Welke muziek vind Michael zelf nou eigenlijk leuk? Motown gedoe?

Fans who decide they would rather have a souvenir will receive a ticket conceived by Jackson. There are eight designs that include holographic images of the entertainer on the front.


Vage, vage bende: die gasten die hun tickets nu al hadden dan, die hadden standaard O2 kaartjes, niks geen Jackson special crap. Klinkt als een lulverhaal om nog ff mensen uit te melken.
Als ze nu speciale kaartjes hebben, waarom was dat vantevoren nog niet bekend? Denk dat AEG gewoon probeert alsnog die 100 miljoen binnen te halen met niks doen.
Flikkers moeten gewoon die kaarten opsturen...

The “Dome Project” - A Last Video?

(29-06-2009) Two weeks ago, Michael Jackson finished what is being called his final video piece. It has been dubbed “Dome Project.”

The details are sketchy at best. Two people who have knowledge of the project confirmed it's existence on Monday to the Associated Press on the conditions that they are not to be identified because of confidentiality agreements. By evening, US West Coast time, it is being repeated in MSNBC news.

The leaks report that the “Dome Project” lasted five weeks and was filmed at Culver Studios. Those studios were the set for the classic film, “Gone With The Wind” some 70 years ago. Four sets were constructed for the production, including one that recalled the epic 1983 “Thriller” video.

The shooting lasted from June 1 – 9, and Michael was on the set for most of that time. The project is now in post – production and is expected to be completed next month.

Producer Robb Wagner, the founder of music video company Stimulated Inc, did not return messages seeking comment and Michael Roth, spokesperson for LA based promoter AEG Live said that he had not heard about this production. He added that it could have been part of the company contract with Michael.

An unidentified worker with knowledge of the project said that Michael left a memorable impression on the crew. He arrived in a caravan of SUV's, surrounded with security guards. The person said Michael introduced himself to the workers on the set. Michael walked with a spring in his step, but at one point needed assistance when descending steps off a stage.

Besides the cemetery set, another was draped in black with a portrait of Michael in his Thriller werewolf costume. Yet another set simulated a lush jungle. A fourth was built to look like a construction site, with a screen behind it to allow the projection of different backgrounds.

Taping of the piece happened in marathon sessions that ended early in the morning. It is still unclear what final forms the final video project will take.

According to Stimulated's web site, the company had been hired to produce the screen content for Michael's concerts in London.
