Dear Michael Jackson

This was originally posted on MAX JAX and MJJC in July 2008. It caused huge controversay on the forums, as people had built up this huge expectation of something which was never to happen. On MJJC, the thread was closed as there was soo much negativity.

heres something thats been on my mind for awhile. We all know that Michael has been in the studio working on new songs, but what if the new music is not for a classic complete new album???? Has anyone one considered the idea that maybe that part of Michael’s career is over and now his career is moving in a different direction.

ok let me clarify… from J5 days to Invicible, Michael has worked hard at his career, reaching the top and becoming the biggest selling artist of all time. His career has been the inspiration for many of todays artists and thoughout his career he has been instramental in shaping the music industry as we know it.

Now that he has reached the top, become the worlds biggest selling artist and gained respect and acceptance from the music industy, he realises he dosnt have to prove himself any more and is now using his experience and talent to help todays top artists.

When he allowed Billy Bush to interview him in Ireland we saw that Will.I.am was working with Michael. Then we get THRILLER25 which Will features on. We hear rumours of Michael working with Akon and we get HOLD MY HAND which is confirmed to be on Akon’s new album.

All Im saying is, maybe now, Michael is not working on a solo album for himself , but working on new music for other peoples albums. In October 2007, when he sent us the letter about the L’Uomo Vogue photo shoot he said “Soon I will be sharing exciting and surprising news with you from my other efforts”. Most fans took this to mean a new album, but what if he ment he was working on music with other artists for THEIR album not his??

Its not the first time he has collaberated with other artists. Since Thriller ara he has worked with many different artists. Back in then, when he was the young top artist heading for the peak of his career, he recorded with people like Paul MacCartney and Diana Ross, artists who had reached the top of their careers. Maybe now, Michael is doing the same thing, passing on his talent and experience to the new generation.

what are your thoughts?

while I dont believe Michael was Jeasus, I believe that Michael was a very extra ordinary person, someone who didnt realise how special he was. A cople of months ago, me and a friend were talking about this and we started doing some research online.

We found something called EARTH ANGELS

Back in J5 days and before, people descibed Michael as “an old soul in a childs body”

His lyrics often contain refernce to something in his life which hadnt happened yet

The number 7 is constant in his life

and soo much more which I cant think of now

Earth Angels http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art45545.asp

Do you ever feel like the Mother Ship dropped you off on a foriegn planet, waiting earnestly for their return? Have you had a sense early in life about a mission you had been sent here to do? If so, then you just might be an Earth Angel!

In the name of humanity and compelled to help and heal at virtually any age and cost, for the Earth Angel, the optimistic drive of love and hope may begin showing signs of unbalance. As self-denial transforms into clouded personal affairs, granting everyone else’s wish and command, the scales can quite easily begin to tip.

Earth Angels have a unique essence about them. In their purest form they are intuitive, empathic, sensitive and giving often to a fault, with the very concept of tragedy nipping at their heals. They may be nurses, holistic healers, counselors or something similar by nature while also providing this very role in close relationships.

Earth Angels will push themselves, giving their very best often to the point of self-infliction and emotional dismay. They will be compelled, without quite understanding why, to seek out and draw to them friendships and love relations in need of counsel and healing. The struggle then becomes when to say, “enough.” Conflicting emotions begin surfacing as to whether or not they should stay, as the Earth Angel is pained by feeling their task is incomplete. They will run through cycles of guilt, feeling they should not put themselves first and will mistakenly feel there is a reason for running across a particular person’s path in need and continue to give again and again to the same people who have hurt them in the past without a healthy and assertive “No.”

Without understanding why, very often these individuals will find cycles running virtually back to back carrying with them similar issues different people. If not careful the potential exists of a tired or broken spirit believing they were meant to be punished in some way by God or the Universe. What they may not understand is this type of exertion may jeopardize exactly the work they had come here to provide.

After leaving the safety of the angelic realm providing their well-meaning service to the Earth plane at such a critical time, it had been set into motion the familiarity of self-sacrifice. Because of the dimensional change, balance in this spiritual contract is often a distant memory forgetting that in order to help the many, it is not always case-wise to sacrifice a piece of the soul for the one or the few.

Angry incarnates or those who have returned to enjoy the material facets of this Earthly plane can be especially draining on the Angel, causing many in regards to comfort, tendencies to over eat, drink, smoke or other secret habits in soothing their pain. They may be so panic stricken that the very idea of meditation or prayer seems like an inconvenience in the amount of time it may take away from others around them.

To the outside world they may appear weak, insignificant or someone that can be taken advantage of. Though this is a risk an Earth Angel willingly takes when accepting their mission, rest assured this is an illusion, but often found to be one of the more difficult parts of the Earth Angel’s job. It may also be difficult or embarassing for an Earth Angel to accept money or help for their services. Again, it will benefit the Angel greatly to try to view the act of receiving graciously as a balancing agent should ever there exist a desire to quit a job they are unhappy with.

Just as easily as vindictiveness and selfishness can knock at the Earth Angel’s door, there are Others who have come to this Earthly plane precisely in the effort to help guide the Angel reminding them of their mission. They will lend support but with a firmer hand of direction. They will appear wise beyond their years, not of this world, stronger, more confident, less willing to accept excuses for certain behaviors and privy in their ability to see through people who may bring harm while pointing out a lesson in procrastination and delivery, allowing the Earth Angel to move on.

The Earth Angel may find comfort near large bodies of water. They will benefit from treating themselves to sea salt baths, aromatherapy, essential oils, and plants both in gardening and around the home. Believing the universe provides and allows for this type of support,will be key and something only the Earth Angel will be able to do. They will then go on to help other Earth Angels, supporting them and their mission as well.

On a final note, if you happen to run into one of these Earth Angels or be one, remember there is never a victim. Whether you take part for selfish means or walk away it is purely, in some manner, of mutual consent. Remembering the same consent exists to graciously take and recieve offers with it a retro grace a thousand fold.

We Be Ballin
Song originally co-written and produced by Rick ‘Dutch’ Cousin in 1997 and recorded by Ice Cube as “We Be Clubbin”, for the movie “The Player’s Club”.

Remixed later the same year by Cousin, with added vocals by Michael (who sang the chorus) and Shaquille O’Neal, and re-titled “We Be Ballin”.
The song was to be released on an NBA compilation album, set to be released that year, and was going to be featured in the infamous NBA ‘I Love This Game’ themed commercials.
The NBA season was cut in half that year, due to the player initiated strike against the league, and the entire project seemed to just disappear…

another charity song, recorded in october 2005 in London, for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Blocked from release due to disagreements between Michael, Sony and 2 Seas Record label. The song is now property of the Shiek of Behrain, who set up 2 Seas Record label with Michael. There was a court case in November 2008, in London between Michael and the Sheik, where the song was going to used as evidence but the case was settled out of court and the song was never used as evidence.

2 MAN IN BLACK
Not to be confused with the Will Smith film, MAN IN BLACK has only ever been heard by 10 people. It was recorded and 10 copies were made. These cd’s were given to 10 SONY exutitives on a flight to Neverland in the early 90’s. They were going to Neverland to hear songs which would later become Dangerous album, and the special cd’s were given to them as a preview of the type of songs on Dangerous.These cd’s have disapeared and no one else has ever heard this song.
