About the concert, I thought she did ‘ok’. Call me a hater or whatever, but it lacked the energy of a show I would spend my money on. Still, I’m sure there are those who are feeling what she has to offer…

To the many of you who entered the That Grape Juice’s ‘Meet Omarion & Marques Houston’ competition, thank you. More tickets for the premiere than the originally quoted ‘pair’ became available for the competition, hence there were six pairs in total up for grabs! The following are the winners – who were chosen at random (email confirmation should have been received yesterday) :

1) Yordano Hayelom – Seattle, Washington

2) Denise Berg – Los Angeles, California

3) Brandon J. Jones – Newark, California

4) Heather M. Okker – Los Angeles, California

5) Traci Renae – Glendale, California

Congratulations to the winners! Remember to keep it locked on That Grape Juice for future competitions…we’re doing it big from here on out.

[Michael] Jackson is involved in putting together a 25th anniversary edition of his best-selling album, “Thriller.” Those with long memories will recall that “Thriller” is considered the biggest-selling pop album of all time, succeeding Carole King’s “Tapestry” and Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” and breaking every record it came near.

Jackson’s new music attorney, Peter Lopez, told me on Tuesday that about four of the original “Thriller” tracks are being remixed as “extras” for the CD package. Kanye West, Akon and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas are supposed to be doing that work. The songs are “Billie Jean,” “The Girl Is Mine,” “Wanna Be Starting Something” and “Pretty Young Thing.”

In addition, Lopez says that four tracks left off “Thriller” in 1983 will be included. Jackson’s longtime producer Bruce Swedien, who no longer works with the pop star, told me that one track he knows of is a killer. It’s called “Don’t Be Messin’ Around.” Swedien doesn’t know any of the other tracks left off the album but said there may be some out there.

Though I’d much prefer Michael to drop his long-awaited new album sooner rather than later, I guess this will wet the appetite of his fans, whilst re-introducing him to the masses.
