Re: June 27-29, 2008 *Will Michael Attend Christian Audigier grandopening of his club on July 4?

Thanks Bee that's all i was trying to say and certain posters were rude to me about it. It's hard for me to take seriously a documentary where two guys only want to seperate certain aspects of Michael's body of work and if they want to do that i can live with that but to trash his other work yes it was an opinion but an obnoxious one.

You are welcome. I didn't bother reading the rest of what these two people had to say because they went a bit too far.

Re: June 27-29, 2008 *Will Michael Attend Christian Audigier grandopening of his club on July 4?

well in that case I wish I were in Vegas.. It would not hurt to take a trip down to the club and either try to get in, and/or hang out outside..

surely they're fans as well? each of Michael's albums is a creative reinvention - many people dislike his work after the 80s and are entitled to their opinions.

Are you serious?! How can someone dislike "Dangerous" for example?! I don't listen HIStory as much as other albums but I don't say I dislike it. Every single album Michael has ever released are way above the average level and quality so someone has to be kinda unsmart saying they dislike. I understand if someone says they "dislike" Michael's music because they are just not familiar with it but you can't really dislike greatness.

Michael Jackson Mentionings for June 28, 2008:


http://www.bollyspice.com/view.php/1320-harman-riding-on-a-high-five.html


In the promos for his debut film, Love Story 2050, we can see he is a great dancer. Harman recently revealed to the the media his passion for dancing, including how he learned Kathak for a year. He says although dancing is his passion, he's not too technical and fussy over it. Sheepishly, the star-in-the-making says he imitates the style of Michael Jackson and Prabhu Deva. Ask him about Hrithik and he carefully dodges it saying that he is completely a senior to him and comparing the two has no purpose at all as Roshan is held in much higher esteem

Stunning work by art, design and media students has been on display at the Dunstable College Summer Show.

The annual show opened with a dance tribute to the life of Michael Jackson, showcased by performing arts students.

Mary's House differs from the Dawn Center, which offers respite to abused women in a secret location. The shelter also offers limited stays for the homeless.
"Are we all ready this morning?" Topping asks, looking around to make sure everyone is at the table.
Minutes later, Brown glides through the door. He busts a few moves, noting that it's in honor of Michael Jackson.
"I taught him everything he knows," Brown says. The women howl with laughter.

Re: June 27-29, 2008 *Update for June 28 on post# 38*

GIVE THIS SOME THOUGHT

I'll be starting some fan promotion projects for the new album, and If it's true MJ's first single will come out around September; that means that the fan projects will be coming soon aswell..

We'll do simular things as we did for Thriller 25 plus much more..

If you would like to take part and/or have any ideas for fan promotions, just PM me and well see what we can take it from there..

We WILL effect the sales and reception of the new album.


I'm looking for a team of people to help orginize it.. And the rest of fans to simply take part.. :) It will be fun and effective..

Re: June 27-29, 2008 *Update for June 28 on post# 38*

if someone asked me to analyze this phrase : "when u do that it doesnt feel like ur trying to copy me or trying to be me but it feels like ur complimenting me" i'd say this:

michael sees the fact that those artists copy him and trying to be him BUT it feels like a compliment to him.
he doesnt deny that they copy him. the word "feel" changed everything. if he said "when u do that ur not trying to copy me or trying to be me but ur complimenting me" then the meaning woulda been totally different.

michael has said the exact same thing to tribute artists and impersonators. :)

furthermore, michael had firstly said : "i like the way u do michael jackson" and when neyo asked him what he meant by that (which was pretty obvious btw) michael realized what he just said and tried to "make things right" by giving a diplomatic explanation over what he said before.

JUST HAVING FUN
‘Weird Al’ Yankovic built his career on parodies of everyone from Eminem to Michael Jackson

yankovicpz7.jpg


The weird thing about “Weird Al” Yankovic is how oddly normal he seems.

[...]

