    MICHAEL JACKSON JACKED?


    On another note, rocker Chris Cornell, now in the band Audioslave along with guitarist Slash, will reportedly cover Jackson's hit "Billie Jean" on his new solo album.


    Oh that pisses me off. I've always wanted Michael to re-record Billie Jean with Slash, and give it the feel of the Dangerous or History album. So much potential there. Think the solo of 1995 mtv video awards, and the ab libs of the History and Dangerous tours.

    Brother wants Michael Jackson to be a Muslim
    Jermaine says Islam would be ‘a great protection for him’


    LONDON - Jermaine Jackson said on Monday he wants his brother Michael to convert to Islam; and he believes the reclusive superstar has given it serious thought.


    “Michael, I feel, needs to become a Muslim because I think it’s a great protection for him from all the things that he’s been attacked with, which are false,” said the former Jackson Five singer who now lives in Bahrain.


    “There’s a strength and protection there,” Jackson told BBC Asian Newtwork after finishing runner-up to Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty in the “Celebrity Big Brother” TV reality show that was marred by accusations of racist bullying.
    Jackson said he believed his brother had given conversion “serious thought” during long spells in Bahrain.


    “I was the reason why he had gone there because I wanted him to get out of America and just go somewhere it’s peaceful and quiet and people pray five times a day which is beautiful.”


    Michael Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges in June 2005.


    He has said he plans to move to Europe in a bid to resurrect his musical career as the “King of Pop” and has indicated he will release a new album in 2007.


    Jermaine Jackson said his faith helped keep him sane in the enclosed confines of the British reality TV programme where the contestants are kept cooped up under 24-hour surveillance.


    “If I didn’t have Allah and my prayer rug, I would not have survived and the reason why is because it kept me focused, it kept me calm,” he said.

    I'm aiming to make a billie jean performance mix to dance to.


    The following videos would be helpful.


    Billie Jean live Auckalnd 1996
    Billie Jean live manilla history tour
    billie jean munich history tour
    billie jean gothenburg 97


    Does anybody know which performance has the best sound quality during his beat boxing at the end of it? If so can you upload that one too.



    And one from the dangrous tour where at the end he goes You got to know you ain't, you got to know you aint. You never try so hard. You never sing like that.


    One where he does it real good preferrable.


    Does anybody know any where I can download something free that I can use to convert video files to mp3?

    cool thanks.


    I have the free version of exp studio editor, which can be downloaded it at this link for free. With this program you can mix paste layers of sound on top of each other too.

    And I have the free version of AV music morpher which can be downloaded here for free.
    It's the one at the bottom.

    I've been experimenting but I just can't get the chorus on Who Is It to sound like it does in the song. It always comes out sounding either computerized or like he's singing in a trash can or something.

    when your using an acapella, how do you get it to sound like a chorus? How could you take the billie jean acapella and make it sound the way the chorus does on the song? or for Who Is It? How can you make it sound like a chorus? In the song the chorus sounds a lot more like a softer more feminine voice, but on the acapella it doesn't sound like that at all.


    And I don't just mean hitting the chorus, and morph button because it doesn't sound at all like a chorus.



    Wenn Ihr Gebrauch ein acapella, wie Sie es erhalten, wie ein Chor zu ertönen? Wie könnten Sie das billie Jean acapella nehmen und könnten es der Weg machen ertönt, den der Chor auf dem Lied macht? oder, für Den Es Ist? Wie können Sie machen, der es ertönt, wie ein Chor? Im Lied die Chöreklänge viel mehr wie eine weichere weiblichere Stimme, aber auf dem acapella es ertönt wie das überhaupt nicht.


    Und ich bedeute Schlagen der Chor, und morph Knopf nicht nur, weil es überhaupt nicht ertönt, wie ein Chor.

    Beat it is a big favorite of mine. I actually don't know what Smooth Criminal's budget was, it just looks like for today's time it was probably your average budget. I could be wrong though. I actually picked it because it's my all time favorite video.

    It's hard to say. I doubt MIchael will make much of a comeback. I think it will sell less than Invincible.


    If the album is really good and is released smoothly and has at least two dance videos and two non dance videos and it's promoted with some type of concert and there isn't anymore incidents like the baby dangling, I think it will sell 20 million worldwide.


    However I have a strong suspicion that behind the scenes nothing is going right. He's got a lot on his mind with lawsuits which would be distracting him from the creative process. Somebody rescently called him the world's richest homeless person, and I think they might be correct. It seems like he's just spending the night at other people's places untill they kick him out. The album probably doesn't have much of a budget. And judging by the way things have been going lately it just looks bad. I mean Invincible was delayed again and again. Then the What more Can I give studio single got scrapped. The 2000 Watts video got scrapped. The hurricane katrina single was never even released. And it seems like for this album MIchael goes from working with this guy to working with that guy to working with that guy.


    Some of this is Michael's fault and some of it isn't, but things are definitely disorganized in Michael's life, and I suspect this album will be delayed, and delayed, and delayed, and delayed, and in the end, it either wont be released, or it wont be that good.


    I hope I'm wrong.



    I don't think it's his genius alone. It's definitely not. But he usually either coreographs himself or he co choreographs. He tells the editors and camera men I want this angle right at this note. He's basically a co-director.


    Heres basically what I mean. The people who worked with michael jackson have worked with Mariah Carey, Eminem, Snoop Dog, Brittney Spears, BackStreet Boys, NSync, and countless others. I know they have becuase these people make appearances on tv here and there and talk about who they've worked with. And their videos have big budgets too. Britney Spears Hit me Baby one More time costed just as much to make as You Rock my World. Ever since 1990 all music videos have been big budget, but they still seem worthless to watch.


    No I don't think Thriller would have been the same with Quincy Jones. I think his entire career would have taken a different path. His style of music would have taken a different path and everything. So I'm really glad for that. Even though I like Off the Wall, I'm glad he didn't stick with that style. No Quincy? For all we know Michael could have been singing "It ain't nothing but a G-Thing Baby"

    Exactly. Medication can be outrageously expensive. Especially in the US where the state doesn't subsidise medication the way it does here.
    If you ever knew someone who's suffered from cancer or vitiligo for example or lupus, you know what I'm talking about.
    130-150 Dollars a day in those cases is nothing.


    That's not true. It'd be maybe 20 dollars a day. You could go completely numb all over your body for a whole day straight for less than 20 dollars a day. If a person needed 150 dollars worth of drugs a day they wouldn't be walking the streets. They would probably be in intensive care. You'd really have to be very wealthy to have that kind of money to spend on prescrtiption drugs.


    During the trial there were unconfirmed rumours that Michael was prescribed drugs to help him cope with the stress of the trial. The stress was runing his back, and he lost a lot of weight. Chances are he probably was prescribed medication just to avoid further health problems, and since he previously had morphine addiction problems, he was especially vulnerable to getting rehooked. It's very easy if you've been hooked before, and the trial surely set in a lot of depression.
