To all of Michael's biggest fans

To all of Michael's biggest fans, first of all... thank you, thank you for supporting Michael and the TRUTH... It is more important than ever, now, in the face the Conrad Murray trial in early 2011 and all the mud-slinging the defense will create.

For anyone who has asked for a personalized copy of MJC -- please forgive me -- but I am on the road shooting my True Crime show, and have been overwhelmed to the point of tears, between travel, my writing, my family obligations, and the holidays. As it stands, I have just over 2 dozen books left.... and I package them by hand because I can't trust any helper to keep the shipping labels straight... so FYI ...I spend hours packing and labeling...

I actually DO notice the names of those of you who order MJC from me because I have a photographic memory ... so again... thank you for caring about having something that proves Michael was innocent... I myself have a hard time with people who STILL don't believe me when I explain that MJ was framed. People prefer to believe hateful things about him... yet his music brings everyone so much joy. It is confounding... that's for sure.

BTW, any book is always worth more without being personalized... just thought I'd mention that. AS for the hardcover version... I don't think that will ever be available again... so, hold on to what you've got, and stop trying to sell them for crazy amounts of money... please!

Because of my travel schedule, I will not be able to offer signed MJC books at any time after January 7, 2011. I hope you all understand. I just can't keep up the pace.. Because of that, MJC is now avail on Amazon in paperback for anyone who wants one... I think they sell it for $21.99...

ON another note: please know that I am in regular contact with MEZ, who keeps me updated on the family.... Though he never says too much... I know he sees them. Sometimes I hear about his Mom but I never anything about his children, who are having yet another Christmas without Michael.... We can only imagine how devastated they are... IN any case, I have promised MEZ confidentiality in all MJ matters that he relates to me... so I really can't say more.

I want to share something about the cover of the new album... Michael.... which I love...
Have any of you studied the painting on the cover? Of course, it chronicles Michael's life and even has hints about his early days (you'll notice a tiny Volkswagon bus) as well as reminders of his work in E.T. in 1982 (the spaceship). Also, one really great thing about this painting is that Prince, Paris and Prince II are represented with Michael multiple times.

What people might not know, however, is that the artist who painted this piece (Kadir Nelson) asked certain famous people to lend their images to him, but many withheld their copyright permission. This includes, in no specific order: Debbie Rowe, Elizabeth Taylor, Madonna. and Oprah Winfrey.
One last note about the album cover painting for MJ trivia fans: look inside the CD for the full painting in the centerfold... and somewhere, you will find a floating golden gavel... which is a REMINDER of Michael's courtroom victory in Santa Barbara County in 2005!

Finally, as we approach another New Year without MJ, please try to remember that Michael put his heart into everything... and he left us a legacy of posthumous songs that continue to remind us the he is still with us... and is still The KING.

Sending my love and wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

The Jackson Five Era

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 03:33:00 +0000

Starting today, we will go back in time to discover Michael Jackson's beginnings in The Jackson's Five Era From the regional hit Big Boy to their last label with Motown-Moving Violation.

Coming from The Chitlin' Circuit, Joseph signed his five aspiring young men to Steeltown Records-An Indiana-Based record label. But all they could muster in was a local hit - "Big Boy". But that in no way discouraged these five brothers.

Soon enough, their zeal brought them to the gates of Berry Gordy's million dollar crib-Who promptly signed them to his Motown label as The Jackson 5. But to get them going, Diana Ross agreed to help promote the next big thing off The Motown assembly line. By next Summer (1969) they moved to California and recorded their very first Motown record - Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5

Berry teamed up with "Gladys Knight" to form "The Cooperation"-A Motown executive production team. Together with Bobby Taylor, they would go on writing songs for this group until 1972.

By January 1970, they had a #1 hit! "I Want You Back". "ABC", "The Love You Save", and "I'll Be There" soon followed suit. Making this quintet the first to ever score four #1 hits in a row! Within another year, they moved into the Havenhust Mansion at the historic Enrico, California.

With the exception of "Mama's Pearl" and "Dancing Machine", The Jackson Five never managed to dominate the charts again. Mainly because Motown refused to let them create their own music. Forcing Joseph to once again window-shop for another label by 1974.

All In Your Name-Featuring Michael Jackson!

Recently, Berry Gibb who is a former member of The Beegee's has just released the complete version of "All In Your Name". Featuring duets with the King of Pop!

