Say it. To me its like a fan of a athlete who can't believe or accept there hero is past there prime and the coach plays them limited minutes or wants them to lay a 6th man roll off the bench. This was Sony's mindset in 2001. Mike is still a starter but no longer the go to guy...LOL

Unless Sales proved otherwize which they didn't. Bottom Line.

Between Invincible and Number Ones, he sold over 20 million albums. With no tour, only one rotated music video, and only two commercially available singles, one of them (Cry) which was not promoted at all.

The sales were always there. Creative differences and hence promotion destroyed Invincible. How many artists do you know have 10 million + selling "flops"?

Some MJ fans will always distrust and dislike Sony. But what many of us realise is that it wasn't Sony Michael didn't like - but the way the new management there treated him (Tommy Motolla et al).

Whilst Sony did spend big promoting MJ they knew it was in their best interest and the return was there. But also remember when they didn't think Thriller could sell any more and didn't fun the Thriller video so Michael initially self financed it. Then it sold more than anyone could imagine.

From a business point of view MJ was a sure return. But when sales weren't as big as they projected they pulled back their investment and you have to say botched up a few of the releases.

Whilst I agree the Estate and Sony are in a no win situation when it comes to these releases as fans are divided on what they want - taking it all on what Teddy said is not the full story.

As I mentioned in the last thread I do feel the estate / sony can't win on these releases.
Some fans will want the demos only (fine for a bonus disc but not for a commercial album) while other fans will want to hear how these songs would have ended up.

Others want to hear songs that didn't make it onto his albums - others want to hear what work he did post 2001.

I think in time we will all be satisfied one way or the other with the collection of albums that will come out over the years - for now some will love 'Michael', others will think it's filler.

We have to create space for both those who are still excited by this release, and the fans who hoped for more.

I honestly don't think it would have been that hard to please most people. Just put tracks on the album where you don't have to listen 500 times to see if Michael Jackson is on there. Seriously, many of us here are reasonable fans and don't believe in conspiracies, but a lot of us just don't hear Mike on those tracks.

Maybe we're right, maybe we're wrong, maybe there's some gray area, but there's a lot of room for doubt.

You can't please everyone, but I do think they could have pleased most people. Get rid of the questionable tracks and replace them with A Place With No Name/Escape/Blue Gangster/etc. There's a few to choose from.

Well they got six more albums to go so we won't get those problems again.

Plus the guy's old records keep being sold in healthy dosages. He never had a "flop". Just compared to that album lol

But they've got like, 9 of those Cascio tracks left.

Superstition said:

What? There's more?

Dammit.

I don't trust those worldwide figures fans be posting. I do trust USA Billboard

Invincible sold 2 million in the USA. Good sales, but not enough to give MJ 20 million dollor videos.

There are artist who sell that much with videos in the under 1 million range.

If your a BAD BOY...Sell your album with a video that cost under 1 million. To me that's BIG PIMPIN....Thats having the attitude my music is off da chain so i dont need a expensive video for ppl to like it. Unfortunately that was not Mike's mindset.

Young Mike could simply do close up shots singing and it was cool. Older MJ was more demanding

BabyBeMine said:

He said MJ most of the time MJ recorded just 1 or 2 verses of a DEMO and moved on.

That's not true for demos like:

Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'

Billie Jean

Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough

Workin' Day And Night

The Girl Is Mine

Dangerous

In The Closet
For All Time

Monkey Business

Etc.

So obviously Teddy is wrong.

We've heard demos to

Shake Your Body Down To The Ground

Don't Stop Til You Get Enough

Workin' Day And Night

2 for Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'

Baby Be Mine

The Girl Is Mine

Beat It

3 for Billie Jean

PYT

Dangerous

In The Closet

Give In To Me

Keep The Faith

Earth Song

Unrelased tracks like

Sunset Driver

This Is It

Love Never Felt So Good

Starlight

Hot Street

Slapstick

She's Trouble

Carousel

Nightline

Got The Hots

Behind The Mask

Much Too Soon

State Of Shock

There Must Be More To Life Than This

Scared Of The Moon

Streetwalker

Fly Away

Cheater

For All Time

If You Don't Love Me

Serious Effect

She Got It

Work That Body

Monkey Business

Do You Know Where Your Children Are

Man In Black (which is floating around somewhere)

I'll Be There '89

Never Can Say Goodbye '89

To Satisfy You

In The Back (one of the people worked on it said that there's a more complete version that still hasn't been released)

Randy Jackson on Twitter:
http://twitter.com/randyjackson8

Q: How do you feel about the new Album?

A: I have to give you history behind the project in order to answer this question correctly

Me and my nephew were the first to say that it wasn't his voice on some of the tracks
let me go back and say something that you, the public, may not be aware of
The family and the executers of the Estate, Branca and Mclain are not on the same page. We don't see eye to eye.

