Ever get the feeling you’re saying entirely too much? One has to wonder if that was the case when will.i.am spoke of the late Michael Jackson‘s thoughts on a certain Cheryl Cole. (No I didn’t think he knew of her either)
Full story after the jump…
Via Now:
Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am has revealed that the late Michael Jackson was keen to duet with Cheryl Cole.
Will used to talk to Michael about Cheryl and is gutted the perfect pop pairing will never be.
‘I told him Cheryl was the hottest thing in the UK and could sing and dance – basically, she was the complete package,’ says Will, 35.
‘He would have worked with her, no doubt, and it would have been something special.
‘Michael was excited about everything I told him about Cheryl.
‘It could have been one of the great collaborations of recent history.’
Though X Factor judge Cheryl won’t get to make music with Jackson – who died in June 2009 – Will insists she isn’t short of options.
‘There are still lots of great artists waiting to work with Cheryl when she gets over to the US’
But her and Michael would have created something that would make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.’
Really, will? Anything to sell this non-talent, I see. Blasphemy included.
For someone who worked with Michael, surely his genius and the words Cheryl Cole should have no correlation. Perhaps will’s overly busy beats are beginning to fuzz his judgement.
Your thoughts?
“walks in, falls down in laughter ” BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LMAO BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA “walks out”
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I LOVE CHERYL BUT THIS IS JUST.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
WILL.I.AM BLATES WANNA F*** HER.
WOW WILL IS SUCH A FLOP.
MJ IS ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE.
LATOYA > CHERYL
LOOL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THE COMPLETE PACKAGE………..? FAIL
Yep, agree Sam. I believe Will is creating this fake story to bolster Cole. I HIGHLY DOUBT Michael Jackson would work with her. Just cause Will says something doesnt mean MJ would have agreed had he saw her first hand. Whole story smells fake ass. Obviously he understands everyone and their gramma knows Cole is a no talent so he has to put that the great MJ “…would have worked with her.” Both past tense and a presupposition. Could be cuz Cole has an interest in his label?? Ya think… NEXT!
IT IS EASY TO SAY THAT NOW HE IS DEAD. I DOUBT THAT IT IS TRUE. WEIRED THAT
WILL I AM IS SAYING THAT NOW WHY DID HE NOT SAY IT WHEN MICHAEL WAS STILL ALIVE.
SERIOUSLY DOES SHE PAY HER OR IS HE BEGGING TO BE HER NEW BOYFRIEND.
STOP PROMOTING THIS NON TALENT THAT GOT LUCKY THAT HER HUSBAND CHEATED ON HER OR ELSE SHE WOULD NEVER GOT THE XFACTOR JUDGING ROLE.
Can someone please tell Will.Work.For.Food stop using MJs name to promote his artist . . not a good look
This kneegrow den’ lost his damn mind. Ppl will say anything for shock value or to get attention….Fuckery at its best…
Lies.
*SCREAMS*
I
JUST
CAN’T
!!
WILL I AM deserves a massive ” GURL, BYE!”
You’re wrong for that sweetie…lord *shaking head*….lord…have mercy! Forgive him
And another one: GURL BYE !
lol…cant even tell u how much i laughed when i read the title! =)))
Hilarious, as if! lol!!!!
This post doesn’t warrant further comment haha!
Will is a known liar. He’s been sued multiple times for swagger jacking and lost. Nuff said.
MJ is rolling in his grave. How dare this fool work for the GOAT and then have the nerve to even mention this nobody’s name in the same sentence? He and the talentless Cheryl Cole (who noone in the UK seems to be able to stand) need to take several seats and remain silent.
KMT.
In addition, Alexandra Burke is the greatest female artist we have coming from the UK right now. She can sing and dance. Or my girl, Leona, who blows most of these bishes out of the water vocally.
Never Cheryl Cole.
For f*cking shame.
Will at like him and MJ were best friend and he knows everything that Mike would do.
