Creating A Viral Marketing Campaign Reaching Hundreds Of Thousands Of People Within Minutes Has Never Been So Easy With This Software !

FaceWizard is a marketers dream, It combines all the tedious and time consuming jobs of marketing on facebook and bundles them all up a slick 'ready to run' automated marketing tool.

There is NO other tool on the market that can do what FaceWizard does, it is a 'one of a kind' software that will literally catapult your marketing campaigns to another level and beyond overnight.

Have you ever seen those fans pages that seem to gain 10,20,30 thousand new fans every few hours and wonder how they can possibly be growing so fast? Well FaceWizard is the answer.... With FaceWizard you will also now have the ability to create these massively profitable viral pages with little more than the click of a button.

Not only will you be able to create hugely successful fans pages but you will also be able to quickly build and manage an army of friends over a multitude of accounts with FaceWizards powerful 'targeted' friend adding and account maintenance capabilities.

Adding just 10 - 20 friends per day over 1000 facebook accounts and also using FaceWizards 'commenting' feature to comment on 'status updates' (a great way to get people to add you), will soon have you literally hundreds of thousands of friends all under your control.

Once you have these friends you can now use FaceWizard to invite them all to your freshly created fans page causing a viral effect, comment on status updates, change your accounts status, accept incoming friend requests and a whole lot more.... all of which means BIG $$$.

Lets take a look at some of FaceWizards features in more detail:

- Friend Finder allows you to scrape the members i.ds from a fans page and save them into a file for use with the'Friend Adder ' function.

Scraping friends in this manner allows you to target people that are already interested in the niche you are marketing to giving you a huge advantage and boosting your profits to a whole new level !

- Friend Adder - Invite friends from your 'Friend Finder'
list to your accounts (Supports tags).

Invite friends from your 'Friend Finder' list to your facebook accounts. Set the 'min' and 'max' number of friends you want to add per day to each account and FaceWizard will do the rest.

Fully supports the {tag} functions to make the message look real and unique and includes a 'name' tag which allows you to personalise your message giving a much higher acceptance rate.

- 'Suggest to friends' feature - suggest your fans page to all of your accounts friends.

Automatically get all your accounts to join a specific fans page and then 'suggest' the fans page to every one of your friends causing a very quick 'mass viral' effect.

- Comment on fan pages status updates (Supports tags)
- This feature can be used in 2 ways.

1. Comment on your own fans page status updates with multiple accounts thus making your updates very popular with facebook which in turn makes them show it on your fans homepage
more giving massive traffic.

2. Comment on other fans page status updates and use it to gain friends. In some niches such as farmville etc simply posting 'add me' on a fans page status update can gain you thousands of new friends in a matter of hours.

Note: This
function will only comment on the newest status update of any
fans page.

- Make Status Updates on all your accounts
(Supports tags). Making status updates on your accounts is essential to make the account look real and can also be used as a marketing tool to your friends.

This function has full tag support which means you can create unique status updates for each account.

- Automatically click the 'like' button on your fans page wall updates.

Using multiple accounts it is extremely easy to make you status update look very popular which in turn make facebook show it on your fans homepage giving massive traffic
!

Use this in conjunction with the 'Commenter'
feature and make your status updates the most popular on facebook.

Maintenance Section

The maintenance section of FaceWizard has quite a few features that are extremely useful in maintaining you facebook account and performing general functions within each account.

- Automatically accept or reject any incoming friend requests (Maintenance section).

Logs into all accounts and accepts or rejects any incoming friend requests.

An essential feature when using multiple accounts is the ability to accept or reject all incoming friend requests at the click of a button

- Automatically remove 'pending' friend requests
(Maintenance section).

Logs into all accounts and removes all pending friend requests.

Another essential feature is the ability to remove all pending friend requests thus keeping your accounts clean and stopping build up of requests which could raise a red flag with facebook.

- Delete all inbox message
(Maintenance section).

Allows you to delete all your inbox messages to prevent your inbox getting clogged up with messages and generally keeping you accounts
clean and tidy.

- Remove all pending requests
(Maintenance section).

Allows you to remove all pending requests on your account such as fans page invites etc etc, again keeping your accounts clean, under control and making them look like they are being used in a normal manner.

Tools - Options Section

- Proxy Support Full http proxy support essential when using multiple accounts to avoid 'linking' of accounts via ip.

With FaceWizard each account is assigned its own proxy so when logging into your accounts the same one will be used every time thus avoiding the security questions that you get when logging in with
multiple ips.

- Multi threaded Allows multithreads for faster running of tasks. Time is money in this game so the last thing you want is to be waiting for a single thread to finish its work. Multi threads get the job done 10 times faster thus making you money faster.

- Integrates with Decaptcha. At around $2 per 1000 captchas how can you be without this feature? Allows total hands free running of FaceWizard with every function.

- Timer Function. All FaceWizards functions can be set with a delay timer which allows you to spread out the tasks to random intervals making them appear realistic.

- Automatically inputs D.O.B if prompted

If Facebook ask for your accounts D.O.B as a security measure, FaceWizard will automatically enter the details provided you have loaded you accounts into FaceWizard with there D.O.B.

- Log Window Allows you to see what tasks FaceWizard is performing in real time.

F.A.Q

Tag support (How does it work):

If you are new to marketing you may not know what this is but it actually very simple. It allows you to send the same message but 'spin' it into different variations.

So as an example you might want to send them this: Hi Tony, how's it going? and using the tags function you would enter the message like this.

{Hi|Hello|How are you|Hey|} {Name} {hows it going?|How are you?|Are you
ok?}

Then the message would be sent using a random tag from each section like
this:

- Hello Tony how are you

- Hey Tony how's it going?

- How are you Tony are you ok?

This clever function allows you to randomize your message invites and comments thus making it very hard for facebook to detect.

How to get 'Targeted' friends fast using FaceWizard:

Both of these options will get you adding friends quickly to your accounts, we suggest using a combination of both to make your accounts behaviour look normal.

Option 1. Find yourself a fans page that is the same niche as you are trying to target and use the 'Friend Finder' function to scrape the members i.ds.

Set FaceWizards 'Friend Adder' function running daily with multiple accounts (Use with caution especially on newer accounts), we suggest adding 6-8 people per day to start with until you account has aged for a while then you can increase the number as your account becomes more
trusted.

Option 2. Use multiple accounts to post on popular fans pages status updates using the 'Commenter' feature.

Simply posting 'add me' on popular pages such as farmville and mafia wars can get you literally thousands of fans overnight and the good part is as they are requesting to be your friend facebook cannot penalise you for sending out too many friend requests.

You can then accept all the incoming friend requests automatically with FaceWizard.

How to make sure your fans page status updates are actually seen by your fans:

Facebook have implemented a new algorithm that means your status updates are only actually seen in your fans 'news feed' if they are actually getting a lot of 'likes' and 'comments', if they are not getting these then they don't show up and your fans page is basically useless.