I became suspicious about the album, when I heard when armed guards were involved since my brothers passing, May he rest in peace. John McClain insisted that no family members were allowed at his studio where the project was being completed
My first thought was, what are they trying to hide
Teddy Riley was brought in just to mix and insisted on switching studios
At which he called me to come down and hear my brothers music, may he rest in peace. I heard the music and I immediately said it wasn't his voice. Now McClain points the finger at Sony, when he got the tracks before it even went to Sony.

But I think they all know all now it is not him. Sony has 250 mil reasons to convince the public that it is his voice, if you know what I mean. In fact, when I heard about the Sony deal, it made me sick. Like AEG, they were cutting deals with the Estate before I could get my brother in the ground. May he rest in peace. I invited McClain to the burial, Ironically, he didn't show up. Neither of the executors didn't show up to pay their respects. Maybe they were too busy getting deals done.

Yeah but then people would have bitched about A Place With No Name (leaked snippet) Xscape (full track leaked years ago) and Blue Gangster (leaked as No Friend of Mine).

But I feel you on the 3 questionable tracks.

I think the smart thing to do would have been to release the album as a 9 track and then release the 3 questionable tracks as bonus content on itunes - let the fans decided.

As it is though you can always buy the album on itunes and not buy the 3 tracks you question.

To be honest, I think with this album, they wanted RECENT recordings and because Michael was pretty spotty with recording for the last years of his life, that was probably why they had to hunt stuff down

fans know of at least 150 unreleased recordings in various states from 1975 to 2009

Ok so you don't trust worldwide figures - but you have to admit that Invincible sold more worldwide than the 2 million you quote for the USA right?

And while you trust figures - can you provide the source for the $20 million video you keep quoting?

Thanks.

Most def, but I don't think you'd have fans 50/50 saying "I'm not buying this" or "This isn't him". At the end of the day, those tracks are still commercially unavailable and there's a good chance they could rework those. Xscape, since it sounds like a complete track and not a demo, could have an extended version and/or alternate vocals.

Like I said, I agree that you can't please everyone, but if you would have asked me before Breaking News if I thought this album would have like, 50%+ of fans saying they don't believe his vocals are even on some of these tracks, I'd laugh it off (like I did at the rumors about just that very thing!)

OK, maybe im wrong. Im searching on Google to find the old article. I do know Unbreakable was supposed to be a 20 minute short film with actor Mel Gibson in the video.

Again - source. Not saying it's not true as he did discuss the Unbreakable video during his webchat but don't recall the Mel Gibson reference.

And its ok to be wrong - all of our memories get muddled with all the rumours and facts we've accumulated in our time.

Usher talks filling Michael Jackson's shoes

---

For much of his nearly 16-year career, he’s appeared to be groomed as the successor to Michael Jackson, especially since Jackson's death. Raymond isn't facing much competition for the title; Chris Brown is still trying to repair his damaged image, and Justin Timberlake has become a viable movie star.

The show confirms that not only does Raymond believe he’s inherited the crown, but also that he’s a worthy heir to Jackson’s glitter-studded shoes -– the latter of which he literally fills during one point in the show when a sparkling black pair of high-top sneakers mysteriously appear onstage. After announcing to the audience that “when I put these things on, I just ... turn into a ... animal,” he launchess into a moonwalk, almost conjuring Jackson's ghost.

“You know, we lost Michael Jackson. A lot of pressure is on me, and I don’t mind taking it,” he said later. “The overarching impression that I’d like to leave is that, you know, this guy is really stepping it up to a level where people can hopefully compare him to people like [Jackson], and great entertainers of the past.”

Though the tour does offer a startling number of visual nods to “This Is It,” Jackson’s would-be last hurrah, Raymond isn’t so sure he wants to tour as he ages, having told the New York Times earlier this year: “Hopefully, at 40, I won’t have to be on the stage.”

LOL.. I Love me some Michael Jackson so dont think im a hater. Im the same way with Kobe and the Lakers and honest. Right now Kobe is looking like 2002 Washington Wizards Michael Jordan and Laker fans fans hate when i say that.

But give Off the Wall MJ that 2001 Butterflies track and he would make a simple close up video of his handsome face and its a HIT...

I admit, I like his songs,but he is never going to a Michael Jackson replacement. Michael is irreplaceable.

One week til Visions hits. Can't wait to get it.

I know there isn't much on there I haven't seen already or got - but I miss being able to buy something new from Michael. I guess that's why I'm trying to stay optimistic about the whole 'Michael' album.

BTW any news when the Hold Your Hand video will drop?

I hope it ships soon. I ordered it on the 2nd so I deserve to get it earlier

I'm walking my ass right INTO Best Buy to get the Vision DVD I wish that shit WOULD be sold out! I'll flip every damn table over in there!

I didn't get to pre order so I've gotta wait till the 22nd...but yeah I'm walking in and grabbing it up.

So I was thinking we all probably have a point of view on how the Estate should run things. So why not give it ago.

If i had to choose one id pick the 2011 Destiny, Victory and Triumph tours fully restored with behind the scenes footage. Can you imagine if that Mike had the 2001 Break of Dawn, Butterflies and Heaven Can Wait tracks. Like Kenny Smith said at the 2000 NBA All Star Game when Vince Carter made those dunks.
