Michael Jackson Comeback Tracker: Super-Amazing Album in the Works, Says Source

9/18/07, 5:12 pm EST


Michael Jackson is plotting a very serious return to the music industry, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. “This is something Michael is carefully planning. I think the album is going to be amazing,” a source told the paper. “From what I’ve heard, it will be as big as Thriller — and yet will take his music in a new direction to appeal to new, younger fans — but will still have those Michael touches his traditional fans love.” The smooth-talking source who speaks suspiciously like a music publicist went on to claim that the new sure-to-be huge album may feature appearances by Janet Jackson as well as some of Michael’s brothers. “Can you imagine what a sensation it would be if Michael and Janet toured together?” the source teased. “That is something that’s being discussed.”

Meanwhile, the New York Post is reporting that Jackson is in the city shooting a cover spread for Italian Vogue. The reclusive pop star is apparently tucked away at a Midtown hotel with his entourage and sat for three hours while stylists groomed his mane for the alleged shoot. Oh, and Jackson has also reportedly finally found his dream home in Ireland. Reports claim that Jackson forked over €20million on the Irish estate that he rented for three months last year. Banking on a major financial windfall coming his way soon, perhaps? So far Jackson’s long-in-gestation major comeback has primarily featured hand-shaking appearances. Last year, MTV News reported that Jackson had expressed interest in working with 50 Cent and Kanye West on new material.

MJ is the KING OF POP~!

Oh, and I love the people that hate yet take time out of their so called lives to post.

Holla back~!

Michael Jackson's cousin | 12/19/2007, 11:00 pm EST

I can’t wait for his BIG comeback!!!! THE WORST TING IS i dont want him to live in Ireland. I will never get to meet him then.

I just recently found out he is my EX cousin in law since his marriage and divorse to LISA MARIE PRESLEY since she is my cousin too including her dad ELVIS.
any way I sent him a letter hoping for a reply soon. so if he moves to Ireland his fans in california and the USA will be devestated about it since the love they have for Michael Jackson.
I love you michael can’t wait for the album.
plus, my idea is right since Michael jackson came b4 britney spears then that means that britney will come b4 Michael for there big come backs. I was right so right, I luv you michael hope to hear from you soon. please, b4 you move let me meet you i would just die if i never met my own cousin!!!
-michael fan

You people will believe anything they tell you, like c’mon, obviously MJ isn’t a rapist, and he didn’t do anything to those kids. They just make up bullshit to make money. And you all support it, go read some more tabloids you losers!

MJ ROCKS! | 12/1/2007, 12:58 am EST

Michael Jackson is amazing! Greatest artist of all time, truly a living legend! His new album is going to be awesome! Can’t wait!

Anonymous | 11/27/2007, 3:54 pm EST

Adults only concert. Don’t bring
your kids!

Katy | 10/22/2007, 9:37 am EST

I cannot wait for his comeback- it has been long awaited and much deserved. All those haters who believe tabloids- what a sad little life you must lead- also, wanna know the truth, read “Michael Jackson conspiracy” and “The Music and the Madness”. Papers- they earn their money off stories that are negative!!! Sad, pathetic losers! They were gutted at the “not guilty” result cos they were set to make billions off his “conviction”… They never portrayed the goings on in court that reflected the accussers (including Jordy Chandler) as malicious money grabbing liars- why- cos that aint where the money is. Tabloids dont portray the truth- they portray whatever will make them money!! Sorry im ranting now- but i cannot wait for this musical genius to be back where he belongs after so long waiting for the rumours to cease!!!!!!!! Love you Mj

Luke | 10/11/2007, 9:37 pm EST

Anybody that disses MJ lacks intelligence. He is the god of music. The kid that accused Michael of touching him later come out and took the claim back, saying his parents made him lie. and thirty or so other kids said nothing sexual happened.

Musical Jenius | 10/10/2007, 11:45 pm EST

You people who pick on Michael Jackson are so pathetic.

