    What a bad rumour. So they haven't picked american/ brit stars, the venue was switched from vienna 2 london just yesterday, and yet they've managed 2 secure Haifa who no one in the west knows & who would destroy any MJ song singlle-handedly. If u believe that then you'd believe anything.

    sam, this is not a rumor, Haifa herself said that she was invited to perform the song, but that was before they postponed the tribute to June 2010, it was supposed to be on September 26th.. But who knows what might happen till June 2010, everything could change!

    first thing frist it's not a rumor haife was invited with 25 stars but it did got postponed cuz our american stars like chris brown natalie cole mary j blage and some others cannot make it to the tribute so that's why it was postponed and jackson's mother thinks london will be the best place for the tribute. and between me and u as for my girl haife she do need this time to learn how to sing in english cuz the closest I have heard her sing in english was( I will survive ) and it was in arabic. the song ( you are not alone) reminds me of how haife lately is starting to look like micheal jackson I think they share the same doctors.

    Well if it's true...I will be pressing the mute button when it's broadcast on TV during her segment & settle with peeping through my fingers. A western audience will surely cringe. Why would they give Haifa 'You are not alone' but not R. Kelly who wrote it, or his sister Janet or Beyonce who I'm not a fan of but atleast has a voice! I still find it hard to believe. And I don't believe anything that flies out of Haifas mouth. Do you remember when she was asked about plastic surgery? What was he reply? 'I don't need plastic surgery'...It's in utube. Therefore I shan't believe this rumour either until an official announces something.

    Haifa singing "you're not alone"! It will be a disaster! She will kill the song. MJ will wake up from his tom if he hears Haifa singing "you're not alone".
    Honestly I don't belive that Haifa or Nancy or Elissa would be able to sing it. Hard to imagine.

    I'm sure she would do a fine job at singing at his tribute but it would be preffered if they picked Najwa Karam who has a very strong voice that could bring tears to people's eyes

    People, can you please get the right information before you comment.

    Harajly is right, Haifa said it herself in the latest Jaras interview. You can find the magazine in their site.

    But it was delayed until 2010 because as they said before, they couldn't find any one to perform.

    Harajly - Haifa herself has said she is doing many different things that NEVER happen. EXAMPLE: two American movies. one with Cuba Gooding jr. and the other with Billy Zane.

    Haifa cant even sing her own Arabic songs live without sounding like total CRAP, and they are going to have her sing in English to a Michael Jackson song. lol she is going to embarrass herself royally.

    I doubt this is going to happen. Something will happen when the time comes, and she wont be apart of it. Haifa has constantly said things over the years that just never ever happen to get attention.

    nobody outside of the arabic world even know who she is. she is completely unknown to about 90% of the worlds population.

    LebLove, LOL ! Inno come on, Najwa Karam singing for Michael Jackson ?!
    Majdn, thank you :)
    Tania, I agree, but its just that Haifa's projects seem to never work out.. Everything she says turns out to be a lie, or just doesnt work after all.. But the Michael Jackson thingy, I doubt thats a lie, I mean it was scheduled for September 26th, and Haifa announced it a week ago, so what would have happened if she was lying? I mean we would definitely know when the show is on.. Now its postponed, so yeah its possible that they will cut her off or something until June 2010 !
    Lina, Haifa never said that.. It was the media talking not Haifa, but I think Carmen Electra actually came, or not.. I know that Anastacia was there.

    Hamood w bass, Najwa Karam is one of the best female artists in the middle east, and one of my favorite artists too, but I cant imagine her powerful voice singing Michael Jackson songs! lol I dont even think she can sing in English, it would be really weird.

    Haifa manager,

    last time they said she will be on air august 31, i have been waiting for her to show up, but she didnt come, i dont know why they keep lying and continue doing rumors of their gossip, and now that writer saying she'll be performance of MJ songs, i dont believe that.
    to the writer stop lying!!!
    i cant take it anymore...

    i got bored and went to see disney land when they said she'll be on oprah show last time.

    beside Oprah is waiting for huge person on her show, Whitney Houston.

    Alain,
    am stock, i dont know which one is tasty?
    is it the lamb or goat meat?!
    the butcher lie to me and he gave me a bad lahm this time!!

    Allen, that’s an eye contacts!!

    her eyes color is gray not blue, maybe you need to know haifa really carefully before you criticize her....

    just wondering about her sister, are they getting along? or her sister still trying to kill her again, since i dont have a sister, maybe were not going to get along like them, well i got my grandma and she really have a great friends. like one of them i met this morning, we been talking too long, and it is nice talking to her but some words I don’t understand of what she said, but I understand her in the last one, she said she want a grape and i gave it to her, so she start to chew it but she couldn’t, I been waiting for her 30 minutes to crush it but still the grape is in there. Finally I helped her cause I make her to swallow it by force, I mean by gently, and she did it!!. Do you know what she said after she swallow it, aftagatha aaleinaba.
    maybe I did a good thing.

    i know were young right now, but when we get older, we don’t know what our life is gonna be

    we will never be old , ahmed, with a good cosmetic surgeon we will do an obstacle to wrinkles ...we'll have an ultra bright smile , shapely buttocks ... so we will be able to swallow a grape without difficulty...you can even wear the same lens as those of this singer...both we'll look like twins...you can't hold back progress!!!...hope that wehbe will give us her surgeon email address in order that we could contact him...
    ahmed my friend wake up...This person has nothing natural ...watch on youtube how she looked before and after cosmetic surgery...it's inflatable *** puppet...she shows a bad image of women in general and eastern woman in particular ...i prefer from far fairuz, om kalsoom...though i like her song "wawa"...

    This is wonderful news..Haifa Wehbe was a good decision!! But I dont think it will happen because, god knows what will happen between now and June of 2010. I mean Michael's brother Jermaine is the creator for the concert and he is not supported but the entire Jackson family. I'm assuming that this concert wont take place becuase Jermaine just listed american celebs who were going to be at the Vienna concert but more than half never knew about it, everything was 100% mis-represented! Lets see..

    Tania, You are funny..but the part where you say that 90% of the world does not know who Haifa Wehbe is. Actually, you would be surprised to know how many people who Haifa Wehbe is.

    Haha !! Come on, it's a tribute it's supposed to be decent! and with haifa wehbe stripping i don't see how it's gonna happen:P ! I mean they should definitely pick a lebanese singer to represent the arab world, but not haifa no way!! Nacy Ajram will do a great job! she is superb and definitely more famous than Haifa !!!!!
