Ok seriously you guys, while I am more of a fan of the original, I think that all the parties who went into this project knew how big of a pair of black loafers they had to fill when they did this remake. I don't think that they did that a bad job. If anything, I think I put more of the blame on Quincy, because I kind of feel like he thinks that anything he touches turns to gold...when it doesn't.

Also, I know some of people don't like cover songs, but I don't mind it really. I feel that even though people make fun of MJ's 'hee hees" and "shamones" and question whether or not it was real singing in the first place, I know that when you hear other people singing his material...you can notice the huge difference. Either way, I don't want people to be discouraged from covering MJ songs. I think it's a great way to reintroduce people to the music and it helps to keep it alive rather than have it settle in the dust. I think that by doing this it can, hopefully, encourage them to realize what made his work amazing in the first place and try to strive for that kind of excellence as well. Who knows? Maybe one day someone will be able to do to one of his songs what he did to Smokey's.

Speaking of that could you imagine if the internet existed back then? How many people would be tearing little MJ a new one for covering 'Who's Lovin' You"?

Seriously?

And uh, people were praising Michael for covering Smokey. Hell not too many knew it was from Smokey unless you were a Motown fan.

lol I know that. If the internet existed back then though, people would STILL be bitching even if he sang the hell out of that song.

I didn't say that the people who sang this song outdid MJ though. Hell no! This shit sounded like a hot mess.

T-Pain Responds To Critics: "Michael Wanted Me To Cover P.Y.T."

Quote: “I had the pleasure of meeting MJ and when I left his house, I got a call from his lawyer telling [me] that MJ wanted me to cover that song”, adding “So everyone that’s being overly disrespectful… keep that bulls**t to yourself.”

I guess he visits the Org

Michael Jackson would roll over in his grave if he heard this garbage Shame on Quincy for destroying a classic MJ song.

It's time for Quincy to call it a day and retire.

When Quincy gets to Heaven, Michael's going to whip his ass over this shit.

I love this quote from YouTube:

"As for T-Pain... we looking for you. We gon' find you!"

"Now i know what T-Pain stand for...

((To Put Autotune Is Necessary))

That is his slogan, LMAO!

NO WAY Michael signed off on some FUCKERY such as T-Pain remaking ANY of his songs!

This is Quincy's FOOLISHNESS!"

Yep

I like it.

I think that by doing this [covers] it can, hopefully, encourage them [the artists] to realize what made his [MJ's] work amazing in the first place and try to strive for that kind of excellence as well.

Apparently hoping that more artists take the time to really study MJ's music so that it can properly influence their own music and maybe stop them from doing covers of his music such injustice is such utter bullshit.

Quincy Jones Takes On "Haters" Over "P.Y.T." Remake

November 4, 2010

Quincy Jones, is taking aim at those who have a problem with the reworked record.

“Today with Facebook and Twitter and everything, I have never seen so many haters in my life,” the 77-year-old legend exclusively tells Rap-Up.com. “But it’s people sitting in their basements with their pants on the ground, just being haters. I don’t get it, man. That means they don’t have a life.”

“The freedom in music is do what you want to do,” he shares. “I don’t think anybody should sit there and say you shouldn’t do that or you shouldn’t do this. That’s not up to me to say.”

While T-Pain said that he recorded the song at Mr. Jones’ request, Quincy offers a different take. “They volunteered. I didn’t choose them. I didn’t produce this,” he says. “Six years ago, Timbaland came to me with one of his assistants in South Beach and said, ‘We’d like to do a hip-hop tribute to all your old songs.’ I said, ‘Great, man. That’s a very big honor ’cause I’ve worked with a lot of the hip-hoppers anyway and have always been behind them.’”

Jones took a back seat when it came to putting together the project. “I just sat down with guys that were my friends and they called and asked me questions and so forth. I’m there for them, but I said use your own voice, but make it better than the one we did.”

Wasn't Quincy's CD supposed to be released a while back? Wasn't there a single release this past summethat people weren't responding to? I guess that's the reason why the release date has been pushed back?

this pantsless hater says that fool is making excuses for this POS, disowning it, and fairly admitting that it's bad. He might not have chosen the artists or produced it, but he did unleash it on us which is worse

Q, you can't be that senile!??

Even with your "ears" of experience can say that is a piece of garbage!! Come on man. Its your picture on the cover, not T-pain (in the ass). If it were, we would be going after him.

You have millions, please retire poppa Q. We'll love and respect you more if you did that for us.

exactly, if it was getting praise, he would be taking it, but people hate it so suddenly he had nothing to do with it

Well Quincy, I have my pants down right now, so you can come to my basement and kiss the blackest part of my ass.

Quincy just tellin' it like it is. LOLOLOLOL!!!!!

So he DIDN'T produce it? Then how has he put his name to it?

He's a grade A asshole. Distancing himself rom this shit whilst at the same time insulting people for calling out this bullshit "music".

Gotta love how he describes folks as “people sitting in their basements with their pants on the ground, just being haters. That means they don’t have a life.”

Whatever, Ben Grimm.

Fuck you T-Pain. Don't you tell anyone about disrespecting MJ while he was here. That's not me nor anyone here. If you wanna talk about MJ HATERS, look at Quincy Jones the man himself and some of the downright nasty comments he's been making over the last decade.

Quincy's just as much of a punk as T-Pussy is.

Thing is I wasn't the one who dogged my former collaborator like a dog after he died then change it all up and act like "oh I lost my little brother". Cut the "haters" crap, Q. You've ruined your legacy. No one's gonna buy your shit, no matter who's on it.

This album I wouldn't actually mind people downloading now because their comments are just ridiculous.

Quincy is getting trashed on the same website on which he used the term "haters".

Gotta love it!

Don't forget the minute the 2003 arraest warrant was issued, Q's claim that he's never known Michael Jackson the person and only knew him in the studio. BULLSHIT.

Now ain't that hilarious!?! People (including me) gave him a field day on Twitter over "Secret Garden '10" and "We Are the World 25". He tried to do the same thing then (QuincyDelightJones I believe is his Twitter moniker).

Face it, Mr. Jones, your career's over. Same with T-Pussy.

Robin? You can do better than that.

YES! YES!

That's when I knew Quincy was a pussy. Before he talked as if he and Michael knew each other's insides, then when the second allegations happened, he acted like all they were were business partners.

FUCK OUTTA HERE! And then his comments after June 25. And he expects us to suck his sympathy stories like zombies? Mmkay.

seriously I don't think Quincy is well. The past few times I've seen him speak he seemed drunk--slurring his words and could barely put a sentence together
