Transcript of the interview

Q:andpop
What do you feel your greatest accomplishement has been so far

A; Keith Harris (BEP)
I think working with Michael Jackson.
Just having my name alongside Michael Jackson's is great
Im mean thats BIG

Q:andpop
Is he one of your Idols

A; Keith Harris
Oh of course.

Q:andpop
whats it like working with Michael Jackson

A; Keith Harris
Its great. Its just the awe factor of sitting next to Michael Jackson.
It's like he's talking to me._ Hey he's talking to ME .. ha ha and just
knowing all that he has accomplished in his life. Starting of as a kid just
killing it with his vocals.

Just his music experience alone is something to be in awe of and his aura
and his positive energy he brings to the studio is so great. A lot of artists
dont do that (becuase they feel Im such and such a big somebody) But he
is just really really cool a really nice guy. It was an honor to work with him.

I watched the video and Keith looked like he was in awe talking about MJ:D
 
i wish i could fly right up to the sky but i cant...... a duet with orvile would be tops lol
 
I just LOVE seeing these positive articles and
having other artists PRAISING Michael like that
it make me all tingly :)
 
so is this guy working with him though will iam?
 
I said this yesterday in the news thread, but everyone always uses the word nice to describe Michael, everybody, since the late 70s, lol, and it's because he genuinely is so.

Keith Harris confirmed what I have always thought it would be like to work and interact
with Michael Jackson. :artist:

This is what I like to hear! Just goes to show that MJ is workin with alot of people on this new record. And it appears that he is organizing everything himself, and co-ordinating his own life which is a very positive sign. He has no record label screaming at him with a deadline (which may be bad for the fans in the short term but good in the long term because i'm willing to bet the quality of this next album once it comes out will be OUTSTANDING). So many people have talked about being involved already and I have a feeling that we will continue to hear new names of people involved coming out over the next several months. I'm lovin all the respect the industry has for Michael, its a great thing to see.
 
Isnt funny how whenever other celebs meet/work with MJ they turn all soppy like a little 10 yr old meeting there idol for the first time and cant believe there actually talking to him ha ha! i love it!!

I was about to say that! They all talk like little kids in awe of their idol :p

Thanks for the transcript Mickie!
 
Well what can i say. People love Michael and no matter what lies the tabloids print about him people will always respect him and love him
 
everybody who talks about Mike keeps mentioning ' his aura'.....do you guys notice that as well? 'cause I truly have always noticed that he gives off something that endears him to people.

I've noticed that too. It's his charisma and aura, and no matter what lies the media has told and what tricks they've tried to get folks to hate Michael, people are still drawn to him and still say he's a nice and loving person.:D
 
Didn't Keith Harris already worked on the Thriller 25 project. Read the booklet. Mayb he is referring to that... and not the new album :rolleyes:
 
^ that doesn't mean he isn't working alongside will.i.am (like he's done for many albums) on Mike's new material.
 
Oh my how great to hear other artists talk about michael . It warms my heart to see how he is so loved. Even with all that some have tried to do their are more and more proving michael Jackson is one of a kind and a king in his own right. thanks so much for the article.

Yeah i think its its called sex appeal ha!!
 
Keith worked on t25. He doesn't make it clear if that's all he did with mike.. If anything it sounds to be more aimed at t25 cuz he mentions seeing his name next to miles.. Thriller 25 booklet..
