Chris Brown's dreams of working with his idol, Michael Jackson, may soon be realized as the two are in talks to collaborate on Jackson's forthcoming studio album.
"We got a chance to meet at the World Music Awards and we're talking to his management about when we can set up a date to be working on his album," Brown told Billboard. "It would be an honor and a blessing for me to work with my idol. He's one of the reasons I do my music."
Brown recently performed Jackson's now legendary hit, "Thriller," in tribute to the King of Pop at the 2006 World Music Awards.
Usher, another long-time admirer, may also be added to Jackson's laundry list of potential collaborators which also include Akon and G-Unit affiliate DJ Whoo Kid.
"We actually spoke about doing something, but nothing more than a conversation. It was for his project," Usher told KIIS FM host Ryan Seacrest.
As previously reported on SOHH, Jackson's as yet untitled set is due out later this year on Two Seas Records and is expected to include production from will.i.am, who incidentally is nominated for a Grammy for producer of the year.
