I wonder why he gave them that song in the first place too? He would've ripped it a new asshole but no he had to be the good uncle. neutral I'm only saying this because Tito's sons can't sing for shit to me, lol.

They can sing, but they don't have really strong voices. Tarryl is the most talented. He wrote "Change Me" for Ruben Studdard and "Rumors" for Lindsay Lohan


Yeah, I give him that. But yo, didn't Taj write "I Call It Love" for Lionel?

And yeah that's what I mean, they're okay but I never thought they could hang as singers, per se.

that was another Taj. They're talented songwriters. During the making of the "For The Record" book, we found out that they have songs written from 1988, and they weren't even in middle school. Tarryl is the only one who's fully in music full time. Taj is directing a movie and TJ is a father and has his own real estate business in Texas

I can't believe I'm actually starting an MJ thread (way to continue to feed the problem, huh? lol ), but is there anyone besides me who thinks this track is hated on WAY too much?

Yeah, I know the production is artificial, and I know the lyrics read like a Hallmark card, but the overall message.. the lovely, true-to-life metaphors.. the world-class vocals.. and subtle musical touches like the keyboard flourishes and string section... just manage to choke me up like a motherfucker everytime. cry Then again, I'm the emotional/sentimental type.

I hadn't dug out my copy of Dangerous in God knows how long, and was amazed at how this track moves me in the same way it did back when I was an MJ junkie.


Never liked it.

Agree 100%. I love the song. Mike sings it beautifuly. Simple, human, touching, beautiful.

Did anyone notice : MJ sound deeply like Diana Ross, on a very emotional part of this song ? This is the most beautiful and touchy moment of the song. here : "Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight. Here one day..." To my feeling you can really hear Miss Ross there.