ANDY | 9/25/2007, 3:45 am EST

MICHAEL JACKSON COMEBACK!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN THOUGH I CANT WAIT ANYMORE

xtreme gaby | 9/23/2007, 11:33 pm EST

well first of the man is graet and i love him to death and he don’t need anyone to hepl cuz he’s the best in the whole wide world>!!!

Dort | 9/23/2007, 5:33 pm EST

Oh, so Kanye West’s style is to recycle all his old songs so none of his new songs sound any different? Hmm, thats some original style right there. And as far as it being his specialty? Just about every fucking rapper samples and regurgitate they’re previous songs and other rappers songs. I’m not sure why Kanye would want that to be known as his “specialty” anyway, just makes him more unoriginal.

supersonic | 9/22/2007, 9:52 am EST

I guess I won’t ask for your number, Sarah. I can’t imagine what you’d say if you shot me down!

Every time Michael Jackson records an album an ANGEL GETS AIDS. Full blown AIDS.

Mike, an Irish American | 9/21/2007, 10:39 am EST

It really saddens me to think that the country of my origin, the place that I am so proud to have to lineage with, would be willing to overlook Michael Jackson’s sexual deviancy as well as his abuse and manipulation of children. I hoope you are in the minority, sir.

John Dublin | 9/21/2007, 4:25 am EST

I am from Ireland, and we cant wait to have this legend live here in Ireland where nobody bothers him, Along with Bono and enya, hell be right at home here and we cant wait.

James | 9/20/2007, 2:42 pm EST

I cant wait, he needs a new album to take focus off his personal life and back on his music, he can do this without kanye west or 50 cent, the music indestry has been absoloutly dire since michael stopped releasing albums

TIGER CUB | 9/20/2007, 2:32 pm EST

CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEW MJ ALBUM- TALENT ALSWAYS WINS- DARREN HAYES IS THE NEXT BEST TO MICHAEL AT THE MOMENT!

Collaborating | 9/20/2007, 6:21 am EST

Kanye: “Hey Michael, this alien looks just like a little boy.” Michael: “Tee-hee, you’re right, we better have sex with it, tee-hee.”

I think him and a fucking wood chipper would be a good collaboration. Pushing that scrawny bitch through would be music to my ears.

slick | 9/19/2007, 4:24 pm EST

i think he would make an interesting collaboration with kanye…dont care much for him n 50 though. i saw an ignorant ass comment up there about kanye needing to not use samples in his music or whatever…ITS HIS STYLE/SPECIALTY you assfuck.

with that said….i cant wait for this project to launch!

818state | 9/19/2007, 3:56 pm EST

He has an audience so no matter what he produces, it will generate revenue.

Apparentlly testimonies from drunk irish boys don’t hold up in court.

Sammy | 9/19/2007, 7:47 am EST

Isn’t it funny they used the words… Michael, touches, and younger fans… all in the same sentence. Coincidence? I think not. Hooooo hooooo!

Dort | 9/19/2007, 1:44 am EST

Me, like a lot of other people, used to love Michael Jackson during the “Thriller” and “Off The Wall” days, but I feel as though now MJ might be better off not making any more albums. I just feel as though there is so much drama surrounding MJ these days that any new music that he puts out is set in the background to all his legal issues and problems.

Now don’t get me wrong, he’s the king of pop, or was at one time, he can make another record if he wants. But when I hear that he wants to start working with Kanye and 50 Cent, it makes me cringe.

I used to love 50 and Kanye as well. Their first albums were amazing and classic. But when 50 starts making half his album fucking R&B songs, it makes me start to question his artistic integrity. As far as Kanye goes, i just wish he would make some songs without samples and talk about something other than clothes and money. I suppose the same could go for 50.

You just might become my new best friend!

Ahhhhhhhhh…….Mike’s moving to Ireland….. the real reason ?

god damn!!!

No more MJ | 9/18/2007, 8:18 pm EST

Can’t we just forget about that child molester? He’s had his time in the limelight and it’s time for him to disappear (for good) and to quit making music.

daniela | 9/18/2007, 5:47 pm EST

YES I’m so excited you guys finally started writing about his new album. I have been waiting a year for someone to say something about his new album but I’ve heard nothing. I hope he’ll do great! MJ rocks my world! haha
