Wat lul je joh, da's het hele idee erachter: vage prints op een nieuw shirt zodat ze uit de jaren 80 lijken.

Dat zou kunnen, maar dan is het nog geen retro...;) Retro is ouderwets, wat weer terug in de mode gebracht wordt. Het smurfenshirt van MJ is kunstmatig oud gemaakt voor een versleten look.

[quote]Michael Jackson calls a Chilean for his new album and DVD

Humberto Gatica, nephew of Lucho Gatica and internationally renowned producer, was contacted by the singer to join his team for his comeback.

CLAUDIO VERGARA


While more than half of the world bets on how many concerts Michael Jackson will perform for his upcoming comeback in London, Humberto Gatica has other preoccupations with the singer. Almost the opposite: trust, friendship, and the future of their children. That's what they talked about at least three weeks ago, when the reborn artist called the personal number of the most powerful Chilean producer in the world, who was part of the technical staff who led Quincy Jones and financed the essential albums "Thriller" (1982) and "Bad" (1987).

But on the phone, Jackson had another plan. The most personal and secret project of his return: taking up again the recording of his new album and making a DVD of some of the 50 shows that he will give in the British capital starting in July 13, which will mark his redemption after years of bankruptcy, legal troubles and artistic debacle.

"He called me because we know each other and because he trusts me. He wants me to work with him again and be part of his team. Today, everybody has doubts about him, in return, he does not trust anyone, and contacted the circle of partners who he feels safe with, people from the old school who lived with him the best years of his career, even though there's not many left. He want to feel protected," says Gatica, on the phone from the studios of Capitol Records in Los Angeles, where he works on the last album by the Canadian singer Michael Bublé.

He adds: "Let's see how it goes, because the new Michael Jackson album is going to be amazing, but is also requiring a lot of work and is perhaps too ambitious. He takes a long time working on the songs and doesn't know if he should work during his free days between his shows, or wait to see if he will regain his popularity thanks to his stage comeback."

The Chilean, born in Rancagua and nephew of Lucho Gatica, will travel to London to see some of the shows and plans to stay for several weeks in the city to work on the audiovisual recording of the show. "His whole team, dancers, singers and technicians, rented houses to stay in London. No one will be staying in hotels. Maybe I will join them," he says.

For years, the man who also worked for Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli and La Ley took the defense of the American legend. He even agreed to work without problems on his latest fiasco: "Invincible" (2001), his latest artistic journey, and an aborted attempt in 2005 to release a song to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

But he got a privilege few have: hearing from the singer's own mouth how he feels about performing the fifty concerts. Gatica reveals: "I found him very quick-minded, very definite, very sharp (biting), very focused on the shows. I have no doubt that he is prepared physically, because he is a perfectionist. He wants to tour Europe after. We also talked about children, family and holidays. He was very laid-back."
Gatica affirms that while everyone bets on a new defeat, the former king of pop is confident it will be a victory.

Jackson also disputed Miller's suggestion that he never intended to perform the concerts, saying he had started rehearsals, of a sort. "I [would] stand in front of the mirror in my bathroom and try out the dance moves," Jackson said. "It's hard work. I don't do it in my bedroom because there are lots of games in there and they are noisy. It is a lot quieter in the bathroom. I visualize what I want the concert to look like. I conceptualize everything."

Miller then asked if "all the choreographers, technicians, backing singers and band" were in the bathroom for the rehearsal.

"I'm not sure," Jackson said. "I don't want to guess."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 10, 2009

ALLGOOD ENTERTAINMENT FILES SUIT AGAINST MICHAEL JACKSON,
AEG LIVE, AND JACKSON’S MANAGER, FRANK DILEO

New Jersey-based concert promoter, AllGood Entertainment, Inc., filed suit today
in Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, against pop star,
Michael Jackson, AEG Live and Jackson’s Manager, Frank Dileo.

The suit alleges that the defendants violated the plaintiff’s non-compete clause, part
of an agreement with Jackson, entered into by Jackson’s current manager, Dileo, in
November of 2008. According to AllGood’s attorney, Ira Meyerowitz, of the law
firm of Meyerowitz Jekielek PLLC, “Dileo and the Jacksons must be held
accountable for violating plaintiff’s rights under a contract which was signed two
full months prior to AEG’s 02 London agreement.” (Michael) Jackson had made
repeated assurances that he wished to perform the disputed concert after the star
returned from his London shows. “When pressed to commit on a date, Jackson and
Dileo both reneged,” Meyerowitz said.

“This is a case where the little guy followed the rules and was pushed aside by
industry giants AEG and the Jacksons for the promise of bigger money and
movies,” AEG’s President, Randy Phillips it is known, took part in a secret
meeting a few weeks ago at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where he indicated that he had
$30 million tied up in Michael Jackson already and that no other promoter was
going to interfere with AEG. Phillips is said to have added that Jackson doesn’t
even want to do their (AllGood’s) pay-per-view show broadcast.

“Jackson and the other defendants’ actions,” Meyerowitz continued, “appear to be
part of a broader pattern of entering into legally binding agreements with
companies and individuals and then backing out without just cause.” The
defendants actions are said to have cost the plaintiff millions of dollars.

Founded in 2002, AllGood Entertainment, Inc. is a promoter of live concert events
which feature internationally known and acclaimed attractions ranging in ethnic
diversity from rock acts, adult contemporary artists and comedians to Latin, R&B,
Hip-Hop, Reggaeton and Old School artists.
