Jared Jones: Michael Jackson is my favorite

Jared Jones, a Richmond DJ who goes by the name Vibelicious, gives a little shoutout to his favorite artist and someone he hopes to work with: Michael Jackson.

“I’ve been listening to Jamiroquai lately. I would love to do anything with Lady Gaga. I’m really loving her right now. But my all time favorite is Michael Jackson. I don’t care what anyone says.”

UPDATE: Another lawsuit: AllGood Seeks to Derail London Shows – MiniB#67

Someone else is trying to stick their hands into Michael Jackson’s pockets. Shocking, I know. The amount of people attempting to prevent Jackson from focusing on his career and sidetracking any plans to show off his talent has grown… again.

According to a report from Reuters, some dude in New Jersey (AllGood Entertainment) is claiming he has a deal committing Jackson to a performance in the United States which stops him from performing in other places; other places like London’s O2.  The deal was supposedly struck with Jackson’s alleged manager, Frank Dileo.

(Update: ) The only problem is that Jackson family members released a statement on May 15 2009 saying they were in no way involved in any performances with Michael, as claimed by AllGood. Oops.

RUMOR: MJ and BGT’s Diversity?

Another day, another rumor about what Michael Jackson’s London shows will contain!

mjeol.com mj_001
This one involves alleged talks for Britain’s Got Talent winners ‘Diversity’ to, in some way, be involved.

However, the trouble with this ‘news’ is that, according to UK magazine (tabloid?) New Magazine, Simon Cowell is trying to use this to get a deal with Jackson.

Supposedly Cowell wants to use the group’s participation to squeeze out an appearance from Jackson on one of his shows.

A delayed start for Jackson’s This Is It concert series is necessary “in order to meet the challenges presented by such a massive and technically complex show,” according to a message sent to ticket-holders by concert promoter AEG Live.

“We apologize to all disappointed Michael Jackson fans and remain extremely dedicated and focused on creating an exceptional live music experience,” said producer and director Kenny Ortega, who is collaborating with Jackson on the shows.

Jackson Tour: 500 Dancers fly to LA for Auditions

Michael Jackson Sources 500 Dancers Fly to Los Angeles for Extraordinary Auditions

Rehearsals for the Michael Jackson shows are well underway and already the King of Pop is hard at work preparing his concerts with show director Kenny Ortega and contributing choreographer and dancer from the Dangerous and HIStory tours, Travis Payne.

Shrouded in secrecy and the subject of much speculation as to their content, the shows have created a level of excitement never witnessed before. Fittingly, for such an out of this world show, rehearsals are taking place south of Silicone Valley, west of the NASA Space Center!

One of the highlights of rehearsals has been the dance auditions. With over 5,000 applications received, the number was narrowed down to 500 potential candidates, flying into California from all over America, and as far away as Australia, Canada, Japan, Europe, UK, and South America. They are some of the greatest dancers the world has to offer, and they were there for one reason – Michael! His influence inspired many of them to become dancers in the first place.
