Every time I hear Boyz II Men's version of "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday", I remind myself of when I was eight singing that song to my family and them cheering me. | |

"Blues Away" is a Jacksons track and not an MJ track. It's from their Gamble & Huff days. I never cared for the song. It's not that its bad, I just never cared for it.
I love to see these clips with MJ (pre-Off The Wall). [Edited 1/30/08 12:31pm] **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

I love the arrangements on these songs. They weren't HORRIBLE. U must not care for any of Gamble and Huff's stuff from that period. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

[Edited 1/30/08 12:31pm] I labeled it an MJ song for this post because: 1.Michael wrote it 2.He was the only one performing it in this clip "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

Either way, I think it (possibly ironically) describes him perfectly. Personally, whenever I see him smile, I wish I'd see him smile more. He just always has struck me as a loner, for better or worse. I really wish him all the best. MJ Fan 1992-Forever

My only thing is they probably got this song confused with "Blame It on the Boogie", which actually had a "Michael Jackson" on there but it was actually Mick Jackson who wrote it, lol. | |