Will is so obvious that you want to sleep with cheryl, NO ONE HERE IS THE US IS CHECKING FOR HER. She does not have the talent to work with MJ even if he was still alive. This ninja got some nerve.
Will I AM let me say this on behalf of everyone with common sense SHUT THE HELL UP!
And the sell of the day award goes to……
All the years Michael was on this earth and all the celebrities that are hot and worldwide stars and he would’ve been excited about Cole.
I don’t think so….
Excuse my typos, but i get so mad when people talk about Mike like they were
really friends with him to begin with..
Will I Am is a fool…I mean, the one he should be talking about is: ALEXANDRA BURKE.
ALexandra Burke is world class and y’all know that. The whole package.
Hope the US will show alexandra some love, Talk about her to your friend folks!
Is Will.i.am f****** that ho? For real. She is so untalented. Michael Jackson recording with Cherly is like Paris Hilton talking with Stephen Hawking about an evidence of Higgs boson.
I’m starting to think that Will wants us thinking that he’s a moron. And he’s almost there.
WILL I.WAS NEED TO START A COMEDY SHOW ASAP… 😀 deadddddddddddd
HILARIOUS
😀
GURL_BYE

**************************************************************************************
She already has an American fan over here 🙂 ..cant wait until she starts to perform down here. We need some real talent….BAD!
the whole package???
like the U.S doesn’t have enough beautiful and talented girls around. X FACTOR FINALISTS ARE NO MATCH TO AMERICAN IDOL FINALISTS.
cheryl cole can’t even sing as good as Gamu or even Katie lol.
I feel sorry for cheryl because this guy exaggerates her talents so much that she could just flop because people are gonna have high expectations of her at this rate. She needs to surround herself with real friends rather than yes….people.LOLOL!!!!!
@BeySoBreezy
Exactly! Real talent recognize real talent 🙂
If Cheryl is more successful than Alex in the US, s*** gonna happen lol
But i trust the US, when they’ll see Alex perform and hear her soulful voice, they will fall in love 🙂
He seriously needs to f*** off with his Cheryl Cole agenda.
‘It could have been one of the great collaborations of recent history.’
If Cheryl was Beyoncé…yes. SMH
I’ll be honest, I could actually see that!!!
I mean, he collab-ed with Akon and 50Cent on his last album, (whether it was his choice or not) so why not the fabulous entertainer Cheryl Cole???
I mean, compared to all of the other pop girls in the world, Cheryl is SUCH a CLASS ACT!
You know, as in being able to dance without throwing her T&A in everyone’s face.
And she just carries herself in a much more classy manor than others, as of recent.
Say what you want about her voice (it’s weak, I agree), but the girl can dance, and the girl’s a STAR!
http://www.gifsoup.com/view/295742/cheryl-cole-o.gif
LOL if he wanted to it would have happened!!
Whatever Will.I.Am ,
Cheryl is still not giving you her humps, her humps, her humps, her humps (check it out) *Nicki Minaj’s face*
LOOOL will the man is dead let him rest in peace without you using his name to sell cheryl cole..thats ridiculous…as a musician william should be so ashamed with what comes out of his mouth!! beyond stupid
ANYBODY>>>>>cheryl cole
*WEAK* Will I Aint better shut the f*** up, no way MJ would work with Cheryl the b**** can’t even sing lol The only reason her first album did good was because people felt bad about her husband cheating and her X Factor job and now her 2nd album isn’t selling well with her second single only reaching No18, people don’t give a f*** about A$hley cheating and she had major backlash over her s***** job on X Factor this year.
Even CHER LLOYDE got a US deal before her lmfao! forget this h** and finnish 2NE1’s US album Will and Keep MJ outta your mouth.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
#ThatIsAll
wow will anything to get that ass
licking it all you want but “in rihanna voice” U AINT GETTIN NONE
#EPICFAIL…Cheryl and MJ my ass…it’s true though, how come bishes like this get all the noise but actual talent like Alex don’t? wierd!!
will you just please F*ck off. I am getting so sick of this guy and his arrogance. Who is he to be speaking for anyone, let alone Jackson.