It’s not a just-like-us normal - Yankovic is, after all, a music star who calls his accordion his “axe”

OK, maybe he’s a little weird. Rest assured, though, there’s a well thought out method to his madness that has allowed him to be the king of comedic songs for a quarter of a century. Yankovic hasn’t just been willing to “Dare to be Stupid,” in the words of his 1985 album; he’s found a way to poke fun at everyone from Michael Jackson to Eminem while making them happy about it.

“I’ve developed enough of a track record that a lot of artists actually look at it as a real homage, a tribute, to get the parody,” he said. “It’s sort of a rite of passage and a sign that they’ve achieved a certain level of success in their career.”

[...]

To avoid any ill will, among other reasons, he avoids political commentary in them and always asks the original artists for permission. Few turn him down.
“It’s pretty rare,” he said. “Prince is the one guy that’s consistently said ‘no’ over the years. He just is not a fan of parody, I guess.”

It certainly helped that Michael Jackson - whose hit song and video “Beat It” were remade by Yankovic as “Eat It” - gave his permission early on.

“All of a sudden, people were going, ‘Oh, well, if Michael Jackson said it’s OK, maybe this guy is credible.’”

[...]

Michael Jackson News for June 29, 2008:

The National Recording Registry


The Library of Congress' National Recording Preservation Board chooses audio selections every year for a national registry. Part public relations stunt, part historical blueprint, the registry aims to cover a variety of genres of works that are culturally, historically or aesthetically important.

Members of the public can nominate selections, which are taken very seriously, said Gene DeAnna, head of the library's recorded sound section. To make a nomination, go to: www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-nrr.html.
Among the 25 selections on this year's additions to the national registry, along with part of the preservation board's explanations:
1. Fiorello LaGuardia reading the comics (1945)
Fiorello LaGuardia, the effervescent New York City mayor, regularly took to the radio to communicate directly with the citizens of the city. One of LaGuardia's most recounted acts as mayor was when he read the comics to the children of the city on WNYC radio during the 1945 newspaper delivery strike. He performed animated, dramatic readings, describing the action in the panels, creating different voices and adding excitement with various sound effects.
2. 'My Fair Lady,' original cast recording (1956)
The original cast recording of "My Fair Lady" marks a high point in almost every aspect of the collaborations that produced it. It boasts a magnificent score by lyricist Alan Jay Lerner and composer Frederick Loewe -- witty, intelligent, beautiful, and romantic. Brilliantly orchestrated by Robert Russell Bennett and Philip J. Lang, it captures landmark performances by Julie Andrews, Rex Harrison and Stanley Holloway. The album's critical success and popularity with the public were unrivaled at the time.
3. U.S. Marine Band (1963)
In 1963 the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine and Air Force bands and choruses were engaged (by special permission) to make albums of American music that would be sold to help fund the National Cultural Center. The Marine Band had just returned from an extensive tour of the U.S. and was in prime form. The resulting recording by Herman Diaz Jr., the legendary producer for RCA Victor, is considered by many experts as one of the finest recordings in band history.
4. 'The Sounds of Earth,' disc prepared for the Voyager spacecraft (1977)
Never released to the public, this disc was prepared to aurally introduce our planet to any alien intelligence that might encounter the Voyager spacecraft many millions of years in the future. The disc contains encoded photographs, spoken messages, music and sounds. There are greetings delivered from around the world in 55 languages. The sound essay includes life sounds (EEGs and EKGs), birds, elephants, whales, volcanoes, rain and a baby. The 90 minutes of music features selections from ragas, Navajo Indian chants, Java court instrumental music, Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto No. 2," a Peruvian woman's wedding song, and Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode."
5. 'Thriller,' Michael Jackson (1982)
Michael Jackson's second album with legendary producer Quincy Jones attained stratospheric national and international success. Featuring outstanding performances by Paul McCartney on "The Girl is Mine" and a metallic Eddie Van Halen guitar lead on "Beat It," the album had immeasurable influence on the record industry and subsequent popular music.
6. Ronald Reagan radio broadcasts (1976-1979)
This collection of over 1,000 radio broadcast recordings, the majority penned by Ronald Reagan himself, documents the development of his political vision in the years immediately preceding his election to the White House. Also showcased is Reagan's conversational, folksy rhetorical style, which added measurably to his public appeal. To see the entire list of recordings added this year, go to www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-2007reg.html

