[DANGEROUS-x]

Feb.3 Super Bowl XLII TV Spot

So what does it mean by a TV spot? :eek::crazylol:

[TomV87]

None of it mentions MJ being in any of it

The superbowl spot may be an advert?? or something to do with akon performing the WBSS song?

[outsider 777]

advert to be shown

[bexy]

i reckon michael is gonna turn up at the grammys :lol:

[*~*Filthy Gorgeous*~*]

I'm guessing just an advert to advertise it but not MJ himself.

luv
#ashleigh#

[Thrillerchick3]

That's great news! For a minute there I thought MJ was gonna be on the Superbowl :lol:
Even tho he isn't gonna be on there I'm happy enough they'll show it during the Superbowl! :D

[bexy]

i have just realised normally the in the UK the superbowl is shown live on either ITV or channel 5 so we got all the american adverts but this year apparently BBC1 has it

the one year i wanna watch the stupid adverts :lol2:

[KashieLuvzMichael]

:ohmy:

So is he performing at the superbowl or not?

[EsaAngel]

oh that sounds very nice, have to turn on the tv , to see.

[MiniMichael]

I doubt hes performing, just a T25 advertising spot, which in its own way would be HUGE publicity as like...IDK atleast 100 million people will watch the superbowl!!

ANOTHER UPDATE from MJJC

Source: Epic and www.legacyrecordings.com
Email was sent to radio stations.
25th Anniversary BONUS TRACKS HISTORY was also sent out. (see below)

25th Anniversary Michael Jackson THRILLER
bonus tracks


In addition to the original 9 songs, 7 bonus tracks have been added to the biggest selling album of all time THRILLER .

The following is an explanation/description of these new, all previously unreleased, bonus tracks.


1. Vincent Price voice over and ghoulish laughter.

2. ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ 2008’ – Michael Jackson with Akon.
This is a new track produced by Akon and Michael, featuring Akon’s vocal and a brand new 2008 MJ vocal track.
Not a remix but a new version of this classic.

3. ‘P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) 2008’ – Michael with will.i.am.
This is not a remix of the original album track, in fact it is a different song - although the chorus is similar - written entirely by Michael. It was the original pre-album demo, and it is now remixed by MJ and will and features added will.i.am vocals and production.

4. ‘The Girl Is Mine 2008’ – Michael with will.i.am.
This new version is based on an earlier demo than the MJ and Paul McCartney album classic. This is not a remix of the album track but a whole new previously unreleased track – reproduced and mixed anew by MJ and will and features a will.i.am rap.

5. ‘Billie Jean 2008’ – remixed by Kanye West.
A new remix of the mega-hit, from the original tracks.

6. ‘Beat It 2008’ with Fergie.
This new version is both a remix and a new track – Michael’s vocals and most of the instruments are derived from the original sensational album track. Fergie’s vocal, additional band tracks and the production by will.i.am and MJ are new.

7. ‘For All Time’
This beautiful new classic was recorded by Michael in 1982 and never completed or released. He has now completed the song and added to the original production with new vocals and band tracks. Majestically mixed by Mick Guzawski, this newly produced track by MJ is a worthy addition and appropriate closer to THRILLER – the biggest selling album of all time – ‘For All Time.

AND

From TSCM

Although I didn't bother posting because I wasn't 100% convinced of its authenticity, Diane Dimond (yes her, and yes she's still obsessed with Michael Jackson ) posted this same information about the tracks and promotional plans several days ago. I guess she also got the memo from a radio station...

For what it's worth, and since most everything else has been confirmed by a separate source, here are a few other details that DD posted, supposedly from these Sony-BMG memos:


INFO > >
"On top of all the fantastic new tracks there are many things in the works that we are going to do to make 2008 truly the year of THRILLER," according to the SONY-BMG memo traffic. Specifically mentioned: Grammy involvement (as in Michael Jackson will appear – and maybe sing?) – A planned TV special (featuring just Michael or the long discussed reunion with his brothers?) and potential live shows. Hmmmmmm. Wonder what they mean by that and who might be scheduled to perform at these live shows? Watch for involvement with YouTube, Facebook, iLike, iTunes, I’ve learned.

Also on the planning plate: A mid-February BET Honors tribute to Michael Jackson and a major new TV, Radio, Online and Outdoor advertising campaign to launch February 8th...

LATE INFO JUST IN ON THIS: There's a possibility - a POSSIBILITY - that Michael Jackson may appear in a SUPERBOWL commerical! It's unconfirmed right now but I'm told MJ cut a TV commerical for a company that makes specialized beverages and the plan is to unveil the finished product during the highly anticipated telecast on February [3rd]...

