I love Girlfriend too

I disagree. All songs are about lyrics, darling. Secondly, I just feel this song is kinda played out. It's not a bad song, God strike me down if I ever said that. I'm just not that fond of it anymore,

Lovesexy82 said:

I understand what you are saying. Sometimes when one hears a song too often, it gets a bit tiring no matter how good it is.

Lovesexy82 said:

Ehm... No.
I do understand what you are saying, some great songs becoming more or less boring cause they are overplayed. I don't think it's the case with this particular song though. It's a masterpiece!

To each his own.

Different strokes for different folks, I can dig it

As well as this being his best album, it also seems to be his most sophsticated album. He obviously wanted to prove he was all grown up. So there was no healing world/children/lost childhood songs Or songs like Black and white or Bad, that just sound downright childish.

Co-sign.

It´s not my all time MJ favourite album, but I love I can´t help it. That´s just such a smooth, beautiful jam.

whatsgoingon said:

Yeah this is the album that everybody was like "oh my God, little Michael's finally grown up!" It shocked a lot of people who thought he be a fad like his fellow former teen idols Donny Osmond, Tony DiFranco and 'em. But he didn't. And he did it with Quincy Jones. Smart thinking, Michael!

love this album!

I personally wanna give it up to Stevie and Susaye for writing such a beautiful track with "I Can't Help It"!

It's cool but it's no

Yep...it's Michael at his best, bringing the damn funk.

Off The Wall in my opinion is Michael's best album

The album has the best dance tracks of any MJ album and best vocals.

MJ back then would sing fast,but it still came across very smooth and soulful. Now when MJ sings a very fast track,he grunts way to much with his voice,and its not coming out as smooth. Maybe thats due to age,and he has a hard time singing fast and still sounding smooth and clear.

I love the original cover. I don't know why they changed it now.I can't even find the original in stores anymore .

I feel like the whole "Off The Wall" era is so overlooked by both fans and the general public though. People seem to forget how big Off The Wall was . Whenever I watch specials about MJ's life they always go from the Jackson 5 singing "I want u back" to "Thriller" and barely mention OTW. Teenage-Early 20's MJ is so underrated. He was a GREAT performer back then even before Motown 25 and all that. He had so much energy and was so spontaneous on stage during this time. This my fave MJ era by far.

GAHHHH! Me love some off the wall
My top song would have to be I Can't Help It *Dies*
It is just so smoooooth.

whatsgoingon said:

That is your opinion!

LightOfArt said:

Dangerous is his most underrated album along with HIStory.

Dangerous sold more than Off The Wall, so how is it underrated? I mean It's a good album but def. overrated in the MJ fan community.

I dont think its overated. Its very difficult for me to put off the wall, thriller, bad, dangerous and history in order of best. That's how highly i rate all 5.

Cinnamon234 said:

Underrated by music critics and casual fans. I believe someone wrote earlier that most people remember songs like "Black Or White" and "Remember The Time" -- that is about it.

Dangerous is a fantastic combination of two sounds.

We can agree to disagree.

Rod Temperton had that Heatwave funk going on that song. Thriller may have been MJ's most popular album, But I think Off The Wall was his Funkiest.

yeah but not everybodys in to funk. He probably knew he would have more success with pop/rock and made that change after OTW. Smart move.

kash said:

And unlike some, a number of other people feel that music on his post-OTW albums is still fantastic! Just become one does not like rock does not mean that the music is bad. I think songs like "Give Into Me" and "Who Is It" are excellent!

Rodya24 said:

yeah, u cant win with some people, if MJ stuck to one style you get people saying he's not innovative enough. He has to change and he's done a good job of it compared to many motown artists.
