The album is going to be awesome and those pictures of a 'Michael Jackson' in a wheel chair are of no relevance.

If the leaked song 'Hold my Hand' with MJ and Akon is any indication of Michael Jackson's capabilities, then we are all in for a good album.

I own all of his albums, and whilst each one has had a different approach, they all show musical genius.

Just her Joe McIntyre in a German radio interview. This is a complete RUMOR. Not True, did not happen.
