Thriller will be 40 in November
Thriller starts it all. Thriller is the predecessor to the album, off the wall. Thriller created the ultimate blue print to the “pop sound formula”. Just imagine what what music wouldn’t be like if we didn’t have the musical influences from Thriller . Thriller is an album that perfectly displays the iconic Michael Jackson sound. On this album you have Rock, RB , and a reinvented pop . Thriller stands out from other albums from the early 80s era music. The reason behind that is because Michael Jackson made sure that not just synths and gated reverb drums were used when creating the album. Michael Jackson made sure to incorporate real instruments and beat boxing into thriller’s musical track arrangements. That’s what set Michael Jackson and Thriller our from the rest. Thriller is the best selling album of all time with sales of 70 million copies worldwide. Thriller birthed the moon walk , African Americans on MTV , and “short film” videography. Thriller isn’t just a album it’s a pop cultural piece that will never be forgotten and will be celebrated for years to come. Happy 40th Thriller !
A Note: I wish that Michael Jackson’s estate would celebrate and present Michael Jackson’s achievements more on a more authentic personal scale to his fans. The lack luster shirts and reprints of Thriller album isn’t ideal. I know if Michael was still here he wouldn’t approve. I wish that his estate and promoters would pay more attention to detail and take research on Michael Jackson’s fans to deliver better results when it comes to representing and celebrating Michael’s legacy. What would you have like to have seen the estate do for thriller 40 ?

A judge has ruled that witnesses will NOT be allowed to discuss Michael Jackson's child molestation case during Dr. Conrad Murray's manslaughter trial.
L.A. County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor said any testimony relating to the molestation case is irrelevant -- and would be distracting and misleading to the jury.
The judge also banned Arnie Klein from testifying -- after prosecutors argued the defense would try to blame the dermatologist for the death ... and take away attention from the man on the hot seat -- Dr. Murray.

The Michael Jackson estate is tired of waiting for Lloyd's of London to pay out on the $17.5 million "This Is it" insurance policy -- so they're going after Lloyd's in court ... demanding they pay up, stat.
Lloyd's of London originally issued the policy to cover potential losses for MJ's 2009 "This Is It" concerts -- but earlier this year, the company asked an L.A. court to declare the policy null and void ... claiming MJ lied about his medical history and drug addiction.
Lloyd's insists the policy "was restricted to losses resulting from accident only" -- pointing out Michael's official cause of death was "homicide."
But the estate is now on the offensive -- filing a cross-complaint, claiming MJ never intended to die, whether by homicide or not, so his death still qualifies as an accident.
But the estate isn't just settling for the original $17.5 million -- they also want punitive damages. FYI, suing for punitive damages often scares the crap out of insurance companies.

Michael Jackson
God looked at his Garden
And found an empty place
Then he looked upon the Earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms round you
And lifted you to the rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
Dedicated to Michael Jackson. I'm so sorry Michael,
you came to help, they hurt you
you taught us to love, they accused you of loving
It's all our fault.
I know you are in a better place now I love you very much.
Bye..till we meet again!
We will never forget you, you were a blessing to the world and to us
God looked at his Garden
And found an empty place
Then he looked upon the Earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms round you
And lifted you to the rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
Dedicated to Michael Jackson. I'm so sorry Michael,
you came to help, they hurt you
you taught us to love, they accused you of loving
It's all our fault.
I know you are in a better place now I love you very much.

With the two-year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death approaching -- one helicopter company is giving fans the chance to pay their respects ... by raining flowers down around Neverland ... mid-flight.
The 30-minute Channel Island Helicopter flights are set to take off June 24th and 25th -- exactly two years since Jackson died after a Propofol-induced cardiac arrest.
During the flight, passengers are encouraged to honor the late entertainer by chucking his favorite flower -- a red rose -- out of the helicopter mid-flight ... over nearby Zaca Peak.
A rep for the helicopter company tell us -- fans are super excited for the aerial tour ... saying they feel it will bring them "closer to heaven" ... and closer to Michael.

MICHAEL JACKSON
The only man in the world who I can truly say I love
The man who spread the message of peace like a dove
He is in my heart, my soul, my body, my mind
His precious aura left my eyes blind
Because he was yours and mine
And I can't imagine to leave him behind
I LOVE YOU THEN, NOW & FOREVER!
Just know that I'll never let you go
MICHAEL JACKSON IS MY ANGEL!!!
Michael taught me how to love, how to smile in difficult times. He taught me everything, he will always be my angel, I love you Michael. God bless you.
Lloyd's of London has gone to court ... asking a judge to let the company off the financial hook, claiming it doesn't owe the Michael Jackson Estate $17.5 million on grounds MJ was a fraud.
The company issued the muilti-million dollar policy to cover the doomed "This Is It" tour for losses.
But Lloyd's claims it doesn't have to honor the policy for 2 primary reasons:
1. Michael Jackson and AEG allegedly lied about Michael's medical history -- specifically, MJ said he had not seen a doctor other than a cosmetic MD since June, 2005.
2. Michael did not disclose he was taking prescription drugs prior to and at the time of his death -- including Propofol.
Lloyd's is asking the court for a declaration that the policy is null and void as a result of the alleged fraud.
Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for the Estate, tells TMZ, "This legal action is nothing more than an insurance company trying to avoid paying a legitimate claim by the insured."
