It used to be the shiznit to hear MJ scream "Shamon!"...maybe thats what he's missing from his music. I don't think I heard it on 'Invincible'.

I think he uses it in Unbreakable if I'm not mistaken. I'll dig out the CD and listen.

Really?..don't remember hearing it.

Aw, it's more of a "Come-on now!" his words are more pronounced I guess haha.

I love when "my baby Michael Jackson" says Shamon and his lips look sexy...

I can't wait for him to release his new material...

If it doesn't have a screaming "Shamon!!" on it I'm gonna be pissed!

i hope so too... and i also pray he stays clear of hip-hop influence music.. and hopefully he will have a retro old school sound to his music.... I wish he would make songs like "baby be mine" "PYT demo verson", "Lady in my life" and "can't help it"... those songs were so wonderful

God I just wanna kiss you for mentioning those songs

One of the best "Shamon" moments ever!

I guess he didn't wanna upset Mavis Staples anymore for using it so much.

Come on MJ fans get it right. It's Chum on.

phunkdaddy said:

I thought it was JAMON but chum on sounds dead on because that's the way Mavis used to do it:

"Chum on, chum on, chum on..."

It actually is pronounced "chum on" but over time the fans have become to spell it "shamone". I think the "shamone" way of spelling it also comes from those bo selecta skits. http://youtube.com/watch?v=3o8rdNR5tmE

phunkdaddy said:

Yea yea...U know what we mean dammit!.. I just wanna hear it!

actually the correct spelling is "cha'mone" and he said it yesterday.

Timmy84 said:

I think you're right. I think it is "Jamon", although what I think he's really saying is "Jam on". He says this a lot on "Man In The Mirror" and "Bad"

and in black or white

I noticed that on unbreakable, heartbreaker and invincible, which all followed the same structural pattern, threw in a trademark mj adlib, for the sake of it I feel. A 'whoo and hoo-hoo" on unbreakable, an 'ow' in heartbreaker and some 'hee-hee's' on invincible. Although they sounded good vocally, I just know they were thrown in, like they're convincing the listener "yes folks, this is a real mj song" lol Don't get me wrong, I like them though.

What's this Jamon business??? He's Saying "come on" but adding that cha'

Gonna be kinda hard when all he works with are hip-hop producers.

dangerous sounded borderline hip hop and turned out good in my opinion, even though I like the self penned songs on it better.

alphastreet said:

The majority was self penned. The only songs he didn't write were "Why You Wanna Trip On Me?" and "Gone Too Soon".

self-penned meaning solely on his own, I know he co wrote most of the others with teddy riley

That would be nice... too bad it's never gonna happen
