Sorry, I'm an MJ fan, but that sounds like someone strangling a cat.



No it doesn’t


Yes it does, and that's auto-tuned.
Talk about an example a vocal prowess.

Michael built a style and a personality of his own.
Pity they stayed the same for twenty years: "Whoo!", "hee-hee", "Dah!",
I mean after a while it gets on your nerves. Lots of gimmicks and not much substance.

There are very, very good singers everywhere in soul music history, Michael found a pretty unique manchild approach
and it hit a nerve, but he's not the incredible, fabulous, untouchable singer some fourties-and-some would like to believe.
His technique owes a lot to Stevie Wonder circa "Innervisions".


Considering MJ and Stevie are lighter tenors I don’t think MJ owes him anything. Their vocal types are somewhat similar.

Yeah, okay then...he couldn't hit the high notes that he could before 18, after the nose surgeries. He was not the same vocalist from Off the The Wall ...onward. So sorry, I do not agree, that he did not have a wider range.




What man hits the same notes post puberty that they do pre?

Range isn’t high notes only. It’s the notes you can hit topto bottom.

MJ, Wuincy and Seth have all said Seth started working with MJ during off the wall to expand his range
and that it exceeded 3.5 octaves. I’ll taje their word before yours.


1. Every properly trained singer.

2. Octaves to music are not inches to penises. But if that's your thing...


You don’t know what you’re talking about. Men don’t hit puberty at 18. Men don’t hit the same notes post puberty as they do pre. They just don’t. Like I stated earlier you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Purplegarden

He was born with a spark and seemed to be a sponge growing up, he could observe big stars like James Brown, Sam Cooke, The Temptations and Jackie Wilson and then imitate them, but had enoughg gravitas to make his own style. Plus he had an incredible voice for singing and I think with Michael he also had the desire to make it and later wanted the world domination of pop music.

Michael knew he had the talent early on and wanted to act on it, Joe must have thought he hit the jackpot when he knew he had a potential future star like Michael in his brood. Like Peter Griffin said in Family guy "Have a whole bunch of kids and then one will be famous, then whose paying the bills - Hollywood kid".

I got plenty good loving for ya baby

When did I say anything about men hitting puberty?

They just do. It's called falsetto in pop music, and countertenor in classical music,
but you know that, don't you, Misstra Know-it-all.

I sang in world-famous churches and even Opera halls as a kid,
I think I have a little idea of what I'm talking about.

Update:

To be clear, my studio work with Quincy and some of the old MJ crew was NOT for a “Michael Jackson” project. We only did a few instrumental tracks for an autobiography of Quincy Jones’ life and career (to be released by Netflix).