With FaceWizard you can get around this by using it to click on the 'like' button and post 'comments' to your own status updates thus making 100% sure it is seen as a popular post by facebook and making them show it in your fans news feeds, as with all FaceWizards functions you can set a random time delay to each 'like' and 'comment' making them seem totally genuine.

How do I make my fans page go viral?

Making your fans page go viral is in fact very easy, there are basically 2 elements to having a successful fans page, the first is of course the 'idea', you need to think of whats going to appeal to the masses... celebrity news stories, t.v shows, amazing pictures, any popular gossip, all of these things along with countless others have the potential to go viral.

The second step is to simply invite as many friends as you can to the fans page within its first few hours, the more you invite the more chance you have of making it a viral sensation. Once you get the ball rolling with this first blast of invites more often than not the viral effect starts to snowball and the fans simply come pouring in faster and faster.

How many computers can I run facewizard on?

1 FaceWizard licence will allow you to run FaceWizard on 1 computer only.

When you think of classic college towns, Knoxville, Tennessee doesnâ€™t exactly spring to mind. Unlike Athens, Georgia, or Chapel Hill, North Carolina, whose respective universities spill into the downtown streets creating a vibrant, eclectic social hub, the University of Tennessee buttresses â€œThe Strip,â€ a mostly soul-crushing stretch of countless fast foot chains and down nâ€™ dirty student bars. For various reasons, the cityâ€™s nearby downtown area has struggled through the years â€” part of it is geography, itâ€™s separated from the university by a man-made park and a busy six-lane highway

Patrick Stump Weighs Funkiness of Impending Solo Album

2010-03-29T14:41:00.001-07:00

Photograph by Candice Lawler for RollingStone.com
With the future of Fall Out Boy uncertain, Patrick Stump headed to this yearâ€™s SXSW Festival in support of his new musical endeavors, namely his upcoming solo album. Though reluctant to call it a â€œsolo project,â€ Stumpâ€™s debut disc, due out this summer, is a solo project in every possible way: Stump is writing all the songs and performing all the instruments single-handedly. Talking to MTV, Stump admitted that the albumâ€™s direction had changed since the revelation that Fall Out Boy might be on the verge of breaking up.

Check out Stump and many more SXSW actsâ€™ in Rolling Stoneâ€™s Texas Takeover: Rockers Reenact Great Moments in Lone Star State History gallery.

â€œA lot of people pointed to the â€˜funkiness,â€™ and thatâ€™s definitely something that is a part of my writing â€” but thereâ€™s been a lot of really trying things that have happened in my personal life,â€ Stump told MTV. â€œAnd Iâ€™ve ended up having a lot of writing to do, that took on a more â€¦ cathartic thing. I couldâ€™ve told you a month ago that it was going to be more of a funk record, but now I donâ€™t really know.â€

Stumpâ€™s love of funk is no secret: When he visited the Rolling Stone offices in 2009 for an intimate acoustic performance, he was quick to bust out a rendition of Princeâ€™s â€œI Wanna Be Your Lover.â€ Princeâ€™s Musicology was also listed among Stumpâ€™s favorites albums of the 2000s in our Rolling Stone poll. However, as Stump tells MTV, new songs like â€œSpotlightâ€ and â€œThe Bad Side Of 25â€³ deviate from Stumpâ€™s original plan by instead dealing with the deaths of his uncle and his collaborator T-Bone Wolk.

For now, Stump is keeping things simple. â€œI want to get a band together, and I want to practice, I really want to go out and play shows. And Iâ€™m hoping that people like the record enough so I can go do some small theaters and stuff.â€

Cookie stuffing ilegal methods

2010-02-07T11:52:00.000-08:00

Online tracking programs are intended to pay commissions to independent afiiliate web web-sites to advertise merchants providers and/or items. Payment ordinarily only will become payable inside the occasion that the surfer requires a revenue generating motions inside of a specific time frame. That motions may very well be signing up on the web page or getting or selling an item or completing an offer/quiz. When these an actions is total, affiliate marketers get paid their deserved referral fee. The hobby of guests is tracked by cookies, smaller files which are saved inside your net browser.

On the other hand, some nasty web marketers use cookie stuffing methods to cause tracking devices record a person has clicked by way of a hyperlink when in fact the end user has not in fact clicked via any like website. It’s a type of online fraud. They set a cookie with out a authentic click on from the purchaser and potentialy stole a money from the rightful affiliate marketer that truly would the offering and designed a Real click on in the customer. These partner websites are pretending that users have clicked on internet marketer advertisements when they have not. That hobby will wrongly associate possible future revenue generating actions by that consumer that has been cookie stuffed. When you are visiting a web page that's attempting to cookie stuff you, you in fact never abandon the website and will not be redirected towards merchant. Cookies are merely put in your web browser in the background with out you ever knowing.

The techniques applied by cookie stuffing web marketers can selection from fairly uncomplicated to complex and sophisticated techniques. With new methods appearing discovered and improved on the every day basis, internet marketer networks ought to set plenty of time and money into stopping these methods.

State-of-the-art cookie stuffing schemes hide cookies which not having throughfully looking at the supply code or cookies immediately after every page load makes it close to impossible to get for the internet networks, even by manual human inspection. Smart cookie stuffers have produced computer system scripts with a variety of algorithms which lower the possibilities of getting found out.

It doesn’t affect you whatsoever. There will not be any price boost or reduce in your case. Cookie stuffing could have a bad effect on stores and/or authentic online marketers. In a very circumstance where NO true affiliate marketers reffered a buyer to the merchant, and only a cookie was stuffed, a vendor could have to pay for a payment towards the cookie stuffer, although in certainty the entire amount must stay in the brokers pockets. Cookie stuffing reasons stores to pay commissions that they don’t need to pay for. Envision a $500.000 real estate sale that has a %5 money. If there was no true refferers, but a loaded cookie, you for a merchant will spend a hefty $45.000 commission to a fraudulent affiliate marketer. Nonetheless it doesn’t have being a single large money. Even if you’re paying out only a single or two digit commissions at most, it will rapidly include up and also you might be dropping some serious funds.

The other men and women affected are authentic internet marketers who reffered the customer with a product owner. A cookie will continually be replaced while using newest 1 biggest on the similar merchant and/or item. If an internet marketer referred a consumer to the product owner with a genuine click, a cookie might be positioned within the clients laptop or computer which identifies the internet as the referrer. If that customer decided to wait a couple of days previous to getting that unique solution and in the mean time surfs the web and receives cookie stuffed, the real internet marketer will shed his deserved "transaction fee".

The many affiliate networks, like every other business, are in it for your dollars. The only change is that some are additional greedy than the some. And when greed is often a driving force, ethical obstacles are overdriven. Some affiliate networks will not fit significantly work into catching the cookie stuffers, simply because they also make a payment each time an internet marketer delivers the sale. And unless the merchant alone notices weird statistics and report it, affiliate marketer networks should not do whatever about it.

