SWEET JESUS

Late 2007? WTF! Why can't he simply compose a few songs, hire a bassist, and release an album by the end of the year? Jeez!

Or is all this an elaborate attempt to ensure Whoo Kid never returns to Bahrain?

A year and a half is a fiarly short period in which to make an album, expecially for Michael Jackson who usually spends 4 years (on average) to make an album.

DarlingDiana said:

true, so interesting though since artist now a days are starting to release albums on average of 1.5 years or 2 years. Rappers put out albums it seems every 6 months!!! Then we got M.J. who takes half decades to release albums.

Anyway, I hope its decent, but like everybody else, i won't hold my breath for it.

He looks like a coy Transformer in that above picture.

Late 2007? Please...I'll be in a completely different frame of mind then. Guess this will give Janet a chance to do whatever she's gonna do with 20 Years Old. Why doesn't he just wait for his 50th birthday?

Butterflies was a great song but after the accusations love songs from MJ don't quite have the same effect for me.

JackieBlue said:

I think you're correct in saying he isn't releasing the album until 2007 to give Janet's album a chance, and also so he doesn't have to compete with her. They allways seem to seperate their albums so they don't clash.

um, no, he recorded thriller in 4 months and bad in around 7months, history was even quicker.

unless he has something planned in between now and the end of 2007 he'll b hard pushed to retain any interest in his music.

PLEASE TELL 'EM

A year and a half is NOT a short time to MAKE a record. What happened to MJ's spontaneity? It sounds like he's gonna end up in the studio producing a cold and calculated effort much like the below par Invincible

it'll be shit.

and how about that katrina single?? wasn't that awesome? and so timely too...



stick a fork in him, he's done.

MJ needs to go somewhere and never come back. The album will be shit on a stick.

I like your optimism

I'm basically giving you the gun and the bullets, but I'll say it anyway:

MJ looks friggin hott!!!

I love you too!

Awwww
Don't hate on NightLight. Even though, I don't personally find Michael or any other men "sexy" or anything, I got NightLight's back. Because, every women is entitled to their own views on what is "sexy" or "fine." Because there is no objective view on what is sexy or fine. Those things are very subjective and depend totally on the person. You know the saying, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder? Yeah that is all I'm saying.

Thank you JasonStar!

Your still my number one favorite orger

NightLight said:

Just having fun with you. You did ask for it, though

u2prnce said:

I know

Besides that, I think this album will be good, simply because he doesn't have the funds for all the ridiculous technical crap he used on Invincible. And if he does, than God help us all...

NightLight said:

This was my main problem with Invincible as a whole. Some of the tracks like "Unbreakable" "You Rock My World" "Speechless" and "Whatever Happens" sort of sound timeless in a way. However, on stuff like "2000 Watts" and "Heartbreaker" it sounds so dated and lame-o these days. They really made I'd say 80% of the fast songs on that album, suck because of technical crap. I believe it was the author J. Randy Taraborrelli who once asked a VERY interesting question in regards to Invincible. He basically asked, how might the album have turned out, had Michael had the fire in his belly to produce the album himself without anyone's help (IE - Rodney Jenkins). Because on songs like "Speechless" it is clear Michael still has the talent. It is just a shame the quality of his "production" sucked hard on that album.

Here is to better luck next time.....

And if "The Way You Love Me" and "We've Had Enough" are any indication of where Michael's "next time" will be taking his listeners on his next release, I'M VERY EXCITED!!!

DavidEye said:

Oh I'm as optimistic as it comes when it comes to Michael.

Get rid of the computer drums and special guests.

Put together a live in-studio band with live drums, bass, etc...

record the album in a month and get it out there.

One way for this album to be even halfway decent is if Michael has 1 producer or team help him with the WHOLE project not just 4 or 5 songs like every other artist out there. MJ's best albums were with Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton (I'm messing up his last name sorry). They knew how to guide him with the albums they worked on and that's why Off The Wall, Thriller and even Bad are classics. MJ was in a zone and I'll never knock him for those albums. They were the soundtrack to my young life at that time. If MJ has even a good album with this, then that'll be half the battle and I'll be able to dig him again but as of now. I don't see that happening. We'll see.

wow that picture is hideous. What planet is he from again?

NorthernLad said:

that is a terrible picture isn't it?

2 Seas Records, which is owned by Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, said Tuesday it had signed an exclusive recording agreement with Jackson, and the new album was tentatively scheduled for release in late 2007.

Not sure why, but all I can do is this

CrozzaUK said:

don´t worry, I´ve been a fan long enough to know it will take time.

Anyways, I would just like to say that I find it quite unbelievable the way some of you guys are able to put him on a scrapheap, only because his last album was not his best. I mean Prince has done LOTS of albums that I don´t like at all, and I still believe he can make great music. Same goes for everyone else with me.

purplecam said:

For once,MJ should stay away from commercial producers! No R.Kelly,no Rodney Jerkins,etc.Wouldn't it be cool if he wrote 12 songs on his own (with very personal,insightful lyrics),then worked with a new,unknown producer on the music? A very bare,honest,soul-baring album without all the hype,gloss,sky-high budgets and big-name collaborations.That would be so much more interesting.

You know what he couldn't do that if he tried...His career since Thriller has been taken over by the hype and more hype...
