Michael uses his star status constructively to bring about a message concerning higher awareness towards humanities conciousness its egomaniac now? Just because Michael Jackson can connect with the universe and express his god like inner spirit on a higher level don't hate him because you forgot how to tune in to "Gods" energy. We are connected to God, we are one with god, we have given gifts of god like qualities or..... did you not wake up to who you really are?

Did we forget our inner god-self? which is one with all creation and our creator in the cosmos? Time to start being more open hearted and learn how to love others unconditional, time to change our way of thinking and start acting NOW! Your thoughts create your reality, it is magic manifesting to reality and it is your choice if you choose to be positive or negative. Healing the past and learning to love ourselves is the way dear friends. We are all equal.

Ok, well I didn't mean exactly, which is why I gave my 'general age', so you wouldn't think I'm some freak. I'm just trying to figure out if you're as young as it seems by your posts.

graecophilos said:

Well then you and MJ have something in common!!

(sorry, it was just too easy to pass up....)

Diddy said:

Agreed, use what God gave you, but if you believe that you're above Him, that's pride and that's how Satan operates. Not saying that's how MJ is operating.

graecophilos said:

okay....

Jay, I'm gonna take it back to the beginning on you!

That was real uncool

bboy87 said:

Wow, Eddie was really sloppy on the guitar solo. That was horrible.

thesexofit said:

That wasn't Eddie in that clip. I think it was Tito

bboy87 said:

yeah , seriously, maybe they think its funny, what a shame

Ok, Iam gonna completely baffle alot of Mj fans here (I dont do the boards, so iam not a zealot believe me), but I really like a couple of the songs ALL the fans of critics hate.

"Childhood"
"lost children"

Cringe-worthy springs to mind for most people, partically the latter. I blast these suckers and dont give a fuck LOL. Its not like I hear them often, but I do love them.

Michael has always been theatrical, and always loved sappy shit (like myself), and loves Striesand (like myself) and it musta annoyed him abit when she turned down "I just cant stop loving you" which seemed tailor made for her.

"Childhood" is straight Babs. Even the phrasing is Babs. Produced with David Foster, its little surprise it could pass off as her, as he has produced for Babs aswell. Funny how the song goes straight in, making it even more of a stage song and less of a pop song. Its self pitying to the extreme, and egotastic aswell. But thats what I love about Mike, the ballsiness to write songs he truly loves and in this case I do too. It does sound like "goon too soon" aswell, which he didn't write, but thats OK. I love it and he should be encouraged to do more egocentric stuff like this. Foster brought out the best in Mike on HIStory, and its a shame he hasn't used him since....

....talking of Michaels Lloyd Webber side, I also love "elizabeth, I love you". Much more from a musical standpoint then a lyrical one LOL (though it is catchy). Mike should really write a musical (not based on his life). Not sure if he wrote this alone, but it must at least be a co-write.

"Lost children". Now to be fair, even I see "you are my life" as awful, but I really like, and again admire "the lost children". He should do less commerical stuff like this. Hard to desribe what genre the songs fits in, but thats to Mikes credit as its nice to see he doesn't always go for the commerical when writing and recording a song. I really like the middle 8 aswell. I dont like the outro, but I can get past that. I've said this before, but its almost some new agey prog stuff ala Jon Anderson....

..Very unlike anything he has done musically. Lyrically its all too Michael though, but again, I can see through that, and its intension is nice and sincere enough. Sounds 100's of years old, which goes back to my prog/ new age comment. One of the few bright spots on "invincible".

bboy87 said:

Fair enough.

As a kid, I didn't bother reading the song credits too much and always assumed Tito did that kick ass solo on "wait". Thats still one of my fav solos of all time. Of course, it was not Tito but Toto's Steve Lukather

thesexofit said:

See, I LOVE Childhood, but I can't listen to The Lost Children

bboy87 said:

Ditto. "Childhood" actually sounds nice now.

"lost children" is better than "privacy"

Both songs were the fault of the last album. I'd been alright without them both.

bboy and Timmy, Iam glad you both dig "childhood", I always assumed I was the only one

Not quite sure why Sony and Michael paired it up with "scream" though as the first single? Maybe it was the "free Willy 2" tie in?

Talking of odd ideas around the HIStory period, Sony USA really fucked up not releasing "Earth song". Iam not even a big fan of the song, but damn, it was fucking huge at the time. Didn't Sony USA do some promo remixes of "This time around" radio only singles instead? Idiots.True, US pop at the time was minimal chart wise, but it was worth a gamble with its lavish video and all.

Can't get into "this time around". Its kinda average.

"Smile" could of been big in the UK. Radio 2 woulda been all over that one. Not a huge fan of it, but his vocals are killer, thanks in part to David Foster again.

Greatest J5 song that went unreleased ...

This Time Around was to be released in the States, but it was cancelled

HIStory had several chartworthy songs

2Bad
Money
This Time Around
