated above it was a name common in his family on his mother's side. In fact in recordings with the ghost writer of moonwalker, he commented that Michael would talk a lot about his grandfather and the writer thought these would be perfect stories for the book, but Michael insisted they not be included as they were personal.

Where did you get all this info about the ghost writer.

I don't get how anyone can buy into the "family tried to help him" talk when there's been so much shadiness from the family themselves. Didn't Randy fuck up MJ's finances when he took over MJ's affiars while MJ was on trial? Or wasn't Randy the one trying to get MJ to sell the catalogue? And we saw how Joe acted once This Is It came together. There's too much fuckedness from the family to take them too seriously on what happened with MJ. It's like of course they're going to make themselves look good.
And the problem is that it wasn't just Joe. It was Leonard Rowe, Latoya, the brothers and Brian Oxman. But the Jackson family fans will ignore it. Just like they ignore an autopsy report, they'll ignore the smashing evidence concerning this family's horrible values. And- as always- they'll scream "hater" at me!
MOL, are you a close friend of the Jacksons? Because you seem to act like you know every aspect of their lives, when you really don't. And you with your irrational hatre of Joe isn't any better. I really do question your mental stability sometimes. hmmm

Yea, NastradumasKid.. MOL is obsessed..

Lady Gaga Discusses Michael Jackson, Lupus With Larry King Lady Gaga's recent revelation that she had been tested for lupus had some fans worried that the pop star is ill. But when the singer sat down with Larry King for an interview airing Tuesday (June 1), she admitted that although she has tested positive for the disease, she hasn't experienced symptoms so far. "Lupus is in my family and it's genetic, and it's funny 'cause my mother told me the other day that my fans were quite worried about me because I did talk about the fact that I was tested for lupus," she tells King in an excerpt of the interview available online." And the truth is I don't show any signs, any symptoms of lupus, but I have tested borderline positive for the disease. So as of right now, I don't have it. But I do have to take good care of myself," the singer told King. During the chat, Gaga also addressed rumors that she was scheduled to collaborate with Michael Jackson before his sudden death last June. "You know, it's always very difficult because I don't necessarily like to talk about those very personal things that happened," she said. "I guess I can speak about it now. I was actually asked to open for Michael on his tour. We were going to open for him at the O2. "And we were working on making it happen. And I suppose there was some talk about the openers doing some duets with Michael onstage. But Michael's death was devastating for me regardless of whether I was supposed to go on tour with him," she continued. "He's such an inspiration and remarkable human being. I guess ... some of my fascination with death and the demise of the celebrity goes along with me watching these hugely iconic and amazing people that I have heralded and admired become destroyed, whether self-destroyed or destroyed by the media." In addition to the sit-down, Gaga will also preview a tease for her "Alejandro" video, a contender for summer jam of 2010. She tweeted, "Tonight, on Larry King 6pm pt/9pm et, I will be interviewed by the King, + preview my newest collaboration with Steven Klein: ALEJANDRO." This report is from MTV News. http://www.vh1.com/artist...ewscrawler

I wish this would have been on the Thriller 25 like planned Don't Be Messin' Around, well, this version anyway is from 1990. Still, I need to hear the whole thing NOW lol HOW do you know these things?! mad LOL, I highly doubt that this version is from the 90's , it sounds its like from the thriller sessions , the 80's.
Bruce Swedien revealed the singer had completed a powerful track entitled Don't Be Messin' Around. Featuring what was described as a mesmerising solo performance, it is expected to be available to millions of fans once the terms of Jackson's estate are settled. Mr Swedien said of the ballad: "Michael plays piano on it, and it's just beautiful." He added: "Oh my God, there's nothing like it."
That came out around the time they were in the stages of releasing Thriller 25.

[Edited 5/30/10 12:35pm]

So its from the 80's. lol

I would take it as being from the Thriller session, but MJ always reworked old songs during recordings of his later albums. confused

lol confused I agree. lol

The song has been re-recorded in 2008 with producer Buxer.

Nah, I don't think so. DBMA wasn't re-recorded in 2008. It's not listed with the other songs he did with Buxer.

Songs MJ recorded with Producer Bradley Buxer Prior to His death.

These songs are NOT from 2008/2009!!! It's just that most people (especially so-called "journalists" weren't aware of these titles).

All these songs are from different dates, e.g. "Wonderful World Of Candy" was recorded in 2003, "Thank Heaven" is from 1998 or "Neverland Landing" is even from 1988 (BAD era).