Used to love BEP but his attitude and the terrible new album- which consists of so much “borrowing” and so little creativity- is making me hate them a little bit more everyday.
Straight jacket on Line one!!!!!
Oh My Ribs
Thanks guys i needed a laugh today
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
What Spell has Cheryl put on WILLIAM!??
A WA DI BACKSIDE… CHHUUPPPPSSSS!!!
Blaspheming indeed!
TJ, Cheryl is a CHAV with a criminal record and also boasts how she held back her then husbands move to Real Madrid.
The only reason people cared about the alleged cheating is because she was a beautiful white girl being screwed over by black footballer who hates the press as much as they profess to hate him.
Cheryl is a nice girl but the only interesting thing about her is her lovelife and that is sad.
Will.i.am has made a poor call of judgement.
Will.i.am shut D f*** up.
I had to laugh when i saw this title…. Will i am trying to sell cherl aint gonna get u closer into her pants….lmao mj must be rolling in his grave.
is this some kind of joke??
This is hilarious. I just got MJ’s new album “Michael” and I am happy she is not on it! it is amazing the way it is. Best song Hold My Hand w/ Akon video is great too http://bit.ly/efLiPq
p**** will make a man say carzy s***.
Mj would have been lucky if he got to walk with such a talent, as is cheryl cole.. tbh i dont think cheryl would have wanted too.
@ Taylor Swifts number1 fan,you f****** moron,M.J would have been lucky to work with Cheryl Cole,b*******, she would have been lucky if M.J. new who she was.Michael Jackson was the best of the best,no one was better.You are just f****** stupid,f*** you.
@ Taylor swift number 1fan, Taylor Swift is a redneck with no talent,f*** her and f*** you,asshole.
^^^ I hope to God you are being sarcastic.
I have never heard a Cheryl Cole song ever so I have no opinion on her talent, but you people should remember that MJ once got onstage with N*Sync, who the last I checked, aren’t music geniuses either.
And Trent, I doubt that Cheryl could be a bigger no-talent than your fave Britney. I’m sure if MJ was set to work with her instead, we’d hear no complaints from you.
^^ First sentence is directed @ Daniel.
LOL @Sam, you better PREACH! 🙂
FTW Wil I Am? Give me damn break! MJ would be no more interested in working with this chick then a man on the moon! Who is she again? I am so tired of the fake gimmicks. True talent doesn’t need all the lies to support it. Just produce quality work and let that be your calling card!
The nerve of this fool evoking the name of Michael Jackson to sell a C. Cole! Please man think before you speak!
LOL. Why are all these back-up singers trying to get all on MJ?! Will.I.Am and Akon?! They just trying to get in on all the $$$
whats a redneck? Because i do get one, if im out in the sun to much.
No, i think cheryl would have turned down working with some has been. She has high standards, and this guy just doesnt live upto them. im sorry.
@George Liquor
:Oredneck is a derogatory slang term! you shouldnt use racist words to desribe a singer. But dont worry, im rising above your racist words.
First of all,I’m half white,so if I call her a redneck,it’s not racist,Michael Jackson,a has been B*******.If you think the KING OF POP MUSIC was a has been,then your to stupid to live.Michael Jackson made M.T.V,his music changed the music world,it changed the world as we know it.He brought people of all colors together,his music made the whole world dance. No single artist,no movement or force-has eclipsed what M.J. accomplished.His music was love,his music was life itself,he sold more records then any other artist,over a billion records,can Taylor Swift say the same,no ,then,then f*** off.
I am a Michael Jackson stan,never disrespect M.J.
@George Liquor I never said its racist, i said you were using racist words to desribe her, theres a difference. Mj had only made one album in the last 15 years before his new one has just came out.. The sameway.. if you only see an actor act once in 15 years.. you call them a has been.. and dont give me that he didnt wanna make music… He hasnt sold a billion though.. and yes other artist have sold more.. Elvis and the beatles. How’d he make the whole world dance? tell me
FTR, Mj did perform with Britney
& it was rather good.
