Watch Videos of Michael
According to Wiki…Love’s Alright is the third musical album by comedian and singer Eddie Murphy. The album was released on February 23, 1993 by Motown Records, and was produced by Murphy, David Allen Jones and Ralph Hawkins. The album was a critical and commercial failure, only making it to #80 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Two singles were released: “Whatzupwitu”, whose music video is patterned after the album cover and features Michael Jackson, and “I Was a King”, featuring Shabba Ranks. Neither made it high on the Billboard charts. Never mind Eddie!

The singer made a rare public appearance at Ed Hardy owner Christian Audigier’s 50th birthday party, which was also attended by Britney Spears, Stacy ‘Fergie’ Ferguson, Pamela Anderson and Snoop Dogg. The 49-year-old singer joined birthday boy Christian on stage at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Hollywood to say a few words about the designer.
The celebrities and fellow guests whooped with joy when they heard Michael was appearing on stage. However, their excitement was short-lived when Michael simply said “Hello… Christian is the king of fashion”, before retreating off the stage.
One reveller told The Mirror: “Everyone went mad when he grabbed the microphone. The mood was electric. ”But sadly there was no impromptu gig. It was a shame because he looked in pretty good shape. He was obviously just putting in an appearance for his old pal Christian.”
Jackson made the whistle-stop visit to Los Angeles from his base in Las Vegas. The Thriller singer has been residing in Nevada’s Sin City since last year with his three children Prince Michael, 11; Paris Michael, 10; and Blanket, six.
Meanwhile, a chic-looking Britney was escorted by her father Jamie Spears and agent Jason Trawick. The singer appears to have turned over a new leaf following her recent fashion mishaps and cut a sleek figure in a black bandeau dress and Christian Louboutin high heels.
While Michael failed to sing, former The Black Eyed Peas singer Stacy ‘Fergie’ Ferguson happily performed to the celebrity crowd. Newly-single Pamela Anderson was also in attendance in a miniscule grey lurex dress, but unwittingly flashed her knickers at some of the crowd when she stuck her arm in the air on stage with Christian.

Luciano Pavarotti Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (12 October 1935 – 6 September 2007) was an Italian operatic tenor, who also crossed over into popular music, eventually becoming one of the most commercially successful tenors of all time. He was one of “The Three Tenors” and became well-known for his televised concerts and media appearances. Pavarotti was also noted for his charity work on behalf of refugees and the Red Cross, amongst others.

The legendary producers filmed interviews they carried out with Jackson and his brothers while recording the Jackson 5′s first post-Motown albums, The Jacksons and Going Places, in the mid-1970s, and now they’re releasing the unseen footage on their website.
The short film features an interview with the Jacksons, which took place a day after they met their hero Muhammad Ali.
And there’s a very sweet moment as Michael starts interviewing house producer Dexter Wansel’s two-year-old son on camera, asking, ‘Is that your daddy? Is that your Daddy right there? Let me see you dance. Can you dance? You can’t dance? Can you sing? He can’t dance, Dex?’
The film footage has brought back wonderful memories for Gamble & Huff.
A joint statement from them reads, ‘Michael was a great and wonderful artist and performer. We were privileged and honored to record him and his brothers here at Philadelphia International Records… We know his music and legacy will live on for a very long time.’

According to Wiki….“You Are Not Alone”, released in August 1995, is the second single from Michael Jackson’s album HIStory. The R&B ballad was written by R. Kelly in response to difficult times in his personal life. He then forwarded a bare demo tape to Jackson, who liked the song and decided to produce it with Kelly. Jackson’s interest in the song was also linked to recent events in his personal life; highly publicized allegations of child sexual abuse and his recent marriage to Lisa Marie Presley.
Lisa & Michael
The music video begins with a large number of paparazzi taking photographs of Jackson. The plot then centers around two locations: a temple where Jackson appears in an affectionate semi-naked scene with his then wife Lisa Marie Presley and a theater where Jackson performs the song to an empty hall. Jackson also appears alone in other locations such as deserts and mountain tops. It is the first high profile video where Jackson’s hair is cut relatively short. The slightly extended version that appeared on HIStory on Film, Volume II was notable for a scene where Jackson appeared as a guardian angel over his wife, special effects were used to give Jackson white feathery wings.
Lisa & Michael
In one scene, Jackson originally appeared in complete nudity, but just before the video aired a decision was made to use special effects to remove or cover these aspects.
Despite giving the song a positive review, Taraborrelli said of the video, “The only problem with ‘You Are Not Alone’ was the bizarre video for it, in which Michael and Lisa Marie frolic about semi-nude against an ethereal backdrop…The semi-nudity made no sense and was a bit disconcerting; one wished they would put their clothes back on”.
Afterward Presley expressed regret about doing the video, saying she was “sucked up in the moment. It was kind of cool being in a Michael Jackson video. Come on!”.
