What more can I give?
Following the tragic events on September 11, Michael Jackson recorded the charity single "What more can I give?". The single features performances by Anastacia, Shawn Stockman and Michael McCary of Boyz II Men, Mariah Carey, Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys, Aaron Carter, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Hanson, Michael Jackson, Beyonce Knowles of Destiny's Child, Ricky Martin, Ziggy Marley, Reba McEntire, Brian McKnight, Mya, N'Sync, Tom Petty, Carlos Santana, Jon Secada, Shakira, Thalia, Usher, Luther Vandross and 3LW.
"Todo para ti", the Spanish version of the song, has also been recorded. This record features performances by Anastacia, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Julio Iglesias, Michael Jackson, Ricky Martin, Luis Miguel, Mya, N'Sync, Laura Pausini, Carlos Santana, Jon Secada, Shakira, Thalia, Luther Vandross, and others. Mariah Carey about the song: "It's an honor to be here. From what [Michael] said, it's a song really close to his heart. Hopefully it will have a strong impact on the world."
Plans were to release the two singles through McDonald, after Michael's record company Sony had no interest. The McDonald's deal fell through, but it was said another deal was on the way. That was the last we heard of the singles, and that was months ago. Now there are rumours that "What more can I give" will finally be released in late August, almost one year after the disaster. And it will only be released in Japan.
There are also rumours that Michael Jackson is planning a series of concerts to promote the single. He is negotiating with different artists, like Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, N'Sync, and Carlos Santana, to participate in the concerts. Michael already sang the song at the Washington, D.C. benefit concert on October 21, which was renamed just for the song. (ENews Online)
