Hmm… TRP does have prior history of releasing Xmas tunes so if they are managing him, I’m sure it was their initial idea to release the song. I’m guessing Michael didn’t think the song was his best effort either so he said he’d do it only if all proceeds go to charity. Looking at today’s pop charts full of songs that are just as ‘meh’ or ‘bad’ for me, if not worse (despite slick promo and production) and all for profit, I won’t begrudge MJ for doing this–it’s actually cool.

In the Philippines, buying songs online isn’t as widespread in the US so I hear MJ’s song is available only at Mossimo shops (the clothing line that co-sponsored his gigs here). All proceeds also go to a charity for abused and disadvantaged kids. Even cooler.

My daughter has ALS, and it is a dreadful fast-moving disease — one that is difficult to diagnose. There is no cure, although research is going on for medications that may prolong life. The average life after diagnosing the disease is 2-5 years, although a few do live for 10 or even 20 years.

Thanks for posting MJ…… I love how the song speaks to those
away from their family at Christmas. It makes me think of all
of our armed forces, many who will spend their first Christmas
without their family in a foreign nation. What a BIG heart
Michael Johns has for donating his talent to 2 wonderful
causes. I’m so proud of him!

I love this song and would have bought it regardless, but the proceeds going to charity just makes it an even sweeter purchase. What a lovely thing for Michael to do!

Thanks so much for posting this, MJ!

Michael blogs…

Hi everyone as you may or may not know today is the release of my song Another Christmas.
All proceeds are going to MDA’s ALS division and The Red Cross. I believe very strongly in these charities. ALS is a horrible disease that robs you of everything. You lose the ability to walk, talk and move. However you keep all brain function. It’s like being in your own prison.
The Red Cross is such an important organiztion and i am dedicating this song to all the Troops serving abroad this Holiday. Another Christmas is really about being away from loved ones and telling them you miss them and love them.
I never intended to release a song i had written for my family, however it’s for such a great cause. I know you will all help me in raising as much money and awareness as you can. Download Another Chritmas at Itunes or Amazon

Smart move to make it for charity… it’s probably the only way to make some people buy this song. It’s just so meh and bad, I can’t even say it’s better than Ramiele’s, which is pretty boring already.

It’s great that the proceeds are going to charity, a very honorable thing to do.

About the song itself – I like the verses, the chorus not as much. I don’t know if it’s the lyrics or what (Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œweird bunch foreverÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ and “love eachother true” are sort of sketchy for me, dawg), but it’s not connecting with me. Also the production is too sparse, IMO.

I wish Michael Johns all the success in the world, and hopefully I’ll really enjoy his first single from the album. This one I’m not crazy about.
