 CB, you want it all. You won't be satisfied until he gives you the key to his vault, right? 
Anyway, I think its a nice cover art. 'Number Ones' was good but this is really something that looks really amazing. Does anyone know what kind of styles the unreleased songs are? BlueNote | |

I just think that those songs deserve inclusion on a retrospective like this. Hell, why didn't he just make it a six disc set?
Also, I'm a little disappointed with the DVD. A Bad era show would've been more appreciated.  | |

"Wanna Be Startin' Something" "Human Nature" "Smooth Criminal"
"I Just Can't Stop Loving You" "She's Out of My Life" "I Want You Back"/"The Love You Save" "I'll Be There" "Thriller"
"Billie Jean" "Working Day & Night" "Beat It" "Will You Be There"
"Black or White"
"Heal the World"
"Man in the Mirror"
= lip-synched.

The pics make that box set seem really cheap for some reason - they could have done a much better job with the artwork and disc design. | |

Since he got caught paying a kid for rape in 1993. EVERY Project (except the $70 Million Budget Invincible) Has been with a Greatest Hits Package tagged to it  )
1) History (Had Greatest Hits because HE knew the public wouldnt want to hear his new shit) 2) Blood on the Dance Floor ( Had Greatest Hits too) 3) Inivincible ( the ONLY project with all new music on it's own and IT BOMBED ) 4) Number Ones (Hey another Greatest Hits Package ) 5) Box Set (WOW another Greatest Hits Package Does he have NO shame.. ) i'll answer each comment in turn. 1. Wrong. people were interested. it shifted 15 million units. highest selling double album of all time. Earth Song was his biggest selling single ever despite not getting a release in the states. however 'You are not alone' went straight in at #1 on Billboard. That had never happened before. 2. No it didn't. 3. Again wrong. 8 or 9 million sold by anyone is not to be considered a flop. Sony screwed that album there are at least 3 classic MJ tracks on there IMO. 4. His first stand alone Greatest Hits Package. 5. This isn't a greatest hits set in the slightest. sure it has a few hits, but there is a lot of obscure and lesser known songs on it to keep the fans happy too. I don't suppose he takes into consideration all the haters when he puts his projects together. Why should he give a fuck what they have to say anyway? And for a guy who has 'no talent' he's sure had a long career and a lot of hits over the years. i wonder why. I'll let your fuckwit rape comment go. You advertised your own stupidity loud and proud for all to see all on your own.
[Edited 9/10/04 2:29am] Wrong. A few years ago, Sony released a single-disc version of HIStory (ie. just disc one), with all the hits on it. The cover had MJ's dancing feet on it. http://www.amazon.com/exe...ce&s=music [Edited 9/11/04 11:47am] | |

It's just strange they don't include "Scream", of all songs. I just don't understand why they can't release a decent collection of his stuff that includes all the hits and more. I'm not that big a fan that I would pick this up unless it's shockingly cheap, which it won't be. | |

There's still plenty of time mate. I take comfort in the fact that almost all the concerts he has ever performed were professionaly filmed. They can't sit on that footage forever | |

This looks damn fine to me. 
re: the dvd, i agree with cloudy though, i'd have been much happier with something from Bad instead of Bucharest.
and way to level the facts Marrk.  | |

christ, what a mess. the extras should have been included with the remastered albums a couple years ago. the new stuff should be on a comprehensive greatest hits/best of (and no, i don't mean that bullshit #1's album from last year, or even the first disc of History). and the DVD... why bother? "I don't need your forgiveness, cos I've been saved by Jesus, so fuck you." | |

