26th November - Butterfly writers talk about the experience: Marsha Ambrosius and Natalie Stewart, songwriters who penned Michael's 'Butterflies,' were very surprised when the King of Pop invited them to visit the studio while he was recording the song and asked them for their input.
"It was incredible because he asked, he continually, asked, 'Marsh, what's the next harmony? Girls, does this sound right? What do you think? Is this what you were looking for? He was so open," Stewart said.
Ambrosius adds,
"To begin with, I was kinda shook. Because you don't realize how you're going to feel until you're put in that kind of situation. I had the tears in my eyes and got kinda nervous. But as I got into it, I realized it was work, it was a job. I had to vocally conduct a legend."

21st November - Sorry for the slow updates!! But here is a run down of the latest happennings. Michael was in HMV times square on the 7th of november signing copies of his invincible album, pictures of this event will soon be up on the site. Here is an answer from mike while he was there: “It's a great honor," answered Michael. "I'm very happy. We worked very hard on it, and I'm blessed that the fans accepted it the way they did. I'm very honored. I really am. I don't take anything for granted. Everytime there's a #1 album, or song, it's as if this is the first one.” when asked about what he thought of invincible being number 1 around the world.
On the 7th michael also did an interview on entertainment tonight a few quotes from michael during the interview.....
"Being on stage with my brothers was a wonderful experience, like a revelation. It was almost as if it was déjà vu, as if it happened yesterday, you know. I felt as if Ed Sullivan was introducing us when we first premiered 'I Want You Back.' I love my brothers and it was just a great celebration; it was so much fun."
"They are the giants of the industry today, on an international level. And having them come there for me, I was completely honored and blessed and happy."
"Seeing the fans react was a wonderful experience,"
"I enjoyed all the hysteria. It always makes a performer feel good when they're paid back with an 'I love you' and dancing and shouting. It's a happy thing."
Here is the track listing for CRY when it comes out.

"I'm not one to sit back and point the finger and say, 'Oh, I feel bad for what happened to them.' I want to do something, to give to help those who lost their parents, who lost their mothers and their fathers. Those are our people. Those are our children. Those are our parents. "I want the whole world to sing [What More Can I Give], to bring us together as a world, because a song is a mantra, something you repeat over and over. And we need peace, we need giving, we need love, we need unity." - Michael.
19th September - Check out the exclusive review of the MSG concert in the FAM REPORTS section
18th September - Michael has hit the recording studio with other artists to record a song entitled "what more can i give?" the song is going to be released on single and the proceeds raised from it will go to help the tragic events in new york city. "I believe in my heart that the music community will come together as one and rally to the aid of thousands of innocent victims. There is a tremendous need for relief dollars right now and through this effort each one of us can play an immediate role in helping comfort so many people. We have demonstrated time and again that music can touch our souls. It is time we used that power to help us begin the process of healing immediately. The lyrics to 'What More Can I Give' seek to help the world's citizens find solace in the wake of the attack on America and to create a sense of global unity in the face of mindless violence and mass murder." Janet held moments of silence on her concert in new orleans to remember those who got caught in the new york situation. For those that want to help visit www.clearchannel.com and see what you can do.

1st August - Michaels release schedule is delayed again!!!!! the single has not premiered on radio, a new schedule should be out soon, ill post it up as soon as i can. The reason sony gave for the delay was that it will take time to produce the singles and album etc, they need time to package the album, the songs and everything that michael needs to do is done, its sony that are causing the delay, hopefully michael will use the time wisely to shoot a video for the song!! Lets hope this is not a long delay. A special shout out to Anika for suggesting a different colour scheme to make the site easier to read!