Placing a lot more work into blocking cookie stuffers and protecting their retailers ought to be their priority, but since with the advantage from cookie stuffing they set this matter from the grey spot. There have even been instances where a cookie stuffer, right after a service provider alone observed a mismatch in figures, only obtained aside using a warning from your affiliate network. They would not ban this affiliate from your network or deduct his earnings. When they took back stolen commissions from your internet, they as well would have to get rid of its share on the mercantile who paid them. If you are a mercantile and have detected that your affiliate system is cheating on you, or not performing their component in stopping cookie stuffing and commission fraud, I would advise you to join shareasale. Right up until now, I've not discovered any mismatch in quantities plus they seem like the most trustable affiliate network I have worked with.

I love my Ipad, and I'm not giving it back

2010-02-04T10:45:00.000-08:00

The day time for Apple Company to reveal its next biggest and greatest has now appear and gone, and in its wake we are left with the latest system, labeled an apple ipad. Resembling (and so named by any nomenclature) a tablet, the ipad is staying heralded by Jobs et al as the option to that vacuous expanse in between smart mobile phone and laptop.

Of course, there's a lot of advertising talk in in between the person, the exhibit, and the item, but you'll find a few things that actually stand out in this new neo-tablet laptop or computer. Presented in no unique order are 10 elements that I like concerning the new ipad.

The significance of this easy statement can't be overstated. To the supplement to succeed equally within the marketing front and for personal functions, it's to have a clear impression of identity and function. This really is wherever, in my opinion, the Home windows slates fell quick. Single issue is how the technologies just isn't in area yet to get a mouse, a stylus, as well as finger touches to seriously substitute a keyboard. For your mouse and stylus, it's simple to view why – you only have one pointer to go at a time. Having a keyboard, your fingers can go on the subsequent key simultaneously. As being a laptop substitute it'll not suffice.

But as an accessory, it fits. You are not intending to write a book on it (at least not with out a dock), but you possibly can browse the internet, response brief emails, and observe movies. Whilst a Windows tablet (which I do very own and love using) was exhibiting us how a stylus could do the job, the apple ipad is demonstrating us why it can not ought to.

According for the latest technical files, the ipad is proceeding to run for about Ten hours in between charges. It is possible to think how the mileage will vary depending on how its applied. However, if it gets somewhere close to that in real planet applications, you may come across persons having cozy with it in a wide variety of employs.

The battery existence is apparently due to a customized 1 GHz Apple processor dubbed the A4, among other elements. This tailor made method might just give the apple ipad the upper hand amongst other tablets of a similar dimensions.

The apple ipad is supposed to give you an optional $130 3G connection with out signing a contract. The way it succeeds is this – you sign up with the month directly from the unit itself. So, you are able to potentially only acquire information for that instances you would like it, say vacation or occasional business trips. Month-to-month rates is not going to give you sticker shock, with $15 for 250 mb and $30 for unlimited.

Like the iPhone 3GS, the apple ipad incorporates a GPS, a Compass, and an accelerometer. This lets you navigate, knowledge Virtual Reality, and enjoy games about the system without the demand for additional hardware. It is possible to use the apple ipad in many various methods thanks to this hardware.

In fact, it lets developers design new utilizes to the ipad, so it is a product that will essentially do additional as time goes by. Tablets of the past were, nicely, busy trying to be a laptop computer alternative.

The apple ipad is made around a rich media experience. From audio and video to even ebooks as well as the world wide web, the system presents various media towards the user in an interactive interface made to become hands on. The apple ipad wraps your media, as it were.

The roughly 10” ipad presents a 9.7 inch LED backlit display in a 1/2 inch thick bundle. Even though it can weigh in at about 1.5 pounds, the power to operate for as long as it does at this weight is not a bad tradeoff at all.

I might have pointed out owning Windows Tablets. One particular of my favorites could be the HP TC1100, also it falls roughly into this dimension. I've to inform you, that is a fantastic fit for reading many diverse pages of material perfectly (PDFs, ebooks, even comic books) when remaining very easily transportable.

That the apple ipad was Mac compatible, then yes your favored mac uses could find a household. On the other hand, those people applications are not made for the finger. Instead they're developed for just a mouse and keyboard, and you would conclusion up spending all you time tapping out on digital keys, wishing for a keyboard. The apple ipad would inadvertently be assigned like a laptop replacement, and it would fail.

As an alternative these have inherited an expansive catalog of applications designed being equally mobile and finger friendly. The ipad keeps its identity in examine, and has fun doing so.

The ipad had to become under $1000 to even be regarded a possible for the market, and around $500 would take it in line with plenty of other same hardware. The apple ipad reaches this amount easily by developing a tiered pricing style. The apple ipad begins out at $499 for a 16 GB Wifi Model, and goes up to $699 for a 64 GB edition. If you want the optional 3G capacity, it will eventually cost you an more $130 dollars. You are able to choose and pick what you wish to expend, but it can fit into an existing economy price.

The apple ipad features plenty of involved software package that receives you up and going moments out in the box. The brand new version of iPhoto gives you a digital pile of photos to interact with. The mail system is whole featured for most people, as well as the new iBooks offers users a digital bookshelf to keep and read their favored ebook titles.

On prime of that, Apple Company has developed variations of their iWork Titles – Keynote, Pages, and Numbers – to perform exclusively using the apple ipad. The finger helpful versions promote for $10 each and every, which makes it an affordable alternate to those who have a little a lot more severe use to the unit.

Although technically it seriously isn't a feature of the tablet itself, Apple Company appears to get going out lengthy to obtain developers to rally about the product. Outside of acquiring a definite identity of what the supplement is inside the computing biosphere, developer assist pushing out new and interesting titles is the most essential aspect to determine the longevity and achievements from the apple ipad. Apple knows this, and the accomplishment from the “There’s an app for that” marketing campaign succeeds because it does define just what you possibly can do using a granted machine.

These are my 10 favored items about the apple ipad. Although you will discover various elements in which the apple ipad comes up brief (no video camera?), I trust that Apple Company is off on a fantastic start for an innovative merchandise. The ink is not dry enough yet to determine that the quite a few publisher contracts will catapult the unit to fame as a book reader, but a definite feel of identity and tons of applications is paramount to the device’s success. So far, it has that.

Helen Harris-Scott is again demanding money from Michael Jackson

2009-10-13T16:52:00.000-07:00

A woman named Helen Harris-Scott filed a creditor’s claim against Michael Jackson recently, demanding $50 million in damages from his estate. Helen apparently believes that Michael was stalking her while he was alive.

She first brought the suit up in 2006, accusing Michael of tapping her phone, tracking her car, and sending people out to watch her inside her own home.

Back then, she wanted $100 million for her troubles. She never received the money, so now, she’s cutting them some slack, and asking only for half of the cash.

