Indian duo gives Jackson hit Thriller a Bollywood edge

London, May 27 (ANI): The dynamic duo Suleman Mirza and Madhu Singh of the well established dance troupe Signature delighted the judges with their performance at the auditions for Britains Got Talent.
While Mirza wowed the crowds with his Michael Jackson impersonation, Singh wandered on stage, broom in hand, on the pretence of sweeping the floor.
Signature gave Jackson hit Thriller a Bollywood edge, which judges agreed was one of the ITV1 shows most original performances.
You are two ordinary guys doing ordinary day jobs and by nights you do this crazy, crazy act, The Sun quoted judge Piers Morgan, as saying.
Simon Cowell said: This is one of the best acts because what you have is something so important you have originality. (ANI) http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal...n-hit-thriller-a-bollywood-edge_10053326.html

Singer ushers in new life with uber-smooth blandness

...Employing his Michael Jackson by way of R Kelly style, Usher pledges his love on one uber-smooth, slickly programmed track after another...
The singer's loveshine does yield a couple of fine moments however, particularly on Something Special, a stripped down, old school R&B ditty that kicks in like Bad-era Michael Jackson...http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald....html?id=450069ad-d2ec-4649-b12c-b2fdf3695a90

Four walls won't hold me tonight
If this town

Then let me take a bite

is that in vegas or new york? it was reported in the 90s when he was with lisa that he owned a apartment in the building.
 
Mike knows what he's doing..

he'll always be ok.. ;)
 
Thanks for the news. If Michael will release his album this year, it may easily ship like no less than 10 million in couple of months just as Invincible did -- or even more.

Fans, we have chance to get a big thing. If there will be no promotion problems, then Michael can be as big as ever.

Even Invincible could sell easily up to 20 million or more worldwide, if songs like Whatever Happens, Speechless, Break Of Dawn were released and marketed properly.

Now, however, we have to take marketing situation into account; sales were down sharply in latest years. But Michael himself said recently that people may start going to music shops again if they will hear something great. That is why Invincible shipments level is possible even in current marketing conditions.

The 'Thriller' singer - who rarely makes public appearances - tried to disguise himself by wrapping a coat around his face and wearing sunglasses as he entered the MGM Grand Hotel in the medical aid.

Jackson witnessed Jenna Jameson's boyfriend Tito Ortiz get beaten by Lyoto Machida during the evening.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a US-based mixed martial arts (MMA) organization, which is recognised as the largest MMA promotion in the world.

As well as attending the evening of bouts, Jackson went to Los Angeles' Peterson Automotive Museum to celebrate the 50th birthday of designer Christian Audigier.

Jackson - dressed in a blue satin military and western-themed shirt - took to the stage to say a few words about his friend.

The pop superstar said: "Christian is the king of fashion."

Pamela Anderson, Fergie and Britney Spears also attended the bash.

Since there are no thread for today's news yet, you can merge them with this two...

Ray Lavender: AKON Protégé and “KONVICTED”

Akon is a shrewd businessman who has been busy putting together a talented team

Who in the world is Ray Lavender and what does AKON have to do with him?

Well, let’s just say that if you have not heard about this brotha outta Louisiana, you better ask somebody!!

Mr. Lavender is not only being tagged as AKON’s Protégé, he is now the face of KONVICT (AKON’s label) Clothing. As if that were not enough, he informed me that he is preparing to go on tour with Michael Jackson – yes folks, the “gloved one” has caught Lavender Fever.

(...)

Jamati: So what can we look for from you before the album comes out?

Ray Lavender: Well, The KONVICT Clothing line coming out. It is going to be in Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Richies and all the major stores. So every time you see the clothing line, you’ll see my face. Got some movies coming out- AKON’s got a movie called “Cocaine Cowboys”. – oh and we have a big Tour coming up with AKON & Michael Jackson. How big is that?

Jamati: WOW…that is huge!!

Ray Lavender: Yeah, I call AKON everyday and ask him if he is for real. But you know he did 6 or 7 new songs on Michael Jackson’s new album, so it’s very realistic.

JACKSON SIGHTINGS

Michael Jackson met with one of Donald Trump's go-betweens at the Trump International Hotel & Tower last week.

Jackson and local deal maker Jack Wishna had their meeting early last week in the Trump tower boardroom. Wishna facilitated Jackson's move to Las Vegas in December 2006 after several years of self-exile.

The original plan was to move Jackson into Trump's $125 million mansion in Palm Beach, Fla.

Jackson lived at Trump Tower in New York back in the '80s and has had a personal friendship with Trump for years.

I surely hope MJ doesnt take the stage with Akon

Michael Jackson: Spectacular stage settings, amazing dance routines, incredible lighting, drama, emotion, excitement, the HIGHEST quality entertainment imaginable.

Akon: CD backing track, DJs, gangstas yelling stuff out, Akon wandering around in the crowd, not singing his songs, letting the audience feel him up all over.

Not exactly the right combo.

Also hope those "6 or 7 songs" on MJ's new album were PRODUCED by Akon, not duets or features with Akon...
 
i tell you this!! something huge is going on!! i feel the excitement building, lets face it! who else could cause that commotion by just attending someones birthday party and actually speak and be drowned out by the crowd!! because you are the KING no question about it! Michael the people want you BACK!!

anyone see So you Think you can dance where the Italian guy did MJ's Dangerous dance from the MTV awards... and the judge said it wouldn't really work over here in the US....