So please careful with blogs, "journalists" and fan forums. Most people have no clue about what they are actually talking about. I've seen many people thinking that these would be new songs MJ did prior to his tragic passing, but that's complete bullshit.

wink

I know all that......and I know the dates when some of these songs were recorded.

But there is a possibility that MJ had re-recorded and re-worked on them , It happens.

Michael also mentioned in several interviews, like TV Guide, that he named his son after his grandfather because he had passed away two months before Prince was born. I'm sure he got asked that question a lot.. but like many things in Michael's life, coincidences are interpreted as looney behavior. I heard of people making a joke that the King of Pop named his son a Prince, but never recalled any references to Prince the Artist.

Heh...Peter King...I remember that muthaf*cka...and that MP from Bahrain is just sore cuz Michael didn't promote any songs he wrote. I heard somewhere that he and Michael had some deal where Michael was supposed to promote an album or something of his. Or was that one of the Princes? Meh shrug Either way, they should have him removed from office. Someone who spread slanderous s**t like that ain't worthy to represent his constituents. mad

Darren Hayes(Savage Garden) on how MJ Recorded 'Fall Again'

For Michael Jackson fans - This is an untold story of my almost encounter with the King and how M.J inspired me. Fans of my music will be familiar with my song 'Insatiable'. It was co-written and produced with Walter Afanasieff. What many people don't know is that I wrote my song as a reaction to and after having been inspired by a song that Walter and Alan Thicke wrote for Michael back in '99 called 'Fall Again'. Here is Michael's demo version http://www.youtube.com/wa...z7u8ZJsxiI The story goes like this. When I was recording the Savage Garden album 'Affirmation' with Walter in 1999 at his studio in San Francisco, he played me a demo of the song 'Fall Again' which at that time had Robin Thicke's vocals on it. Walter and Robin had intended to submit the song to M.J for his 'Invincible' album project. I was completely in awe and all I could hear was Michael. At the time, Walter told me he wasn't sure if Michael would be interested but as a fan I had a feeling that when M.J heard it he'd respond like I had. It reminded me of the lushness of classic Michael songs like 'Human Nature'. I knew M.J would kill it. Sure enough, the song got to Michael and he loved it and agreed to cut a demo of it. Slight hitch? The only time M.J had available was when Walter was booked in with me to finish the vocals for the Savage Garden album 'Affirmation'. Walter decided he could record both sessions and so we flew to New York and I recorded in the mornings with Walter at Sony Studios and he then left in the afternoon to record Michael Jackson at The Hit Factory in the afternoon literally across the street. The version in this post is the one and only time Michael ever sang the song. One take. He hadn't even had a chance to learn the song properly (and what an amazing job he did!). The day he recorded Michael Walter came back to my session at Sony Studios about 2 hours later beaming. He spoke in glowing terms about Michael, about his voice, about his politeness and talent. And what touched me the most was he told me that Michael's children (Prince and Paris) were at the session and M.J had set up a t.v monitor in his recording booth so he could see the children playing with the Nanny in another room while he was singing. The session was cut short because the children were poorly and Michael wanted to be a good Dad and tend to them. He apparently apologised and left the session after only one take. I never heard Michael's version until it was released many years later (even though Walter knew I was a massive fan he respected M.J's privacy and never played it to me). But I had remembered the feeling and the magic of the song from the first time I heard Robin Thicke's vocal and so when it came time for me to record my first solo album, I asked Walter to try and write a song with the same energy with me. That's how we wrote 'Insatiable'. It's amazing to hear Michael's demo version of 'Fall Again' so many years later and be in awe of his artistry. Michael is the reason I became a performer (having seen his 'Bad' tour in 1987 and knowing in an instant that performing was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life). Listening to his records taught me how to sing. I'm proud that years later in my own career there are pieces of him in my work. And although he is not with us anymore, I like to think that little spark he ignited in me as an artist is part of his legacy. Sorry if this was long and sappy - but I know there are M.J fans out there who would appreciate this story. I'd always wanted to tell it. And today I did. As a funny epilogue to this story - here's the bit where I almost met Michael. At the time of the recording, Tommy Motolla was president of Sony Music. He came in to the studio the same day Walter was recording M.J and he said to me 'Darren, there's someone very special that I'd like to bring in to the studio to introduce you to. Is it o.k if I bring another artist in here to say hello?" he said. Of course I thought he meant Michael. Of course he meant Michael right? Michael was across the street working with the same producer I was with! Bring it on! Tommy left the room and said he'd be right back. So I sat there in the studio with the engineer, absolutely about to pee my pants. Tommy knocks on the door. My heart stops. And then it sinks. In walks Tommy with a very tall later 40's white male with blond hair. Ie NOT MICHAEL JACKSON. 'Darren this is Darryl' Tommy says. "Hi' I say with mock enthusiasm. Tommy proceeds to play this man 'Two Beds and a Coffee' machine, the song that we'd been working on that day. Darryl sits back in his chair and with the most sincere tone tells me that I'm an incredible song writer and that he loves my voice. 'Thanks!' I say, still devastated this man is not Michael Jackson. When Tommy and Darryl leave, the engineer turns to me and says 'Do you know who that was?'. 'Nope' I say. 'That was Darryl Hall, of Hall and Oates'. Now let the record show, I was and remain a MASSIVE fan of Hall and Oates. And I felt incredibly rude for being oblivious to this fact. In my defence Darryl had a beard at the time and my memory of him was clean shaven and much younger of course. So I died a little twice that day. But there you have it. x

