Reports: BTS Involved in Secret Michael Jackson Music Project Featuring Unreleased Track
Rana Atef On Sunday, a new report by the Irish Sun claimed that trending K-pop group BTS took part in a secret music project involving a previously unreleased Michael Jackson track recorded in 2006. The song was initially intended for a new album by the late King of Pop, but the project was halted before completion. It was recorded at Grouse Lodge Studio, a converted stable in the Irish countryside, where Jackson had several recording sessions during his stay, alongside notable names like producer Rodney Jerkins and singer Ne-Yo. Studio owner Paddy Dunning recently stated that the tracks were part of a tribute album concept. For the first time, he revealed that BTS was among the 'global stars' invited to re-record some of the songs. 'We began the sessions last year,' Dunning said. 'We hosted BTS here at Grouse Lodge, where they recorded one of the tracks.' The project reportedly included around ten tracks linked to Michael Jackson, either written or developed in collaboration with his Irish-based team at the time. He confirmed that preparations are ongoing, with support from members of Jackson's original creative team. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Egyptian Critics Join 2025 Golden Globes Voting Panel
Egyptian film critics and cultural figures are joining the voting panel for the 2025 Golden Globes, marking a rare moment of representation in one of the world's most influential film award bodies. Aug 04, 2025 Egypt will have a stronger presence than ever at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, with eight Egyptian critics and cultural figures joining the official voting panel. The newly appointed members include film critic Hosam Fahmy, an active voice in the Arab Cinema Center's Critics Awards. Also serving as voters are TV host, actor, and producer Mico Saad; journalist and editor Moetaz Elshafey; writer and critic Mohamed Hashem A. Tawfik; journalist and critic Mohamed Abdelgalil; film critic Wael Khairy; journalist Ramy Nawar; and Yasmine Shihata, founder and CEO of Enigma Magazine. The Golden Globes are among the most closely watched film and television awards worldwide. While Egypt has long played a central role in Arab cinema, its influence in shaping award outcomes in the West has historically been minimal. The inclusion of Egyptian voices on the panel reflects a growing international recognition of regional critics and cultural commentators. The 2025 Golden Globe Awards will take place on January 5th.
