Britney Spears has said she thinks Michael Jackson is a genius.
The pop princess, who says she has always looked up to the singer, is due to perform 'The Way You Make Me Feel' with Jackson at his 30th anniversary gigs in New York's Madison Square Garden in September.
"I love him because he's not only a singer, but he's a performer as well. He is a genius," said Spears. "When he gets on stage, he just takes over."
The concert will be filmed for a two-hour TV special. Other big names included on the line-up are Destiny's Child, NSync and Nelly Furtado.
