Music simply doesn't get any better than this: it's impossible! [Edited 2/10/09 13:24pm] “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Now try me! Nowhere near. The original is not always the best.  “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Really? Do you realize midnightmover that it´s by Michael Jackson - the man you hate so much? "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

You'll just get a barbed response and off we go again!
There are folks that are J5/Jacksons fans and pretty much hate MJ post-'Thriller'. Not saying i'm one but they're out there. |

Unfortunately the Youtube clips with just a photo had the song playing too quietly, so I bit the bullet and posted this performance instead. Best to ignore the video and just listen. The magic is in the sound. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

No, it's not. Michael Jackson is one of about twenty people who's efforts went into this. The songwriters, producers, arrangers, musicians and co-lead singer Jermaine all combined to create this. It demeans the moment to say it's by Michael Jackson. He's just one of the singers. An excellent one, but no more musically important than the other people involved. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

This thread is about the recording of the song. Not that mimed performance. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

You would stoop low enough and insult a 14 year old boy. Newsflash motown would not let them get more involved with the music. Mj could probably write great music even at 14 years old [Edited 2/11/09 12:11pm] | |

And the Funk Brothers and the Detroit Symphony were at their finest musically. I'll DIE to have the instrumental! Anyways, I love the J5's cover of "I Can't Quit Your Love" by the Four Tops. | |
