Yes that's right, Naomi recorded her vocals for the video version.
I don't know why people find it hard to believe that it's Princess Stephanie - she has a very distinctive voice and there's no mistaking her. I don't think Madonna's voice would have worked to be honest since she's much deeper and overpowering. It wouldn't have sounded right against MJ's softer voice. | |

ehuffnsd said: according to people close to M she was shocked that MJ didn't know that the title could refer to being homosexual. she had an idea of using her him and Jose and Luis.
she ended up backing away after the song didn't turn out the way she wanted. MJ didn't stop the rumor that it was her as the mystery girl. this song is the root of the Janet and M feud. That´s not true. Here´s a proof. Madonna herself putting the record straight. http://download.yousendit...031BBA693 "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

I´ve heard that Joseph, MJ´s father, wrote a book in which he claims that Mike went out with Stephanie at one point. Don´t know if it´s true though.

I forgot to ask you guys, how what does In the closet exactly mean? Does it mean Keep it a secret? "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent.

It's a term used to describe homosexuals who have yet to "come out".  | |

It's a term used to describe homosexuals who have yet to "come out". That being said, in this case it does mean the more general "keep it a secret." "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

MJ was always the best at the unintentionally hilarious song titles. | |

Watch the Madonna video that I posted. She says that it was his intention to have a controversial title. I think Mike´s very smart in playing with the public. I loved how Diane Saweyr asked him about that ridiculous History commercial and he said smiling that he "wanted everybody´s attention". That was smart. Thanks guys for the explanation.

"In the closet" and. "Ass" should never be mentioned in the same sentence.  | |

Lol, I loved that interview w/Diane Sawyer. Michael looked really upset at times and it was funny when at one point during the interview he told Diane that the question she asked him was "ridiculous", that was just too funny. I also think Michael is a lot smarter than people realize. He knows exactly what "In The Closet" means which is precisely why he decided to name the song that. I think the whole song/video is absolutely brilliant! "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ 
"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

I think the whole song/video is absolutely brilliant! Yeah, I love it too. Mike´s sooooo HOT and CUTE in it. Lisa looked her best there as well. Anyways, I think that Mike knows really a lot about sex. Just think of the way he grew up. How many of us were "lucky" not to read or read about sex as children or teenagers, but "seeing it live". Ppl just love to make him look that he´s a ten-year old naive child, which he is in some ways, but not in all ways.
