Michael Jackson's set list revealed here
Exclusive by Tom Bryant 12/03/2009
Michael Jackson is planning a Thriller of a show to mark his amazing comeback this summer.
The Daily Mirror has seen the setlist the King of Pop has handed to AEG Live, who run London’s O2 Arena where he will play a residency in July.
***** pledged to sing all his “classics” during lengthy contract talks last week.
A source said: “Bosses were concerned Michael might veer away from his greatest hits. He wanted to guarantee that this would not be the case and produced this list to reassure them.
“He’s toying with the idea of doing a Jackson 5 medley as well, and he’ll open with a four minute long intro to Billie Jean.”
The secret list, printed below, includes Smooth Criminal, Man in the Mirror and Beat It.
Pre-sale tickets for *****’s first 10 shows at The O2 sold out in minutes yesterday. At one point all the interest crashed the Ticketmaster website. Demand is so great there are 30 shows scheduled – but this could rise.
Tickets for all shows go on sale to the general public tomorrow at 7am, priced £75 from *****’s website or Ticketmaster. Some are selling on eBay for up to £10,000.
Set list verdict from BBC Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills
Billie Jean
- This has one of the best base lines I've ever heard in my life.
Wanna be startin' somethin
- Excellent opening of the classic Thriller album. Wicked choice.
Rock with you
- Slow funky classic that rates among his best.
The way you make me feel
- Best intro to a ***** song (apart from Thriller!) Top one Michael.
Don't stop till you get enough
- The ultimate disco anthem. I can never get enough of this one.
I just can't stop loving you
- One for the ladies and romantics in the audience
Human Nature
- One of Thriller's slower moments but well worth including in the list
Smooth criminal
- One of my favourite ***** videos and songs too
Girlfriend
- Very much a filler from Off The Wall. Not for me.
Man in the Mirror
- Loving it when the gospel kicks in. Lets hope he gets a full choir involved.
Beat it
- What an incredible guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen. Get him over to the UK!
One day in your life
- Early Jackson that was a bigger hit here than in the UK. Good one to get in.
Heal the World
- Michael's one-man Band Aid.
Remember the time
- Not his finest hour but will appeal to some I reckon.
You are not alone
- Written for ***** by R Kelly but don't let that put you off. Still a popular one to have.
Thriller
- Possibly the best group dance routine ever. Let's see if he can do it all on stage again in the summer