Britneys not incredible but she’s a step-up from Cheryl, seriously.
At least she’s nice girl who didn’t beat up a toilet attendant for not letting her have a ‘lollipop’.
I’m sorry but it’s the men in Cheryl’s life who have got her where she is.
Michael Jackson sold more records then any other artist,Elvis and the Beatles included. How did he make the whole dance? Are you deaf and blind, Billie jean,Beat it ,smooth criminal,I want you back,ABC,the love you save, enjoy yourself, blame it on the boogie, shake your body,don’t stop till you get enough,rock with you,off the wall,bad.These are the songs that made the whole world dance,why don;t you listen to them then ask how he made the world dance.
Micheal jackson hasnt sold more then the beatles, I dont know where your getting from.
Also Im sure people dance more to abba then Micheal jackson, You might not have heard of them, but they’re one of the biggest selling groups of all time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_selling_music_artists
Is this some kind of joke, some stupid kid disrespecting the KING OP ALL POP MUSIC. aaba,you think people danced more to abba,then to M.J,.What is the world coming to.Your just sad
Yeh i would bet my money, that at a party, you’d are more likely to see people dancing to abba, then a micheal jackon song.
@ Taylor, then you would lose that bet.Damn fool,s*** some young are stupid.
@ Taylor, then you would lose that bet.Damn fool,s*** some young people are stupid
@ Daniel:
Michael Jackson’s last album “Invincible” came out more than 9 years ago, so FAIL for not knowing your facts. And it sold ten million copies worldwide, so although it was a flop for HIS standards, it’s a safe bet that Cheryl wish she could attain a fraction of his success even when he was at his worst.
Standards? What standards? She should be so lucky that Michael would even CONSIDER her in her thoughts. I haven’t heard any of her music or watched her perform, but judging by the comments above, it seems that this chick wouldn’t even be fit to shine his shoes.
Oh, and would you look at that? Michael has outsold ABBA as well, so it’s safe to say that he is more popular than them, and therefore people are more likely to jam to a Michael Jackson song at a party than an ABBA song, not the other way around.
#FAIL
#SITTHEFUCKDOWN
I swear, there must be something in Taylor Swift’s music that makes her fans dumb and delusional as hell.
True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue
You obviously didnt read what i said.. i said. Mj hasnt has only one album out in the last 15 years.. not counting the one that came out after his death.. because that wouldnt have came out if he was alive today. So fail.. i expected better from you tbh
As for cheryl cole.. i was joking.. seeing if i would get a reaction, i thought that was so obviously that i was being sacastic!!
I know, Mj has out sold abba.. but thats got nothing to do with what people dance to at a party. pink floyd have sold more then.. cheryl cole.. but who would dance to pink floyd? i think your having off day.
@ Taylor,b*******, you started a fight you can’t win,now your gonna,back down.Just f*** off
Has*
@ Daniel:
The album preceding Invincinble was HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I, which came out in June of ’95. So it’s almost sixteen years but not quite, and it’s only been 2011 for ten days, so naturally I’m counting things from a 2010 perspective. So you still fail.
And trolling for a reaction, PUH-LEASE. I would be willing to buy that after your first post, but when George and I called you out you should’ve made it clear that you were being sarcastic instead of continuing to make yourself look like a fool. Just admit that you were looking weak with your arguments instead of trying to save face.
And MJ’s music is hugely popular at parties, which you were trying to challenge, so naturally I had to point out that MJ is more popular than ABBA on all fronts. Don’t even try to bring Pink Floyd into this argument, because you know damn well that no one would be foolish enough to suggest that progressive rock music is popular at parties. MJ and ABBA are both pop artists, so it’s a fair comparison. Pink Floyd isn’t in their category at all. Wrong comparison.
Yeah so you agree that in the last 16 years, he has only had one album, apart from the one that came out after his death, which is just material that wasnt good enough to go on an album, when he was alive. so how’d i fail?
