I am not sure I would want to hear that. I am not really a fan of MJ's voice and El has to be careful who he sings with. He did a collabo with the Gap Band and it wasn't great. Partly because Charlie Wilson has more of a soulful, ghetto feel to his voice and El is just silky smooth.

Oh see I'm a fan or, should I say was a fan of MJ's voice. To me MJ doesn't sing as soulful as he did during his Off The Wall days. And although he was more soulful back in the day, MJ had a smooth voice which I think could've complemented El's. But I agree that El, or any singer for that matter, should be careful who they sing with. You can have two singers who can sang but together their voices doesn't mesh. I have to give it to Quincy because here on "Secret Garden" you have four unique voices that actually sounds good on the track.

yea not everyone can sing together thats for sure. El's voice is very soulful and MJ's voice is just more poppy to me but back on topic This was a great performance and i didnt see no one trying to hog anything just a good performance thats all.

I love El's voice, but I would never call it soulful

lowkey

al b sure was obviously lip sincing, look at when he first came out and barry was still talking and kinda laughing, al had to go straight into his verse because the vocals had started, he's the only one that verse was exactly like it was on the record

Al might have started that trend of good looking but can't sing-at least he was one of the forerunners

I never liked this song, either. Something is just...off about it. My mama LOVES it, though.

I think for me, it might be Barry, I don't know. I just thought the song never worked.
