We talked about Missy Elliott. We talked about Usher, of course. We talked about Justin [Timberlake], Celine Dion &#8230; Sting, Seal, Bono, Tina Turner. We talked about all these people that I thought were cool but that he liked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then, Payne said he asked Jackson if there was anyone else he wanted to reach out to. &#8220;He goes, &#8216;Lady Gaga.&#8217; I go, &#8216;Really?&#8217; He goes, &#8216;Yeah.&#8217; He&#8217;s the one who really got me to get into her. He literally told me, &#8216;You gotta get into her. She&#8217;s good.&#8217; So, I started listening to her music more and going on YouTube and looking at her performances, and I was like, &#8216;He&#8217;s right.&#8217; &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Payne did not specify in the video when these conversations took place. He said that last November, he got a call from Lady Gaga and told her the story about the conversation with Jackson. &#8220;She got moved by it,&#8221; he recalled. A spokesperson for Gaga could not be reached for comment about Payne&#8217;s claims.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtv.com\/news\/articles\/1629123\/20100106\/jackson_michael.jhtml\">MTV<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a new interview with Michael Jackson&#8217;s choreographer, Travis Payne, the late King of Pop was a big fan of Lady Gaga and had tried to set up a meeting to discuss a possible joint project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-michael-jackson-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Michael Jackson Wanted To Duet With Lady GaGa?