After the first statement i made, we never talked about cheryl cole, it was all about abba.. so your alittle slow.. but i’ll give you some time to catch up yeh?
I dont believe Mj is more popular then Abba on all fronts. I’ll think you’ll find that Mamma Mia the movie which is all abba songs was the highest grossing movie at one time in the uk.. and best selling dvd at a time in the uk…. and i stil believe “dancing queen” is the most populr song to be played at a party,
Final point. aka knockout point.
You tell me if Mj has made a better song then ” The winner takes it all” you youtube the vid… and then tell me.. if any of his songs have more meaning then that. That is the perfect pop song.
@ Daniel:
Boy, do you not get it? I am not talking about posthumous albums, I am talking about albums released while he was still alive! He died in 2009. So in reality he’s put out more than one album in LESS than 15 years. The last fifteen years of his life would be the years 1994-2009. HIStory came out in 1995. Invincible came out in 2001. You do the math.
You’re lucky that I’m tired or I would’ve pointed out your error earlier!
And you were the first to bring up ABBA by saying they were more likely to have their songs played at a party than MJ. Which they’re not. I don’t care how many movies have featured their songs, ABBA isn’t as big a deal as MJ, period. No shade, just the truth.
@ Daniel:
Nothing against ABBA, but are you kidding me???
“Man In The Mirror”>>>>>>>> “Winner Takes It All”, since you wanna talk about “meaning”. But tastes are subjective, so if you think ABBA is better, whatever, good for you.
will.i.am – “Michael Jackson Would Have Worked With Cheryl Cole”
but also…
Michael Jackson would have told Will to STFU
Yeh, okay 14 years whatever, so one album in the last 14 years.. if you wanna be picky!! and Invincible wasnt seen to be a good album anyways.. so one album in 14 years.. is that what you call someone still very much in their game? Nope.
Please abba are more likely to be played at a party! I guess it dpends on the type of person, but on the whole.. i think abba’s song are likely.
Lmao.. no winner takes it all is a way better song! have you actually heard the lyrics to the winner takes it all… The winner takes it all>>>> man in the mirror

DANIEL. EXPLAIN WHY ELVIS’S TRASHY W**** OF A DAUGHTER SAT DOWN WITH HARPO TO TALK ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON *AGAIN* EVEN THOUGH SHE DIVORCED HIM OVER 14 YEARS AGO?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHFlQ0UWYLs
WHY IS SHE *NOW* SAYING MJ WAS LIKE HER FATHER? WHY IS THIS B**** STILL USING MICHAEL JACKSON for MEDIA ATTENTION AND NOT HER DEAD DADDY?
GET BACK TO ME ON THAT.
TAYLOR SAID SHE FELT HONORED TO BE IN THE SAME AWARD CATEGORY WITH MJ WHEN SHE ACCEPTED HER AMA IN ’09
GET BACK TO ME ON THAT TOO.
@ Taylor swifts number 1 fan, why are you still here?.Michael Jackson is the best,that’s not even up for debate.Thriller sold 150 million copies,Bad sold 38 million,M.J. sold over a billion records in his life.The Jackson 5 one of the all time best groups.Michael Jackson was the greatest performer,and music artist of all time.His music will be here long after Taylor Swift is gone.
When any Taylor Swift record beats Thriller in sales,hop back on this site,until then kiss my ass.
@George Liquor Why you bringing Taylor Swift into this? besides you cant bring sales into it, you can only compare sales of artists if they were out at the sametime.. Albums sales have died Fact!!! down another 9 percent this year….You heard of the internet? Yeah.. No album will sell past 20 million ever again… Its just not possible in the internet age.. so all these sales figures are rather pointless when comparing them with todays artists.
@True blue i would guess:P
You sound very mad, calm down please.
