Personally, I wish Michael would bring us back to his music, and perform live, Everywhere, in smaller venues.....but I'm sure this will never happen...

Reelase a outtake album or 2. He has 100's!

Drop an album with his brothers (this was menat to happen way back in 1997 for fucks sake )

get round to releasing a "victory" tour DVD and a "bad" one with loads of extra's. Drop "captain eo" and put it on the same disc as "moonwalker" which would also have loads of extra's.!

He should release four albums in the span of 1 year
1 double live album of all his hits
1 of all new material
1 cover album of rnb songs... he has to include prince's Adore
1 remake of Apepetite for destruction playing with velvet revolver

have a break.

take a serious amount of time before doing anything at all.

- MJ should do a duets album (including Diana Ross)

- MJ should tour North America (stadiums of 50,000+)

- MJ should release a pop record with plenty of self-production. He should work with the Neptunes on the rest of it.

"He should work with the Neptunes on the rest of it"

This is EXACTLY what he should NOT do. But it's also what he most likely WILL do. Mike needs to stop chasing hits and just make music.

I agree with you EMattP¤-

I've been saying it for years, If Micheal did an MTV "Unplugged"- His Career would start all over again.Take away all the grunts, the loud effects and the OVer the top Production and Micheal would hurt them..

But I think that clouds are too low for him to see through it - lol -

Yeah, if he just sat down at a piano and played and sang, it would compeltely suprise everyone! No grunts, no fireworks, just him, his glasses and a piano...

everybody thinks im nutz!

Just one night put away the highwater pants and loafers
grab a guitar, sit by at the piano
and just sing man
he can tell stories about how he wrote some songs etc...
that would be so cool

be we all know...
that his ego is much to big for that

dude made himself into a statue...

Learn 2 play an instrument...

Seems like a lot of MJ fans want the same thing: The Unplugged type set. I remember thinking about this like 10 years ago but it often seems like whatever you really want Michael to do, he won't do. His ego may be too big for it but does he really have a choice? For all the years he's been in the business and for all the things he has done, there are a few real basic things he hasn't done.

Spins, moonwalks, explosions and big productions are kinda old now. Tour the USA already, get rid of the dancers and SING. Just sing. Damn.

A duets disc would be nice too.

Retire.

I so wanted sony to put out the adult "i'll be thete" onto radio just before the boxset dropped. But of course, the adult "i'll be there", as fantastic as it is, was not chosen (U can hear bits of it on the "i'll be there" pepsi commercial. As i have stated before, it can bring me to tears.)

I think most of the record should be self-produced. But here is my rationale for having the Neptunes produce the rest of it. Timberlake's Rock Your Body was supposed to be on Invincible! That Neptunes production would have catapulted MJ back into the stratosphere! I think that an MJ/Neptunes collaboration would be magical!

Dont underestimate the Neptunes!

I don't think anything was done to promote the boxset.
No single was released or anything.

and hell yeah I want the I'll Be There duet between Mike and Michael

drop the ego.....

Rock My World was better than Rock Your Body IMO. It has nothing to do with the song and everything to do with the promotion on JT as the great white pop hope.

intha916 said:

Rock Your Body would have been an even bigger hit for MJ. It was written for him!

dreamfactory313 said:

i have to agree with that

that and Cry Me a River

both written for MJ

not to mention U don't have to call from ushers 8701 album

Michael should release a few more Greatest Hits. Then do a tell-all documentary where he has no control of the editing.

Luv4oneanotha said:

Thank u! I agree with u 1000%!! If the Neptunes have more brilliant songs like that for MJ that are ready to go, MJ NEEDS TO GET IN THE STUDIO AND RECORD THEM NOW!! Pharrell and Chad are dying to get MJ in the studio with them!

The idea of MJ singing Cry Me A River gives me chill bumps!

Therapy.

and lots of it.

IF, he gets out of this, and that's a BIG IF; his musical career is probably over (in the U.S. anyway).

I think he needs to work behind the scenes more.
Writing music for others to sing.
He should work on a musical.
Like a musical version of Lord of the Flies.
Think about it - a musical with an all pre-teen male cast - he'd be in heaven!

I've always predicted that if MJ actually beats this case, then he's going to chill for a bit and get his head together. Then he's going to work on an album that will be the best of his career. The album will probably reflect the more serious aspects of his life and will and it'll all be put into perspective. He'll just need the right producers though.