The song was originally recorded around 2003 as a protest against the war in Iraq. When someone within the administration was making deals behind President Bush's back(all for the money).

More studio footage has just been leaked onto the net.

Michael Jackson Dangerous

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 07:48:00 +0000

Starting on June 25th, 1990 Jackson worked for a purported 16 months tweaking and sculpturing another work of art-The Dangerous Sessions. Anticipation became so great, armed bandits came and extorted 30,000 copies before the records came to a store near you!

At this time, Michael parted with Legendary producer Quincy Jones and at his discretion hired executive producer Teddy Riley. Known for his pioneering tactics of synergisticly mixing R&B, Soul, Hip-Hop, and various Urban beats into one wholesome genre-Namely New Jack Swing. Michael wanted to beak free from West Lake Studio and experiment with new sounds. Bill Bottrell(who previously worked with Quincy on Mick's "Victory and Bad album sessions) was re-hired for the new project.

As of still, "Dangerous" is the best-selling New Jack Swing album of all time! And at one time the #2 overall right below Thriller and even surpassing "Bad"! He also generated 7 top 10 singles! Becoming the first to do so on the U.K. Charts.

At first, Michael didn't care much for rap. But, when Riley took him to a Hip-Hop club one evening, his perspective changed! And from then on Jackson would feature a Rapping segment on each album.

Say Hello To Sony

Jackson signed a deal in March, 1991 estimated to be worth $1,000,000,000! The contract would last for 6 albums. Little did he know Tony Mottola would halt all his marketing endeavors in the future.

His Appearance

Michael's skin tone turns from a light-skin frame mollado to a totally white complexion! Jackson must reveal his condition or else risk his image being thwarted! So the Gloved One seizes an opportunity to be a guest on the Opera Winfrey show. He specifically wanted to emphasis he loved his African American Descent and that Vitiligo(see Michael Jackson Skin Disease) is the reason for the lighter complexion(thereby debunking tabloids claiming Jacko's turned against his roots).

The Album

For a guy immersed with such talent and ingenuity, I did not think he needed to resort to the younger generation for sex & violence. Like grabbing his crotch on "Black or White" or the erotic twist with Naomi Campbell on the set of "In the Closet". Couple that with the over-dubbed watery vocals and Teddy's over-cranked industrialized bassline (someone remind him to turn it down a notch). I firmly believe his intense dancing and brilliant organic vocals would have been more then enough to appease the masses.

Nevertheless, it's tracks like Remember The Time, Black Or White, Heal The World, Gone Too Soon, and Will You Be There" which make this album worth a listen! "Jam" "Dangerous" and a few others are dance-floor savvy and relevant (to the early 90's). "Who Is It" is a bit too dragged and the demo to "Give Into Me" is way better then the official.

So in a nutshell, Dangerous to me is a small step down in quality from his last record Bad. But regardless, it has quite a few priceless gems tucked away!

Review on MJ's Immortal Album

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 07:12:00 +0000

Upon hearing of a Michael Jackson version of Cirque Du Soleil, I was exited to hear a remix album accompanying the blitz! After all, The Beatles Love album rocked! It was an excellent commentary into the Fab 4's creative juice! I wondered what what was in store for The Gloved One!

But after listening to Immortal Megamix (edit), I was initially disappointed. I thought "Can You Feel It" could've been done better. Plus the other two mashed tunes just didn't budge(with the exception of "Black or White"). I thought the album was gonna be a big let-down!

However, that all changed when I delved into the whole album! Although there were still a few areas that should've been mixed and mashed a more efficiently (especially the intro), I am fairly impressed by what I heard coming out of this soundtrack by Kevin Antunes. The deluxe edition will definitely bring you a unique experience into MJ's career!

My favorite parts are Remember The Time with the ticking of the clocks, the electrifying Heartbreak Hotel, The miming Segment of Another part of me with little hinds of "Stranger in Moscow" and possibly even "Hollywood Tonight",, and Is It Scary/Somebody's Watchin' Me/Threatened which flows right into Thriller! There are also other bits and pieces which I like. For instance, listening to Michael's input as he crafted his art.

But there were still some unnecessary bells and whistles, sound-effects that just didn't seem to fit in. I believe melody should of been a little higher on the priority list.

Yet that's just me. I'm sure you'll probably enjoy it for what it's worth. But trust me, "Immortal Megamix" will not give you the whole picture. As they say, "don't judge a book by it's cover". Or in this case, it's sample..