Michael Jackson Unpublished Songs: Rarities, Remixes and Covers

2009-07-13T00:18:00.000-07:00

According to Sasha Frere-Jones, "The summer jam of 2009 was determined at 2:26 P.M. P.D.T., June 25th. For the next two months, we will either be hearing Michael Jackson, avoiding Michael Jackson, or otherwise processing the symbiotic wind of data, rumor, sound, and news that is now 'Michael Jackson.'" While we respectfully disagree — not even the death of a deeply fascinating, back-seat grooving, once-in-a-lifetime pop icon will make us stop rocking “Best I Ever Had” ad nauseum — we do have to acknowledge that MJ’s passing has fundamentally altered the 2009 Song of the Summer field: you don’t need us to point out that the last few weeks have seen one giant, collective, head-first dive back into the man’s impressive catalog.

With that in mind, this week’s Power Rankings take a break from today's hits to go deep into the crevices of said catalog, tracking the best and most curious MJ oddities, rarities, covers, remixes, bonus tracks, tribute mixtapes, and more. As always, let us know what we've missed.

1. Thriller-era demos: We totally love the instructions to the engineer on "Billie Jean" ("more kick and stuff in the phones, I need 'em ... more bottom and kick in the phones" ) and hearing "Starlight" instead of "Thriller" is a head-trip. But as far as the music goes, the “Wanna Be Startin’ Something” demo particularly stands out: It’s jammier, the back-up vocals have more of an African call-and-response vibe, and, at one point, Jackson almost scats. You’re still a vegetable, though.

2. Cookin’ Soul Presents "Michael Jackson (Tribute to the King of Pop)": Surprisingly great meeting of music and lyrics, connecting MJ and rap without overstating the shared DNA. Great: "I Want You Back" feat. Lil Wayne; "Don’t stop ‘Til You Get Enough" feat. Jay-Z. Hilarious and smart: "Remember the Time" feat. 50 Cent; "Black or White" feat. Eminem. Just be sure to skip Kid Cudi on “Beat It.”

3. Rub Radio MJ Mix: D.J. Ayres of Brooklyn’s the Rub put together this mix a few years ago, but re-posted it on the 25th. He stays away from the most obvious megahits, and it’s still completely can’t-miss.

4. Erykah Badu and the Roots, “I Wanna Be Where You Are”: The Roots and Badu also collaborated on a jokey “Billie Jean” cover, but it’s “Where You Are” that has the team-up — a crack band, and the rare singer who has to confidence to fearlessly interpret Michael — reaching its potential.

5. Akon, “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’”: In his review of the 25th Anniversary edition of Thriller, Rob Sheffield chose this track as the sole highlight from the album’s bonus covers, writing, it’s “actually kind of great — [Akon] slows it down into a piano ballad, lingering over the easily obscured lyrics.”

6. Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson, “State of Shock”: Mercury and Jackson recorded three songs together in 1983, two of which showed up in different iterations elsewhere. Two of the original demos leaked in 2002 (the other was “More to Life Than This”), and proved Michael could do histrionic hard rock with the best of them.

7. Ian Brown, “Thriller”: Before you dismiss this 2007 cover from the not-exactly-relevant ex-Stone Roses front man as a novelty, give it a listen: Brown’s louche, drugged-out reinvention is actually pretty great.

8. Michael Jackson, “HIStory” (The Ummah remix): The Ummah was the collective name for the production team of Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and J Dilla. Here, they turn the late MJ track into something smaller and sweeter.

9. Michael Jackson feat. Jay-Z, “You Rock My World” (remix): Michael’s hip hop influence was remarkable, but this remix, from 2001’s Invincible, is (as far as we can tell) the only official guest rap verse in his career. Makes sense: Jackson as a hook-furnishing hip-hop journeyman doesn’t feel quite right.

10. Supergrass, “Beat It”: The British rockers remind us just how white they are, as if they had to — still, their pure joy bashing out the track is infectious.

Weird details of Michael Jackson Autopsy

2009-07-06T12:21:00.000-07:00

Harrowing leaked autopsy details show the singer was a virtual skeleton — barely eating and with only pills in his stomach at the time he died.

His hips, thighs and shoulders were riddled with needle wounds — believed to be the result of injections of narcotic painkillers, given three times a day for years.

And a mass of surgery scars were thought to be the legacy of at least 13 cosmetic operations.

Experts found the distressing evidence of Jacko’s physical decline while investigating his startling death in Los Angeles last week.

The examination showed the 5ft 10in star — once famed for his on-stage athleticism — had:

PLUNGED to a “severely emaciated” 8st 1oz. It is understood anorexic Jackson had been eating just one meagre meal a day.

Pathologists found his stomach empty aside from partially-dissolved pills he took before the painkiller injection which stopped his heart. Samples were sent for toxicology tests.

LOST virtually all his hair. The pop pin-up was wearing a wig when he died and pathologists said little more than “peach fuzz” covered his scalp.

A scarred section of skin above his left ear was entirely bald — apparently the result of a 1984 accident when his hair caught fire as he filmed an ad for Pepsi.

SUFFERED several broken ribs as frantic rescuers pumped his chest after he collapsed in cardiac arrest. Four injection sites were found above or near to Jacko’s heart.

All appeared to result from attempts to pump adrenaline directly into the organ in a failed bit to restart it.

Three of the injections had penetrated the heart wall — causing damage — but a fourth missed and hit one of the 50-year-old star’s ribs.

The autopsy also found unexplained BRUISING on Jackson’s knees and on the fronts of both shins. And there were CUTS on his back, indicating a recent fall.

The King of Pop’s once handsome face bore a network of plastic surgery scars, while the bridge to his nose had vanished and its right side had partially collapsed.

As inquiries into the tragedy last night focused on the star’s personal physician Dr Conrad Murray, a source close to the Jackson entourage said: “Michael’s family and fans will be horrified when they realise the appalling state he was in.

“He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out and had been eating nothing but pills when he died. Injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he’d been in terminal decline for years.

“His doctors and the hangers-on stood by as he self-destructed. Somebody is going to have to pay.”

Cardiologist Dr Murray was thought to have given Jackson the final injection of painkiller Demerol.

He is facing serious questions about his resuscitation attempts, which began when he started CPR as Jacko lay unconscious on a bed. Basic first aid guidance says patients must be face-up on a hard surface before compressions.

Experts yesterday expressed amazement that a trained cardiologist could have made such an error, potentially wasting vital minutes.

Additional damage was believed to have been caused by oxygen masks and tubing inserted during resuscitation attempts. But in an ironic twist, the probe found Jacko was recovering well from skin cancer — with an op to shave cells from his chest a total success.

A second autopsy demanded by the Jackson family was carried out at a secret location on Saturday after the first ruled out foul play.

Family friend Rev Jesse Jackson said the family were deeply suspicious about what caused his death.

Dr Murray was hired just 11 days ago by AEG Live — the firm masterminding Jacko’s 50-date residency at London’s O2 Arena, which was due to start next month.

Sources claimed the family were preparing a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the cardiologist.

Detectives were unable to find the doctor at Jackson’s home and his car was taken away for analysis as police sought him for questioning. He surfaced late on Friday and was quizzed over the weekend.

