Anna Maria -- Michael JR

When Michael's boyhood voice changed, he couldn't perform for about a year. Then, when his voice was ready, he recorded his second CD, the Italian one. To promote the CD there was a second Video Concert planned. "Anna Maria" is one of the six songs from that second video concert. It is from a Helmut Lotti concert in Genk Belgium, in 2001, during Helut's "Latino Love Songs" period (you'll notice the Mexican chorus.) The project was intended for broadcast by PBS and other world outlets. The plan was to record half the album onstage live, and the rest as music videos from on location in Italy. The first "live" half of the project was completed. Then Michael went to Italy for the publicity photo shoot and to film the music videos. In the middle of this, the project was cancelled by his management. The six on-stage videos are all that is left of the second Concert Video Project and have never been released before.
