:wow:

Just think if Mike wasn't beefed out with Quincy Jones and actually made his appearance on Secret Garden :wow:. I forgot who Q replaced him with, it was either El Debarge :ehh: or Al B Sure :scusthov:

It was Al B :heh:

That hologram was wack with them struggle ass moves. How you have a hologram perform a newly released song? Doesn't help that I don't like the version that ended up on the album

yeah they could have rocked with the original slave to the rhythm and not lost anything, new version is good but i agree the original is better. the hologram looked stiff, nice thought but overall failed execution, like it was rushed.

Al B was the weakest on that collab too :russ:. classic indeed but Mike would have added more to it.

favorite track off the album is a toss up between Loving You the timbo version and the OG recording of Chicago

Sony has the rights to MJ's music until 2017 and 10 albums :damn:
If they handle the rest of the albums like they did this one, they shouldn't get the complaints about what happened with Michael....or Pac's albums :snoop:

And there is a lot more to eat
List of unreleased Michael Jackson songs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't care for most of MJ's 2000 music, but Late 70's through early 90's stuff i must hear before i leave this earth :blessed:

There is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more than that too :wow: Although you can hear his vocals in the background, can you imagine if Michael kept "Joy" for himself instead of giving it to Blackstreet? :damn: I remember hearing about the planned Run-DMC collabo. They (particularly DMC) been talkin' greasy about Mike for years wtf was their problem? :pacspit:

ETA: Found their article from Rolling Stone 1986. Starting to make some sense why their album sales dipped even after a major tour :ufdup:

Why cant any of these current R&B musicians put so much emotion into a song and also have songs with a purpose the way Mike did? You rarely hear an MJ song thats about "nothing" like almost every song on the radio is now.

i wouldn't argue that all, liberian girl :wow:

Don't be hating on Al B. Damned, he was decent on Secret Garden... though we all know that was studio magic because he can't sing for shyt. Though Michael on the track would've been flames... :wow:

Dat genuine emotion :wow:

It's because he was a true artist that deeply cared about his craft. When he sang a song, he really dug in and owned it. Look how he transformed 'Chicago' from what could've been a generic song into something deep and relatable.

I was listening to "Remember The Time" recently and when he started spazzing out towards the end of the track, I kept thinking that no artist today could or would ever do something like that...and it was probably completely spontaneous too.

That natural passion is sorely missing in our contemporary artists.

You know he dedicated RTT to Diana Ross right? :sas1:



RTT was supposed to be on the Dangerous Tour...I always wondered why he took out :damn:

Man im over here listening to the old albums and some shyt i thought of got me dying laughing. Can you imagine a prime Funk Flex on the radio when Thriller-Bad era MJ was dropping hits. Im just imagining the amount of bombs and rewinds Flex would drop on the intro to Bad alone.