The Sun told on Saturday how Jacko had developed stage fright for the first time and was terrified of performing the comeback gigs.

Aides claimed the ailing star even believed he would be KILLED if he pulled out on health grounds. We also revealed he was taking a potentially toxic cocktail of drugs.

Sources last night said prescriptions for drugs for patients other than Jacko were found at his home. Those patients were due to be quizzed.

More than 1 million seek tix for Jackson memorial

2009-07-04T19:19:00.000-07:00

More than 1.2 million people have now registered to get tickets for Michael Jackson's memorial service next week.

Only 11,000 tickets will be given out for the Tuesday service at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. Another 6,500 tickets will be given away for the Nokia Theater overflow section next door.

The only way to get tickets is to register for free at staplescenter.com. After 6 p.m. Saturday, 8,750 names will be randomly selected to receive two tickets each.

Notifications will go out on Sunday.

City officials are preparing for massive crowds. Assistant Police Chief Earl Paysinger says anywhere from a quarter-million to 700,000 people may try to reach the arena, even though a wide area around Staples Center will be sealed off to those without tickets.

City Councilwoman Jan Perry strongly urged people to stay home and watch the memorial on TV. The ceremony will not be shown on Staples' giant outdoor TV screen and there will be no funeral procession through the city.

No details were given about the actual memorial events, which come as the nation's second-largest city struggles with a $530 million budget deficit. Perry said the cost of police protection for "extraordinary" events like the memorial is built into the Police Department's budget, but she still solicited help for "incremental costs."

Last month, donations covered about $850,000 of the city's $1 million cost for the Los Angeles Lakers' NBA championship parade. Critics had blasted the idea of using city money when it is considering layoffs to close its budget gap.

Jackson Interview Transcript

2009-06-20T14:06:00.000-07:00

For most of his life, Michael Jackson has been in the spotlight, most recently because of what has been described as bizarre behavior -— bizarre behavior that has now led him to be charged with sexually molesting a 13-year-old boy. If convicted, he could spend 20 years in prison.

Now out on bail and awaiting trial, tonight Michael Jackson speaks out for the first time about his arrest, his accuser and the charges that have, for the moment, made his life a shambles.

We sat down with Michael Jackson on Christmas Day at a hotel in Los Angeles –one of several cities where he has been in seclusion since authorities in Santa Barbara officially charged him with seven counts of sexual molestation and two counts of using an “intoxicating agent” — reported to be alcohol — to seduce the boy.

ED BRADLEY: What is your response to the allegations that were brought by the district attorney in Santa Barbara, that you molested this boy?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Totally false. Before I would hurt a child, I would slit my wrists. I would never hurt a child It's totally false. I was outraged. I could never do something like that

ED BRADLEY: This is a kid you knew?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Yes.

ED BRADLEY: How would you characterize your relationship with this boy?

MICHAEL JACKSON: I've helped many, many, many children, thousands of children, cancer kids, leukemia kids. This is one of many.

Michael Jackson says his accuser is among thousands of children he’s invited to his 2,600—acre Neverland Ranch in California to play in his amusement park, visit his zoo, watch movies, play video games, and feast on their favorite foods.

ED BRADLEY: But tell me why you developed Neverland.

MICHAEL JACKSON: Because I wanted to have a place that I could create everything that I that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see animals. There's a movie theater. I was always on tour, traveling. You know? And — I never got a chance to do those things. So, I compensated for the loss by — I have a good — I mean, I can't go into a park. I can't go to Disneyland, as myself. I can't go out and walk down the street. There's crowds, and bumper to bumper cars. And so, I create my world behind my gates. Everything that I love is behind those gates. We have elephants, and giraffes, and crocodiles, and every kind of tigers and lions. And — and we have bus loads of kids, who don't get to see those things. They come up sick children, and enjoy it. They enjoy it in a pure, loving, fun way. It's people with the dirty mind that think like that. I don't think that way. That's not me.

ED BRADLEY: And — and do you think people look at you and think that way today?

MICHAEL JACKSON: If they have a sick mind, yeah. And if they believe the trash they read in newspapers, yeah. And — and it's not — what — just cause — remember something. Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's the gospel. People write negatives things, cause they feel that's what sells. Good news to them, doesn't sell.

And Jackson says his relationship with this boy he first met a year ago was positive. He says he was determined to help him with his battle against cancer.

ED BRADLEY: So when he would come over what would he do? What would you do?

MICHAEL JACKSON: I'll tell you exactly. When I first saw him, he was total bald—headed, white as snow from the chemotherapy, very bony, looked anorexic, no eyebrows, no eyelashes. And he was so weak, I would have to carry him from the house to the game room, or push him in a wheelchair, to try to give him a childhood, a life. Cause I felt bad. Because I never had that chance, too, as a child. You know? That the— and so, I know what it— it felt like in that way. Not being sick, but not having had a childhood. So, my heart go out to those children I feel their pain.

Jackson says he tried to help in the healing process by taking the boy around the grounds of Neverland to Jackson’s favorite places.

MICHAEL JACKSON: He had never really climbed a tree. So, I had this tree that I have at Neverland. I call it, "My Giving Tree." Cause I like to write songs up there. I've written many songs up there. So, I said, "You have to climb a tree. That's part of boyhood. You just gotta do it." And — I helped him up. And once he went up — up the tree, we looked down on the branches. And it was so beautiful. It was magical. And he loved it. To give him a chance to have a life, you know? Because he was told he was going to die. They told him. They told his — his parents prepare for his funeral, that's how bad it was. And I put him on a program. I've helped many children doing this. I put him on a mental program.

The boy — whose name and face we’re not revealing — has credited Michael Jackson’s friendship and support with helping him to battle his cancer. And last February in a British documentary that was filmed before the boy alleged he was sexually molested — he said that he had stayed overnight at Jackson’s home many times, and had slept in his bedroom.

JACKSON ACCUSER: There was one night, I asked him if I could stay in the bedroom. And he let me stay in the bedroom. And I was like, Michael, you can sleep on the bed. And he was like, no, no you sleep in the bed. And then he finally said, ‘Okay, if you love me, you’ll sleep on the bed.’ I was like, ‘Oh, man.’ And so I finally slept on the bed.

That comment – along with Michael Jackson’s startling confession that he had shared his bed many times with children – spurred an investigation last February by the Los Angeles county department of children and family services, which interviewed the boy and his mother to determine whether he had been sexually molested by Michael Jackson.

According an agency’s memo, “the child denied any form of sexual abuse,” and “the investigation by the sensitive case unit concluded the allegations of neglect and sexual abuse to be unfounded.” Over the next several months, relations between the boy’s family and Michael Jackson deteriorated. According to sources close to the family, the boy’s mother had suspicions that Jackson was serving alcohol to her 13-year-old son, who was still suffering from cancer. Eventually she took her suspicions to the district attorney and that led to a full scale investigation by his office and the Santa Barbara County Sheriff.

