Okay, so on MJ's 50th Bday Sony BMG are holding a party in Sydney for MJ fans and doing a MJ50 pack including the tribute album which FANS GET TO VOTE ON THE TRACK LIST FOR!

Right...

So here is my idea:

Why dont we vote for all the best tunes from Invincible, some killers from the other albums, but NOT just the songs that were "charting hits"

This is OUR choice... OUR album... and I know I am SICK of having the SAME songs on EVERY SINGLE BES OF!

Imagine a tracklisting including:

Unbreakable
Will You Be There
Blood On The Dance Floor
You Rock My World
Earth Song
Why You Wanna Trip On Me
Butterflies
Whatever Happens
Speechless
They Dont Care About Us
Stranger In Moscow


Rather than just the stock standard predicatble:

DSTYGE
Rock With U
Billie Jean
Beat It
Thriller
ect...


What do you guys think?
:)
 
Re: MJ50 - Choosing the Australian Tracklist - I HAVE AN IDEA!

I've ajusted the title breaking news is not a tracklisting for a fan event. It's for actual "Michael" or board News. Sony BMG is giving the party?
 
Re: MJ50 - Choosing the Australian Tracklist - I HAVE AN IDEA!

woops this isnt really breaking news is it lol!

i voted for:
Billie Jean
Will You Be There
Unbreakable
Butterflies
Speechless

(you can only pick 5)

I hope we dont go so stereotypical this time!!!

I just went to the link and filled out the songs and wrote a message----only to be told there is "an error"
Will have to try later, maybe.

AWW!!!---DARN IT----just realised, I will be in Sydney just a few days later--on 6th September. If I had known about this earlier, I would have altered my arrangements to include this for Michael.

Anyone got a bed to spare for 4'5 nights????

I just found this on SonyBMG's website:

Choose The Tracks On Michael Jackson's 50th Birthday Album!
Michael Jackson turns 50 on August 29 and Sony BMG Music Entertainment, are giving his Australian fans the chance to congratulate Michael and celebrate with him by choosing the track list for Michael's new Australian album release 'King Of Pop'.
As of tomorrow, Saturday 21st June and for the next three weeks, fans will be able to go to www.mj50.com.au and vote for the tracks they want to appear on the 'King Of Pop' album - which will be released on Michael's 50th Birthday on August 29 2008.

They can also leave Michael a birthday wish - a selection of which will be forever immortalized as part of the limited edition album artwork!

Sony BMG Music Entertainment is proud to celebrate Michael's amazing career, with over 200 Million sales worldwide and over four million in Australia. What better way to celebrate this than with a new King Of Pop greatest hits package that uniquely has been voted for by his Australian fans.

In the first Australian fan-driven album of its kind, King of Pop will contain the top 30 tracks chosen from Michael's Australian fans, plus rare tracks from Michael's career and a never before released track plus a brand new "MegaMix" from the legendary Jason Nevins.

'King Of Pop' will be released in two editions. The first is a limited edition digi-pak that will feature selected voters names and messages left by the fans on the www.mj50.com.au site and a special fold-out poster that follows Michael through his illustrious musical career. The second edition will be a standard release of the album without the poster.

Go to www.mj50.com.au


It's a pity that something like this isn't being done elsewhere because this would finally be another compilation worth buying. I wonder what the 'never before released track' is.
