New Michael Jackson Song - This Is It

The long awaited new song from Michael Jackson "This Is It" has been released. The album will be released on October 27th and the movie will come out on October 28th. It reminds me of another Michael Jackon song, but I can't really pin point which one, can you?

Michael Jackson - This Is It Movie + Album

On October 12th, Sony is set to release a new Michael Jackson song titled "This Is It". The new song has been promoted with the trailer of the soon to be released "This Is It" movie. Tickets for this unique event will be available for purchase on September 27th. The movie will show on October 28th for two weeks. Tickets will be sold here.

The film's world gala will be in Los Angeles at the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE on Tuesday, October 27. That event, which begins at 6pm PDT, kicks off a series of more than 25 premieres around the globe. More than 15 cities, including New York, Rio De Janeiro, London, Berlin, Johannesburg, and Seoul will host events simultaneously, with red carpet arrivals and activities from the Los Angeles event broadcast by satellite to those cities. Other cities, including Moscow, Tokyo, Sydney, Paris, and many others will host their own, non-simultaneous premiere activities.

That's not all, Sony will also release a two disc album on October 26th in the United States and October 27th internationally.

Disc one will feature the original album masters of some of Michael's biggest hits arranged in the same sequence as they appear in the film. The disc ends with two versions of the never-released "This Is It." This song is featured in the film's closing sequence and includes backing vocals by Michael's brothers, the Jacksons.

Disc two offers previously unreleased versions of some of the artist's classic tracks. This disc also features a touching spoken word poem from Michael Jackson entitled "Planet Earth" that has never been heard before.

The two-disc This is It is a stand-alone companion to the motion picture and includes a 36-page, commemorative booklet featuring exclusive photos of Michael from his last rehearsal. (Michaeljackson.com)

Michael Jackson would have turned 51 today, and in honor of his birthday Spike Lee is organizing an event in Brooklyn which will draw more than 10,000 fans at the Nethermead meadow in Prospect Park. The event is free and it will run from noon until 5pm.

Brooklyn's borough president, Marty Markowitz will be presenting a proclamation during the event, declaring August 29th Michael Jackson Day in Brooklyn. Al Sharpton will make a speach and a prayer, and DJ Spinna who collaborated on "They Don’t Care About Us" will unleash hits from MJ's career.

Councilwoman Letitia James of Brooklyn will also be present at the event as she suggested that the Hoyt-Schermerhorn subway station be renamed or co-named after Michael Jackson, as it was the scene for the 1987 video "Bad".

From this video one can clearly see that Michael was completely in shape just two days before his tragic end.