SHERRIFF JIM ANDERSON: An arrest warrant for Mr. Jackson has been issued on multiple counts of child molestation. The bail amount of the award has been set at 3 million dollars.

REPORTER: If Michael Jackson’s watching this right now, what’s your message to him?

DISTRICT ATTORNEY THOMAS SNEDDON: Get over here and get checked in.

With that announcement two weeks ago, Michael Jackson’s future and his career were in serious jeopardy. He surrendered to authorities and was booked on child molestation charges of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child.

ED BRADLEY: What was going through your mind when you're taken into a police station, in handcuffs, to have a mug shot taken, that you know is gonna be shown around the world?

MICHAEL JACKSON: They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I— I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting.

ED BRADLEY: What happened when they arrested you? What did they do to you?

MICHAEL JACKSON: They were supposed to go in, and just check fingerprints, and do the whole thing that they do when they take somebody in. They manhandled me very roughly. My shoulder is dislocated, literally. It's hurting me very badly. I'm in pain all the time. This is, see this arm? This is as far as I can reach it. Same with this side over here.

ED BRADLEY: Because of what happened at the police station?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Yeah. Yeah. At the police station. And what they did to me — if you — if you saw what they did to my arms — it was very bad what they did. It's very swollen. I don't wanna say. You'll see. You'll see.

We were given a photograph said to be taken after Michael Jackson was released on bail. Jackson says the swelling above his wrist is where the police handcuffed him.

ED BRADLEY: How did they do it? I mean, what, physically, what did they do?

MICHAEL JACKSON: With the handcuffs, the way they tied 'em too tight behind my back —

ED BRADLEY: Behind your back?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Yeah. And putting it, they put it in a certain position, knowing that it's going to hurt, and affect my back. Now I can't move. I — I — it keeps me from sleeping at night. I can't sleep at night.

And Jackson says there was more …

MICHAEL JACKSON: Then one time, I asked to use the restroom. And they said, "Sure, it's right around the corner there." Once I went in the restroom, they locked me in there for like 45 minutes. There was doo doo, feces thrown all over the walls, the floor, the ceiling. And it stunk so bad. Then one of the policemen came by the window. And he made a sarcastic remark. He said, "Smell — does it smell good enough for you in there? How do you like the smell? Is it good?" And I just simply said, "It's alright. It's okay." So, I just sat there, and waited.

ED BRADLEY: For 45 minutes?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Yeah, for 45 minutes. About 45 minutes. And then — then one cop would — come by, and say, "Oh, you'll be out in — in a second. You'll be out in a second." Then there would be another ten minutes added on, then another 15 minutes added on. They did this on purpose.

What about Jackson's allegations? Was he mistreated? Did the police injure his arm and shoulder? Did they lock him in a bathroom for 45 minutes? To get answers to those questions, we made repeated calls to both the sheriff's office and the office of the district attorney. They declined our request for an interview and referred us to the statement on their Web site, which says about allegations of mistreatment: "That is not true." It was the sheriff's deputies who executed the search warrant of the Neverland ranch.

ED BRADLEY: How did you feel when they went into Neverland, I mean, with a search warrant? I mean, what were they looking for? What did they take?

MICHAEL JACKSON: My room is a complete wreck. My workers told me. They said, "Michael, don't go in your room." They were crying on the phone, my employees. They said, "If you saw your room, you would cry." I have stairs that go up to my bed. And they said, "You can't even get up the stairs. The room is totally trashed." And they had 80 policemen in this room, 80 policemen in one bedroom. That's really overdoing it. They took knives, and cut open my mattresses with knives. C — just cut everything open.

ED BRADLEY: Did — did they take anything from Neverland?

MICHAEL JACKSON: A— I'm not sure what they took. They never gave me a list.

ED BRADLEY: But you're saying that they destroyed your property?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Yes, they did. And then they, what they did was they made everybody that work at the property, they locked everybody out of the house. They had the whole house to themselves to do whatever they wanted. And — they totally took advantage. They went into areas they weren't supposed to go into — like my office. They didn't have search warrants for those places. And they totally took advantage. And the room is a total, total wreck, they told me. I don't think I wanna see it. I'm not ready to see it yet.

ED BRADLEY: So, you haven't been back there?

MICHAEL JACKSON: I've been back there. But not in my bedroom. I won't live there ever again. I'll visit Neverland. It's a house now. It's not a home anymore. I'll only visit there. What time is it? Cause I'm hurting. You know what? I'm — I'm hurting. I have to go pretty soon anyway. Yeah. Okay. I don't feel good.

This is not the first time Michael Jackson has been accused of child molestation. Ten years ago, he was accused of sexually abusing another young boy. However, after the boy refused to testify, and after Jackson paid the boy’s family millions of dollars to settle a civil lawsuit, Jackson was never charged. Although the family in the current case against him has filed no lawsuit and says it does not intend to, Michael Jackson is still suspicious of their motives.

MICHAEL JACKSON: Somewhere greed got in there, and somebody — I — I can't quite say. But it has to do with money. It's Michael Jackson. Look what we have here. We can get money out of this. That's exactly what happened.

ED BRADLEY: You had helped him with his cancer. What I don't understand is why today and I know you say it’s money, but why would he turn around and say, "Michael Jackson sexually molested me," if it weren't true?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this isn't him. This is not him.

ED BRADLEY: So, you don't think this comes from him? This —

MICHAEL JACKSON: No.

ED BRADLEY: — Comes from his parents?

MICHAEL JACKSON: No. This is not him. No. I know his heart.

Jackson said that even if he could, he would never settle this case as he did when similar charges were made in 1993.

ED BRADLEY: So — if you were innocent, why would you pay, I mean, to keep you quiet? I mean, why not go into court, and fight for your good name? I mean —

MICHAEL JACKSON: I'm not allowed to talk on that —

MARK GERAGOS: I'm gonna stop you for a second.

ED BRADLEY: Sure.

Jackson’s high powered attorney Mark Geragos told me that if I wanted an answer to that question I’d have to ask him.

MARK GERAGOS: I mean remember what happened to him ten years ago. He was humiliated. He was — he went through where somebody — was examining him. Was photographing him. Was having him — humiliating him in the worst way in terms of looking at his private parts and photographing his private parts. And — and he was subjected to some of the most, just intrusive kinds of things that you could ever imagine. I can only try to put myself into that situation and — and say look, if money could make that situation go away, maybe that — that was the calculus then. I don't know and I don't wanna second guess it.

ED BRADLEY: But — but what you end up with is the public perception that this has happened not once, this has happened twice. That young boys have — have come forward to accuse him of — of sexual molestation over the last ten years. And he has made public comments about how he enjoys sharing his bed with children. Can you understand how the public might feel that, hey, maybe there's something here. There's a lot of smoke.

MARK GERAGOS: Well, look. There's a lot of smoke. But a lot of the people who blow the smoke are — are twisting what's happened. I understand when people say, now, there's somebody else who came forward. But I — I think, in all fairness, most people get it. Most people understand that this case is not about anything but money.

