Michael Jackson is one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived and Pentatonix performed almost of all of hits with just their voices. Even though, The King of Pop used a lot of instruments when he sang his hits, you would never know it as you listen to the quintet doing his tunes A Capella style.
Listening to them sing his legendary catalog reminds me how happy Michael Jackson’s music made whenever I listened to them. So if you need a smile on this Monday, then hit play and I promise you lips will be stretched from ear to ear.
If you want that feeling to continue, then you can see Pentatonix opening for Kelly Clarkson starting on July 11th. Can’t wait that long to see them, then you can watch their documentary On My Way Home on Vimeo.
Yesterday, at the Billboard Music Awards the late-Michael Jackson performed his newest song Slave to the Rhythm. How? Hologram!
I have a whole bunch of emotions about it, happiness, creeped out, weirded out, but mostly sadness because of the great talent we loss. What emotions did it bring up in you?
Even though Michael Jackson has been dead for nearly 5 years that isn’t stopping his family from releasing an album of never before heard songs from him on May 13th.
That X Factor judge LA Reid was given full access to MJ’s archives from the estate and has picked 8 songs to retool for modern day. Hopefully he won’t make as big of a mistake with it as he did by singing on to do that now cancelled Fox singing competition show.
If you find this news a Thriller then you can pre-order Xscape tomorrow on iTunes.
UPDATE: The first teaser trailer for the album was released and it sounds a lot like Jam to me or something that would’ve been on Blood on the Dance Floor. What do you think of the :15 second tease?
On Saturday, during the halftime show of the OSU vs Iowa game, the Ohio State University Marching Band paid tribute to Michael Jackson and I don’t think that anyone can Beat It. So take 11 minutes of your day to watch the awesomeness that did, and know that the King of Pop would’ve loved it just as much as we do.
I know I found myself getting choked up as they brought the Moonwalk back to life in a marching band formation. If that is not the coolest thing you see all day, I don’t know what can top it.
And folks, that is why they are know as The Best Damn Band in the Land!
Michael Jackson might not be with us anymore, but you can still smell like him according to The Sun. John Reznikoff has a collection of celebrity hair and now he is turning the DNA from the follicles into a perfume that you can wear with his company My DNA Fragrance.
“We use the genetic code to formulate the fragrance. If you are putting on MJ’s perfume it’s a unique fragrance to him.
“The biggest seller is Elvis, but MJ is selling very well too. It’s a powerful fragrance and there is no alcohol in it.
“We use aloe vera so it doesn’t evaporate into the air. It lasts the entire day and it’s good for the skin.
“We had the actor SAMUEL L JACKSON call up to get his own perfume made – it’s so unique and special that he wanted it.”
If you want to smell like Michael Jackson, it only costs $59.99 a bottle.
I have to say out of all the things that people have tried to make a buck off of from dead celebrities, this one weirds me out the most.
