This is some late night linking, but I had to put this one up.
According to E! Online, Ola Ray, the actress from Michael Jackson’s Thriller video is suing Mike because she’s never been paid royalties from the video. Never as in ever, ever?
The video is over 25-years old. Maybe MJ is just late on his payments.
But that’s not the only person who’s suing him. Longtime manager Raymone Bain is also suing him for $44 million, claiming that’s how much he owes her for brokering deals over the past five years.
Mike, you need to put out a record quickly my friend.
OK, so everyone’s seen the video of Susan Boyle, the homely British lady with the voice of an angel, right?
Well, “Britain’s Got Talent” keeps proving that talent can come from the most peculiar places, as 12 year old Shaheen Jafargholi exhibits a vocal talent beyond his age with his version of The Jackson 5/Smokey Robinson’s “Who’s Lovin’ You”. Now look, the kid’s got pipes. He’s obviously listened to his Mariah Carey and Leona Lewis records, as his vocal style seems to take more from those divas than it does any male artist.
Am I impressed? Sorta. Actually, Michael’s version (which is now 40 years old) still beats the pants off of this. And I don’t say that just because I’m a Michael Jackson nut. The J5’s version is simply sung better, and that’s all there is to it. This clip is also ripe for comedy, from Simon Cowell discreetly giving the camera the old face-scratch with his middle finger to the comment on the YouTube clip that says the kid is gonna be a future pillow biter (sorry, folks, I’d be inclined to agree). Anyway, before you chew me out for making inappropriate jokes about a pre-teen, check out the clip as well as The Jackson 5’s version and YOU tell me which is better.
