NakedIfIWantTo, beautiful avi!

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...

Smile

i was talking to NakedIfIWantTo about this and now i'm finally able to get this up. my sister made this for me for Christmas '09

From my sister's blog, in it she is referring to me.

At midday on June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, one of the most recognizable entertainers in the world, had died at 50. Today is the one year anniversary of his passing. My sister is a big fan of MJ and his undeniable talent. I knew how much his music meant to her so I made her a music video and singles collection of all his songs and gave it to her last Christmas. It took me nearly three months to collect over 20 videos, 30 hit singles, and hundreds of artwork to create this compilation. It’s all very bittersweet, and while fans still mourn him, we can all appreciate the fact that his music still, and will always, live on.
Michael Jackson
1958 — Forever

i really love what she choose for the cover art, she went for something more personal and it seriously got me all choked up when i saw it. and all the time she spent collecting HQ pictures of his album and singles covers for the collage! before i opened my gift she said she made something for me. but when i opened it, i was in such shock i kept asking her where she bought it and how is it possible that i don't already have it! even though she just told me she made it! it just looked and felt so damn real.

she put it together with a program on Mac, choose the Vinyl for the main menu! which i think sooo cute. i can't print screen or pause so i had to take these shots with my iphone and digital camera. what a pain...these are the best shots i could manage.

^ excuse the dust, looks vintage no?
first dvd menu plays Rock With You, second dvd menu plays Man In The Mirror. then when you go into each section by Album it plays a different song, i was going ~Radio Ga Ga, radio goo goo~ for all the little details she put into it!

i love my sister so much. i call her 'Dirty Diana' lol only MJ fans get it. Everyone else is like 'oo girl, is there something we should know about you?' i think she would prefer her ring tone on my phone to be her favorite MITM or second favorite WBSS but it's DIRTY DIANUHH! NAWW!

[NakedIfIWantTo]

Those are the DVD menues?!! They're so much better than Dangerous Bucharest's!
When I first saw it I thought it was something official too! Especially the cover.
Can I just say, your sister is AWESOME!!!

 

[melfreya]

OMG!! your sister is a true artist!! I would die if someone put so much effort in a gift for me!! you're a lucky lady kae!!

 

[NakedIfIWantTo]

^yep she is!

^ NakedIfIWantTo, psychedelic! i like how colorful everything is but they kept his hair white, ~curls for my girls~ hayyy.

i had forgotten what Dangerous Bucharest's DVD menu looked like so i popped it in and it's so boring lol i probably didn't remember because i was anxious to see the concert B)

^ Melfreya, i feel very lucky to have my sis , i'd love for her to have a career in something very artistic. when we were little we used to cut like 'fan made' trailers type video clips with two VHS players that were hooked up together. ahh don't you love the 90's? we did what we could with whatever technology we had, now it's so easy to make stuff like that on a computer!

it's funny because whenever my sister ventures into projects like these, she always asks for my approval because she says i have a good eye for detail and i'm very honest but obviously this time she couldn't ask me. she kept notes of every time i mentioned a favorite song or video, which she had to hide from me whenever i went over to her house i had no idea!

keeping in the tradition of colorful posts

Psychedelic is the word! It's very tribal, but he still keeps his cool shadesB)

I mentioned Bucharest because that was about the only legit/official DVD we got
Well apart from TII. I keep forgetting that we also have TII!

How do you do that?

So does your sister like MJ if not for you?

 

[kissablekae]

just think if he didn't have the sunglasses, his eyes and eye makeup would be crazy colorful

TII got a collage theme going on with lots of lens flares B)

How do you do that? So does your sister like MJ if not for you?

lol the VCR's! leave it up to my dad to figure how that works! he hooked it up so we could record the VHS tapes that we rented but were hard to buy copies because they are foreign like Mr. Coconut (1989) one of my favorites. those were the days before the convenience of eBay and Amazon. yeah we did some cool quick cuts videos of shows like Sailor Moon! looked great but when you played with volume, it sounded like a bunch of stuttering!

i used to suggest MJ songs for my sisters that i thought they would like based on their music preferences but it was hard to get them to actually listen to it (remember what i said about Damien Rice & Closer!). i think the resistance was because they expected everything to sound like the popular songs off of the Thriller album. so when i saw my older sister's favorite music list in September, MJ was on there and i was like whatttt! since when?! anyways that was during the time she was making my gift but i didn't know she was making my gift! so i guess she likes MJ when she finally gave him a chance!

ilovemjmusic's awesome compilation of their top 40 MJ songs. i like to put this on my ipod when i want a quick dose of MJ songs, it starts with
I'll Be There

^Nothing tops the beginning of that video!!!
I figured your sister must also be a fan to do all of that for you!
Just imagine if my brother likes say Gaga or something (he doesn't ), and if I was to think about giving him a birthday gift like that. It'd be a no right away.

