Behind the Mask wird ja thematisch im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes ausgeschlachtet. Hat was von einem Kostümball in Venedig. Macht neugierig

Zitat von TLC

das ist nicht das kino aus dem thriller video, oder?

Sperren die bei so einem Dreh einfach eine ganz normale Straße? Da müssen aber verdammt viele Schaulustige sein...

Sperren die bei so einem Dreh einfach eine ganz normale Straße? Da müssen aber verdammt viele Schaulustige sein...

'einfach' ist das eher nicht.
aber ja, da wird dann auch mal ne strasse, oder gar ein ganzer block abgesperrt, je nach dreh. wie bei filmen auch. ausser, man will, dass normale passanten durch das bild latschen
allerdings muss - in aller regel - so ne absperrung angemeldet und genehmigt werden, abgesichert von den behöreden und polizei.
wahllos mal ne strasse blockieren, geht vielleicht irgendwo im hinterland in afrika oder was...aber sonst dürfte das eher schwer werden.

Press Release: New Michael Jackson Singles Coming From The Global #1 Album "Michael"

Album Already Achieves Platinum Status in 17 Countries Worldwide

New York, NY – In the coming weeks, the Estate and Sony Music will be releasing "Hollywood Tonight" and "Behind the Mask" from the global hit album MICHAEL. "Behind The Mask" will be released as the radio single in countries including the United States, Canada, Japan and France. "Hollywood Tonight" will be the single released to radio in the rest of the world and videos for both songs will be released worldwide. Each Sony Music affiliate will also release more information on the plans in their respective territories.

Both "Behind The Mask" and "Hollywood Tonight" are fan and critical favorites from MICHAEL – the unique collection of Michael Jackson songs completed posthumously and released in December by Sony and his Estate. The album includes material Michael had been working on for future release prior to his passing along with other vintage work he planned to place on future albums. Joe Vogel, author of the upcoming book Man in the Music: The Creative Life and Work of Michael Jackson, wrote that while "Posthumous works are notoriously tricky…This, ultimately, is the most important quality of Michael: it feels like Michael."

"Behind the Mask," which was recently completed by John McClain and Jon Nettlesbey, is praised by critics for infusing the spirit of Michael's music from the past. Rolling Stone called it "a fiercely funky cousin to "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" The song is written by Michael Jackson, Chris Mosdell and Ryuichi Sakamoto and produced by Michael Jackson, John McClain and Jon Nettlesbey. The song's recognizable hook is a sample of "Behind The Mask" as performed by Ryuichi Sakamoto's Yellow Magic Orchestra. And "Hollywood Tonight", which USA TODAY said "pulsates with Billie Jean-esque energy, was written during the time of the Invincible album. In 2007, Michael pulled the track out of the archives to work on the song with producer Theron "Neff-U" Feemster. "Hollywood Tonight" was written by Michael Jackson and Brad Buxer and the track was produced by Teddy Riley, Michael Jackson with co-producer by Theron "Neff-U" Feemster. Ellen DeGeneres debuted and danced to the song with her audience during her popular talk show.

MICHAEL was the #1 global album upon its release in December and has shipped over 3 million units worldwide making it one of the biggest albums of 2010. The album's nonstop success continues to underscore Michael's importance to his fans as a global icon and superstar, and shows how his music continues to transcend cultures and languages. The platinum status for MICHAEL has now grown to 17 countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, France (2x), Italy (2x), Spain, Denmark, Poland, Russia(2x), Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic (5x), Canada, India (2x), China, Taiwan, Korea and the Middle East. Michael is now Gold in 18 countries including Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Portugal, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and Sweden.

MICHAEL marks another release under the new agreement between The Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music announced in March 2010 that continues the label's 35-year relationship with Michael and his music. During that time, Michael sold hundreds of millions of records, had 13 #1 singles and released the pop culture phenomenon "Thriller," which remains music's all-time bestselling album with more than 100 million copies sold worldwide.

