Michael Jackson is determined to make his new album better than 'Thriller'.
The 50-year-old singer is so desperate to ensure his comeback is a success,
he has reportedly told songwriters he won't release the LP unless it is up
to the same standard as his 1982 smash-hit album.
Rapper Ne-Yo, who is working on the record, said: "Michael's new album has
to be amazing. This album needs to be better than 'Thriller'. He wants
killer melodies. I've already submitted some songs but we have no idea when
it's coming out. He keeps putting it off."
The rapper revealed Michael - who has become increasingly reclusive since he
was acquitted of child sex charges at his 2005 trial - is incredibly nervous
at the prospect of re-launching his career.
Ne-Yo added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Michael is very nervous as
he knows he's the underdog and people want him to fail. It's tough when all
eyes are on him and there is so much young competition out there."
The young star, who has written hits for Rihanna and Beyonce, also admitted
he was terrified at the prospect of meeting Michael, who he has looked up to
since he was a child.
He said: "My hands were shaking like never before. But the great thing is
that I get to work with my idol and he is really cool."