Jackson 5 dazzle will be on display

A little bit of the Jackson 5 will be on display starting July 31 at the Indiana State Museum.
Guests at the museum in White River State Park will get a close look at one of the troupe's bright red travel trunks and a colorful and sparkle-studded costume the oldest Jackson son, Jackie, wore when the group appeared in 1974 on the "Sonny & Cher Show."
The Jackson family artifacts, purchased at a huge Las Vegas auction in 2007, will be front and center in the display case. Also on exhibit will be the driving suits Michael Andretti and his son, Marco, wore when they competed against each other at the Indianapolis 500, a movie poster from "Tootsie" in memory of Indiana's own Sydney Pollack, who died in May, and more.
Dale Ogden, the museum's chief curator of cultural history, oversaw the bidding on the artifacts from the Jackson family, famous natives of Gary. The challenge: deciding which items were museum-quality artifacts and which were simply cool collectibles.
One thing's for sure: The costume, a maroon and pink ensemble made especially for Jackie, has been worn. It's dirty. Like all the other items in the auction, the two lots the museum bought for about $15,000 had been sitting in storage for years before they were sold.
Gaby Kienitz, a fabric conservator at the museum, is still deciding whether to clean it up.
"So far, I vacuumed it and there was a lot of dirt, an amazing amount," she said. Most theatrical costumes, no matter how dazzling, are usually well-worn once they make it to a museum, she said.
She's just glad there aren't massive perspiration stains in the jacket.
The two trunks were filled with other Jackson material, including a menu from a Las Vegas hotel announcing their appearance, sheet music signed by three of the brothers (including Michael) and other costumes from the same TV appearance.
The museum didn't purchase any of the items directly related to the more famous siblings, Michael or Janet Jackson, Ogden said, in part because there was no way to verify them as museum-quality. The costumes the museum did buy can be glimpsed in old photographs.
Las Vegas auctions are unusual ways to add to the collection, Ogden concedes, but acquiring significant contemporary artifacts relating to northwest Indiana and African-American Hoosiers made the worthwhile.

Merkel, a politician who has never been accused of being especially telegenic, in effect led the whole nation Wednesday night in cheering Germany's win over Turkey, with German television network ZDF focusing its cameras on her after a goal as she held both hands up in the air, a meter or so apart, shaking her outstretched fingertips in an oddly touching show of emotion that evoked early Michael Jackson videos




http://www.vvdailypress.com/news/valley_7198___article.html/years_apple.html


APPLE VALLEY — In 1983, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” album burned up the pop charts, everyone had Pac-Man fever, and a little alien named E.T. was in the nation’s heart.

At the same time, Rick Piercy’s second and third grade classes buried a time capsule at Yucca Loma Elementary school.
Twenty-five years later, some of those students returned to retrieve the time treasure.

Yet, listen to "Heart Songs" on the band's new album (its third self-titled disc and sixth album overall), and lead singer-songwriter Rivers Cuomo explains the key to the band's success: Cuomo praises most mainstream radio rock of the 1970s-'90s (including Quiet Riot, Michael Jackson, Cat Stevens and Eddie Rabbitt) as the music that holds deep meaning to him and follows with an acknowledgement to Nirvana for inspiring him to start a band.

Instead of playing the 250 or so songs that come pre-programmed on the unit, the modified machine could play, essentially, anything — provided the beats per minute of a particular song lined up with the footsteps programmed into the computer.
Using a program to create original “step charts,” the pair came up with a new mix of music that included everything from contemporary club hits to Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.”

In much of his work, Winston turned human actors into figures of fantasy. He won recognition for the technical wizardry that transformed Michael Jackson into the Scarecrow in The Wiz (1978) and making a mutant of Johnny Depp in Scissorhands.


Michael Jackson HIStory for June 29, 2008:
