    It's been well over a year since the King of Pop passed, but it looks as though we haven't heard the last of him. After last year's blockbuster album and film, This Is It, Michael Jackson's team began scouring the star's vaults for unheard and unreleased material. According to Rolling Stone, there will be a new album of Michael Jackson songs released this coming November, just in time for the holidays. Don't think it's solely from his later years either, as Jackson's manager Frank DiLeo quick to point out that there's a treasure trove of tunes from his creative peak in the '80s:



    An all-new Michael Jackson collection featuring 10 unreleased songs will be released this November, a rep for the Jackson estate exclusively tells Rolling Stone. At the time of his death Jackson reportedly left hard drives filled with unheard music, much of it recorded during the King of Pop's '80s peak.


    Of course, this is only the beginning of a posthumous release run that will certainly give 2Pac a run for his money:



    As Rolling Stone previously reported, the album of never-before-heard Jackson songs will be the first in a 10-project, seven-year deal the Jackson estate inked with Sony Music in March 2010 — a $250 million pact that will also include reissues of Jackson's classic albums, new greatest hits sets, a DVD collection of all Michael's music videos and possibly a Cirque du Soleil show.


    Though the contents of the actual album are unknown at this time, we'll have more on the tracklist, cover art, and more as it develops.

    Ne-Yo is torn over what to do with a treasure trove of music he wrote especially for Michael Jackson before the megastar's untimely death.


    The R&B singer is sitting on dozens of songs he penned for Jackson as the late king of pop was preparing to kickstart his career for the final time.


    Ne-Yo is one of America's most bankable songwriters, backing up smash singles for Beyonce and Rihanna with a trail of his own dollar stacking hits.


    But the star steadfastly refuses to sell off the music he wrote for Jackson and is reluctant to release the songs under his own name out of respect for his idol.


    "The songs are sitting in archives but I really don't know what to do with them," Ne-Yo said in Sydney.


    "I can't sell them on to someone else as that would be disrespectful but I also think it might be disrespectful to bring them out myself.


    "So I don't know, I'll sit on them and wait. It's definitely quality music but they were songs written absolutely for Michael Jackson."

    His brief relationship with Jackson developed in 2008 when Ne-Yo was contacted by Black Eyed Peas producer will.i.am to work on what would have been a comeback album.


    The 30-year-old singer was handpicked by Jackson after the success of his smash hits So Sick and Sexy love.


    Despite all the controversy surrounding his life, Ne-Yo found the world's most famous performer to be businesslike and friendly.


    "He was normal, as odd as that may sound," Ne-Yo explained.


    "I felt quite bad as I'd allowed what the media had done to his name and image to have me thinking, 'Ok what's this about to be? Is this going to be weird?'


    "But he walked in in a black suit and some sun glasses and was a genuine nice guy. And it wasn't because he wanted something from me, he just had no reason other than to be a decent guy.


    "We talked about the state of music, what he liked and didn't like. One thing that was interesting is that he views music in shapes and colours and that's how I think.


    "He told me he admired my music and I could have fainted right there. I was like, `You like my music? You're the reason I make music'.


    "So I wanted to bring something good to the table."


    Ne-Yo set to work on a variety of songs ranging from upbeat dance tracks to heartfelt ballads, sending three or four drafts a week to Jackson.


    "Melodic and meaningful. Those were the two words which kept coming back to me," he said.


    "Michael told me the melodies needed to be the ones you heard once and could sing back, and the lyrics needed to have meaning and depth."


    "He believed what was wrong with a lot of music today is that people aren't singing about anything.


    "If it's not about a party or sex then it's about money, and there's not really much to that.


    "Michael told me, 'I need songs that mean something to somebody and that's what I need you for'. I was honoured."


    Despite writing a number of tracks for Jackson, the album project was put on hold while the singer shifted his attention towards his This Is It world tour, which was scheduled to begin in London in the summer in 2009.


    Weeks before the opening concert Jackson died at his Los Angeles home following a lethal injection of prescription drugs.


    Ne-Yo later paid tribute to Jackson by performing his song Lady In My Life at the 2009 BET Awards.


    He hopes one day to be able to pay his respects with the songs he wrote for the great entertainer.


    "Hopefully the songs will see the light of day, it just has to be the right way."


    Ne-Yo is in Australia on the Winterbeatz festival tour.

