If I popped down to my local nursery I'd have a hard time finding anything as naive as an MJ fan. There's such a thing as overdubbing. There's such a thing as auto tuner. The days of studio recordings being an accurate representation of a singer's ability ended about 30 years ago. "Sick of singing live"?? I won't even dignify that with a response. As for will.i.am, just how much singing did he really hear from Michael? They didn't even finish a track. I'll take the word of floetry who wrote Butterfly. She was thanking Michael in an interview, but couldn't help mentioning how she had to coax him during the recording ("Can you get your pitching right? Can you get your timing right? Can you sing this bit more powerfully?"). I guarantee no one was reminding Michael to sing in tune in 1972 when he recorded Ben in one take, or in 79 when he recorded vocals for Rock With You and Off The Wall in one afternoon.

He hasn't performed any of those songs in 14 years and one of them he mimed (MITM). Another one he was totally breathless throughout (HN). We didn't hear singing, we heard heavy breathing. Also, I hate to break it to you, but Michael's nearly 50 now. He can't dance like he used to. We all saw that on his last tour.

C'mon now, you don't know anything about the upcoming record. None of us do. We don't know who he's actually working with or whose songs he'll actually use. Let's just wait and see what he brings us. Bet it'll be awesome. I have a lot of faith in MJ. He didn't become the biggest star in the world by accident ya know.

We need to have a permanent sticky where these dreamers can just speculate and fantasize while time slowly, slowly slips away.

There, there. Don't worry about it. Here's a lollipop. Look out the window. See policemen? Yes one day you could be a policeman too. Oh, you want to practise walking again? Okay, but I'll hold this pillow in front of you just to be safe. Ooohhhh, you are so cute.

Well I hope they are talking and decide to do a collaboration of some sort. Some performance let's say an tv special for their 50th birthday. Can you imagine!!! It would break every record in tv history.

mrsnet said:

You seriously think Prince would do something like that? I would say Mike be up for it but who knows with him nowadays? I'll settle for a musical project by the both of them only.
[Edited 7/24/07 19:20pm]

The only Colloboration i would like to see them do is MJ on vocals and Prince on guitar, kinda like whatever happens with santana
anything else would just be entirely too cheesy

EmbattledWarrior said:

Pretty much.

Timmy84 said:

Well he and Beyonce did a duet. Why not with Mike. The two geniuses on stage together would be awesome. They need to stop being so stubborn and do this. People have been hoping for this for 20 years.

mrsnet said:

But that was for a three-minute gig at the Grammy's, not the same thing. And well they'll probably always remain stubborn kind of fellows.

Timmy84 said:

I dunno something doeesn't sit well...
someetimes a positive plus a positive makes a negative...
And a negative collab could taint both of their career for life...

Wasn't there already a STATEMENT issued from MJ and his people that this was NOT TRUE.

It's "a FAKE, baby--no rhyme or reason. 'Cause in your mind, it's lyin' season, you're a FAKE!" (Alex O'Neal)

EmbattledWarrior said:

Good point there! Maybe it's best they stayed apart. Prince fans will never forgive MJ if the two agree to do a duet and it stinks, lol. I remember watching the "Whatzupwitu" video with a look on my face.

NuPwr319 said:

Yep but it ain't like it'll stop them from quoting it. People will choose to believe what they hear anyways.

Timmy84 said:

And just think the same man who did the collabo with MJ (and was imitating Prince while doing it too!) was the one who said:

"...I heard Michael Jackson was looking for me
And when I heard that, I was like 'so?'
'Cause I'd f*ck Mike up, he don't weight over a buck o-five
I bust that ass on Mike but my manager said 'we don't know everything about Michael, he might be this bad motherf*cker behind close doors
A recluse like Mike, if you dealt with him in private, he'd be completely different and I'd be imagining Mike coming to me at a party like:
'(in high-pitched voice) LEMME TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE! Yeah uh, what's your f*cking problem, huh? Then why you keep f*cking with me then, huh?
You know I'm Michael Jackson, I'd bust yo ass! I hear some more sh*t, I'll put this glove up yo ass...'
Michael is so famous, he went on TV and told everybody he didn't have sex because of his religious beliefs and the public believed it
Brothers were like 'get the f*ck out of here' and white folks were like 'That Michael's a special kind of guy!'
You know how I knew y'all believed him, y'all didn't get mad when he took Brooke Shields to the Grammys! Nobody white said sh*t! If I took Brooke to the Grammy's, y'all would lose your mind...
...'cause you knew Brooke would get f*cked that night. And Brooke knew too, that's why we going THIS YEAR, no..." - Eddie Murphy, "Raw" (1987)

Two years later, he's the one presenting MJ with an award on "Arsenio Hall" and I think months before that he gave him a Soul Train award. LOL
