Are these the people helping MJ pull this off?

Rickey Minor too - AI vocal coach - helped with the parts in WATW 2.

Carrie Underwood & Jennifer Hudson - AI winner & finalist. Get to do MAJOR tributes for Michael.

Orianthi - Carrie's guitarist.

The list goes on.

Wow. This is very interesting. Thanks for posting!
I've always wished they'd had MJ on Idol as a guest & a mentor, his feedback would be much more helpful & special than Miley's.  :roll: As for last season, having a MJ theme. The themes are always HUGE artists or bands & songwriters, so of course naturally they'd do MJ songs at some point. He was HUGE, the King of Pop & a songwriter. It is interesting though that in all of the seasons of Idol, they choose to FINALLY do an MJ theme right before his "death" though. I would have loved to see MJ as a judge or mentor though, everytime I watch Idol, I think to myself, I wonder what it would have been like if MJ had been asked to be on. Let's hope he did have a contract to do X Factor in 2011 & that he honors it  :mrgreen: Oh, one more thing, I've noticed a lot of MJ influence on this season as well, from the beginning. Coincidence?

i think the contract for xfactor was for 2009 during TII concerts.....

Oh. I thought I saw the year 2011 in the original post, maybe I was wrong.

[awesome1]

maybe it was 2009 or 2011, but why would he make that kind of deal 2-3 years in advance.....

Hoax    LOL. idk, maybe he was going to wait until TII was done. Who knows?

For the record........I did NOT research this info. I found it was posted by Diana Jean on MJHD...give credit to her.

Just thought i'd add that Simon Cowell put together the show 'Phenomenon' which Uri Geller and Chris Angel were involved in 2007. More connecting dots.
