What's you view of this song?

I think it's one of his best ever songs and vocals.

Beautiful.

and the next one 'speechless' isn't bad either!

Definitely one his best vocal performances and a great song. Listening to it with headphones gives me chills. An instant MJ classic.

I LOVE this song along with Heaven can wait

these songs remind me of 'Lady in my life' & 'Baby be mine'

I used to hear that song alot.....vocals r gorgeous, don't often hear him falsetto in verses.....such a smooth song! I might have to hear it again now, thanx!


"Speechless" is cool too, only Michael could do a song like that, and I love it too!!! Never hear it much though! I used to always hear the first 3 killers off "invincible", then "200 watts" and then go hear something else.....gotta hear it all again!

As 4 "the lost children"? Errrm, I can actually take "little susie" form "history" album and track has actually grown on me in a weird musical type way, but "lost children" is quite horrible though!!!

So true. I thought I had stepped into the 80s when I first heard Butterflies. I also think Whatever Happens is an amazing vocal performance that tends to get overlooked. Love it!

i love this song.....

'nuff said!!

1 good song per 6 year average

Whatever Happens is amazing

One of the few songs I enjoyed from 'Invincible'.
When I first heard it, it felt like he was saying to Maxwell and other smooth crooners; "now this is how it's done, youngin'".

a beeyutiful jam. Also notice "Dont Walk Away" that wouldve been perfect on "Dangerous"

great song. one of the keepers from that album. actually, i enjoy most of the love songs from that album. the fact that it has 3 or 4 that are so good makes you realize that it's something that's sorely been lacking in his output for the last several years.

i like Floetry's version better (but they are both very good)

They have a version of the same song??

ThreadCula said:

Yes, it's actually Floetry's song. Butterflies was a track they recorded for their demo they shopped around to get a record deal. Michael loved the song and wanted to record it, they allowed him to, if you listen closely you can hear Floetry. Floetry stated that Michael allowed them to add their flavor to his version while being interviewed on Soul Train. I love Floetry, but I have to say Michael's version is better. Check out their album "Floetic", Butterflies is on there.

Floetry "Floetic"

I like Whatever Happens as well as butterflies. It's a damn shame MJ likes to play w/little boys. He is a very gifted genius.

Beautiful track! Love it! I am not particurarly crazy about Invinceble, but this is one of the songs that knocks me out. Along with Heaven can wait!

probably my favourite track on Invincible.

which IS a great album (except for The Lost Children and Cry )

TheFrog said:

Totally agreeing on that! (btw, why the h*ll ask R Kelly to write any song?!! )

TheFrog said:

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Invincible is great. Add Privacy to the two tracks you mentioned and there you have the album's failings. Other than those three it's a fine piece of work. The ballads on there are his best since Off The Wall. And to my ears it's also his best overall set since Off The Wall.

Butterflies? Yeah, it's one of his very best. I'm glad he chose to record it.

TheFrog said:

I disagree with you here, "Cry" was a bautiful track written by R.Kelly, much better than "one more chance." And it was a singles as well and a video was made for it (crappy one at that.) And i like the lost children, and he brings up a great point at the beginning at how "we sing songs for the wishing, for those who are kissing but not for the missing." IT shows how MJ really feels about kids.

And Butterflies is an amazing vocal performance from MJ, i think there was another crappy video made for it as well, but still a great track.

I dont mind invincible, i just think it was overproduced and too many friggin writers. There were some tracks where it took 5 people to write a song.

jayaredee said:

Funny. I remember you saying it was crap.

There are great songs on invincible. But many craps too. Like 2000 Watts. It's the first time MJ sang that low I think. But song sucks

Whatever Happens
Speechless
Butterflies
Unbreakable
You Rock My World

the keepers

LightOfArt said:

I like 2000 Watts. True, when I first heard it I was like

But then I played it LOUD.

jayaredee said:

That pretty much sums up why I think The Lost Children is And naturally i disagree about Cry. It was a single true, but so was Mr Blobby.


see, i don't care how many people write a song if it kicks ass.
