I finally spoke with Will.I.am.

Whereas he REFUSED to talk about the music he made with Michael, he did talk about Michael the person and I have a special story I'd like to share with you.

They have been recording for a couple of hours in the studio on that day and MJ got hungry. There was only Michael, Will and Keith in there. When Michael said that he'd really like to eat something, Keith suggested he might go to a Food Market that is a 5 minute drive from there and be right back. Michael said that he'd pretty much like to take a break too and that they could go there together. So off they went, right there the three of them in the car. When they parked in front of the store, Will asked Keith to wait there with Michael while he goes in to buy food. But MJ said "No, it's ok, let's go there together!" The three of them went into the store, picked some fruits and on their way to the check-out Michael also saw a huge layer cake, which he took, along with the apples to the clerk. Michael himself paid in cash and left the guy standing there with his jaw dropped [MJ was not even wearing sunglasses, just a baseball cap]. They giggled all the way back to the studio.

It took 15 minutes altogether, but Will says was one of the more memorable fun moments he had with MJ. Michael loved it and remembered the situation when they last spoke on the phone.

“It's a New Day”, “Take Our Planet Back” along with a great charity project were all discussed with Michael before they happened and Will says Michael was the main inspiration.

Michael with his son Prince visited the set of "Take Our Planet Back" in December 2008. Prince and Michael ARE behind the camera for some scenes, I'm not sure which.

I am keeping most of the conversation to myself, as it was a one in a lifetime experience for me and we talked mostly about his art.

Also, I am very sorry that I have no information regarding the songs they worked on together, I expected to get some exlusive info for you, but unfortunately I was unable to.

Thank you, Alec, good work :) Did you talk to him via e-mail or actually phone?
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread - Discussion Only - ALL DISCUSSION HERE PLEASE

Wonder where they got £8.99 from, must be a rough price
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread - Discussion Only - ALL DISCUSSION HERE PLEASE

I left that group "The Truth About Michael Jackson, Allegations" because they're doing that "Boycott $ony" stuff and said that all the songs will be demos and that the songs will be sung by someone else.....

Do fans really believe that? LOL
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread - Discussion Only - ALL DISCUSSION HERE PLEASE

I have a version of Hold My Hand in what sounds to me like CDQ. But I assume that's a version that's been leaked...?
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread - Discussion Only - ALL DISCUSSION HERE PLEASE

Looks like things are finally starting to emerge. Pre-ordered :D
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread - Discussion Only - ALL DISCUSSION HERE PLEASE

The video game will be released in November. They have already announced it about two months prior, which is normal.

But what about albums? Does anyone know how long before the release date they announce it?

The album may not be released till next year. But then again, I don't know about the music industry as I never buy albums. I only buy Michale's albums and it's been so long since he's released one.
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread - Discussion Only - ALL DISCUSSION HERE PLEASE

surely we MUST get some sort of news this week. Shamone!!
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread - Discussion Only - ALL DISCUSSION HERE PLEASE

The album will come when it comes.. not point complaining as doing so will not hurry the completion.. just wait and enjoy the music we have already.

I would love to hear these. To be honest I want to hear unheard songs.

When I look on Amazon to pre-order the album it says "Michael Jackson - Do You Remember?" Is that really the title??

Are you saying that all these are unreleased songs by Michael Jackson that have just been newly registerd? :shock2:
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread - Discussion Only - ALL DISCUSSION HERE PLEASE

Are all those songs that are registered with the US Copyright Office recorded? Or are they simply songs that have been written? or both?
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread - Discussion Only - ALL DISCUSSION HERE PLEASE

Some of those titles I can imagine Michael finalized... He recorded so many amazing songs Sony didn't want to release...
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread - Discussion Only - ALL DISCUSSION HERE PLEASE

I think they're recorded.

Re: The Official New Album Thread - Discussion Only - ALL DISCUSSION HERE PLEASE

oh so just because they are registered with the US Copyright Office doesn't mean they were recorded?

If it's filed under "Music" I would assume it's recorded. If its filed as Sound Recording, it definitely is

It also sometimes tells you in what format it was registered in. If it's just written music, it says "document" and such....

Re: The Official New Album Thread - Discussion Only - ALL DISCUSSION HERE PLEASE

I'm looking at the copyright listings right now. My only concern is that the ones that say:

"Copyright Note: C.O. correspondence.
Regarding author information: Deposit contains music only."

mean that there are no lyrics, it's just instrumental. Quite a few of the songs say that. Do you think that's what that means, or do you think that just means there is not a WRITTEN set of lyrics to accompany the music, or what?

Example: Michael's Affirmation entry vs. Michael's Affirmation (Instrumental)--notice that only the instrumental version has that "music only" notice?

Phone call :)
It was amazing.

I think it's awesome we have proof that Michael didn't really live the way he was forced to all the time. I wish he'd spent more time with people like that (or maybe he did, who knows?).