B. Does anyone know if the new and previously unreleased stuff is any good?
Well, from the rare songs, I ve heard Someone put your hand out and Monkey Business. Both really incredible songs! SOmeone put your hand out is not a fast record, not even slow. It´s a bit mid-tempo balad. Mike sings in his higher register. It has beautiful melody. The song is like "flying". I don´t know how better to discribe it. And BEAUTIFUL lyrics. One of my favourites. SOMEONE PUT YOUR HAND OUT I'm so undemanding 'cause they say love is blind I've lived this life pretending I can bear this hurt deep inside The truth is that I'm longing For love that's so devine I search this whole world wishing shell be there Time after time Someone put your hand out I'm begging for your love All I do is hand out A heart that needs your love I've lived my life a lonely A soul that cries of shame In handicaped emotions save me now While the wound still remains I'll be your story hero I'll serenade in rhyme I' m just needing at someone save me now Come out of my mind Someone put your hand out Begging for your love 'Cause all I do is hand out A heart that needs your love Someone put your hand out (I'm begging for your love) Begging for your love All I do is hand out A heart that needs your love When you say we will dance until the light of day It's just like the children of earth's joy When we pray Will you promise me you'll always stay It's because I'm needing that someone Someone put your hand out I'm begging for your love All I do is hand out A heart that needs your love Someone put your hand out I'm begging for your love All I do is hand out A heart that needs your love Someone put your hand out I'm begging for your love All I do is hand out love ANd Monkey business has a strong melodic base. Michael sings with his deep voice. Great melody again. I really love that song. I am dissapointed that it doesn´t contain Xcape. Which is fabulous song. Better than any off Invincible. It´s a fast song. Something like Tabloid Junkie with more "dangerous album" sound. Great melody! Michale sings the verse in a really deep voice, but the chorus i great. Killing background vocals. Fantastic melody. With great effects to give you the impression of Xcape (it could remind you of Madonna´s Die another day too, maybe) And great lyrics as well. Can´t find them right now, but if I will, I´ll post them for you. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

Yeah Dag, "xscape" is a good track (sounds more like "Speed demon" to me though, which is NOT a Bad thing) but u musta heard "for all time" and "Serious effect", both songs r classics in my opinion! "Serious effect" has some of the most inventive backing vox by jacko i've ever heard!
Have u also heard "if u don't love me", an odd, rocky track in the same vein as janet's "What'll I do".....very,very simple lyrics.....I like it though! "Monkey business" is an original track that only Mike could do (same with "Serious effect"), this uniqueness was missing on History and Invincable album with a few execptions.....though "unbreakable" is classic Jackson that was dying to be the first single from "Invincable"! These few outtakes we will be getting have huge potential people.....and I know their r 100's more locked in his vault that could be very,very good.....I hope we get a prince Crystal ball soon..... | |

Have you ever heard Trouble, Nightline and Hot Street, from the Thriller sessions?
Yes I have those songs. They´re all fast and you can tell they were recorded in Thriller era. I think the best song out of these 3 is Hot Street. BTW it´s Michaels favorite song! He wanted it on the album. He thought it could have been a huge hit, but Quincy and Rod Temperton didn´t like it that much. He said that on Mexican depositon tape in 1993. But sorry, I don´t know where to find them. I got them from a friend.

Yeah I have serious effect as well. Great song! Dangerous album type of song! And I love the album Dangerous. It´s great. Haven´t heard If you don´t love me though. Iĺl try to get it. Has anyone heard a song called Midnight groove? Or something like that. There was once on the internet a tiny piece of it. It were just Michael´s vocals, but the melody was just breathtaking. Damn I wish he would release all that!!!! I am sure he has enough great material to release another 10 albums!

"The key to re-hearing the music of the biggest album in music history is Michael's voice. All of the tools that he'd been developing since 'I Want You Back' are in full effect. The grace, the aggression, the growling, the natural boyishness, the falsetto, the smoothness - that combination of elements that mark him as a major vocalist are abundantly clear. Just as he learned from Stevie Wonder, Jackie Wilson and James Brown, Michael has educated R. Kelly, Usher, Justin Timberlake and countless others with Thriller as the textbook."
It's disgusting! Why even mention usher and timberlake on such a big project? | |