Aber hallo...Ich könnte deswegen kotzen. Was haben die da für Designer/Gestalter am Werk? Das sieht doch echt nach Billigproduktion aus...Man könnte soviel aus den Covern rausholen, aber ne...

Die alten Cover waren alle Kusntwerke für sich, auch die der Singles.

Was soll diese Jam-Pose? Und die Farben??? Damn...

passt schon, HT finde ich trotzdem recht schön.
Haben aber einen ziemlichen fanmade Touch

da wäre mir ja ein bild von mj lieber gewesen, als er audigier besuchte...viele leute, partystimmung, und wenigstens nen halbwegs aktuelles pic von mike.

net immer den alten scheiss (sorry, aber auch eine noch so gute suppe, will man nicht jeden tag und jeden tag wieder essen ;))

da stimm ich voll zu
denn ich find es echt blöd das es seit ewigkeiten kein coer gab wo man Michaels gesicht sieht immer nur ein schatten oder gemalt wie bei "Michael" oder wie jetzt seine augen ...mein das sieht für mich immer so aus als würden sie meinen mit seinem gesicht lässt sich keine cd verkaufen oder so... wenn es von den letzen paar jahren gewesen wäre ...(bis auf this is it single cover)

ist zwar schade, doch eigentlich wumpe, wie das cover aussieht. solange der HIT schlägt, wäre ich zufrieden. Hollywood Tonight ist eine geile Nummer. Meinte nicht mal irgendwer, dass der Song aufgrund von Tarylls Stimmeneinlage auf keinen Fall eine Single werden kann? (da taryll öffentlich gegen das album protestierte?)...bin da wohl nicht mehr auf aktuellem stand, hehe.

Shes goin Hollywood, shes goin hollywood tonight shes goinollywoood...;D

OMG! Das ist mit Abstand das billigste und voraussehbarste Single-Cover von MJ aller Zeiten. Billiger ging's wirklich nicht...

MICHAEL JACKSON’S ULTIMATE MUSIC FAN GLOBAL MASH-UP
TO LAUNCH ONLINE MARCH 7

INNOVATIVE “BEHIND THE MASK” VIDEO PROJECT SEEKS CREATIVE INPUT FROM ACROSS THE WORLD TO SHAPE UNIQUE ARTISTIC VISION

New York, NY – In the spirit of Michael Jackson’s pioneering videos that pushed the creative boundaries in capturing the look, feel and emotions of music, the Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music will provide everyone who likes music an opportunity to help create online a unique groundbreaking music video for the single “Behind the Mask”. Using the web in a truly innovative way, people from around the world on March 7 will come together to create an imaginative piece of Michael Jackson history in The Behind the Mask Project.

Led by the creative team at Radical Media and director Dennis Liu, participants will visit the website http://behindthemask.michaeljackson.com which will be loaded with simple tools that define the different roles one can play in this landmark project. First, users select a move, a lyric, or a crowd reaction; performers can even demonstrate their own moonwalk, the anti-gravity lean or the toe stand. Then, using the site’s split-screen template, contributors can shoot their move right on the website with their web cam (or their video camera) and upload their clip at the precise time it occurs in the video.

After the worldwide community has come together and done their part, the director will select the top clips and weave them into this historical work of Michael Jackson video art. The final results of The Behind the Mask Project will be unveiled during the first week in April.

“Behind the Mask” is a critic and fan favorite from MICHAEL – the unique collection of songs featuring Michael’s performances completed posthumously and released in December by the Michael Jackson Estate and Sony Music. MICHAEL was the #1 global album upon its release in December and has shipped over 3 million units worldwide making it one of the biggest albums of 2010. The album’s success continues to underscore Michael’s importance as a global icon and superstar, transcending cultures and languages.

Sign up now at http://www.michaeljackson.com for updates on the project. Participate starting March 7, 2011 at http://behindthemask.michaeljackson.com.
