MJ tribute album.



A hoard of stars including Madonna and Beyonce have been rumoured to appear on a tribute album for Michael Jackson.
The album, which is set to feature the likes of Whitney Houston, Usher, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross and Lionel Richie will see the artists perform many of Michael's most well-known hits from his career which spanned almost five decades.

Britain’s Got Talent star Shaheen Jafargholi is also said to be appearing on the album after the Welsh schoolboy wowed the world at MJ’s memorial service with his rendition of the Smokey Robinson classic Who’s Loving You.



The memorial service at the Staples Center in LA last month is reportedly the main inspiration behind the tribute album after stars such as Mariah Carey and Usher performed cover versions of Jackson’s hits.

A source has said: "The idea came from the memorial concert. Many fans asked if cover versions would be released and it seemed a wonderful idea. Some of the biggest stars in the world have indicated they'd like to take part to pay their own respects and tributes to the King of Pop.”

"This covers album is sure to be a massive worldwide hit with fans and could raise a fortune for Michael's favourite charities."

A source has also told The Daily Star that the UK’s very own Robbie Williams is being lined up to deliver his rendition of the Jackson classic Man In The Mirror whilst his former band Take That are rumoured to be covering ABC, Working Day and Night or Don't Stop Til You Get Enough.

Depends. If they're doing an exact copy, then yes, interpretations can be really really good sometimes.

[info]faux_____pas slightly OT6th-Aug-2009 02:07 am (UTC)
idk if this has been mentioned anywhere, and, not that its a big deal, but i'm a manager at an old navy store and our CD this month plays MJ/jackson 5 every 6th song or so. all the of employees have loved it... it definitely makes work easier, especially during "billie jean."

anyways, i'm not the biggest fan of covers. i like that it'd raise money for his charities, but eh.
[info]la_cienega Re: slightly OT6th-Aug-2009 02:41 am (UTC)
i am jealous of your job
[info]so_forgotten Re: slightly OT6th-Aug-2009 03:35 am (UTC)
i came in the store the other day and one of his songs were playing. i was overly excited. haha.
[info]gonexforgotten Re: slightly OT6th-Aug-2009 04:14 am (UTC)

[info]phillymademe 6th-Aug-2009 02:13 am (UTC)
i like Sweet Dreams.
I love Beat It.

DNW them together though.
[info]chasinwaterfall 6th-Aug-2009 02:15 am (UTC)
There's a 99.9% chance that it's going to suck.

I forgot Lionel Richie was still alive though.
[info]nesquik9 6th-Aug-2009 02:16 am (UTC)
i like that most of it seems like people he was friends with and was a fan of. I would be annoyed if it was just people who are popular now.

I hope quincy jones works on it, even if he's been pretty cruel to MJ in the press now.

the man's music stands by itself.

[info]stambag 6th-Aug-2009 02:33 am (UTC)
michael jackson + tacky = invalid statement
[info]pharmacists 6th-Aug-2009 02:36 am (UTC)
maybe tacky isn't the word i'm looking for
i'm referring to the amount of sparkles per yard of fabric being worn
