Talk:Michael Jackson's This Is It (album)

Posthumous releases
In accordance with the custom of most other albums being labeled in the leader as 1st, 2nd, etc, I have restated that this is the 5th posthumous Jackson album, coming after all the Universal releases of the past months. The previous 4 can be found by following the links in the infobox.

In fact, instead of 5th album, we could have 6th release, since the single will be coming beforehand... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.22.105 (talk) 16:57, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Sony bosses have vaults full of of unreleased MICHAEL JACKSON recordings, which they plan to release sparingly in the coming months and years. At least five new tracks will appear on the soundtrack to Jackson's new concert rehearsal movie This Is It, including the title track and a spoken word poem called Planet Earth. And Sony chairman Rob Stringer admits there's plenty more music where those tunes came from. He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "We have a lot of music in the vaults. We will take our time with the rest of the material." And there's more music in vaults at soul label Motown, according to Jackson's one-time producer Samm Brown. Shortly after the King of Pop's death in June (09), he told WENN, "Michael was such a perfectionist and he had a lot of stuff that he didn't use. I know, for a fact, that Motown has a deep vault and I would say there are 100 or more tracks sitting at Motown alone. "There will be somebody in his (Jackson) camp who will want to release all of the lost tracks he recorded - dating way back to the 1960s. There's huge money to be made off of these recordings."

 * Of course there's lots of tomb poaching ahead. It will be like after 2Pac died but five times worse. Seriously, I don't think there's a great chance that any of the vault tracks will reveal something that should have been on Thriller or Dangerous. Maybe a few - but it's not like with Hendrix where a track like Valleys of Neptune (several versions, never officially released) has standout quality and strikes you as instantly memorable /Strausszek (talk) 20:08, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Rename
I suggest that we should rename this article into Michael Jackson's This Is It. On the cover and Billboard charts, it is so named.--MajklDzekson (talk) 01:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Reverts to "Single"
For the love of god, please stop with the reverts to this article!!! There was a discussion in 2009 about this very issue. This Is It is an album, and it is also a song from that album. A song that is ONLY available when you purchase that album. You cannot get a CD single for that song, and you cannot download just that song. This means that it is an album track, which is the polar opposite of a single in all senses of the word. You will not be able to find a reliable source to prove it was a single, because one does not exist. You cannot just change an infobox into something that you like - you also need to read the full text of the article and be sure you understand the article first... Mindlessly reinstating falsehoods will only result in the article being locked.
