Re: Michael Jackson To Make Comeback At Grammy Awards?

Michael Jackson could make his long awaited comeback at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles next month, according to reports.




The singer, who has not toured for over a decade, is already scheduled to release the 25th anniversary edition of ‘Thriller’ on February 11th – the day after this years Grammy’s.
According to a leaked memo from SonyBMG, Jackson’s record label are desperate to get the singer to celebrate Thriller’s anniversary with a full comeback.​


As well as the Grammy Awards ceremony, the memo also mentions a potential TV special, which could include his brothers, and the possibility of live shows.
Diane Dimond, who wrote a book about Jackson’s 2005 child molestation trail – for which he was fully acquitted – told the LA times that she was 90% certain that he would appear, and possibly sing, at this years Grammy ceremony.​


If MJ wanted this to be a surprise and it gets plastered all over the net and the news I wouldn't be surprised if he withdraws. MJ is not joking. That woman wrote her report with the clearest intention to sabbotage MJ's effort. Shame that some fans haven't seen this. The article was removed and fans continue to post in in practically every thread we go to.

I would like Michael to attend. Wether he will or not remains to be seen.
 
Re: Grammy Performers: Beyonce, Foo Fighters...and Michael Jackson(rumor)?

You talk as if he was booed or disrespected at the WMA's by the audience or something and that was not the case at all. It was the media who lied and said that it was a disaster when it really wasn't. As far as Michael being "treated right" in this country, no one here has any control over that but within the industry Michael is still respected, so it shouldn't really be a problem if he went to the Grammy's. I mean, I don't think he'd get booed off stage or anything (well I certainly hope not).

Good point but No.-_- I saying that When Michael was singing with the kids ,which was a good thing, near the end of the song, You heard Michael's voice cracked when the musc stopped. Was Michael suspose to sing that day ? I think he was still trying to decide and It was told on somesites he was going to do Either Thriller or Billie Jean on stage but Chris Brown did Thriiller instead and Michael had to do another song which was Heal The World. I can still remember when he was doing Man In the Mirror at The Grammys in New York and How The Sound systems was screwing up most of the artist on stage before Michael came on and did his part of the show. And I saw how Michael was upset when he was singing and did that final spin when his knees hit the ground and Andre Crouch cameover to him to ask was he alright. That night was a sound mishap But if The night at the WMAs was working good for the other artist,what happened when Michael was on stage with the Kid chorus ? That is my beef. Yes, he was aplauded by many that night by showing up but when he was singing, to a musician's ear , he was cheated of not doing the full song. It was cut off. If you saw what happened on You Tube before they started editing and putting extra touches on the video for broadcast,You would see what I'm talking about. Another thing came to mind ,was he doing a lipsync ? I hoped not because Michael could sing his buttoff but nobody really know about that night except Michael and the heads of the WMAs. I'm just also saying, If he does show up at the Grammys or anywhere if he does sing, He should bring his own Sound people just in case someone wants to play a joke on him. I don't want Michael to be cheated of doing a good segment for the Shows he is going to perform on. Everyone wants to see a good performance from Michael and for the people who are about to plan for a embarrassing evening. May God Forgive them for playing that trick because I know if the fans find out that certain people want to hurt Michael, I'm sure a protest will be in order. I just want Michael to be treated right by the industry,mostly the Media.:mello:

Janet Jackson will perform her new single, Feedback, at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards on February 10th, backup danceer Blake McGrath confirmed in a recent interview with MTV Canada’s e2.


Hm, if Janet's there too and even perform her new single "Feedback", then I guess MJ could also perform on stage.


What do you think?

with Sony.. backing Michael full force.. DD.. is so insignificant...especially to the general public

the only people that pay her any attention ... sadly.. is us... and we need to diminish that...

I think what is being leaked.. is just want Sony/BMG want to be leaked..to test the waters...

the b.. tch is just plagarizing...

you sure that wasn't part of the show?
 
Re: Grammy Performers: Beyonce, Foo Fighters...and Michael Jackson(rumor)?

mtv news in the uk tonight broadcasted that michael will perfrom with fergie akon and will.i.am.

it WAS a part of the show :p Kinda an homage to James Brown too :)

all I know is if this is supposed to be a surprise, I hope it doesn't get ruin and MJ just won't do anything.

