Michael Jackson Re-Releasing Thriller Album?

Well, not the whole album, but Michael Jackson is re-mixing four songs from the Thriller album for his next cd. It's a 25th Anniversary edition of Thriller, which will have re-mixes of 'Wanna Be Startin' Something', 'The Girl Is Mine', 'Billie Jean', and 'P.Y.T.'. And although these are all classic songs that I once loved, I'm not sure I can currently consider M.J. to be anything but weird and washed up.

Apparantly, Kanye West, Akon, and Will.i.am will be assisting M.J. with the album, which will also include four leftover tracks from the Thriller sessions. I could only get confirmation on one of them, which is called 'Don't Be Messin' Around'.

It's going to have to be a pretty good album too if Michael Jackson loses the $7 million lawsuit that he's involved in with the Prince of Bahrain. It seems as though M.J. didn't follow through on a contract with the prince in which Michael Jackson was supposed to release two albums, write an autobiography, and produce a Broadway type of show by the year 2012. The prince gave him a $7 million advance, but instead of getting started on the projects, Michael Jackson left the country and never returned. Hmmmm....seems very shady!

What do you think of M.J. releasing a new cd? Post a comment and tell us if you just can't wait for it to come out or if you will run in the opposite direction in your local music store!
