Kanye WestKanye West, Will.I.Am, and Akon are contributing remixes to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller - 25th Anniversary Edition,” a commemorative reissue of his groundbreaking 1982 album.

Aside from several unreleased tracks, the compilation will include Kanye’s remix of “Billie Jean,” and Will.I.Am’s rendition of “The Girl Is Mine” and “P.Y.T.”

Akon and Will.I.Am are both featured on a new version of “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’.”

Meanwhile, Michael Jackson is working on a long-awaited comeback album, and he is reportedly collaborating with artists Kanye West, Teddy Riley, Chris Brown, and 50 Cent.

I would feel maaaad weirded if i was in a studio wit mike. And this will either be hit or miss. Mike lost it. You know those albums you get not because of the artist but because of the featured artist. Yep.

Michael jackson??? nobody cares about his music anymore. Music has changed so much since he last had a hit. Why doesn't he just disappear gracefully ... Oops too late. And of course this album will flop, if it makes any kind of buzz, it will be because of the featured artist.

Wut u gotta understand is, mike has a worldwide fan base, and that's why he's gonna sell. People still love mike regardless of wut he has done. That's one thing artist today lack, a world wide fan base. I m lookin forward to it.

Please note: in my previous post confessing that michael is the only man i would sleep with .... I use the term "man" loosely ... Very loosely ...

All of you are nuts. Anything mike touches turns to plat. Regardless of petty inuendo about his sexuality, mike is the father of all these fake r&b singers' styles

Posted by call me pops son
Wot r u people chattin about, mj is a lyrical and vocal king. U aint touchin him. N with beats from will.i.am and kanye, my mans gonna smash it. All the craziest artists are the best musicians (mj, r kelly, britney etc.) he works hard and does his thing. I just dont want him to spend to much time in that robot in laz vegas, u dig. 1