    Hey Leute....ich hab da ein Thema was mich schon länger beschäftigt...und das is Michaels finanzielle Lage....ich weiß das kann niemand so genau sagen da ja niemand die Einsicht in seine Konten hat


    aber trotzdem könnt ihr mir vllt weiterhelfen...warum hat Michael Schulden bekommen? ich meine MJ hat wie kein anderer Künstler Kohle geschäffelt?


    lag es daran das er zuviel ausgab und zuviel spendete? ich hab letztens gelesen das wenn man in Musikrechte wie z.B. den Bealtes-Katalog investiert es Probleme mit Cashflow gibt oder war Michael einfach nur schlecht beraten?


    Was meint ihr eigtl. was MJ in seinem ganzen Leben ungefähr verdient hat wenn man alles summiert


    Schon mal danke im Voraus

    Ein lustiger Versprecher =)


    aber das Lustigste is das er es nich merkt was er grad gesagt hat ;D

    Ein Michael Jackson Videospiel.....is schon cool


    aber ich hätt mir dennoch was anderes vorgestellt unter "Exiting News"


    Los Angeles – June 14, 2010 – Today, Ubisoft® announced the development of an interactive performance-based video game, inspired by the legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson. The game is family entertainment at its best and will provide an interactive experience that enables players to step into the shoes of Michael Jackson himself and re-live his most iconic performances through their own singing and dancing. The upcoming game will include the most famous tracks from Michael Jackson's extensive catalogue such as Beat It and Billie Jean, as well as an array of his awe-inspiring dance moves for players to learn and emulate within the game. Additionally, fans will be able to sing along and test their vocal skills while immersed in the performance.
    Michael Jackson, one of the most widely beloved entertainers and the most popular global icons of all time, leaves an indelible imprint on popular music and culture. During his extraordinary career Jackson sold an estimated 750 million records worldwide, released 13 No.1 singles and became one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He won 13 Grammy Awards and received the American Music Award's Artist of the Century Award. His album "Thriller" is the world's best-selling album of all time with more than 110 million copies sold.
    "Michael always pushed every limit when it came to technology to give his fans unforgettable entertainment experiences, whether it involved his videos, his recordings or his concerts. Now, with this interactive product, we have the chance to bring Michael, the artist, into households around the world in a perfect match of Michael's artistry and the family entertainment which he always highly valued. Kids, their parents, extended family members and friends will now have an opportunity to all come together and experience Michael's music and dance in an innovative, exciting and fun way," said John Branca, co-executor for The Estate of Michael Jackson.
    Added Michael Jackson Estate Co-Executor John McClain: "No artist can energize a dance floor in the spirit of fun like Michael Jackson. His God-given gifts for music and dance are something new generations of fans will appreciate even more. This game is a natural extension of what he would be doing today to raise his artistry to even greater heights for his fans of all generations. It is a game that the entire family can experience and enjoy together and this is something that would please Michael tremendously."
    "We're delighted to have the opportunity to develop a game based on the songs and moves of one of the world's most incredible performers of all time," said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft. "We expect the game to bring Michael Jackson fans, families and friends together with the energetic song and dance of The King of Pop."

    Also ich liebe Family Guy....natürlich nich so sehr wie MJ


    aber man muss sagen das Family Guy wirklich alles und jeden aufs Korn nimmt


    sie nehmen sich sogar selber auf den Arm.....denn die meisten Gagschreiber der Serie sind jüdisch und in der Serie gibt es wirklich sehr viele Judenverarschungen


    Natürlich is es geschmmacklos wenn über Michael Witze gemacht werden in Verbindung mit Kindern (kam öfters bei Family Guy vor)


    Aber ich muss auch sagen das Family Guy Michael Jackson auch in Schutz genommen hat


    in der Folge "Stewie loves Lois" fällt Stewie von der Treppe und will dann darauhin seine Mutter anzeigen und meint er macht es wie damals bei Michael Jackson.....dann kommt so eine Rückblende wie er vor Gericht erst Witze macht und dann absichtlich lügt


    oder in der Folge "Stewies wundersame Wandlung" verprügelt Stewie einen Schauspieler der einen Witz über Michael gemacht hat und meint das der Witz nich lustig war


    naja ich fand den ausschnitt von Michael aus Family guy mit dem baseballschläger nich schlimm...wer sich da aufregt is selber schuld
