tell me about it. i cringed when i saw that. i'd do the same with 50 and MJ. That just sounds like all kinds of wrong right there.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

In 20 years when it all blows over he can record a record af jazz standards.


I've always felt with a producer like Quincey, Jazz was his style along with Soul and RnB. But I doubt he will be able to go that route anymore since he is so stuck in the pop/rock/sappy arena.

no I mean a total absence from the music world, so everyone forgets all about him, and then do this record, although quincy would be very old by then confused

I think MJ should turn down this offer from Whoo Kid (whoever the fuck he is, never heard of him and he's supposed to have enough power in the industry to set up an MJ/50 duet). Then when he's made it clear to these mofos that he has no intention of collabing with the "flava of the month" (in all fairness, 50 Cent has proven to be the flava of the last few years. Props to him, most rappers don't make it past their first hit) he should look up Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton and say "let's do it!" He's gotta bring the team back. Quincy said in 2000 or 2001 (or around that time) that if Mike wanted to work with him, all he had to do was call him and Quincy would be more than happy work with the mofo.

Michael, Quincy and Rod. The team. It's just gotta happen again. Someone should tell Mike to listen to Off The Wall and Thriller again and remember the magic Quincy, Rod and himself created.

Interesting post...In my opinion, MJ should go with three people for the album: Rick Rubin, Pharrell and Floetry....Rick would be great because his production style allows artists to keep their own sound; As for the dance oriented R&B stuff Pharrell should work with Mike with this...Lastly I would go with the Floetry girls to handle a real slow jam (I think "Butterflies" showed that MJ still can pull it off)....He just needs to stay away from that souless and contrived King Of Pop shit....Hell, R&B is the new pop music anyway....Of course, all this depends on if the man can get his head and personal life in order....

I don't think so. On Invincible, I liked Break of Dawn more than Butterflies. It was Michael's vocals on Butterflies that made it a great track. The song itself isn't that good.

As for Pharell, he wrote an album for Michael about 2/3 years ago, but Mike turned it down. The album was (loosely) Justified, but I think when the album was given to Jt after MJ turned it down, alot of the tracks were changed and substituted for others. I don't think MJ likes Pharell's music. R Kelly also reckons he's got an album lined up for Michael (who, when he said this, reffered to Michael as "King Michael Jackson"). I don't know if Mike has heard this album or not. You Are Not Alone was a good song, so maybe an R Kelly/Michael Jackson produced album could turn out well.

I would still prefer Michael work with Quincy Jones again, over any of today's "hot" producers. Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton and Michael Jackson all the way!

Yeah...its well documented that MJ turned the Neptunes tracks down...I think those songs turned out alright for Justine "I'm doing my best MJ impression" Timberlake (LOL)...If you have any reservations about the Neptunes just pick up the first two NERD albums...those dudes can certainly produce beyond the typical R&B groove...

The trouble with MJ these days is he doesn't have enough imput with the writing...When he hooks up with these folks he should make it a point to actually collaborate with these producers..That means lock the studio doors and write some heartfelt shit...As for Floetry, most fans of Off The Wall dug "Butterflies"...I missed MJ doing the jazzy soulful stuff...It was a surprising turn...

To me this album should be as stripped-down as possible...MJ is not going to get anywhere following R. Kelly in the studio...He needs to make a kick ass R&B/soul/dance album without all the bells and whistles...I think he's done all he can with Quincy and Rod...It's time to explore some new musical inspiration...

I disagree. I think he needs to get his life in order before worrying about a big comeback.


no...he needs to get bitches on the studio and fuck them while making music! It's time form him to be a man, a MACHO!

This is the exact reason why MJ should retire.His strategy for making music is not based on true inspiration and fresh ideas,it's based on a desperate need to keep up with all the current trends.The idea of MJ working on an album with 50 Cent is just ludicrous.Mike is chasing after an audience that wasn't even born when 'Thriller' came out.That's sad.



oh my lord..talk about pot calling kettle black..

Call me dumb but I don't exactly like Madonna. There are a couple of songs like Borderline and Holiday that I find very memorable, apart from those songs her music in my opinion is so disposable...I hear the songs then I forget them, until I hear them again.. neutral Her music has never done much for me in anyway what's so ever.

Having said all that I do admire how she has used her image to keep her career going. However in my book she will always be the Original Spice Girl..

I agree 110%. That's where the magic is for Mike. I would even buy the album on the first day of release just knowing those 2 are involved but they have to do the WHOLE ALBUM not just 3 or 4 songs.

Madonna has. Prince, from the self-tiled album until Chaos & Disorder was mainstream. Every album after that until Musicology wasn't mainstream IMO. Musicology and 3121 have pushed him back into the mainstream.