But those are sale figures of the year he died.. when any artist dies… and is as well known as Mj, people always rush out to buy their albums.. do you think he would have sold 20 percent of that total, if he hadnt died? pleaseeeeeeee!! so all those sales figures of 2009 hardly prove much… yes he is well known and is liked by loads of people.. i get that… But i dont know why your bringing sales figures up when i was joking about him and cheryl cole in the first place and we was talking about abba and him…. and how i think abba is more popular at parties. Yeah i did say he was a has been.. because like i said, he wasnt making music.. that doesnt mean he still he still isnt loved by a load of people.
And Elvis daughter why bring her into it…. your really mad i can tell..Maybe she was asked about him, seeing as he has died and people wanna know….She was married to him, so she’d have more of an insight in to the real him then most wouldnt you think?
And again.. bringing another person into it…i’ve not spoke of taylor swift at all… I even like mj, so i dont know why your over reacted to a couple of comments i made….non of which were bad.
chill.
You disrespect M.J.,you will start beef with me.You don’t want beef,don’t disrespect M.J.,that’s just how it is with me.
People are allowed opinions, and sometimes you might not agree with them, but you just have to learn, that not everyone thinks like you.
I don’t give care if you like me or Michael Jackson, but I’ll be damned,if I let some Taylor Swift fan talk s*** about M.J.Now let’s end this,because I’m tired of you.
I THINK IT WOULD’VE BEEN INTERESTING.
IT’S RIDICULOUS PEOPLE THINK CHERYL IS TALENTLESS JUST BECAUSE SHE MIMED A FEW TIMES ON-STAGE. SHE’S GREAT AND SHE DOESN’T NEED TO PROVE ANYTHING TO NOBODY. I CAN’T BELIEVE SOME DELUSIONAL UK PEOPLE TALK CRAP ABOUT HER WHEN THEY WERE THE ONES WHO VOTED FOR HER TO BE PART OF GIRLS ALOUD; WELL MAYBE I’M TALKING ABOUT A BUNCH OF TWO-YEARS-OLD WHO WERE BORN THE DAY BEFORE SHE SANG “FIGHT FOR THIS LOVE” ON THE X FACTOR.
ANYWAY, THIS PAGE WOULDN’T BE ANYTHING WITHOUT A LIL BIT OF HATE OF COURSE, AS UNPROFESSIONAL AS IT IS.
@George Liquor Well thats how it is.. i have a right to an opinion.. so deal with it.
1 TAYLOR SWIFT BIG MACHINE 53,349
SPEAK NOW
2 NICKI MINAJ YM/CASH MONEY/UNIV MOTOWN 37,738
Oh and as a Taylor fan, i should just point out that taylor is number 1 again on the album charts.. thats 6 weeks in a row for her.

Talking about records…

Again thriller sold 150 millions copies,I don’t care what era of music your in that will not be done again,not by any other artist,so don’t talk to me about record sales.Now let this be the end of our little spat,Michael Jackson is the greatest performer of all time,that is not opinion that is fact.End of story.
thiller wouldnt sell anything near that if it came out today, so keep on saying those figures, they dont mean anything.. in todays music enviorment.. Taylor swift is the one to beat, beating everyone else in todays market in america… and actually has been the best selling artist for the past 2 out of 3 years.. as said from that youtube clip!
Damn it kid do you ever stop?How do know what thriller would sale today?Now please enough of your B.S.
@TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER ONE FAN
Your name says it all..of course your gonna put someone like ABBA above michael..
You’d probably also put Taylor over Aretha Franklin.
@George Liquor I never said it wouldnt sell.. it said it wouldnt sell anywhere near 150 million.. Anyone who knows about music sales would know that!
@KaVion Whats that supose to mean? Since when have i put Abba over Mj? All i said was at parties abba music is more likely to be played.. You need to read the posts before you make a comment.. or like in this case you’ll end up looking silly.
side note.. Obvs i wouldnt put Taylor over Aretha Franklin, obvs Aretha Franklin can sing better, but they make 2 different styles of music.. so its hardly a comparsion.
Will.I.am u wrong…u know u wrong! Nicca has completely lost the plot! its all those damn head pieces he keeps wearing…SMDH