We asked the mother of the accuser who made these latest allegations to tell us her side of the story, but she declined and would not authorize anyone else to speak on her behalf.

ED BRADLEY: That British documentary last February — which you didn't like —

MICHAEL JACKSON: Yeah, I didn't like it.

ED BRADLEY: You — you said in that documentary that— that many children have slept in your bedroom.

MICHAEL JACKSON: Yeah.

ED BRADLEY: You said, and — and I'm gonna quote here, "Why can't you share your bed? A most loving thing to do is to share your bed with— with someone."

MICHAEL JACKSON: Yes.

ED BRADLEY: As — as we sit here today, do you still think that it's acceptable to share your bed with children?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Of course. Of course. Why not? If you're gonna be a pedophile, if you're gonna be Jack the Ripper, if you're gonna be a murderer, it's not a good idea. That I'm not. That's how we were raised. And I met — I didn't sleep in the bed with the child. Even if I did, it's okay. I slept on the floor. I give the bed to the child.

ED BRADLEY: But given all that you've been through —

MICHAEL JACKSON: Yeah?

ED BRADLEY: Given the allegations, given the innuendo — why would you put yourself in a position where something like this could happen again?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Well, I'm always more cautious. But I will never stop helping and loving people the way Jesus said to. He said, "Continue to love. Always love. Remember children. Imitate the children." Not childish, but childlike.

That may sound naïve, but Jackson attorney Mark Geragos says they did take precautions.

MARK GERAGOS: They were, at all times during that February 7 to March 10 period of time, whenever Michael was there, there was always a third party around. Always.

ED BRADLEY: What about the allegation that some kind of intoxicating agent, said to be wine, was given to this child to make him more pliable?

MARK GERAGOS: Ludicrous. I mean it's ludicrous on its face. There are in excess of 100 employees at any one time at that ranch. There is full—time security at that ranch. There are people who are there at all times, day and night, 24—7, who are specifically instructed to make sure that people don't do that. The kids are nowhere near alcohol and liquor.

ED BRADLEY: You're a parent. You've got three children.

MICHAEL JACKSON: Yes.

ED BRADLEY: Would you allow your children to sleep in the bed with a grown man, who was not a relative, or to sleep in the bedroom?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Sure, if I know that person, trust them, and love them. That's happened many times with me when I was little.

ED BRADLEY: Would you, as a parent, allow your children to sleep in the same bedroom with someone, who has the suspicions and allegations that have been made against you, and about you today? Would you allow that?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Someone —

ED BRADLEY: If you knew someone, who had the same —

MICHAEL JACKSON: I'm not —

ED BRADLEY: —kind of allegations —

MICHAEL JACKSON: Ed, I — I know exactly what you're saying.

ED BRADLEY: — that were made against you — would you let your children —

MICHAEL JACKSON: My children?

ED BRADLEY: — sleep in that man's bedroom?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Mmm, if I — if I knew the person personally. Cause I know how the press is, and how people can twist the truth, if I knew the person personally, absolutely yes. Absolutely. I wouldn't have a problem with it.

ED BRADLEY: Do you know how this looks to a lot of people? I mean, do you understand that?

MICHAEL JACKSON: How does what look?

ED BRADLEY: How the fact that you —

MICHAEL JACKSON: Know why? People think sex. They're thinking sex. My mind doesn't run that way. When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see.

ED BRADLEY: Do you know any other man your age, a 45-year-old man, who shares his bedroom with children?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Of course. Not for sex. No. That's wrong.

ED BRADLEY: Well, let me — let me say, from my perspective, my experience, I don't know any 45-year-old men, who are not relatives of the children, who share their bedroom with other children.

MICHAEL JACKSON: Well, what's wrong with sharing your bed? I didn't say I slept in the bed. Even if I did sleep in the bed, it's okay. I am not going to do anything sexual to a child. It's not where my heart is. I would never do anything like that. That's not Michael Jackson. I'm sorry. That's someone else.

And the Michael Jackson of today is not the Michael Jackson who at one time was the No. 1 pop star in the world. His "Thriller" CD topped the charts, while his latest didn’t crack the top 10.

ED BRADLEY: What — what has this done to your career?

MICHAEL JACKSON: What — what has it done to my career?

ED BRADLEY: What has it done to your career?

MICHAEL JACKSON: In what way?

ED BRADLEY: How has it impacted — you know —

MICHAEL JACKSON: I'm — my album —

ED BRADLEY: — touring, record sales —

MICHAEL JACKSON: — album is number one all over the world. All over the world. America is the only one, because I — I don't wanna say too much.

ED BRADLEY: But it's not number one in the United States?

MICHAEL JACKSON: It's a conspiracy. Yeah. I’m getting tired.

Before Michael Jackson’s attorneys stopped the interview, we were able to ask him one last question.

ED BRADLEY: Michael, what would you say to you — your fans, who have supported you through all of this, and — and who today, some of them might have questions? What would you say to them?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Well, I would tell them I love them very much. And I— I— they've learned about me, and know about me from a distance. But if you really want to know about me, there's a song I wrote, which is the most honest song I've ever written. It's the most autobiographical song I've ever written. It's called, "Childhood." They should listen to it. That's the one they really should listen to. And thank you for your support, the fans around the world. I love you with all my heart. I don't take any of it for granted. Any of it. And I love them dearly, all over the world.

Michael Jackson will make his first appearance in court on Jan. 16 when is arraigned. He is expected to plead not guilty.

Michael Jackson Talks To Access Hollywood in the Studio

2009-06-20T14:02:00.000-07:00

The below is a transcript of an interview between Michael Jackson and Access Hollwood's Billy Bush that aired on Thursday, November 2nd.

Billy Bush: Michael invited me to Ireland, to observe him, as he got back into the studio. Can lightning strike twice for the King of Pop?

Michael insisted this was NOT a formal interview. He wanted us to be more like flies on the wall. Let's face it, the way Michael sees it, when a camera and microphone has charmed its way into his personal space, it has turned out badly for him.

So with that in mind, we agreed to just turn the cameras on.

(Cuts to footage of Michael in the studio, and walking around around Irish estate with Billy Bush and Will.I.Am from the Black Eyed Peas, with a new track playing in the background)

BB: So this is really a kind of an exploratory mission. You (pointing at Michael) deciding to get back into making music...

Michael Jackson: (Smiling) I never stopped... I'm always writing a potpourri of music, you know, it's how it is.

BB: (Voiceover) Relaxed, and ready to return.

(Cuts to footage of Michael laughing)

BB: (To Will.I.Am) Let's hear it.

(Will.I.Am starts playing a track he has prepared for Michael)

BB: (Voiceover) That, is the Michael Jackson we found when Access journeyed over 5000 miles to this classic old Irish estate (footage on screen) outside of Dublin. The stone manor is built to rock with a state of the art recording studio. But it's because of the beauty of the emerald landscape that Michael chose to be here.

