 I think "Like I Love You" can almost compare to "You Rock My World" but I seriously do not understand the deal with "Rock your Body", it is the definition of bland. I also think Michaels voice might be what makes "You Rock My World" such a great song to me. I really can't stand most of Michaels vocals on Invincible but on that song he really brings it.

[Edited 2/27/09 23:38pm] To be honest, I can't really be mad MJ dumped those songs. There's too many MJ-isms in there. And it was very much carbon copies. I mean what's a 43-year-old man gonna be talking about "I'm a rock your body, dance with me..."  | |

Well let's face it,many of these artists (Madonna,Mariah,Janet,etc) aren't exactly doing songs that reflect their age;...lol....'Invincible' already has some songs ("Heartbreaker","2000 Watts") that sound like N'Sync rejects.I don't think it would have been that crazy for MJ to sing "Rock Your Body"...lol.... | |

I Feel Good All Over (Patti LaBelle to Stephanie Mills) Upside Down (Aretha Franklin to Diana Ross) Do You Love Me (The Temptations to The Contours) Dancing in the Street (Kim Weston to Martha and the Vandellas) My Girl (The Miracles to The Temptations) I Heard It Through the Grapevine (The Miracles/Isleys to Marvin Gaye/Gladys Knight) I Want You (Leon Ware to Marvin Gaye) I Want You Back (Gladys Knight to The Jackson 5) Until You Come Back to Me (Gladys Knight to Aretha Franklin) Nobody's Supposed To Be Here (Patti LaBelle to Deborah Cox) All The Man I Need (Patti LaBelle to Whitney Houston) I'm Ready for Love (The Supremes to Martha and the Vandellas) Where Did Our Love Go (The Marvelettes/Velvelettes to The Supremes) War (The Temptations to Edwin Starr) If I Can't Have You (The Bee Gees to Yvonne Elliman) ---- That's all that popped out of my head besides those already mentioned. I think Patti turned down two or three more songs too but I'm not sure what... How could anyone reject All the Man that I Need. That´s such a great song. As for the song "why" ,Mj's version still exist,it was supposed to be on the history album tracklist, he made a mistake and let his nephews to listen to the track, they loved it so much and asked for it,and Mj gave it to them...its one of few songs written with babyface during the "history" sessions,I bet Mj's version is better
I love Why so much. I´d love to hear MJ´s version, cause 3T vocals aren´t strong enough for me on that track. Listening to it, I am always waiting for the chorus to come to hear MJ´s voice singing it the way only Mike can sing it. "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." | |

"How could anyone reject "All The Man I Need"? That's such a great song"
This song was originally recorded by Sister Sledge in 1982 but it bombed as a single.Sometimes,the failure of a song makes other artists skeptical about recording it.They have to be "talked" into doing it. | |

Me either, and don't want to. The only thing I ever heard my Rihanna was "Umbrella" and that was in passing, and I hated it as much as I do her big ass forehead.(which should never be exposed - she needs bangs forever). Music Royalty in Motion | |

SoulAlive said: Moonbeam said: More proof that The Jets suck. "Neon Telephone" is one of the best Prince songs of any era. Seriously. I think that song is mediocre Prince had much stronger songs during that period (1986/87) that he could have offered to them. I haven't heard the 3 O'clock version, but the Prince version is insanely good- one of his best 3 outtakes!Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

Love Grace. That would have been a cool one from her pop days. and in 1987,she needed a hot single."Still A Thrill" would have been perfect for her. | |
