I have always loved Paul's features with MJ. Take for instance "Say Say Say" that was on PAUL MCARTNEY Pipes of Peace album. The video IS EMAZING!!!!! Cartney is old but MJ is so deliciously sexay in the video. The jerri curls and that sexi straight full white teeth smile, gawd I miss him. See video below and give your thoughts? Whose vocals did you like better between MJ and Pual on PAUL MCARTNEY'S Say Say Say song?

Disclaimer: But oh this thread is not about MJ I promise.

It was a fail for Paul to collab with MJ vocally because it shows just how weak his vocals are compared to him, thoughts? I feel the same way about their other duets.

This song is just a LOT of fun so is the video. I'm glad they worked together.. I also like "The Girl Is Mine"

Yes, my thoughts are -- that's crazy.

.

Paul was in his 40s at Pipes of Peace (1983) and starting to pass his peak, vocally. ("Say, Say, Say" is hardly the kind of song that taxes either man's voice anyway.)

.

I suggest you listen to this before you declare Paul's vocals a "fail" in comparison to Michael:

That's Paul on vocals, guitar, bass, piano, and drums, btw.

There's another duet between them on Pipes of Peace called "The Man". It has a pretty melody but is awful, sounding saccharine and fake with meaningless lyrics.

This should be in the MJ Sticky

Getting daring with these MJ threads...

No. It should not. It's about Paul McCartney.

Its a McCartney song with Jackson singing back-up so definitely like McCartney's vocals over MJ's.

How did you come to this conclusion when its a duet?

We'll see...

It's an ok song, very average for these two great artists

Okay so someone said Paul's vocals were better than the Kang's? How? And in what universe? PLEASE elaborate for us all? MJ is sanggging on Say Say Say. MJ should have kept that song for himself.

Between these three: Which one is the best duet?

Thanks sis, but after listening to that song I still think

MJ wins by a land slide.

Thanks for the song , I love the emotion Paul conveys when he sings and he has a lot of personality but in all his duets with Michael its pretty clear MJ is the stronger vocalist.

Many have looked at me "funny" when I've said this in the past, but in my humble opinion..."The Girl is Mine" is the best track on 'Thriller'.

Why is it your favorite? I love it too just wish it was just MJ on the song.

Really? i love that song but the best?

To me, it's the one "real" song on the album. Everything else has that 80s electronic sound...not a bad thing, but 'The Girl is Mine' stands out as true musicianship. Kinda basic, but still awesome.

Agree, the simplistic nature of the song and mellow production is why I love it.

I liked it as a kid (of course), but I honestly think it's one of MJs more overrated tracks.

I know, I know...but I'm one of the few who believe Mike never topped "Off the Wall"

Off The Wall is the pop bible.

Now can you please explain to me why in the world you think Billie Jean is overrated

Its pop perfection