 

[kissablekae]

^ growing up, i did sense a resistance from her but it's understandable for the time we grew up in. i think when it comes down to it, she still had respect for him as an artist. after asking me a lot of personal questions about him, she probably felt more at ease and was able to close up that disconnect between how she felt about him as an artist and as a person. it was a total surprise to me when she asked to watch TII with me but i'm happy she came around, the more the merrier!

my older sister also listens to Britney Spears but still says she can't admit that publicly! i guess it could've been the same thing with MJ. that's weird to me. because for me, i just like what i like and if you don't then that's your loss. same goes for my car radio, (like that movie Rush Hour) 'don't touch my radio!' if you don't like my music, you can walk! B)

one of my hater co-workers walked up to me singing Human Nature the other day. i sang along then i was like "i thought you didn't like him!", he said "i admit he can sing!". then i said "you mean 'boy can sanngggg!'"

Looking out
Across the morning
The city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
Human Nature

An all-new Michael Jackson collection featuring 10 unreleased songs will be released this November, a rep for the Jackson estate exclusively tells Rolling Stone.

At the time of his death Jackson reportedly left hard drives filled with unheard music, much of it recorded during the King of Pop's '80s peak. Jackson's manager Frank DiLeo told RS that he estimates that Jackson's vaults contain more than 100 completed and unreleased songs, including collaborations with Akon, Will.i.am and Ne-Yo.

"There are a couple of songs we recorded for the Bad album that we had to cut that are just sensational," DiLeo said.

"Every time that [Jackson] recorded, he over-recorded. He would record anywhere from 20 to 30 songs for each album," former Sony Music CEO Tommy Mottola told RS last year. Any of them could have been as big a hit as the ones that came out." One of the most noteworthy tracks was a "Thriller" outtake titled "Don't Be Messin' Around." Other candidates include any of the reported five songs that Jackson recorded with Will.i.am.

Last year, a pair of unreleased Jackson tracks, "Another Day" and "A Place With No Name," leaked, and recently Rodney Jerkins, who co-produced Jackson's 2001 album "Invincible," revealed to VladTV that he's currently working on the collection.

As Rolling Stone previously reported, the album of never-before-heard Jackson songs will be the first in a 10-project, seven-year deal the Jackson estate inked with Sony Music in March 2010 — a $250 million pact that will also include reissues of Jackson's classic albums, new greatest hits sets, a DVD collection of all Michael's music videos and possibly a Cirque du Soleil show. The hybrid karaoke and dance simulator "Michael Jackson: The Video Game" is also expected out by the end of 2010.

I can't wait to hear "Don't be messin' around". MJ played piano for that song ! Swedien said it was one of his favourite.

 

[NakedIfIWantTo]

My favorite song

LOL we're exactly the same in the way we feel about our car radio!
That's why I always prefer to ride alone. I can turn up the volume as loud as I want!

 

[NakedIfIWantTo]

Oh Ciao! Yes that news should have been posted.

 

[Ciao!Manhattan]

^Well, I thought so. You knew ? I've only heard today ! I'm so out of it

I feel sick...

They shouldn't release these songs - esp. so soon. There's a reason he did not want to release them.
If they want to release them, they should remain demos. Nobody should change / finish them.
And the money shouldn't go to Sony.

 

[NakedIfIWantTo]

^I don't think all the money would go to Sony. His kids will be the beneficiaries.
I think Michael did say he wrote some songs and put them in the vault so his children's future would be guaranteed.
Although I agree that nothing should be tampered with.

Ciao! They've basically been saying that for a long time haven't they? It's just that we have it confirmed recently.

 

[Diorette]

^ Of course, not all the money is going to Sony.
But he wouldn't want even one dollar to go to them.
He was glad that his contract with them was nearly over.
He did not want to have anything to do with them anymore.

 

[Ciao!Manhattan]

Well yeah, they have but yeah now it's sure.
I agree Diorette, they shouldn't finish them. If they're demos, they're demos. I don't want a song made by Akon or Will.I.Am, I want an MJ's song and if it's not finish, whatever.
Jackie ( his brother ) is working on the project ... So weird. It's not like he was involved during other albums.
