PrintableQuestion: Do you think Motown toned the Jackson 5 act down to appeal to a wider audience? Having seen footage of Michael and his brothers before Motown they were really raw, so do you think Motown and then the move to Epic made them too polish and slick, which I think took away from Michael latter performances. | |

 Tell me about that. It's funny Berry gordy was initially reluctant to sign the J5 because of their ages, he felt they were too young and yet he still wanted Michael to knock of a couple of years off his real age, how ironic is that!! | |

When songs like "Starlight" and other songs from that era leak, I go crazy! I guess I wasnt really too fond of the Invincible era. I'd love to hear the song in full tho along with Place With No Name. | |

None of his latest stuff. 1978-89 unreleased music is what I'm more into. | |

If it was the first time I heard it I would most likely be able to place it somewhere in the top 50, but its been played to death, and I just cant be objectionable about it. I turn it over whenever I hear it. | |

I want to hear the full leak of "Another Day" why is R. Kelly (I think that is him) blabbing at the start of a track is supposedly the Lenny Kravitz cameo song. I can't imagine Lenny (dude who normally produces his own music) appearing on a track R. Kelly was involved with. It just doesn't fit for me. However, this was a MJ project, so anything is possible. Perhaps R produced the track and Lenny just played a guitar solo ala Slash in "Black or White?" Anyone know the scoop?  MJ Fan 1992-Forever
