Tons of Unreleased Micheal Jackson Music On It's Way

I am super excited to hear this news. According to Sony Music CEO, Tommy Mottola, in the wake of his death, Michael Jackson has left the fans a special gift. Michael has recorded tons of unreleased songs that could last decades.

How awesome is that? Michael's career spans over four decades and with the news of unreleased music, it very well could be that some of this music may date back decades as well.

Mottola stated that for every twelve songs that Mike recored while he was with Sony, he also recorded another fifteen to twenty songs that went unreleased!!! That is amazing. This shows how serious Mike was to his music. Can you imagine what's in store and what is waiting in those Sony and Epic vaults?

I know that Michael and Tupac are on two different playing fields in this game, but we all know how we've been hearing a new Tupac song or album damn near every year since he's been dead and it's been over twelve years since his death. So imagine how long we'll be hearing new Michael Jackson tracks??? Crazy right?

I don't know about you guys, but I'm geeked about it all. This unreleased music could possibly hold some of Mikes best work ever. I can't wait! It remains to be seen if we'll actually get to hear every single song, but just a small taste of those songs would suffice for most of us!

Swizz Beats Dedicates His Artwork To MJ

The superproducer created a mixed-media portrait of a young Michael Jackson in memory of the late King of Pop, and posted it via Twitter. He then titled his work "Remember the Time," thanks to a suggestion from one of his Twitter followers.

"R.I.P. MJ the great," said Swizzy. "I took some time out to do a dedication piece tonight instead of rocking in the studio."

He also posted a few Kyte videos of him in the process. Check it out below:

Prince Michael and Katherine Play Dress Up

Now that Michael Jackson is gone, we're now getting more of a inside look into the lives of this 3 children. Here's a picture from OK magazine of Michael Joseph Jr aka Prince Michael and Paris Katherine when Prince Michael was 4 and Paris 3. The picture was taken at the Neverland Ranch as the kids played dress up. How cute are they? It's understandable that Michael didn't want them exposed to the media, which I don't blame him one bit... but they really are cute kids that I think we all would have loved to see them before all of this happened!

Which Michael Album Will You Purchase Now?

It goes without saying that Michael Jackson is the best entertainer past, present, and forever more.... and it's already been established many times over that the biggest-selling albums these past couple of weeks are Michael Jackson albums. The King of Pop is ruling the charts, as he did during his peak and as he well should. But, all those charts aside, we'd like to know what MJ albums will you be stocking up on? I have already had Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad and Dangerous. Me personally, Off the Wall and Thriller are my favs, and my favorite song of all time is of course P.Y.T. Have you been moved to dig way back into the CBS Records era when he and his brothers were called The Jacksons? Have you rediscovered some gems on the under-appreciated Invincible? Leave your comments on your favorite MJ album.

Pics From Inside Michael Jackson Memorial

Michael Jackson's memorial service was held today in Los Angeles at the Staples Center. Celebrities that were spotted in the crowd included John Singleton, Lisa Raye, Cicely Tyson, Jesse Jackson, Lil Kim, Chris Brown and Dionne Warwick

Notable moments of the day:
  • While Jennifer Hudson sang “Will You Be There”, several people in the audience audibly and visibly broke down and were virtually inconsolable.
  • From inside the Staples Center, you could really feel the deep and profound loss in the atmosphere.
  • The 20,000 audience members hung on to every word of Al Sharpton’s moving speech. Went to church on everybody in that piece…
  • The Jackson family was incredibly moved at Usher’s rendition of “Gone Too Soon”

Memorable quotes from the memorial:

“He is not just the King of Pop, he’s the biggest entertainer that ever lived.”-Berry Gordy
“Michael was a genius with unchallenged ability.”-Brooke Shields
“This is a moment I wished I didn’t live to see come.”-Stevie Wonder
“So much pain and ridicule. How much can 1 person take? Maybe now, they’ll leave you alone Michael.”-Marlon Jackson
“Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just wanted to say that I love him. So much.”-Paris Katherine Jackson

WE LOVE YOU AND WE WILL MISS YOU ALWAYS MICHAEL!!!

