    Since the 3rd anniversary of its release a few days ago, I've had a feeling that there would be a story relating somehow to This Is It on TMZ, also because it was the 3rd anniversary of thisisalsoit on October 29th. <br />So I did a little  :Michael_Jackson_dancing_smile when I saw this story, ESPECIALLY with the number 24 there considering the latest discussion on Sign 6 <br /><br />Also - date of posting is 10/30/2012 = 9 & time: 6:30 = 9  9+9 =18<br /><br />Of course I love reading between the lines.....<br /><br />[size=14pt]MJ [/size][size=8pt]ESTATE & PAUL ANKA[/size]<br />[size=8pt]Sued Over[/size] [size=14pt]This Is It[/size]<br />[size=8pt]For $24 MILLION[/size]<br /><br /> :icon_mrgreen:

    The numbers are interesting indeed. This story is strange, 3 yrs later? sues over the song "I Never Heard" ...Anka has 'never even heard' the name Michael Jonzun?  :icon_lol:<br /><br /> found a Michael Jonzun video.. $$$ ..  :LolLolLolLol: <br /><br />
  • I remember the news about the songwriting issue with Paul Anka, which has been clarified with the Estate<br /><br />
    Paul Anka has given his reaction to a track he worked on with Michael Jackson in 1983 being released as a single earlier this week (October 12) without initially crediting him.

    Paul Anka tells TMZ, he has never even heard the name Michael Jonzun before today -- and any claims Jonzun owns a portion of "This Is It" are "BS."
    <br />Right, BS it is, because according to Michael Jonzun´s biography he started on his own in ´85, 2 years after the collaboration between MJ and Paul Anka on this song, so Jonzun couldn´t have worked on the song. :suspect:<br /><br />Michael Jonzun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jonzun<br /><br />
    The former head of the Jonzun Crew, Michael Jonzun went on his own in 1985, but didn't have much success recording for A&M

    <br /><br /><br />The man exists, first time that I read that name :icon_geek:<br />
  • Thank you for sharing this information. The timing is very interesting indeed. Someone is helping to keep Michael and "This Is It" in the news.<br /><br />Gema - good to see you again. I thought the same thing about the name.<br /><br />Blessings :)
