CBS teases Jackson tribute
The latest Grammy commercials from CBS tease the tribute to the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson's "Thriller," using Akon's remix of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" with will.i.am.
So far, both Akon and will.i.am. have been announced as presenters but not performers. However, Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," as a good friend reminds, is also sampled by Grammy performer Rihanna in her "Don't Stop the Music."
All accounts put Jackson in the building but not performing, but all that could be a giant ruse at this point. Regardless, here's the latest CBS promo, via YouTube:
Go Mj!!!!!! You are still the best!!

I love the way they never know exactly what Michael Jackson is going to do. The way the press has treated him over the years, they deserve absolutely no information from Michael Jackson. When and if he shows up, he'll start a mob scene every time, because he is the ultimate performer. We need you Michael, you're the only one who can breath life back into the music.
