First of all AKON is a Wankhead, the most no humbled artist I`ve ever seen in my LIFE!!!
second of all its like a accross bettween "my love is your love" by whitney houston and some Bob Marley/Fuggee song!!!!!
3rdly Mike do u not realise most of your fan base is in its late 20s upwards and no one with any sense or good music taste would listen to this cheap shite,,,,
Heres what to do....
Ring MTV, do a fuckin unplugged, play some piano and the you will suddenly have the credability u once had, u used to set trends not follow them especially not the crap ones.....
JESUS I COULD GO ON ALL NIGHT, HE NEEDS A GOOD WAKE UP CALL B4 HE RUINS HIS OWN LEGACY!!!!!AHHHHH

Geez! Why don't you just relax! Like someone pointed out, this is not an MJ song! Michael paid back a favor! There is nothing more to it and if it helps him to reach a demographic he otherwise wouldn't reach, then there is nothing wrong with it!

NaughtyKitty said:

You should see the MJJC one.

NaughtyKitty said:

That's too much.

This is me relaxed, he shouldnt be looking for favours off saps like akon, there is something wrong with "tryig to reach a demographic he wouldnt othersise reach" is its at his own expense, ie: losing fans like me. Im 29 and have been listening to MJ since i was about 8, and have supported him, even had physical fights in pubs with folks defending him. I'm not 12 and neither are you by the sound of you, and have no intrest in reproduced crap rap r&b and hip hop..... this is a disgrace to millions of fans like myself, if MJ wasnt on this track you would think the exact same???

NaughtyKitty said:

That's WHY people are wilding out. All I did when MJ sung was smile. Like "it's been a long time, nucca!"

berko said:

It ain't THAT bad. This is after all Akon's song. If it was MJ's, I can understand, lol.

novabrkr said:

in times we don't get much MJ music we react as if this was MJ's new single.But it's just another Get It, What's Up Wit U and Friends. Nothing more. I have to admit I still like it more than sogs like Invincible or Escape.
Who wrote the song??

Cinnie said:

That was so wrong.

Makes no difference who wrote the song, people who dont know will assume Michael did and this is why being associated with any of this crap, ie: Akon, is a really really bad idea. If hes goin do a duet, do it someone who has some credibility and not with just some flash in the pan asshole who has max shelf life of a loaf of bread!!! look how ridiculous madonna looks at the moment! POINT PROVEN!
Are people really that blind on this board

berko said:

Madonna doesn't look ridiculous.

MJ will always look ridiculous no matter who he duets with.

This tops even...


BlueNote

At least we've got MJ, Madonna and Janet all looking and sounding ridiculous at the same time. Usually it's just the one and then fans of the others gloat annoyingly. Now we can all stay quiet

Ellie said:

oh come on the womans nearly 50 and shes prouncing around in leotards stuck up her old old crotch!! we dont need to see it!! and riding JT'S wave like a bitch in heat.. just because hes the "in thing " right now! In the past MJ had dueted with Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crowe, Freddie Mercury, Mick Jagger.... do you want me to keep going?? wanna know one thing they all have in common?? credibilty, longevity, and originality... thats 3 actually, Im making a generalisation here about people like Madonna and Mj not needing the likes of Akon and whoever else is cool at the moment, they should all take a leaf out of Princes book and stay true to who they are and where they came from musically.... the end.

it reminds me of Hold My Hand by Hootie and the blowfish.

berko said:

here, take a hit off of this blunt. It'll help you calm down

It's not a big deal. It ain't Michael singing Smack That so that's a positive

Ellie said:

YEP!

bboy87 said:

People act like Michael murdered somebody or something. It's just a featuring. Sheesh!

That Eddie Murphy duet though is atrocious.

Ellie said:

Ellie said:

Or, we could all gloat at the same time! More fun for everyone that way, says I.

Annika said:

That's true too.

Fuck, Akons annoying. Can someone take out his vocals, please?

I bet people are just gonna buy Akons album for this song, I know I am

DANGEROUSx said:

I'll be fine with just this song on a mixtape.

DANGEROUSx said:

I'm gonna try when I get home I'm gonna burn it on CD, take it to my Music production class, and try to work some magic

I want Mikes vocals in high quality though.

I bet this is gonna be treated as a Michael Jackson release and Akons sales are gonna go up by the million.

Ellie said:

LOL!

bboy87 said:

Oh, you legend.

berko said:

You know the difference is, he had these people on his album! Now he is the legend, the elder statesman of Pop and does a favour to a young up and coming artist! If he would invite Akon to do a duet on his new studio album (I don't count T25), that would be a different story! So far we have no proof of that!
