Absloutly love "Human Nature".

To me though, SIM showed some wisdom in MJ's voice,,,as opposed to his earlier work. Which is another reason why I appreciate it.

You're Not Alone > Stranger in Moscow

Heaven Can Wait > Stranger in Moscow

"Human Nature" is my all-time favorite MJ song.

JoeTyler said:

She's Out of My Life is one of MJ's worst songs ever.

So boring and whiny. And then the crying... so stupid and irritating.

JoeTyler said:

Everything > Stranger in Moscow

sleepyq said:

Agree, but it is deeper than most of his material. MJ IMuO was NEVER a great lyricist.

My Unpopular opinion:
Heartbreak Hotel is MJ's masterpice as a writer, composer, and producer. Billie Jean, Dirty Diana, Dangerous, etc. are all attempts to recapture that, hence the same theme of all the songs.

Popular and rated highly are not the same.

SIM may not have been a huge hit, but its widely considered the best song on the HIStory album, and the shining monment of MJ's post-Thriller career.

Unpopular opinion

Destiny > Bad

Triumph > Dangerous

Adisa said:

I think Destiny and Trimph are overrated. They're nothing special and I hate how MJ sounds on them.

The lyrics on ALL his albums are very paranoid, tho. Even before ppl were after him, he was writing strange stuff like Wanna Be Startin Somethin sounds like somethin he shoulda written AFTER 1993.

Bebe and Cece Winans aint all that.


Kirk Franklin's brand of gospel music is just hip hop with the name Jesus thrown in from time to time

Unpopular opinion like a mug to follow:

Jermaine Jackson > Bad

JoeTyler said:

Thats a pretty POPULAR opinion.

Jus because Bad and Dangerous sold a lot doesn't mean they're highly rated. Go read the reviews. All of MJ's post OTW albums were panned upon release. All of them.

sleepyq said:

But you are the same cat who said "Britney Spears has one of the best pop catalogues of all time" , so taking what you said into consideration, I won't take your posts seriously...you are obviously into plastic pop so you won't appreciate a song like stranger in Moscow.

Stranger in moocow is the best track on history, the maturity and complexity of the lyrics and the hauntingly beautiful dark melody Proved that MJ is a hell of a songwriter, and a capable one.

People started to appreciate songs like that when they are mature enough, so it’s too early for you.

Dog shit > Jermaine Jackson

If it ain't Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Mahalia, Marion Williams, 1970s Clarke Singers,,,,I ain't got NOTHING to do with it.

seeingvoices12 said:

... OK.

sleepyq said:

Yeah, they were panned because white critics are fuckin' clueless; a white critic only understands a song build with guitar/bass/drums and perhaps some harmonica and piano, that's all.

Ciara is a far better dancer than Janet ever was.

Off The Wall is a masterpiece.

Beyonce is overrated in every way imaginable (vocally, dance).

Madonna gets unfairly hated on.

JoeTyler said:

I didn't care when Invisible was panned because I knew they had panned everything he'd done since 1982!

All the positivity that surrounds Thriller, Bad, and Dangerous NOW is retrospective. It was all negative when these records first came out.

sleepyq said:

It was the second to last single from the album

Layzie said:

I was gonna say this too!

Janet had great choreography, but she CAN NOT freestyle! She is a taught dancer. Not a natural one.

Oh, and Omarion is a better technical dancer than MJ ever was.

sleepyq said:

Which means dog shit> Jermaine Jackson > Bad.

sleepyq said:

Now, you're trying to get cut.

sleepyq said:

Thriller's reviews were, at least, positive

And after the Billie Jean videoclip and the album's huge success, all the white critics of this planet celebrated Thriller as the next best thing in the world since color TV...

bboy87 said:

U r missing something.

HIStory was a HUGE deal worldwide, ok? No album has sold more than HIStory in Europe since it ewas released, mmkay?

He lost momentum with that. He should've released 2Bad instead.

sleepyq said:

Oh please

JoeTyler said:

When he released Thriller, they thought it was messy and were SO SURE he wouldn't outsell Off the Wall with it. They thought it would flop!

Critics don't like mixed styles one album. They only started lovin it when he started breaking records and shit.
