Jackson: rumours of a resurrection may be exaggerated
Without a new album or tour in sight 'Michael Jackson' is nevertheless one of the most frequently-used search terms on Times Online. What is behind this upsurge of interest? Only Google can tell us for sure.. Michael Moran Despite an extended career hiatus, the merest mention of a return from the self-styled 'King of Pop' brings legions of devoted fans out of the woodwork. Jackson, who hasn't released an album since 2001, and many would argue hasn't released a genuinely great album since Bad in 1987, has but to hint at a comeback for many of those fans to rush to their computers and begin a great worldwide rush of wild surmise across the Internet. Certainly there's a song (No Friend of Mine) on DJ Tempamental's MySpace which appears to feature the notoriously reclusive singer, but there seems little hard information behind the notion that this heralds a relaunch of the star's becalmed career, or more specifically the rebirth of The Jackson 5 (or perhaps an extended Jackson 7) that is being widely discussed at present. The dependably witty No Rock & Roll Fun dismisses the speculation out of hand, and Walk Talken adds that, even if the rumours were to be true, most of the brothers would be now too old to execute their signature dance moves with much elegance. Perhaps 3D modellers' resource TrueBones might be a better option for those desperate for fresh Michael Jackson moves, with a computer-rendered skeleton of the star which can be manipulated according to the user's whim. http://entertainment.timesonline.co....inment/music/a rticle1447148.ece |
