The New York Post reported Sunday that as part of a rumored comeback attempt by Jackson and to honor the 25th anniversary of the singer's hit album "Thriller," SoBe Life Water will air an advertisement modeled after the famed album during the Super Bowl.

While PepsiCo has not confirmed Jackson's involvement in the advertising campaign for the company's vitamin-enhanced beverage, an internal music from Sony Music said the TV spot next Sunday has been "confirmed."

The Post said that memo also referred to a "major TV, radio, online and outdoor advertising campaign" during the week of Feb. 8 that likely will be coordinated with the launch of Jackson's "Thriller 25" album.

Jackson's comeback also may include an appearance at the annual Grammy Awards Feb. 10, where the music star is expected to perform new or remixed versions of "Thriller" tracks.

Finally we're no longer going to have crappy performers at the Super Bowl since Ludacris was announced he was going to perform last week at the Super Bowl and now Michael Jackson! Now the Super Bowl won't be the only event exciting so will the halftime show because MJ is back!<3

Finally something that has nothing to do with Usher.

Oh please not every thread of mine has been talking about new Usher music Sometimes it's just a discussion but this is big!

it sounds interesting!! espero un buen regreso para el rey del pop! (supposed) king of pop

What's so funny? You can't laugh about the king!

Dammit i have to work during the superbowl. >: [! I wanna see my Patriots finish their undefeated season.

But I don't think MJ will do it, his face is falling apart again, rememba? If anything he might appear on stage and that would be pretty much it.

I can buy and support Ludacris though...

there will just be an advertising showing mj and akon for the album.

nothing to brag about.

Trying to steal the spotlight from Jordin

Kevin is just crazy lately, don't worry about him.

Remember when the last Jackson performed on Super Bwol? This won't be good, I know it... And no, I'm not bashing the "king", I'm just saying he won't be able to pull off those amazing performacne he couls on the 80's... Well, let's wait and hope everything will turn out right.

What's up with you attacking Evan and I lately? Get a life? Perhaps? Obviously we mean more to you than you think. Or you wouldn't spend 24/7 bringing us up in every thread. Do you like Evan? I? Oh my...

*ps: someone should quote this *

What a comeback!
