I also found this very interesting article.
http://www.rollingstone.c...ous_mind/7 One particular day, Swedien found Jackson crying in a room he used as his office at Record One. He was upset because the song he had been trying to sing was in the wrong key. "The day had come for Michael to put the lead on 'Keep the Faith,' " says Swedien. "He sang the first and second verses, and then he disappeared. It was very unlike Michael. I found him standing in the corner of his office crying his eyes out. He was absolutely heartbroken, cut to the quick.
"I told him, 'Michael, it's not that big a deal,' " Swedien says. " 'I'll just record it in the other key.' We'd tried two keys and, unfortunately, picked the wrong one. He was really upset. I told him, 'Michael, we've got to face this right now.' I called the synth player and programmer. I felt we had to get the right key and get Michael to face it before it turned into something ugly. And another very interesting quote and shows that Michael is a Body Dysmorphic Disorder sufferer. Teddy Riley says that during the Dangerous recording sessions, Jackson talked a lot about what he'd done to his face and skin. "I'm quite sure if Michael could have done it all over again, he would not have done that," says Riley. "But there's no turning back. Once you change your description, you can't turn back. You can't get your own face on your own skin back again. But he is still Michael Jackson; he is still the talented man that everybody grew up on."

[Edited 6/19/09 20:27pm] That first paragraph is sad, it's gotta be hard for singers when their voice doesn't work how they want it to anymore. As for the second one: talked a lot about what he'd done to his face and skin. So that pretty much sounds like MJ did stuff to his skin himself that he wishes he could undo...no mention of 'vitiligo'. | |

Then what do you think he did to his skin that he wishes he hadn't done? (btw...I've NEVER said the term 'bleaching', but obviously something was done to change the pigment.) [Edited 6/19/09 22:40pm] | |

I seemed to recall reading about Michael having to undergo an operation for nodules on the vocal chords around the Bad era. Can't seem to locate any news articles via the web to confirm this - wonder if BBoy has any info, Swa I can confirm that he went to a London clinic on the Dangerous tour (not the Bad tour) for suspected nodules on his vocal chords. He postponed the Istanbul concert as a result. This information is in "The Visual Documentary" by Adrian Grant, but there's nothing about what treatment he received.

michael jackson doesn't suffer from vertigo or nothing. the true story is that as he got older he started hanging out in a gang, as seen in the beat it video, and his momma told him that if he didn't stop hanging out in gangs she would beat the black offa his ass, and that's what the song beat it is all about. when she found out he was not only still in a gang but did that video, she made her threat real. that's why the next time you see him with his gang facing wesley snipes in the bad video that he has changed colour and his face is all different from the plastic surgery due to the asswhupping. when she found out about the bad video he got another beating and changed some more, and that's when he got a monkey as a friend and a zoo at neverland cuz he wasn't allowed to hang out with the big boys anymore, which is why only the little kids were allowed at neverland and that story is all true, but of course the fans will want to deny and rubbish it like everything else

The Tangoterje Mix of I Can't Help It is heavenly! i wouldn't use an unnoficial mix unless you really had to. with a choice of mixes, stick to the official ones, as usually the unnoficial ones are just the album version with other sounds added on top, some might use the acapellas. the original set of new remixes that was on the heal the world 12" weren't bad, like roger sanchez don't stop till you get enough which was before people got really sick of him using the exact same production on every remix he did, start off without drums, just a bit of keyboards, maybe then a little vocals, kick drum for a couple of bars, then the rest of the drums and then bass etc, building it up. the style worked well with disco/garage tracks, and that's pretty much the same for most remixes, but when a track doesn't follow the usual disco beat the remixes can usually end up pretty crap, like all the junior vasquez prince remixes apart from round and round. his remixes to more disco type songs were good though and he was good dj the masters at work rock with you was good too, i used to play that in clubs. i used to play a lot of MAW stuff and they had a way of remixing a track in a dubby house style so they could take just a bit of a track and make it into something new. they didn't whore themselves too much at the start, but they could take a shitty or undancable song and make a house tune that was good, it just sounded nothing like the original | |

Using bleaching cream over the counter is not going to make you look that much lighter, true. Depigmentation is a little different it practically strips away your pigment & is permanent. That's why it is recommended to vitiligo sufferers but peeps who do not have vitiligo do it too, but the side effects would be similar to that of vitiligo sufferer; covering up and staying out of the sun will apply. And another thing I ask the fans why would Teddy Riley say that MJ regrets messing with his face & skin if MJ never discuss such thing? I don't see why Teddy has to lie about what Michael said or did not say. Apart from the fans who blame everything on the media, the whole world including MJ himself knows he messed up that once lovely face. [Edited 6/20/09 10:28am] | |

"I'm quite sure if Michael could have done it all over again, he would not have done that," says Riley. "But there's no turning back. Once you change your description, you can't turn back.