(Cuts to footage of BB in grounds of the estate)

BB: What goes on on these grounds is a lot of exercise and walking and horse back riding. Michael wakes up in the morning, he makes porridge for his kids, which is oatmeal, and fruit. All the food is organically grown here. The amazing thing is, is that the man that is known as the P.T. Barnum of the recording industry (everything done big and extravagant) is really sort of dialling it back... to the roots.

(Cuts to more footage of Michael in the studio)

BB: (Voiceover) Michael is on the search for fresh sounds and Black Eyed Peas leader Will.I.Am is the man with the beats.

(Footage of Will.I.Am and Michael nodding away to a track that is being played)

BB: Will, we were talking a little earlier, you got a phone call on the tour bus, right? Someone said, "Mike's on the phone..."

Will: I was like, "no, come one, stop playing around." I didn't know it. I thought somebody was joking.

BB: So this is like eh, this is baby steps? Of just checking out what may be a collaboration or some work together?

Michael: Yeah, yes.

BB: Why Will?

Michael: Because I think he's doing wonderful, innovative, positive great music. Thought it'd be interesting to collaborate or just, you know, see how the chemistry works... be wonderful.

Will: This is like, a dream come true for me, you know.

BB: (To Michael) Does he take your advice well?

Michael: (Nodding and smiling) Yeah, we uh, yeah we...

(Will.I.Am interrupts, Michael laughs)

Will: I have... you have to take advice from the King of Pop.

(Billy Bush laughs)

Michael: I like to take sounds and put them on a microscope and just talk about how we wanna manipulate the character of it.

BB: (Voiceover) Will brought something new to the table, while keeping that classic Michael sound intact.

Will: (To Michael about the music playing) Living 'Off the Wall' with them kind of strings... (smiles)

Michael: Oh yeah, yeah, 'Off the Wall' yes.

(Laughter all around)

BB: (Voiceover) If Michael likes what he hears, he'll add his own musical touches. But for now, the two (Michael and Will) work the board, weaving out a sound and tapestry - layer by layer.

Michael: Pretend we're technically inclined. (Laughter all round)

BB: (Voiceover) Do NOT doubt his (Michael's) tech savvy, Michael knows his way around a recording studio AND our new digital camera.

(Footage of Michael holding a camera from the Access Hollywood crew)

Michael: That's a beauty. You can edit within the camera...

BB: Film me.

Michael: So s...

BB: Can you operate it?

Michael: Uh, I don't know, ok yeah... (points camera at Billy Bush)

BB: Are you a technology...

Michael: Yeah, I love cameras...

BB: Love the action?

Michael: Yeah. Love it. It's a beauty. (Starts to put camera down, turns to crew member) What's the price of this one on retail?

Crew member: $6,000.

Michael: Wow!

BB: (Voiceover) But what really impressed Michael? Will's music.

(Footage of Michael bopping his head to the music before it stops)

BB: What you think there?

Michael: They're very nice grooves...

Will: Alright...

Michael: I like the chords, I like what you did.

Will: That's a... that's a club banger.

BB: Yeah...

Will: That's what they call that one.

(Music starts playing again, Will and Michael move to the music)

BB: (Voiceover) Will's beats are infectious, and an enthusiastic Michael could NOT contain himself.

(Cuts to footage of Michael moving to other side of studio to dance a few steps)

Michael: (To Billy Bush) Do you feel you have enough (footage)?

BB: I could go forever Michael. (Laughter all round) You don't wanna ask me that Michael.

The below is a transcript of an interview between Michael Jackson and Access Hollwood's Billy Bush that aired on Friday, November 3rd.

Billy Bush: Yesterday, in Part 1 of my exclusive in-studio visit, you saw a mixed Michael. He chose his words carefully. But when super producer Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas turned on the beats, Michael came alive!

There is no doubt in my mind that Jackson is coming back, but how? Amazingly, he hasn't really thought about it.

(Cuts to footage of inside the studio)

BB: There was nothing ever bigger than (Thriller) that. That is the biggest album ever.

(Cuts to footage of Thriller video before returning to studio)

BB: If you went back and took it to a second chapter...

Michael Jackson: That's a great idea.

(Cuts to footage of Billie Jean video)

BB: (Voiceover) Imagine Michael Jackson re-visiting Thriller. Remix, DVD's, Web Saturation. The sky's gotta be the limit with the biggest selling album with nearly 100 million copies worldwide.

(Returns to studio)

BB: Is that the first time you've heard of it? I mean like, or or, have you thought that...

Michael: No I haven't really thought about it in that way but I would give it more thought. We haven't really discussed it yet, on that level, but I'm sure at some point we will. But it's a great thought.

BB: Feel like I'm a collaborator here.

Michael: Yeah, yeah, you are...

(Laughter all round)

BB: I get a credit...

Michael: You are.

BB: I might get a credit.

(Cuts to footage of Michael, Will.I.Am and Billy Bush walking around Irish estate with new track produced by Will.I.Am playing in the background)

BB: (Voiceover) For right now Michael is focused on creating and not re-creating. And it is right here at this recording studio on the sprawling classic old Irish estate outside of Dublin where Michael has teamed up with Black Eyed Peas leader Will.I.Am to take his music to the next level.

(Cuts back to studio)

BB: Do you see something big with the music that you make again, or getting that ground swell going? Doing clubs and intimate things and getting it bigger and bigger and bigger?

Michael: Jee, you know I'm not sure, on that level.

Will.I.Am: I can answer that direct (as) a fan...

(Michael points at Will.I.Am)

BB: Go ahead.

Will.I.Am: Big!

(Cuts to footage of Michael dancing away to the music before returning)

Will.I.Am: Something needs to put a jolt back in the music industry. And the only thing that can do that is the jolt itself. The energy that sparked the imagination of the kids that are... me, you know, the Justin Timberlake's, we're all products of this. (Motions to Michael) So the only person that can put that jolt back in to that monstrosity of entertainment and music is the one who created that. (Motions to Michael again)

(Cuts to footage of Don't Stop 'till You Get Enough video)

BB: (Voiceover) But what about those people Michael inspired...

(Cuts to footage of Justin Timberlake's Rock Your Body video)

BB: (Voiceover) ...to aspire?

(Cuts back to the studio)

BB: Michael, I would love to hear what you thought of Justin Timberlake or something like that, because he's the closest thing to Michael Jackson I think today. You know what I mean?

Michael: I think Justin's doing a wonderful job, as well as Usher (Michael smiles) it's great to see. I'm inspired by what they do, and I'm sure I've inspired them. It's very nice.

Michael Jackson Interviews

2009-06-20T13:46:00.000-07:00

Michael Jackson rarely gives interviews. He does not feel comfortable giving interviews. Most often journalists would want to question him on on false stories they have made and generated interest in in the past to sell newspapers and thus doing so portraying a false impression of Michael Jackson to the general public. Although when Michael Jackson does do an interview it does give us the fans an insight into the man himself.
