Why don't you read my own post and what actually happened.

Like talking about his actual inspirations and how he learned and became a songwriter, instead of that shit "it comes from God" rubbish. His thoughts of Africa and how Somalia was ignored in the Tsunami appeals, how African countries are portrayed in the media (i.e. not all just death and disease). It was a long ass interview though, loads of stuff was talked about.

I have to disagree cause he's been inspired. He's inspired by the music of today and that music is garbage and as a result, that's what Michael's been making: Hot Garbage. Michael needs to jump out of that garbage can and get washed up in some hot funk or some sizzling soul. Then and only then will MJ be the force he so desperately wants to be in music today. Unfortunately something tells me that he down with the foul stench and he probably won't leave the can for a while, if at all. Time will tell.

Why Does Mike Jackson need a Producer?????

Oh, thats right...

He Can't Do It By Himself.

If only he could, he might be as good as ... say...






Prince~

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: MICHAEL JACKSON

OKAY ?!?!?

You figured out Michael's plan..However keep in mind his plan won't with just any "recording artist of yesterday." Lionel Richie tried it a few years back and it flopped. Michael has a knack of writing good music and working with the right people. So what "Invincible" wasn't the best thing on the market..? It had some good tunes (and some equally shitty ones) However..What other artist has had hits in the 70's,80's,90's and 2001's..plus be in the rock and roll hall of fame twice? Michael is the one and only so give him some flack. You can't make an omlette without breaking some eggs as the saying goes. I bet Michael's next "new" album (not rehash of hits) will be interesting to say the least. I can't wait to hear it! Here is to hoping it is as good as HIStory (Disc 2) was.

uh huh. here's the problem. they'll start working on an album in, say, 2006. it'll take 2 years to complete, and by the time it comes out, Kanye will have been old news and the sound will be dated. just like the Rodney Jerkins stuff on Invincible. and the Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis stuff on History. and about half of his work with Teddy Reilly.

Ah, but I know something you don't know!

well aren't you cool. either say it or don't. no one's impressed by people that say they have info but never give up the goods.

buttcheeks said:

Oh so every fuckin' musician in the world has to do everything himself do they? Maybe if Prince worked with other people he might make music that other people actually like cos just like it was said by Morris Day 'he's playin shit that no one else wants to hear'. For the past four years Prince has just making the same music that James Brown did back in the 60s and 70s.

Prince's best album (to me anyway) and his most commercially successful was Purple Rain, an album in which he worked with other people (The Revolution). Something he should consider doing again.

C'mon Mike! U can do it!

I know, but I've promised not to breath a word because I'm not supposed to know

Let's just say that MJ is always making music, most of which never sees the light of day. He's always wasting money on producing rubbish that gets shelved. If he's called Kanye West then fine, but it's not for the next project, unless he's suddenly changed his mind.

Anyway, can't you just imagine Michael Jackson casually ending all conversations on the phone with other artists as "Yeah, we should make some tracks together, see ya!". I can.

I wish he would call Chad and Pharrell for a couple of trax too and self-produce the rest.

NO. MJ had good reason not to chose them the first time round. I think pharrel and teddy riley have beef too. Maybe MJ was being loyal to teddy by not choosing to work with the neptunes for "invincible"?

I for one, glad he chose rodney instead. Rodney understands Mike like Teddy did/does. Plus, listen to "we've had enough". Rodney helped on that. I cant see pharrel producing a song like that.

Anyway. Get rodney again. I like "you rock my world". But the video

Oh goodie, now we can probably look forward to more pretentiously overblown videos and a ridiculously huge budget in desperate attempt #6 to match Thriller's success.

You're overestimating the crappy Gulf based label.

PurpleKnight said:

Hmmmm. Considering mike is the only one who does this,it ain't too bad. Besides, nothing was more hype fucked then "phantom menace" (ok sorry)

Also, mike wont do that again. Without a major budget from a label for promotion, mike cant do that shit anymore (i hope)

Oh no. I haven't heard a note of it yet, but I can already tell that the results are going to suck. Mike should go into a totally new musial direction.

NWF said:

The fact is..the new song will come out and nobody will care and Michael will be deemed more of a flop. These Bahrain people took him in and helped heal him, to get him to record a song for them. Within a week of being there, they started saying that crap. I remember reading it and going...

I'm a huge Michael fan but if the guy had any business brains at all..he would come back to USA.....do a live performance at the BET awards this November, but before he performs again I for one think he is long overdue seeing a doctor about his issues with his childhood. After seeing the doctor A LOT, and performing at the BET awards, break his silence with an interview on TV (But after seeing a doctor he won't look so out of it like he did on Bashir.) Settle his beef with the concert promoter, after that open up shop in Los Vegas. He'd attract way bigger numbers than Celine - he has the talent factor plus and added interest level of "curiousity." After staying in Vegas, pulling in enough money (and interest back on his music and performing - not child abuse trials) he could probably get one hell of a major label deal..release some 10 minute videos and possibly a world tour.

However, I can tell my plan won't work seeing as he is probably going to drop a charity song with some unknown overseas label. Oh brother!!!
Sadly, I can tell this is not the direction Michael should be going and I am not a PR guy.

I wish I was Michael's PR guy.
Things would be so much better for him....and his fans.

DavidEye said:

co sign.

jasonstar said:

y'kno i'm feeling ur ideas (except 4 the bet awards thing - it screams desperate) but i honestly think he should take a LONG ASS break from the biz. the man has kids now for one. he needs to go to a doctor, get his mind right and raise his kids. and maybe after 7 or 8 years he can make a "comeback", and if he wanted he could make a website and release songs and vids to the fans via that if he wanted, but i think coming back to the spotlight any time soon would do more harm than good.

Erm, in 7 or 8 years he'll be in his mid 50s. No, a year is fine.

vainandy said:

thanks !!!

oh that therapy crap again. Leave Mike alone. I am sure that the best therapy for him is his music and dance. I just want him to do whatever makes him happy.

you haven' t heard it yet, and you already critisize. You know Mike never did what the others do, so I think that he' ll stick to his originality as he always has. All of his albums are different, yet they are bear a Michael Jackson mark. Love Invincible or not, but it is still clearly a Jackson project. You can' t compare his albums, because Off the wall ain' t no thriller, Thriller ain' t no Bad, Bad ain' t no Dangerous and Dangerous ain' t no History and than of course there' s Invincible which is also all completely different.

dag said:

actually, that's exactly the problem. he's made the same album 3 times now.

GangstaFam said:

Yeah, it sure would be nice. I agree with both comments. MJ hooking up with that egomaniac West won't do a thing for me.
