    Yes it was posted already, but I'll rename this to the Official BAD 25 Thread. Maybe we could collect all the stuff here.

  • MJ Bad 25 Single Heading For # 1<br /><br />MJ Bad 25 Single Heading For # 1 <br /><br />(9-6-2012) MJFC just learned that Michael Jackson's new single, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You"/"Don't Be Messin' 'Round", available exclusively at WalMart, is currently the top selling music title on Wal-mart.com and has a real shot at being  #1 on the Billboard Single Sales Chart this week!! Sales will be counted 'til this coming Monday at midnight (local time in each market), so please urge everyone you know to grab a single at their local WalMart store or on the website, and let's get Michael's first single from BAD25 a #1 debut!!  #BAD25<br /><br />Matt Forger, Michael Jackson’s recording engineer for Don't Be Messin' 'Round recently spoke about the new release.<br /><br />    One of the main intentions is to show that these are works in progress. To pull the curtain back. To actually see Michael in his natural work environment, how he directs, his sense of humor, his focus ... His spirit and emotion are totally there. He knew in demos he didn't have to be totally perfect in his execution. So he'd be loose. He'd throw in ad libs and dance or sing or pop his fingers or clap his hands. You just hear him enjoying himself.” Sounds great: Instead of trolling for one more radio hit, as they did with 2009’s Michael — where Akon was pulled in to awkwardly plug in the many holes of maligned lead single “Hold My Hand” — the MJ estate now seems cool with just letting this stuff out, letting it be prodded and poked just as it is. More of that, please.
  • I have to say that I've listened to this song a few times and I really like it. It's definitely MJ - no controversy there. I'll be buying a copy or two to help the promotion along. Hopefully others will too as MJ is so deserving to be #1.<br /><br />Blessings to your day :)

    Did my weekly 11pm Walmart trip, and they said they didn't have it there...  :over-react-smiley:<br /><br /><br />
  • I know - I had to order online too but it gave me the option to pick up at the store for free. I chose to have it delivered. Here is the link if you're interested. Blessings.<br /><br />Walmart.com: I Just Can't Stop Loving You (Walmart Exclusive), Michael Jackson: Pop<br /><br />

    <br /><br />I think that Michael's BAM should be preceded by a #1 single, maybe "A place with no name" but full version, I leave you here with a remixed version:<br /><br />

    Jackson Source - Spike Lee immersed in Michael Jackson Documentary<br /><br />Spike Lee immersed in Michael Jackson Documentary<br />Published on Tuesday, 10 July 2012 13:43<br /><br />New York, NY – It was announced today that Academy Award nominated filmmaker Spike Lee, in conjunction with the Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music, is in the final stages of post production of a Michael Jackson documentary focusing on Michael’s landmark BAD album and worldwide tour. The project marks the first ever in-depth, behind the scenes film project to chronicle a Michael Jackson album, and is being filmed amid the 25th anniversary celebration of the iconic album, record-breaking world tour and groundbreaking short films that changed music history. The documentary features over 40 interviews conducted personally by Spike Lee with Michael’s confidants, choreographers, musicians and other collaborators who collectively unveil the real story of this “coming of age” project through their vivid recollections of what it was like to work day in and day out and live this project with Michael. BAD’s lasting influence is captured through interviews with some of today’s top artists, including Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Cee Lo Green and Sheryl Crow, who was a back-up singer on the BAD tour.<br /><br /> <br /><br />The Michael Jackson BAD documentary joins an incredible body of Spike Lee documentaries including the Peabody and Emmy Award winning, When The Levees Broke: A Requiem In Four Acts and its follow up, If God Is Willing And Da Creek Don’t Rise, Kobe Doin’ Work, and the Oscar Nominated, 4 Little Girls. Lee directed both short films for Michael Jackson’s “They Don’t Care About Us” in 1996.<br /><br />Spike Lee comments, “I’m more than just a huge fan of Michael Jackson, and having the chance to actually know him and work with him, I deeply care about his legacy. With this BAD project I was able to uncover just what made this such a huge, important coming of age in his career and unearth compelling stories surrounding the making of the album, the long awaited follow-up to Thriller – the best selling album of all time - the short films and the tour that may have never seen the light of day.”<br /><br />Among the interviewees are Oscar-winning film director Martin Scorcese, Joe Pytka and other filmmakers who worked with Michael to bring the stories in his songs to life on the screen through short films that remain today some of the most vivid and creative storytelling by a musical artist as well as one of his Michael’s personal engineers, Matt Forger, who worked with Michael at the recording studio at Michael’s Hayvenhurst home where the songs first came to life, keyboardist Greg Phillinganes, who worked on the album and then the BAD Tour. Also shedding light on the BAD album, short films and tour are individuals like former CBS Head Walter Yetnikoff, as well as choreographers Jeffrey Daniel and Vincent Paterson.<br /><br />John Branca and John McClain, co-executors of The Estate of Michael Jackson comment, “Spike Lee’s genius as a storyteller combined with his passion and first-hand appreciation of Michael’s artistry makes him the logical filmmaker to tell the story of BAD. We are thrilled to be working with him on this unique project.”<br /><br />The third and final album collaboration for Jackson and Quincy Jones, BAD launched a pivotal coming of age for the King of Pop as a performer, composer and producer. The album was #1 around the world, made history with five consecutive #1 singles on the Billboard chart, produced ten chart-topping singles, nine ground breaking short films and to date, the BAD album has generated over 45 Million units in sales. BAD was nominated for six Grammys and won two; the album earned Michael the first-ever Video Vanguard Award at the MTV VMA Awards. Songs on the original album are: “Bad,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Speed Demon,” “Liberian Girl,” “Just Good Friends” featuring Stevie Wonder, “Another Part of Me,” “Man in the Mirror,” “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Dirty Diana,” “Smooth Criminal,” with “Leave Me Alone” added to the CD version of the album once released.<br /><br />Spike Lee’s film supports the 25th anniversary of BAD, which will also be celebrated with the September 18th release of BAD 25, a must-have deluxe package featuring three CDs, two collectible booklets, and features the first-ever authorized DVD release of a concert from the record breaking BAD tour, the concert at Wembley Stadium on July 16, 1988 attended by Princess Diana, Prince Charles and a sold-out crowd of 72,000 fans. A BAD 25 two CD standard edition featuring the original album plus the CD of demos and new remixes will also be made available as will a stand alone edition of the DVD and a picture disc of the original album. More details on this and other exciting projects relating to BAD’s 25th anniversary will be announced soon.<br /><br />www.MichaelJackson.com <br />Michael Jackson | Facebook<br />#WhosBAD

    I like it on the Facebook post how it's called the "Bad" project and not the BAD album.<br /><br />
    The award winning filmmaker Spike Lee has collaborated with The Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music on an in-depth behind the scenes film project featuring over 40 interviews conducted personally by Spike Lee with Michael's confidants, choreographers, musicians and other collaborators who collectively unveil the the story of the "Bad" project.

    <br /><br />Isn't it around the time of the BAD album that the hoax planning possibly started? Maybe the doco on the "Bad" project will encompass much more than the album and the making of the short films? <br /><br />Just a thought anyway  :icon_cool:

    <br /><br />Mary  - yes it is. It's not in past tense as it should be if MJ was dead.

    The whole thing is double-speak. It could be talking about the Bad tour/album or it could be talking about the hoax project. I hate when that happens because I start getting excited again.

    Love the finger snapping and that huge 'hoooooo' is just the best! A very tantalising snippet, to say the least.<br /><br />(I'm getting excited again too Bec!)
