vllt performt mike bei den grammys ja einen thriller medley
Erinnern wir uns an 2004. Da wurde das 20. Jubiläum von "Purple Rain" groß bei den Grammys gefeiert. Prince hat nen super Auftritt zusammen mit Beyonce hingelegt.
Nun, in 2008 werden die Grammys zum 50. mal verliehen. Das sind gleich zwei Jubiläen: 50 Jahre Grammys + 25 Jahre Thriller. Wäre echt perfekt, wenn Michael dort auftreten würde. Noch besser als Beat It und Co fänd ich aber nen neuen Song.
das wäre natürlich der ober knaller ! ...aber ich glaub das wär einfach zu schön ... 
moment die grammys finden doch am freitag statt oder nicht ? wenn er sowas vor hat dann jetzt denn nächstes jahr sollte er was neues bringen
also "massig artikel" sind mir net begegnet bislang.
ganz wenig und kurz erwähnt in den berichten wo es ums vogue shooting oder ebony shooting ging.
im fernsehen wird mehr über seine pleiten und sein aussehen hergezogen.
da kommen ein oder 2 sätze zum jubiläum garnet im hirn des verbrauchers an.
und da es bisher noch net mal nen sicheres release datum gibt - draussen ja net mal ein ungenaues - sehe ich net, wie das die leute zur kenntnis nehmen sollten. wenn man net alle boulevard sendungen anschaut oder gezielt in zeitungen/zeitschriften nach solchen meldungen sucht, entgeht einem das jedenfalls.
es gibt schliesslich leute, die auch noch nen normales leben haben, mit alltags stress und alltagssorgen...da bekommt man net jeden satz mit, der mal so fast nebenbei fällt.
Hö? Hier wurden doch zahlreihe Artikel gepostet, die sich nur ums Jubiläum drehten...wo Michael ordentlich abgfeiert wurde...und selbst in den genannten Boulevard-Artikeln wurde das Projekt erwähnt. Also passt schon..;)
Hmm, also so ein Auftritt bei den Grammys hätte schon was. Würde wirklich auch vom Zeitpunkt perfekt passen...
Vielleicht wurde deshalb das Releasedate nach hinten verschoben?

hellau,
gute musik hat in meinen augen mit chartplazierung nix zu tun..
THE LAST ACTION HIPPIE
...genauso isses Man braucht sich ja nur mal die Charts anzuhören, da fragen wir uns manchmal, wie man mit so einem Sch***auch noch Geld machen kann, fast alles hört sich gleich an, immer derselbe Stampf und nur noch "joa, joa, ja, ja"...das hat doch mit Musik teilweise gar nix mehr zu tun 
Auch wenn mich jetzt der/die ein oder andere steinigen wird aber ich finde, noch nie war der Geschmack des Konsumenten musikmässig so anspruchslos wie in der heutigen Zeit, traurig...:sad und genau aus diesem Grunde hab ich a bisserl Angst wenn Michael sein neues Album rausbringt 
und genau deswegen werden sich die musikansprüche ändern wenn michaels album erst mal draußen ist.^^

'Thriller,' the Michael Jackson album that remixed pop culture, turns 25
Thursday, November 29th 2007, 4:00 AM
Eons have passed since anyone paid attention to Michael Jackson for a happy reason. But this week, the endless parade of high scandals and low antics deserves to be overshadowed by the anniversary of a key moment in pop history that he made happen.
Twenty-five years ago - on Saturday, Dec. 1, 1982 - Jackson delivered "Thriller," a terse nine-song set that threw so huge a boulder into the pop pool that it ripples to this day. It wasn't just the music: "Thriller's" related products and performances affected video, dance and fashion on levels that had to do with everything from esthetics to race.
To commemorate such a startling divide, The News has learned, Jackson's former record company, Sony, plans to issue a commemorative package of the classic work on Feb. 5. The set will combine "Thriller's" original songs with four remixes of its hits, overseen by Kanye West, will.i.am and Akon. An additional track, titled "For All Time" - cut back in the day but left out of the initial set - will be included, along with a DVD that collects the star's most iconic video footage from the era.
At the same time comes word from Jermaine Jackson of a full Jackson 5 reunion tour for 2008, their first road show since they came together to catch the tail end of "Thriller" mania in 1984.
As with all works that jump-start history, it's hard to remember what things were like before "Thriller" came barreling along. Jackson's album carved out a sound, courtesy of producer Quincy Jones, that virtually defined '80s style and production. Such songs as "Beat It" and "Billie Jean" housed rhythms and textures like none before. And the songs begat videos that greatly elaborated that emerging art form.
It may sound like nothing at this point, but the mere use of the real sound of a garage door opening at the start of the "Beat It" clip startled back then. When fans first caught sight of that clip, it hit with the creative bang of "The Birth of a Nation." Nothing in the medium was the same thereafter.
Likewise, Jackson's fancy moves changed the role of dance in pop, pushing it decisively to center stage. Jackson's moonwalk took that achievement to the ultimate level. As seen on the TV special "Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever" in 1983, the moonwalk became one of the transcendent moments in pop history, approaching the Beatles' appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show." All pop fans remember where they were at the precise moment Jackson went up on his toes and moved backward with a glide that seemed to defy gravity, time and space.
Jackson's long and steady ascendancy with "Thriller" - as the album kept building sales over the course of two years - also helped advance Motown's old notion of an African-American performer as a mainstream pop star, rather than one ghettoized in R&B or soul. It's not going too far to say that Jackson's paramount place in pop at the time presaged the broader racial change in music that would occur in the '90s. When hip-hop and R&B artists came to power in that decade, African-American performers achieved a new level of corporate power and personal confidence, blueprinted by Jackson.
In that vein, the story of "Thriller" has as much to do with hard numbers as anything else: It won seven Grammys, went platinum 27 times and spent 37 weeks at No. 1 on the charts. But other albums have racked up gigantic sales without having such an effect on the culture. (See: goofy flukes like "Frampton Comes Alive" or, worse, Vanilla Ice's "To the Extreme").
And while other important and huge-selling albums changed youth culture - like, say Nirvana's "Nevermind" - "Thriller" affected people older and younger than that, giving it far broader reach.
"Thriller" gains even more power, and poignancy, when you realize what a fleeting time it represented in Jackson's career. However far out front he was in his time, he all too quickly lost his creative footing, even if it took well over a decade for the public to fully accept it. Jackson's next release after "Thriller" - 1987's "Bad" - already saw him retreading formulas with a depressing cynicism that would only get worse from there.
Yet in that wondrous sliver of time between '82 and '84, Jackson lived up to the name his handlers had concocted for him - the King of Pop.
That role holds even more significance when viewed from 25 years later, at a very different time in pop culture. In the Internet age - where everyone lives in a personal bubble of babbling chat rooms and cultish Web sites - the very notion of a pop star as pervasive as Jackson seems as quaint as the Model T. And that's a loss worth mourning.
Back when we had more centralized media, Jackson's' "Thriller" was able to provide a great and easy touchstone, a connection that bridged ages, races, cultures and sensibilities. It won't happen again, but not because we won't see a talent of Jackson's stature in the future - we most certainly will. It's just that our ever-fracturing pop world no longer allows for the focus and consensus that would anoint such a character to begin with. With the death of all that, there's even more reason to take a spare moment to salute the power and meaning of it now.
