Thanks to Diana Jean on MJHD for this!!!! Verrrry interesting!I’ve posted about this before, but with more research and findings I decided to look into it some more. The first time I posted about this, people where less than convinced, so I decided to let it go. I was recently emailed by somebody who found it interesting, so I went ahead and looked into it more. The connections are just to big to ignore.
Let’s go back to 2006, a year after Michael’s child molestation trial. He is an emotional mess and his reputation is severely damaged. Though Michael’s true fans know he would never hurt a child, thousands of people around the globe still believe he is a criminal. Michael wants his reputation back, he wants to be the King of Pop once again. But how?
Michael moves back to the United States, in late December (2006), after spending some time in Bahrain.
As stated Michael wants to get his reputation back. "Michael is determined to be a global phenomenon again.”
who does he go to?
Simon Fuller.

“American Idol: The Search for a Superstar on the Fox network, the show has since become one of the most popular in the history of American television. It is currently the #1 program in the Nielsen ratings and is one of only three that have been #1 for five consecutive seasons,”

Okay so
Michael wants to get to Simon Fuller
how does he do it?
He knows that Simon Fuller is the producer of American Idol, so he uses his connections to get to him. (Bruce Gowers, Dorian Holley)
Him and Simon have secret meetings, talking about a big project. We don't know what this project is, but it's big.

And it seems like the American Idol crew do a good job with that one.
They have a "Michael Jackson Tribute Week"
I wonder where they got the permission to use his music.
