I H T D - kommt es oder nicht, und wenn ja - wann?! [+ Umfrage]

Jetzt ist die erste Ankündigung des Katrina Songs schon genau einen Monat her, und viel hat sich bis jetzt noch nicht getan. Kann ja sein, dass Michael wirklich hart an dem Song arbeitet und der angestrebte Erscheinungstermin wirklich erst der 21. November ist, wie es auf dieser einen Internet - Verkausseite aufgeführt wurde. Eigentlich ist das jetzt auch egal, ob er in drei Wochen oder erst am 21. November rauskommt, hauptsache er kommt überhaupt noch ... Und die Leute dort in der Region können das Geld auch noch in zwei Monaten gebrauchen... hier mal ein kleiner Artikel zu den Schäden von Katrina:

"Katrina»-Schäden auf 34,4 Milliarden Dollar geschätzt

Jersey City (dpa) - Der Hurrikan «Katrina» dürfte die Versicherungen etwa 34,4 Milliarden Dollar (29 Mrd Euro) kosten und ist damit die mit Abstand teuerste Naturkatastrophe in der Geschichte der USA.

Am stärksten von «Katrina» betroffen sind nach Angaben der Versicherer die drei Bundesstaaten Louisiana, Mississippi und Alabama. Allein in Louisiana dürften sich die Versicherungsschäden demnach auf 22,6 Milliarden Dollar belaufen. Das erwartete Schadensausmaß für Mississippi liegt bei 9,8 Milliarden Dollar, für Alabama bei 1,3 Milliarden Dollar. ISO will die Schätzung in 60 Tagen aktualisieren. Für die Versicherungskosten aus dem Hurrikan «Rita» sollen ähnliche Daten gesammelt werden."

Geld ist also dringend nötig. Und besser macht es richtig mit dem Song, nimmt sich lieber noch zwei Wochen länger Zeit und macht eventuell ein Video, als wenn er es nur halbherzig macht, was er sicherlich nie machen würde. Wenn der Song dann rauskommt, wird die Öffentlichkeit das schon mitbekommen.

Jacko Coming Backo?

Jacko Seeks Deal With L.A. Reid, Bahrain Prince

When F. Scott Fitzgerald profoundly claimed that there were no second acts in the lives of Americans, he hadn’t encountered the information era. As it turns out, almost everyone has a second act, and many people have third, fourth, fifth ones, too!

That certainly can be said of Michael Jackson. On trial just a few months ago for child molestation and conspiracy, the acquitted singer was already then well into the drama that constitutes his life. The next act picks up in London, where Jackson is ensconced at the very expensive Dorchester Hotel. He’s there on the dime of the Crown Prince of Bahrain, who’s picking up the tab for everything.

Jackson and the Prince are not alone, however. They are joined right now by attorney Thomas Mesereau. Jr., who so brilliantly defended Jackson in his trial. Also there are fired-then-reinstated publicist Raymone Bain, as well as Jackson’s three “acquired†children and their nanny, Grace Rwamba.

But even more interesting are two more people new to the crowd: Atlanta music business attorney Joel Katz and Island/DefJam Records chairman Antonio L.A. Reid. Their project is simple. My sources say that Katz has come to represent the Prince in a deal that would fund a record label for Jackson at Island/DefJam’s parent, Universal Music Group.

Katz is not new to the Jackson picture. I’m told he represented Jackson’s brother Jermaine for many years in the mid-'80s. He’s listed on the credits for the Victory tour as Jermaine’s legal eagle. Coincidentally — that is, if you believe in coincidences — Katz represents Reid as well. (Jackson probably does not know this. Maybe someone at the Dorchester can show him this column.) It was Katz who negotiated Reid’s deal that made him head of Arista Records in 2000. He also got him out of that deal and made the current one at Universal.

What Jermaine gets at the end of the day is uncertain. For years Michael’s elder brother has floundered after a promising series of hits in the mid-'80s. In his memoir of life with Michael, Jackson’s former p.r. guy Bob Jones claims that Michael purposely sabotaged Jermaine’s career.

If the project comes together, and it should, the first order of business would be to record that charity single Jackson has been promising since Hurricane Katrina. Even though Stevie Wonder turned him down, Jackson has been campaigning among various stars for weeks. Katz, whose Rolodex is filled with star R&B and hip hop clients, would be a tremendous asset in lassoing contributors. First up would be James Brown, the man whose dance steps Jackson copied at an early age.

Next to be tapped, I’m told, might be Jay-Z and Beyonce, thanks to the Universal connection. Jay-Z, believe it or not, is president and chief exec of Def Jam. Beyonce is engaged to him. And so on. Universal is the number one music company right now, boasting everyone from Eminem and 50 Cent to Bon Jovi, Kanye West, and Mariah Carey. Under the right circumstances, UMG could cajole any of its stars to appear on Jackson’s single or even on a comeback album.

Universal wäre natürlich ein Hammer für Michaels weitere Karriere!!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ehre.gif' border='0' style="vertical-align:text-bottom" alt=':ehre' /> Das wäre was er braucht...über ein unabhängiges Label die Vertriebsmöglichkeiten von einem Giganten nutzen.

Und es dauert immer noch an..., wer weiss: vielleicht arbeitet Michael ja erstmal an dem tsunami Song und einem der bisher versprochenen Alben und will diese fertig stellen, bevor er sich an den Katrina Song macht ... lol ...

07/10/2005 01:55:16 More Rumours Over LA Reid Recording Deal
MICHAEL, JOEL, THE PRINCE & L.A.: Showbiz newshound Roger Friedman of FoxNews.com has sniffed out a secret pow-wow at London’s Dorchester Hotel that included Michael Jackson, his homie the Prince of Bahrain, Atlanta attorney Joel Katz and IDJ chief L.A. Reid. Writes Friedman: “My sources say that Katz has come to represent the Prince in a deal that would fund a record label for Jackson at Island Def Jam’s parent, Universal Music Group. Katz is not new to the Jackson picture. I’m told he represented Jackson’s brother Jermaine for many years in the mid-'80s... Coincidentally—that is, if you believe in coincidences—Katz represents Reid as well (Jackson probably does not know this. Maybe someone at the Dorchester can show him this column). It was Katz who negotiated Reid’s deal that made him head of Arista Records in 2000. He also got him out of that deal and made the current one at Universal.†(10/6a)

THE EMANCIPATION OF Jackson: The above is intriguing stuff, although it was actually Allen Grubman who made Reid's current deal at IDJ. Katz did indeed rep Reid when the latter was living in Atlanta running LaFace, and they remain good friends. It should also be noted that John Branca continues to function as Jackson's music biz attorney. The most intriguing part is this: If Jackson made a deal with IDJ and actually listened to Reid about the making of his next record, he could conceivably have hits again—look what this ace A&R man did for Mariah Carey and her prolonged slump. Reid gets the urban/pop world as well as anybody ever has, and this dialed-in dude could be the answer to Jackson’s career problems.

Endlich nimmt das Formen an. Ach Mann, wenn ich da sehe, wie er da jetzt belagert wurde - was bin ich froh, daß er offensichtlich gesundheitlich etwas besser drauf ist als nach dem Urteil... ich will mir garnicht ausmalen, was sonst alles passiert wäre.
