Posted October 6, 200717 yr Jacko set to join the X Factor The Sun http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00367/SNN0633B_280_367627a.jpg SINGING legend Michael Jackson is to star on The X Factor, we can reveal. He has agreed to be a mentor for the show broadcast on December 1. It is a huge coup both for the talent search show and ITV. The channel broadcast the Martin Bashir interview with Jacko, 49, that led to his court case for allegedly molesting a boy. The pop star was acquitted. Girls Aloud will also be making an appearance – rumoured to be one of their last before an expected split. The girls signed up despite member Cheryl Cole slating the show recently. She said the age limit should not have been lowered to 14, adding: “To have someone criticise you when you’re that young is very hard. Give them a few years, a chance to finish school and they’ll be ready.” Celine Dion, Rihanna, Kylie, Shayne Ward, Leona Lewis, Westlife and Mariah Carey have also agreed to appear. They will spend several days with the finalists – helping them prepare their songs and fine-tune their voices. They will also perform one of their own songs. An insider said: “We’ve got some huge names but Michael Jackson really is a sensational signing. He is a truly global, worldwide superstar. And this will be his first TV appearance in Britain since the Martin Bashir interview. Given his background with ITV, it’s even more astonishing that he agreed to do it.” Judges Louis Walsh, Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue and Sharon Osbourne have all done their bit to persuade stars to appear. Dannii has got big sister Kylie to be on the final show. The live programmes kick off on October 20 with Leona Lewis. The source said: “There has been some top-level negotiating here. Everyone is absolutely delighted. “The contestants are better, the judging panel is bigger and better, so the celebrity guests had to be. “This is going to be the best show on TV.”
October 6, 200717 yr this would work well for all parties huge ratings coup for x factor and michael needs the media hype also
October 6, 200717 yr if he released round the time of his x factor appearance it would be great for him or even have a new single out at that time
October 6, 200717 yr Just goes to show X Factor is ALL about the TV, and not about the music at all. Good for MJ though :w00t:
October 6, 200717 yr if he relesaed round the time of his x factor appearance it would be great for him or even have a new single out at that time singles are normally released two weeks before the album, and the albums most likely being released in mid 2008.
October 6, 200717 yr or another greatest hits will be released thriller 25th anniversay eddition is coming out in november so is bad live in japan dvd.
October 6, 200717 yr Author thriller 25th anniversay eddition is coming out in november so is bad live in japan dvd. Really? A new Live DVD? :o :yahoo: :w00t: I am so pleased, I could never understand why there was never more than one MJ live DVD. It's just ridiculous. And even better that it's from the Bad tour. Although, his legendary Wembley Stadium gig should've been released as it is widely considered one of the best gigs of all time. -_-

Bad in japan however is a really good show, but its a shame that a leg two show isnt being released, leg two of the bad tour had much better songs performed. all we need now is for Live in auckland 1996 to be released and therell be a dvd from each tour
October 6, 200717 yr Author I agree. The tracklisting fot this gig is nothing special. So many amazing tracks missing :cry: But still amazing to get this DVD and I cannot wait :D
