Go Wacko Jacko! What a better way to pay off those Neverland tax collectors.

I am pretty confused. So this year Michael Jackson is releasing a Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Thriller collectors album “in honor” of the masterpiece. Now, why would you hook up with Akon, Fergie, and will.i.am to honor such glorious pop music?

Despite all the musical genius or whatever Dick Clark called will.i.am on New Year’s Eve, most of these remixes are pretty weak. My favorite is Kanye’s mix of “Billie Jean”, but even then, I am surprised at the mediocrity of it all. I see no reason for releasing a collectors item like this, if anything, these remixes deplete Thriller’s original mastery of rock/pop. Now it sounds just like most of the stuff you are annoyed by each time you walk down the street, or througha GAP to return this Christmas’ hideous stripped sweater.

Kanye West and Will.I.Am have re-worked tracks by Michael Jackson to coincide with the 25th anniversary of his pioneering album, ‘Thriller.’

The tracks will feature on, ‘Thriller – The 25th Anniversary Edition,’ which is set for release on February 11th.

As well as featuring the original album in its entirety, the re-issue will include eight bonus tracks, one of which is West’s much anticipated remix of, ‘Billie Jean.’

Will.I.Am meanwhile has remixed, ‘The Girl Is Mine,’ and also appears alongside Jackson on new versions of ‘P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)’ and ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Something,’ the latter of which features US rapper Akon.

The unique re-issue will also include the previously unreleased, ‘For All Time,’ which was scrapped from the original Thriller recording sessions. The song has been re-mixed and mastered by Jackson.

Jackson’s original demo of ‘Billie Jean’ will also be included in the package.

The re-issue will be accompanied by a DVD which features Jackson’s short films for ‘Thriller,’ ‘Beat It,’ and ‘Billie Jean’ as well as the artist’s Emmy-nominated breakout performance of ‘Billie Jean’ from the ‘Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever’ television broadcast in May 1983.
