24 September 2007

'Smack That' singer Akon has said he thinks Michael Jackson is a musical genius.

Akon has been collaborating with Jackson on tracks for his next album, and counts himself incredibly lucky to work with such a star.

Akon gushed, "He's incredible, he's a genius. Just to be in the same room... I felt everything I wanted to accomplish in life has been achieved. That aura..., that's how incredible that aura is."

"The way he thinks... some artists think regional, some think national, I was thinking international. He thinks planets. It's on another level."
