Eddie Murphy + Michael Jackson = Whatzupwitu

http://www.youtube.com/wa...%20jackson

I can't make my mind up whether I like this song, or just find it hilariously bad?

Opinions?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Funniest. video. EVER.

The song is alright. Michael's vocals sound good and Eddie is doing what everyone else is doing in music THESE DAYS. (Trying to sing like Michael)

As for the video, I digged Michael's 3 or 4 dance moves that he did, and it was good to see (what looked like) him having a fun time performing with Eddie.

And Michael's outfit was TIGHT.

It was kind of like the outfit he wore on the Oprah interview, only back instead of red. Check out the red outfit on Oprah in the pic below, watch the video for "Whatzupwitu" and decide for yourself.

I think you really don't like it, because it sounds and looks like a bad karaoke version of Prince's Mountains. MJ doesn't even look like MJ. He looks like the Corey Feldman incarnation of MJ.

it looked like at one point Eddie wanted to hump ole' MJ.....guess he likes long hair and red shirts after all.....

it's not like MJ wouldn't have tried to stop him

i think he just likes men that look like women...

I vote for the latter! At least the video is fun to look at and there's some humor, a pretty bland tune.

Listening to MJ sing, I couldn't help remembering how much I enjoyed his music back in the day. I actually do miss him...I wish he'd get his house in order and bring us some new good music.

Both. I like the song; the video is hilariously bad.

that song is horrible

I like two or three songs on that album but that particular song is horrible.

I like "Whatzupwitu" the best on Eddie's album. (Due to Michael being on it so much) I also dig the song "Always Is Love." Beyond both of those, the song "Yeah" was an interesting idea. (I think I even heard MC Hammer on it) However, it isn't something I would play a lot. Still cool concept though.

And the cover reminds me of Michael's Dangerous cover and obviously the "Whatzupwithu" video.

I like "I Was A King". It's kinda funky. "One" has a nice house feel to it. I love the song "Love's Alright". It's straight up Prince all the way.

After reading your post, I got this funny image in my head. It is Charlie Murphy (Eddie's brother) laughing his ass off watching the "Whatzupwitu" video, kind of poking fun and giving Eddie a hard time about it. Just picture the laugh he did when he was laughing about playing basketball with Prince on Chappelle's Show.

Ahhhh now back on topic, I dig the "Whatzupwitu" video, but I can totally see why lots of people wouldn't.

And yes I dig Charlie and Eddie Murphy both a lot. (They are both lol funny in my book.)
