But, yeah, this song should be right up there with the often mentioned "Rock With U" and "2nite"

"What's Ur Name" would be top 5 on the album for me, too.

One of my favorite songs on the album.
I wondered if it was even written for MJ since the lyrics sound like they're what a man would sing but I love that a woman is singing it.

Oh, and I hate Rollercoaster.
Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off

I don't hate it- I just think it's all about the production and there isn't much of a "song" underneath it all.

It's not even about the production because, although I like "Rollercoaster", it's clear that the song is not finished. There's like an entire instrumental layer that's missing and you can hear it.

It's like vocals, sound effect + clap.....bass and my ear KNOWS something belongs in that empty spot.

"What's Ur Name" has quickly become my favorite song on "Discipline" (but "Let Me Know" is my favorite song of the era). It's one of the few songs on the album that:

#1. Sounds completed -and-
#2. Has a true climax (the lack of which, for example, totally ruins "Can't B Good", "WUN"'s closest competition) -and-
#3. Has a strong melody (which is more than I can say for such songs as "2Nite", "The 1" and "Discpline") -and-
#4. Goes somewhere interesting musically

^ Every other song on the album except "Feedback", "LUV" and "What's Ur Name" falls victim to one or more of the above.
...extraordinarily opinionated...wink

what? "Rollercoaster" doesn't get much love? I love that whole opening sequence of songs. In fact, off the top of my head, I can't think of one song I actually dislike from this album, even Greatest X, which has grown on me and can occasionally move me.

I can't believe I don't hate any songs on this album. lol

My fave song on "Discipline". It sounds very MJ influenced to me (which is probably why I like it so much biggrin).

And yes "Rollercoaster" sucks lol. Worst song on the album.
"And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ heart

"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always heart

my second fave on the album after rollercoaster. should be a single. i love when she does her best MJ impression, she's almost better at doing him than he is these days. i love that she says she has a sidekick in this track.
I'll leave it alone babe...just be me
