    September 10th, 2008: Michael Jackson: The Next Step



    As the 2008 - 2009 season is about to begin, let's have a good start and try to analyse all the latest rumours and also give a glimpse to Michael Jackson's projects.




    Sony BMG USA and France have plans to promote Thriller the 25th Anniversary Edition - 2nd and final round. The idea is to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Short Film - Thriller. Sony BMG USA will not release any MJ 50 CD as this project was initiated by the international branch of the company. The Essential MJ 3.0 and the new Expanded Editions of the Jacksons' classic albums Destiny and Triumph will be released by Sony USA. The Lady In My Life Full Version episode got many fans' hearts throbbing: Legacy recordings issued a to-good-to-be-true press release stating the track would be included on the 3rd CD of The Essential MJ 3.0. It just took one day or two to Sony BMG USA to confirm that the former tracklist - without The Lady In My Life - was the actual and final one. This rare track remains a rare gem, only available on a rare 2 CD promo set issued by Chrysalis Music in 2002: The Songs Of Rod Temperton. Disappointed as fans can be, they sure need some explanation: when such project is cancelled, it's always hard to say who is "to blame". Clearing such material is not as easy as one might think. And to answer one question that is often avidly discussed on MJ boards: Michael Jackson wishes to release some of his solo concerts on DVD, but he doesn't want Sony BMG to get that goldmine deal. Needless to say, it is a shame that such amazing live performances remain in the vault. But being a Michael Jackson's fan has something to do with patience so... Getting long sought after content is like a puzzle: you can't do anything else but assemble it, piece by piece.

    Official
    Thus, with only 1 Live DVD in his 40-year spanning career, Michael Jackson has been exposed to an ever growing bootleg market (DVD's of live performances and more, CD's, items of all kinds... you name it).
    But the good news is that a UK based team of lawyers, Eversheds, has been instructed to list and track all illegal products bearing Michael Jackson's likeness.


    Such drastic procedure had already been used in the 80's and the early 90's. Back then the official market was strong and under control, filled with officially licensed products - globalwise. There were so many official items that the illegal paraphernalia was a mere minority.

    Over the last 10 years, the situation has changed. The coming of age of the internet and homemade / fan-made products such as CD's and DVD's inspired legions of people who understood how lucrative this market can be. Same thing with unofficial Lo-Fi T-Shirts, posters and calendars. All in all, Michael Jackson may be one of the most bootlegged artists on the planet. But all the forthcoming projects and strategies will help rejuvenate Michael Jackson's empire as far as merchandise and positive public exposure go. Next step: fans will soon discover Thriller 25: the Book. This new and officially licensed volume of Michael Jackson's bibliography has turned from an elaborate Photobook-like project to a 140 plus pages book. It will be published in English and available at all major book sellers / retailers: Amazon (worldwide), Alapage (France) etc... (German and French versions have been considered, but will not be developed until further notice).


    1 000 copies of Thriller 25: the book will also be sold in Brazil along with the MJ50 CD: the Brazilian Collection.
    But that's not all: to accompany the release of this book, a range of official MJ products (more than 20) will soon be available: new posters, along with canvas, badges etc... European fans will also be able to get their hands on a collection of T-Shirts celebrating 25 years of Thriller and 50 years of Michael Jackson. A Thriller costume and a special Thriller 25 - 2009 Official Calendar with English, German and French texts will also see the light of day (Worldwide).


    Nouveau départ
    Michael Jackson has been trying to find the right way to release high quality official products for the last 10 years. Today, thanks to a new team and the restructuration of some of his ventures, his vision has become a reality. He wanted to see stores filled with Michael Jackson products. Think Elvis, think The Beatles as well: it may actually be bigger: famous French journalist Frederic Taddei said that two outsdanding geniuses have been able to capture the whole world's attention, planetwise: Charlie Chaplin & Walt Disney: when you think of their work and legacy, "Universal" immediately comes to mind: they were able to touch everybody - Young or old, man or woman, black or white... Michael Jackson can easily be added to that list. As an artist and smart businessman when it comes to promote his image, he wants to enhance his Legacy and maintain his status and "grandeur" as the King of Pop.


    Constant public exposure is one of the tools he will be using to achieve that. More than ever, Jackson is taking care of his own business: MJJ Productions is still active and has never been shut down. Even though the company has no physical offices, it's still run by long-time partner Evelyn Tavasci. Raymone Bain's project, the MJ Company, will not happen has she doesn’t represent Michael Jackson anymore.).

    Audigier
    It has also been said and reported that Christian Audigier has been in talks with Michael Jackson to design a range of exclusive Jackson / Audigier items (T-Shirts, caps etc...). Audigier tried to reach Jackson's lawyer, Peter Lopez. The French "couturier" has been desperate in trying to get to Michael. He has no signed contract and his projects are to remain on the paper. Audigier also damaged his reputation among MJ fans a few days ago: as he was filmed during his 50th birthday bash, his mockery of Michael Jackson was a serious blow to his fragile reputation as a potential new Michael Jackson's business partner. He may have paid for a rare public appearance by the superstar, but that will be it.


    Akon, movies, and what's next...
    As years go by, Michael Jackson's projects come and go: fans have been hearing countless of rumours: new album, new duet, new tour, news look, new house... Well, as for today, Michael Jackson’s main wish is to make films. He's been talking about that for many years (it actually all started after The Wiz, in 1978 !). He also clearly mentioned it in the 2007 Ebony interview. He also added he didn't want to tour anymore. Hopefully, he will combine music and film in a unique way. Sinatra and other greats succeeded in running successful careers on several fronts. All Michael Jackson needs is a great opportunity and a project that catches his attention.

    As his music and back catalog are still (over?) exposed (he okays most new projects and ideas Sony BMG brings on the table), Michael Jackson's evolution as a man and an artist is still captivating audiences: everybody wants to know what's next. 2008 has been all about Thriller 25: celebrating the world's biggest selling album for all time.


    The viral communication and the global promotional campaign for this project have been superb. With more than 2 million copies sold worldwide, the revised version of Jackson's classic is a success. Last month, Akon announced that the Hold My Hand track would appear on his new album, Acquitted, to be released this October. Hold My Hand is Michael's first incursion into [radio friendly] Reggae since Joe Carrasco's 1982 Don't Let A Woman Make A Fool Out Of You (Michael sings background vocals on that rare song). Akon teaming up with Jackson may be a hint of what 2009 will be made of. Michael Jackson is an artist. He has been recording music and working on various ideas and projects for years. Be it on wax, screen, online or anywhere else, be assured that all those projects are concrete baby steps announcing the much anticipated return of Michael Jackson - the King of Pop.