[VinceWilliam]

sounds complete and ready for me to purchase:yes:

[DTH'tje]

Good news :D

[Javan]

[Dangerous2000watts]

I don't like the song:brow:
anyway it would be huge Good for Michael and our fandom

[kingofpop07]

Yeah I agree but lets hope that the new album and this Thriller 25 album gives MJ the recognition he deserves and bumps his career back into the public eye in a positive way :)

[mjgrl4ever]

Oh wow this really makes me wonder....I mean a commercial?? could it be of michael and an upcoming release...I guess that means I'm watching super bowl this year:crazylol:

[KashieLuvzMichael]

omg ima be po'd if theres no commercial. 4 hours of my life wasted on football :(

[Stacey]

Aw cool! Hope I get to see it somehow! Michael's coming back. :wub:

[Captain3o]

Gives me a reason to watch the Super Bowl. Last time I watched was when Janet appeared.

[Sasha01]

HMMM. :hmm::crazylol: I really wonder if there's a commercial. :ohmy:

[MJIsMyLife]

I like the fact that there's loads of tributes going on for MJ and stuff, but i'd love to see Michael himself, too :(

.......................you will see him,I'm sure of that!!!:bighug:

[EsaAngel]

ok if this is true, because I have not heard anything about it, I will be sure to tape it.

[Rawr]

Whether or not this is true, while I was getting excited and counting the days (had to ask a friend if January was a 30 month or a 31 month), someone asked me what was coming up, and I told them it might be some big Michael Jackson stuff. :) One thing led to another, and I had 5 kids (even two who can be REALLY immature) listening intently and asking questions about Michael. I got to explain vitiligo properly, his kids, and part of the 1993 case. :happy:

I'm so glad I fixed my TiVo box!! Just in time! :D

[wendijane]

alright
thanx for posting

[DANGEROUS-x]

:O They don't air superbowl over here, but I'm sure it'll pop up on youtube somewhere :D

[KashieLuvzMichael]

Unconfirmed, but Fox News says there'll be a remix of Thriller at the superbowl. :crazylol:

[T-L-C]

Unconfirmed, but Fox News says there'll be a remix of Thriller at the superbowl. :crazylol:

[Rawr]

Unconfirmed, but Faux News says there'll be a remix of Thriller at the superbowl. :crazylol:

Seriously, they all hire dumbasses who don't know anything, whether it's about Michael or about Mass Effect. I won't even get my hopes up.

[DarkPassion]

[Wesley]

OMG! EVERYONE is talking about this. Its in the papers and even casual fans are talking about this. Its amazing that Michael can get everyone excited just for a commercial. Reminds me of back in the 80s.

I can't wait :smile:

[tinker*bell]

I read that Michael is going to premier a special Pepsi commercial to advertise Thriller 25 at the Superbowl.

I've heard on E! News Live that Justin is making a Pepsi commercial for the Superbowl... :hmm:
I don't know what to believe anymore... :lol2:


Anyways...
Wow! So much speculation!! So much gossip. So many rumours being created.
Michael Mania is gaining its force, guys!! :crazylol:

No, not today, as in February 2nd. It was supposed to happen February 1st. Yesterday. What happened? I'm starting to lose hope in this email.

For those of you who are wondering, the Super Bowl is February 3, 6:30 PM EST (23:30 UTC)

EST is 5 hours behind London (GMT), so that'd be 11:30 GMT.

This lists all the International channels that the Super Bowl will be appearing on. :yes:

not sure they showed some of the adverts when they used to show the superbowl on channel 5 but i dunno if they will now that it is on the bbc :mellow:

the preview of the advert looks intresting i dunno how else to describe it what the hell do lizards have to do with thriller :toofunny:

[Rawr]

:ohmy: I wanna see it sooo bad now!

I didn't really get it though, dancing lizards? :eek: :lol:

Thanks for posting!

PepsiCo is the parent company for SoBe, a REALLYGOOD drink, and SoBe also releases LifeWater. SoBe's main trademark is including lizard references in their products, such as having messages under their bottle caps.

"Save the lizard... Save the world" (Heroes, NBC, "Save the cheerleader... Save the world")
"The Good, The Bad, The Lizards" (Clint Eastwood movie, "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly")
"Mind, Body, Lizard" ("Mind, Body, Spirit" I think)
"Full Metal Lizard" ("Full Metal Jacket" or "Full Metal Alchemist")
"Do the Lizards have large talons?" (Napoleon Dynamite, "Do the chickens have large talons?")
"Apocalizard Now" ("Apocalypse Now")

Thanks, Tom. :yes: I'm disappointed Akon said Mike won't be in it, but at least it's something and I really hope that in some way (other than merely playing Thriller) it promotes Thriller 25.