I think it could've been a better release if they had re-released it months after it's release

I'm thinking about the unreleased songs we've heard so far (full or snippets)

Fall Again

Beautiful Girl

A Place With No Name

Escape

Blue Gangster

Another Day

Can't Get You Off Of My Mind

I think it could've been a better release if they had re-released it months after it's release

-trim off the fat (Heartbreaker, 2000 Watts, Cry, The Lost Children, and Threatened)

Unbreakable (strip it down a bit, take out Biggie's rap section)
Break Of Dawn

Heaven Can Wait
You Rock My World
Butterflies

A Place With No Name
Speechless
You Are My Life
Don't Walk Away
Fall Again
Whatever Happens
Another Day


I think you need to go take another listen to 'Heartbreaker'. cool

michael's background vocals are always a treat to listen to. Pitch perfect.

Jay if you have some requests for more like those I can do it too with every song, though some lend themselves better than others.

Construction of a performing arts center, museum, hotel and mega entertainment complex honoring Michael Jackson and his family are expected to be part of a major announcement today in Gary.

The Jacksons got their start in Gary, and patriarch Joe Jackson is back in the city this week.

Tuesday, he visited his former house at 2300 Jackson Street for an unveiling of a monument to his late son, King of Pop Michael Jackson. Later, Joe Jackson joined Gary Mayor Rudy Clay and Jackson Family Foundation President Simon Sahouri at the Gary Access Center, 839 Broadway, to tape a segment for a local cable show called "Eye on Gary News," hosted by LaLosa Burns, spokeswoman for Clay.

Joe Jackson dropped the words "recording studio" and "golf course" during discussion of the project, but Burns said details of the plan should be saved until today's announcement.

She said that, for years, people have talked about a Jackson family museum and performing arts and cultural center coming to Gary. She asked Joe Jackson why now is a good time for the project.

He referred to The Jackson 5 song, "Goin' Back to Indiana," and said although his son Michael is no longer around, Joe Jackson is here to carry on his legacy. Other stars who started their rise in the city have not returned to Gary, but the Jackson legacy will, he said.

"I've never seen nowhere where they brought something back," he said. "We're bringing something back."

Clay told The Times last week that the project site being explored is close to the Borman Expressway.

Sahouri said Joe Jackson insisted on having this project in Gary to create jobs, continue the Jackson legacy and to make Gary a destination, attracting people from around the world.

Jackson said it's something his son Michael Jackson would have wanted. He wanted to give back to Gary. June 25 marks one year since Michael Jackson died in Los Angeles at age 50.

Other cities wanted this project, but Joe Jackson stood firm on having it in Gary, Clay said.

Clay estimated it will draw hundreds of thousands of people each year, and the development will serve as a magnet, attracting other businesses into the city. In the United States alone, 10 million people are members of Michael Jackson's fan club, Clay said.

"This is our moment in time," he said.

Burns said she's almost certain that businesses will be knocking on Gary's door after today's announcement.

As an add on to the Darren Hayes story - he is Robin Thicke's take on Fall Again.

Absolutely beautiful……Thanks swa.

I have always hated the fact that MJ didn’t finish this song, because I believe that if Mj did finish the song it will be a timeless classic, the melody of this song is just timeless.

When I heard MJ’s version I was disappointed because I have already heard Glenn lewis’s version which was amazing…..glen’s and robin’s versions are far superior than MJ’s …and that because Mj's version is a demo......i love all the three.
