When I'm less sleepy I'm going to read this whole thread cause this seems to be great news! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
(This is a reminder for myself so I won't forget to read it)
So...now that MJ, KOP died, he won't be able to call himself THIS on any future endeavors(especially, so as not to confused people , as to what is prior to "death" and since "death". Is he...uh...taking a completely different name, or what? New logos, new look, and everything?
Many of you laugh about Sony getting stuck holding old unreleased stuff which MJ, for some reason didn't choose to release, at all, up to "dying", as if you believe it's just some leftovers and who cares?, but some of the hottest, and coolest and some of the most beautiful "leftovers" keep showing up on re-released albums...

WELL I DON'T THINK THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED IN 2007 BECAUSE MJ WAS IN BAHRAIN AFTER HIS TRIAL N WAS PLANNING TO SETTLE IN THERE N WAS ALSO NEGOTIATING BUSINESS WITH PRINCE OF BAHRAIN. IMO THIS ALBUM MIGHT HAVE BEEN RECORDED AFTER HIS DEATH HOAX N I DON'T BUY THAT HE HAS RECORDED HIS ALBUM IN 2007.
To my best knowledge he was in Bahrain in 2006, and in Ireland recording in 2007.
wasn't that the will.i.am sessions in ireland in some old castle in the middle of nowhere? where they just 'kicked some grooves around'? i think there is some footage on that on youtube somewhere.
edit: the ireland recording session with will.i.am was also in 2006, just checked...

of course sony has to make money for a while and it's def no mistake to at least listen to whatever mike produced musically. but at some point, sony's source is gonna die out and all they will have left is re-runs. my take is also, that there will be quite a number of albums where they gonna put old and new stuff together. i srsly doubt that there will be a whole album with just new material on there. they won't shoot out all their ammunition at once. and since they know that the die-hard fans will even buy a whole cd with just 2 or 3 new songs, they can keep their money machine going for a while...
it's called merchandise... <!-- s --><!-- s -->
An Irish friend of mine told me he also recorded songs with a Celtic sound. I wonder when that will come out.
It seems as if he has been experimenting with different styles in preparation for the passing of the "King of Pop" which probably had worn thin at his age and for his talent, which goes beyond "pop music".
Have you seen Lady Gaga on the cover of Time? Do you think it's a coincidence that all of a sudden she's the reigning queen of pop now that MJ is gone and Madonna is getting older?
We'll be hearing a lot of different things from Michael that he couldn't put out due to the negative publicity associated with him and his prior image. Many people have stated that the 80s image was the one that appeared at the Memorial and the Funeral.
Ok, guys you're getting me all excited although I know I should just chill, lol! <!-- s --><!-- s -->
I don't believe "Water" is really a song if we are to judge by what's in TII. On another forum someone mentioned that "Wooee" could also be a new song (Michael taking a ride on the lift thing) hahahah! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) --> As to the estate, they're the one handling Michael's money/assets why would he want to put them on the spot?

I think it is a bit ( <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: --> WAAAAAY) uncharacteristic for Michael Jackson to become intimidated into changing his winning style to FOLLOW trends, when he's always been THE trailblazer/trend SETTER. He has created some of the most TIMELESS, classic and beautiful music, EVER (not even to mention his golden touch and interpretation/ arrangement of songs written for him or by others!). If it doesn't scoop you out of your seat and make your backbone slip, it moves you to real tears. None of this came from his trying to be pop-ular.
You know? His not being 29 any more has
NO thing
to do with jack-anything. Trick dog and pony acts copycats have been vying to short-cut to something like the King (of Pop)'s Crown and position for decades. Keep dreaming, wannabees. His genius is in his LEADING and going with what HE pulled out of the sky and liked, not what was popular at the time. He SET popular, by creating hunger in people for HIS <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> unique style...sigh.
I haven't listened ON PURPOSE, to anything but Oldies (CLASSIC 60s, 70s, 80s, SOME 90s) since 2004. I spend ALL my time in the car pushing the tune/scan buttons. <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( --> There has been nothing on the radio for years, which has really "pollenated" my being.

Will.i.am was also with MJ in Ireland in 2008. He tweeted about it recently as Will.i.am was in Dublin last week at a gig and he tweeted that "this time last year i was in an irish cottage with Michael Jackson"

And right, the "Peter Lopez case" should not be underestimated, although I`m not quite sure yet what to think of it ...
