Please can someone clarify something...Akon and Mike are supposed to be singing this to a girl right? Not to each other...

Yea.... I think

If this was a Johnny Gill/Freddie Jackson track, it would make more sense

PatrickS77 said:

Thanks!

NaughtyKitty said:

Yeah, lol.

God, I hope so!

Sure, the song is nothing special but I am just REALLY happy to hear new vocals from Michael but it's obvious Michael is singing w/Akon on this song to gain a wider audience (i.e. younger fans). Awwww, now I miss Mike so much after listening to this though. I hope the new album comes out soon.

Well, you never know. I just want some new music.

The song is crap (but it's an Akon song), but Michael vocals are as amazing as ever.

i've heard better sounds when a penis goes through a meat grinder


well.. yeah

Just a little request: could someone please post here a link to KOP board. They must have moved and I can´t find them through yahoo. Thanks.

Oh, so you've tried yourself?

bboy87 said:

Bump for AMIT.

LMAO at this thread. My mother is 61 and LOVEs the song.

But yeah peeps are going too psycho over a "featuring". I almost cried coz it's the first fresh vocals of MJ's we've heard in a long time, plus I run my own MJ board and the whole thing with the leak and related discussion was a lil overwhelming. Anyways, I've calmed down now and can't wait for his own material.

Timmy84 said:

But men are too competitive to sing to the same girl. "The Girl Is Mine" made more sense as male-male duet.

Cinnie said:

Yeah, but then again, Nelly and Tim McGraw did a song called "Over and Over Again". But I get what you're saying.

marnifrances said:

You should see both extremes: from people crying and cumming from MJ's voice (YES I SAID CUMMING ) to people wanting to bash either MJ, Akon or one of the fans for either saying it's bad or it's good.

We MJ fans can be something else, can't we?

Has anyone else's local paper been running an article about how Prince Madonna and MJ are turning 50 this year?

It's kinda sad when they have no new highlights to mention for MJ.

Cinnie said:

Yeah. Prince and Madonna keep on producing material but MJ had to deal with b.s. Somehow, I just hope things work out for him with this album.

Cinnie said:

Exactly two artists that killed GENRES, akon killed RB and Nickelback killed what was left of Rock.

Timmy84 said:

I think I was crying about both, (the reactions and my own plus trying to control tempers and leaked link posting in a fast moving thread) lol. I've seen it all today- on a few of the boards- personal attacks, insults directed at the song, MJ AND Akon, OMG I am sooo tired.

Other than that, it's been good. Mostly the reaction has been great- I mean despite me not liking the song immensely, I know it will be a hit, and there's not too much to stress over- it's better than "We Be Ballin'" as far as a feature song goes, and I know it will chart here coz everyone I know loves Akon... including my 61 year old mum.

it sounds like something mike recorded in the late 80's. what i wanna know is what gave mike the idea to team up with the akons and wil,i,ams of the industry?quincy jones is rolling over in his grave.

Timmy84 said:

Yes this shitty fucking song will be a hit...God, good music is so dead!

lowkey said:

He's still alive. but I wonder the same thing. The fact that these are the people that he wants to work leads me to believe two things: 1) musically he's going somewhere I probably don't want to be 2) I'm no longer a member of his target audience

Yeah it must be we're getting older and MJ keeps looking for younger audiences because 1.) he's still under that Motown psyche to appeal to everyone but now it's getting more younger and less older and 2.) MJ has been going through some mess so he's probably doing this just so people can be like "you hear Michael on that Kanye West song?"

This is probably his way of getting back to the top. If that's what he wanna do, so be it. I guess. He still my boy tho.

Maybe he just wants to appeal to EVERYONE, like the Dangerous album. That's what I am thinking.

I don't care who is on what song or who produces what, I just care if it's good.

And lol at this comment:
