michael jackson-pre BAD appreciation thread dang! ive quite fallen back in love with mike pre bad(before he went realy soulless and well.....silly)-after BAD i just cant listen to him-the sound of million dollar production taking away any of the musics"soul"
but good lawd-these songs are just AMAZING! the songs have such an organic warm funky innocent feeling to them- HUMAN NATURE BILLIE JEAN THRILLER SHAKE YOUR BODY-my own fave http://uk.youtube.com/wat...PQmHwALAck THE GIRL IS MINE-yep even that I WANT YOU BACK .....the list is endless ive never ever see the similarities between PRINCE and MIKE-prince is/was an amzing musician/songwriter whereas mike was just an amzing performer/singer-the songs are just pop/soul perfection LOVE EM! | |

You may as well jump on any MJ thread because they pretty much all degenerate into a 'He's Been Shit Since Thriller' epic mess. | |

There's been plenty of soulful moments from Mike since Thriller. Not least a lot of his last album. So we'll agree to disagree. | |

Yeah, his music did become less organic but I don't care about that at all. Lots of artists use electronics (Prince, anyone?) so I don't understand why Mike always gets trashed for it yet seemingly no-one else does. Earth Song I like, you can keep Heal The World. Both very organic tracks as well. Funny that, eh? | |

Funny that, eh? organic-maybe i used the wrong term-prince to me uses electonics in a very organic way-he adds warmth to them-also we know its him writing/playing so it comes across maybe as a wee bit more soulful but post bad-wasnt mike using session musicians he didnt know and every note was going thru a program 20 times to make it sound"perfect" yet in the process erasing any soul? sheryl crow minded that she never spoke to her or the band during the whole tour! | |

the demo of 'don't stop til you get enough' is particularly great
still too much MJ on this forum though “If I can shoot rabbits/then I can shoot fascists” | |

Yay and nay for me. His vocal delivery still had plenty of soul and does so to this day. And I see no harm in striving for perfection. No-one criticizes Kate Bush or Steely Dan for doing so. Bad actually is my least favourite of his adult solo albums because it comes across as a little too contrived. His music became edgier and more experimental after and not so consciously commercial. I still like Bad, though. It's a good pop album. sheryl crow minded that she never spoke to her or the band during the whole tour!
I find that hard to believe as I've seen clips of him rehearsing his band onstage. | |