Michael Jackson Fans Committing Suicide

I am totally empathetic to all of the millions of fans that are feeling the loss of Michael Jackson. But... those those hardcore fans that feel that Mike is the end all be all of legends past, present, and to come, I'm not with you.

Don't get me wrong, I love Micheal just as much as the rest of the world does, but I'm not willing to end my life just because he no longer breathes the same air that I do. No SUH! Well... a dozen hardcore Michael Jackson fans have committed suicide following the news of the pop icon's death, says various media outlets.

Michael Jackson passed away late last week from cardiac arrest sending millions of fans all over the world into mourning. In deed Michael Jackson's death from cardiac arrest last week has moved fans all over the world into action, nearly shutting down the internet and sparking the creation of numerous tributes and memorials, thus proving yet again how Mike's presence whether tangible or fantasy, is all too powerful.

Humbling honors and tributes aside, some fans have been going too far and taking their own lives, says Gary Taylor, president and owner of an online Michael Jackson fan club.

"I know there has been an increase (in deaths), I now believe the figure is 12. It is a serious situation that these people are going through but Michael Jackson would never want this. He would want them to live," Taylor says. "They (fans) can't accept it; they feel in some sort of different reality. I'm stunned that he's dead. One minute he is coming here for concerts and the next he is gone. I think the funeral will be where the reality kicks in that he is gone and won't be coming back, there will be a huge depression in the fan community when that happens."

Cementing the seriousness of the situation, Jackson's longtime friend Rev. Jesse Jackson also spoke on the tragedy and urged fans not to "self-destruct."

"This is a time when hearts are heavy," Jackson said. "There is great pain but great cause to celebrate Michael's life. It made Michael happy saying We Are The World. Don't self-destruct. We fall down sometimes, we get back up. That's the right thing to do. In Michael's name let's live together as brothers and sisters and not die apart as fools."

Janet Arrives

Unfollow Fat Ass Perez Hilton!

Everyone was shocked Thursday (June 25) when news of Michael Jackson's heart attack was reported, followed by reports of his death. While some were sadden, others were outraged when blogger Perez Hilton posted an entry on his website, claiming Jackson's hospital admission was fake, so the King of Pop could bail on concert commitments.

However, upon learning the heart attack was very much real and that MJ had died hours later, Hilton edited his post, removing the insensitive comments.

But, the damage was done though. A trending topic appeared on Twitter called #unfollowperezz, where users unfollowed his account and expressed his distaste for his comments.

Rocker Pete Wentz blasted Hilton as well, and the two exchanged words numerous times throughout the day over the blogger's insensitivity.

Comedienne Sarah Silverman tweeted an ill-timed joke about MJ's death as well: "Did you hear Michael Jackson's kids are free? That's not nice. I'm sorry. Ugh, I feel bad for saying that. LOOK A BLUE CAR!"

Being the hypocrite he is, Hilton immediately chastised her: "I love you, but that's low!"

Michael Jackson Dies At Age 50! It's a SAD SAD DAY YA'LL!!!! I'M SERIOUS!

I don't even know what to say! I'm a Michael Jackson fan like everybody else. It has been reported today, first by TMZ and now CNN & Fox News have reported it, that the King of Pop, Michael Jackson has passed away at the age of 50 reportedly from a heart attack. He collapsed at his residence in the Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles, California, about noon Pacific time, suffering cardiac arrest, according to brother Randy Jackson. He died at UCLA Medical Center.

It was reported that It didn't hit me until just now. I'm actually crying right now. I didn't expect this to affect me, but how could it not? I grew up on this dude! 'Thriller' was watched in my household on a regular basis. MY GRAND DADDY even loved Michael!

I refuse to put up a pic of his current state. This is how I want to remember him.

WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!!
