The VMA‘s had to make an impact, yet again. 2009 was no exception, with numerous jaw-dropping moments. But the biggest one wasn’t even the big Michael Jackson tribute at the start, but Kanye West being the biggest jerk in the world, yet again. In an even lower low for him, when Taylor Swift walked up to accept her award for Best Female Video, he goes on stage, grabs her mic, and tells the world that Beyonce had one of the best videos ever, essentially robbing Taylor from her winning moment. This was the very first award presented in the night!
MTV surely didn’t know what to do that they cut off the mic and had to restart their next video gag 3 times! Later on the show, when Beyonce actually won, she asked Taylor to go up and have her moment back.
On what would be his 51st birthday, Michael Jackson was honored at Mexico City’s Revolution monument with a Guinness World Record breaking dance of his iconic “Thriller“.
Over 13,000+ people danced in unison his famous video’s choreography, with over 50,000+ spectators being witnesses to the great spectacle.
I was there, and have my full account of the event over on my personal blog, Where Is My Mind?, go check it out to read my experience there, view pictures and watch the video of the record-breaking moment.
Billboard charts are out again, and Daughtry now oficially has a #1 debut album, making “Leave This Town” their second consecutive #1 (their debut, “Daughtry“, hit #1 in it’s 9th week of release). And is the first album to have more sales than a Michael Jackson album after his death last month, selling 269,000 copies to MJ’s 192,000 of “Number Ones“.
Per Reuters, last week’s Billboard 200 champ, Maxwell’s “BLACKsummers’night,” slipped to No. 2 with 103,000. The “Hannah Montana 3” soundtrack was also down one, to No. 3, with 73,000, as was the “Now 31” compilation at No. 4 with 69,000. The Black Eyed Peas’ “The E.N.D.” held at No. 5 with 54,000.
Sony and AEG Live are nearing final talks to release the rehearsal footage from Michael Jackson’s This Is It concert series. And based on this leaked clip of “They Don’t Really Care About Us“, it sure looks like it would be awesome to watch!
Kenny Ortega (High School Musical) is rumored to direct the film. He originally helped with the planning and staging of the concert, while already directing a documentary made for television based on the staging and choreography Michael Jackson made personally. This film would incorporate video clips that were made exclusively to be used throughout the shows in London.
If all goes according to plan the film would come out this Fall in theaters worldwide. This would most certainly become boxoffice gold the second it’s released! I wanna!