No, it wasn't part of the show at The Grammys at Madison Square Garden in 88.Usually nobody comes over to Michael and asked Are you alright ? when he finishes his spin and hits the ground,That night ,he hit that stage hard.
He slowly got up from that but still stayed in key.I really felt sorry for him that night.

It WAS apart of the show. MJ did it on the Dangerous Tour during Man In The Mirror numerous times too. Its all for show just like during the 95 VMA Awards where Slash keeps playing and MJ is "pissed" @ Slash for not getting off and Security tries to get him off. MJ and Slash also did this routine @ MJ & Friends 99 in Korea & Germany. Its all a stage act. :lol:

It was Before The 88 Bad Tour. He Performed for The Grammys in New York days before he went on his Tour and That's the night I'm talking about, Not The Dangerous Tour. I know he worked it into a stage act then. -_-

:D:(:mello: Is that for real? How reliable are they? Maybe this getting leaked was done on purpose. Michael has to know that rumors will be going around about him attending. I really, really, really wish it were true!!
 
Re: Grammy Performers: Beyonce, Foo Fighters...and Michael Jackson(rumor)?

god please let this be true!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
i need to see mike on a stage again!
it's been much too long. i just want him to silence all of the doubters and show the world that he still has that magic that all of us fans knows he has!
 
Re: Grammy Performers: Beyonce, Foo Fighters...and Michael Jackson(rumor)?

I think it's fairly likely that MJ will perform. If will.i.am, Fergie and Akon are performing Thriller 25 songs, then those songs are going to be pretty messed up with MJ's vocals. Especially TGIM08. Akon could probably do WBSS08 by himself. There was an early cut leaked last year where it was only him singing. But will.i.am defo can't do TGIM08 without Mike. I hope Mike also does Billie Jean for old times sake. But not the Kanye West, remix, the MJ original. That's be awesome. What's a Thriller tribute without the original Billie Jean?

Re: Grammy Performers: Beyonce, Foo Fighters...and Michael Jackson(rumor)?

On the German Version of MSN theres also a positive article about MJ's Grammy Rumor.:punk:

Would be really rocking if MJ gets back to stage!:ph34r:

That is impossible.. he cant stand there singing "the way i rock" over and over.
 
Re: Grammy Performers: Beyonce, Foo Fighters...and Michael Jackson(rumor)?

It'll either be with MJ's vocals on playback or MJ will actually be there performing his vocals.
 
Re: Grammy Performers: Beyonce, Foo Fighters...and Michael Jackson(rumor)?

or, it is a lie? TGIM aint a USA single. it would not be logical to perform it.
 
Re: Grammy Performers: Beyonce, Foo Fighters...and Michael Jackson(rumor)?

I can definetly see this happening, i would love to get some inside info from sony bmg bods or ex ones lol!! *you know who i mean* :ph34r:

I think that this will be the huge push and kickstart that will spawn the various specials, on Michael, the Jackson 5 and guest appearances with him with fergie, will, akon etc etc. I really do beklieve that these *leaked* memo is fact and i bet its to get interest as high as possible!! Michael still = mass interest= huge potential for sales= massive profit for Sony BMG and also the Michael Jackson brand!!

Lets wait and see , but i feel the time is nearly here, and as Michael said in his Video message he has many surprises, i think this was the key word!! MANY!! and with his friends who are on thriller 25!! hance the rumours he will perform with them artists.

According to the Sony BMG press release, will.i.am, Fergie and Akon are performing in the Thriller 25 tribute segment of the Grammies. So WBSS08 will be performed too.

i havent actually seen the press release apart from one posted posting it in text form. no screenshot, badly written, not in date order. i would like to know where people get these press releases.

Why are Grammys not releasing this info?

Plus i thought Fergie was touring Australia with the band The Police?
 
Re: Grammy Performers: Beyonce, Foo Fighters...and Michael Jackson(rumor)?

You're asking why a big awards show is keeping MJ performing a secret? lol. It's all about hype. Having rumours out there circulating the net will bring in more rating than if the Grammies just said "oh yeh, and Michael Jackson's performing". You know what I mean?
 
Re: Grammy Performers: Beyonce, Foo Fighters...and Michael Jackson(rumor)?

Maybe fergie has arranged to be back to perform with MJ as part of the tribute, think about it, would you be on his album and not be there???

T
 
Re: Grammy Performers: Beyonce, Foo Fighters...and Michael Jackson(rumor)?

I'd bet money on MJ NOT performing. I just can't see it happening :(
