I was at his concert, Sacred World Tour at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil a couple of years ago. He was AWESOME. He sang all his tunes as well as tunes from The Police. You think he has a great voice, he’s even better singing LIVE!
He’s coming back to Malaysia, on the 7th December, [...]
A middle-aged man donning pajamas in a wheelchair, looking haggard and fallible. His skin seems to be flaking beneath a surgical mask, covering the bottom half of his face. A pair of large sunglasses shields his resigned eyes. Welcome to the very sad world of MJ. Like most of us, I can’t help but to [...]

There are 3 songs with the same title, one way back in 1935, the other, a 1973 hit by Charlie Rich, and this Prince’s tune. The year was 1995, and it was his first album since he changed his named to The Symbol, and then to The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, and then to [...]

I’ve no idea how this Turkish dude managed to get MJ to sing on the track. It’s not too bad of a song, it makes a good dance tune. I’m not sure if this would be on MJ’s next album, but I think, instead of releasing an album, MJ should do more collaborations with current [...]

Ladies and gentleman, we have a winning combination right here! After Akon’s excellent rendition of MJ’s Wanna Be Startin Somethin earlier in the year, both of them went back to the studio to record this track. It’s classic Michael Jackson, and it’s catchy. You can actually imagine the music video - a choir singing and [...]

Nice touch to get Fergie on board with the 2008 version. However, the middle section just before the guitar solo, the mix was rather weak. Just like Kanye West’s reproduction, Billie Jean, who for the love of GOD, left out THE most crucial part of Billie Jean, the bass! Kanye still thinks he’s the greatest [...]

I checked out the album, mainly for the collaborations on MJ’s legendary tunes. Fergie, Kanye West, Will.I.Am and Akon are all featured in a handful of updated MJ tunes. THRILLER, till date, is the BIGGEST selling album of all time. This was Michael Jackson at his best. No one else came close to his legendary [...]

It was the most expensive music video of its time. A horror spoof film with choreographed zombies with THAT dance. The climatic scene where MJ dances with the zombies - will be etched in our minds for eternity. Many may take a swipe at him for all his idiosyncrasies, but very few would disagree that [...]