OMG I've just got tons of ideas that Pepsi could be pulling... I know none of them will come true because I'm just that unlucky, but... What if Pepsi said, "Oh, buy LifeWater/SoBe and see if you've won a code to get TGIM (or WBSS, whichever they chose) for free on PepsiStuff!" :crazylol: (Note: PepsiStuff is like their own prize center)
Drink companies do this ALL the time with other prizes... why not T25 prizes?

Edit: LOOK!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dprQVQ3wOU This is sort of like what I'm explaining. :D

http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=ps_hm_all_mp3?node=387890011 (Which is found from PepsiStuff's website)
That even has Billie Jean (Single Version) as one of the featured MP3's. :eek:

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here, but hey, hope's a nice drug. :happy:

Pepsi sponsors my school so we have tons of Pepsi drinks (including SoBe, not sure if they have LifeWater) everywhere! :D

I hope i can watch -_- so much homework

I feel your pain. I have 2 weeks of homework to catch up on and my mom won't let me watch the Super Bowl unless it's all finished... I have 5 more hours... Ugh.

[Sasha01]

OMG. I can't wait. :toofunny::crazylol:

I've just read an article from google about the superbowl where Akon was giving a statement about it.. he said that michaels asked him to do the commercial and that he's not in it.. apparently it's meant to be funny but cool. I don't know if it's the truth so I guess we'll have to wait and see. :huh:

[Liquid47]

MJ is a genius. :lol:

[tinker*bell]

Hmmm... I don't know.

I liked the commercial. It was cute and funny and all.

[Selena_J]

[tinker*bell]

did anyone else think the 1/2 time show was boring :lol:

Who got to perform anyway?
Paula Abdul and Randy? :unsure:

[Thrillerchick3]

No it was Tom Petty....all of my family went to go eat in the kitchen when it came on and only recognized one of his songs :lol:

[bexy]

yeah it was a disappointment compared to what Prince did last year but then i think they would have been hard pushed to do better than Prince singing purple rain in the rain which looked purple because of the lights but i dunno it was almost like they hadnt even really tried maybe tom petty is more popular in the US than here in the UK :mellow:

[tinker*bell]

hahaha I don't even know Tom Petty :mellow:

[dearericka]

[mjfanatic4eva]

I suppose it's just a subtle way of reminding people about Thriller, through using the song :laugh:

[annaliese]

Imagine if he performed For All Time at the Superbowl :wub:

I'd die happily :)

[Simsfreaks357]

yes just listened to it again and it does sound better:yes::yes::crazylol::crazylol::crazylol:.... ...:hmm:

[Twilight]

So all that fuss for some lizards, charming. I'm hoping this isn't the best from MJ this year thats for sure. Yes it was cute, no it wasn't "awe". If he doesn't get his **** together soon, why I oughta, lol. Also....little bit of a sell out, not too keen on this sort of stuff....commercialisation….yes pop music could be argued as throw away….post-modern and what not but still…this was Thriller, you know?

[bexy]

its one of the most watched youtube videos today :lol:

Wow,What-a-weird,funny-and-kinda-cute-commercial.-lol.:lol::ohmy::lol:

Kinda-boring.

Is-the-lizard-like-the-sobe-symbol-or-something?

Too-bad-Michael-wasn't-in-it.

I'm-glad-I-didn't-watch-the-superbowl-now.:D

I was thinking that too, but hey, at least it got people thinking about him.

I wish they would have played it again. I missed it. :(

[BrOkEn BaRbiE]

The more I watch that advert, the more I love it! :lol:

[sammichael]

Well at least its got mj back in the spotlight somewhat :yes::yes::wink:

You would not believe how many amazing artists I've discovered through commercials!

I'm hoping using Thriller in an ad will have the same effect. I'm hoping that the older generation of fans how have since moved on from Michael will remember how good Thriller was, I'm also hoping that it will attract a new generation of fans through that one clip also.

I think it was a great move. What do you want, MJ to appear in a commercial, one we'd get "oh isn't he selling out by appearing in commercials?" and secondly we'd get... "so MJs been on TV what's next?". I like the baby steps approach, I love the fact that within 2 seconds of that song starting EVERYONE knows it Thriller, I bet you people still imitate a few dance moves from the Thriller vid to this day.

Do you realise that SoBe is a subsidiary of PepsiCo??? Can you appreciate how much of a milestone this is considering that Pepsi ditched MJ back in 1993? After turning their backs why should MJ let any of his music or likeness etc be associated with any PepsiCo brand?

And on top of that. Seriously, could you imagine ANY of this happening 3 years ago? Really?

[Shineyteeth]

Did anyone else just die laughing when they showed the lizard with the grills? :toofunny:
And when that lizard farts like midway the dance :lol:

I have to say that ad cracked me up. I loved it

[DTH'tje]
