  1. Here's a recent picture of Michael and i gotta say that he looks in great physical shape. Alot better than what he was a few years ago and here's a recent interview with MJ. (He did it on his 50th B-day) and in it he says that he can still dance http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=sqGsD2FgaCA
  2. A clue that this may be true though is that Kenny Ortega is hanging around with Michael alot latley. He's the person who helped create the Dangerous and HIStory tours by the way
  3. http://music2nite.blogspot.com/2008/10/mic...d-tour-new.html Personally i'll believe it when i see it but i do hope that it's true.
  4. All i can say is that anyone who dosen't like this track needs to get their ears checked lol.
  5. I have downloaded a few videos but everytime i try to open the video on itunes nothing happens. Does anyone know what the problem is? If anyone can help me sort this problem out i would really appreciate it. Thank you :)
  6. Just think about it. If Will does Men In Black 3 then there could be a good chance of him doing the soundtrack song for the movie which could lead to a new album
  7. Source: http://www.maximum-jackson.com/discu...ead.php?t=4550 "1.)Tour related items- Michael has said that he wants to tour. Yes, that is right; Sony say they have been informed MJ wants to go on tour. The way he worded it, I was under the impression that Sony believe BIG shows at stadiums with enormous capacities would be the best option for Michael. He used this example: Doing a show at the MCG for 100,000 people at one time and doing only ONE show, rather than 5 shows at an indoor arena that holds only 20,000. They believe that by doing that there is a much better chance of it all going ahead. Same money, same total attendance but far less shows. Better for MJ and easier for Sony to organize. Win/win. 2.) New album related items- Michael has submitted 3 songs (demos) from the new album for preview to Sony BMG in New York. They said they are not radio friendly. They said first of all, they NEED a BIG hit single. They said until MJ presents at least one hit single, they wont even consider supporting an album. I am guessing that MJ wont dare show them any quality music yet, for fear of risking a leak. I reckon MJ will wait until his entire album is finished, and packed with hits, first song to last song, before he seriously presents anything to Sony NY. I mean look at Thriller 25 mixes leaking out months in advance! Also, I've been told by some of my contacts who are/were actually working ON the album, that the album will only include hit music. No fillers. No questionable songs. Hit after hit. And thats what is taking so long. We will have to wait and see. Sony say they want to be selective and careful about the new album because they were "burned" with Invincible. A few things happened- MJ did NOT submit all new tracks as expected with Invincible. Sony say some of the tracks were recycled or carried over from previous album recording sessions. They also said MJ backed out on the Millennium concerts and other promotion he was expected to do for Invincible, including a tour. Sony Australia said they worked very hard for Invincible, but the singles did not sell as expected, and that coupled with the fact MJ backed out of promo made it extremely hard for them to promote. They say in todays music, you are only as good as your last single, which is why they require a genuine HIT after all his years in absence. Sony maintain that they still have a lot of faith in Michael, and that he can deliver great new music. They want him to. 3.) Contract related items- Michael Jackson is still a Sony artist and he still owes them money. The original contract from 1991 has still not been fulfilled, which was 7 studio albums. He's done 4 plus several packages. Sony still own the masters of the previous albums. So when the new album comes, I would expect it via Sony/BMG. 4.) King Of Pop album- Michael Jackson approved the artwork, websites, concept and basically the entire project of KOP / MJ50. As such, he is credited as 'Executive producer'. Australia was the first country to start the ball rolling on the KOP albums, and the design, packaging etc, originated from Australia. Michael Jackson did not want to know about turning 50- he didn't want a series of albums named after his 50th birthday. That's why the album is called '50th Anniversary Edition'- he asked Sony to remove "50th Birthday" and even the term "MJ50" when refering to the fan party (which they didn't do lol). The special iPods and related merchandise all say "King of Pop" rather than "Mj50". 5.) Fun facts- Album sales estimates- Thriller is currently at 118 million. Invincible is currently 8 million. (worldwide figures) 6.) Video footage (concerts etc)- Basically, Sony has access to ALL Michael's tour footae and could release it IF they wanted to. One problem, they cant afford to, literally! With Sony/MJ partnership they split music profits 50/50. Fair enough.. but VIDEO is totally different! MJ made this deal back in the day where he makes 70% and Sony makes 30%. Basically, it was just good deal making on MJ's part. He pretty much outsmarted Sony. Sony said that Michael would need to allow SONY to get 70% and himself (MJ) to get only 30% for it to be financially do-able. So basically MJ needs to re-do the deal and surrender 40% of his earnings on the DVDs. IF Sony released the DVDs right now THEY would need to fund production, design, manufacturing and distribution. That would take up their entire 30% of the earnings and MJ would make a sweet 70% for doing NOTHING. So basically, we will NEVER see MJ tours released on DVD unless MJ releases them independently. Probably not on his priority list right now"
  8. You forgot to mention that he also loves Hitler lol Calling Will a Scientologist is one thing but calling him a rapist is really going bellow the belt.
  9. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZMy-WCP7b4 This is only amature footage sorry. Hopefully someone will upload pro footage
  10. If Will did rap anything i'm guessing that it was probably The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air
  11. Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal (Live in New York 1988)
  12. Does Will evan have a myspace page? That could have easily been a poser pretending to be Will Smith
