"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."
I'm gonna be honest, I'm not sure about the Will.I.Am sessions. I like Will's solo work on 'Songs About Girls' and the early BEP (pre Fergie) stuff BUT knowing the crap he's churned out over the past 10 years..... I hope that he and Michael didn't follow that path
I agree - DYKWYCA was a cool track and still holds up with an undeniable hook.
As for the will.i.am work - the sounds we heard during the extra visit to Ireland did sound cool - it Will brought cool beats I know MJ would bring great melodies. As long as Will wasn't trying to get a myhumps kinda track out of MJ, lol.
I read the AV Club article on MJ's Bad. Hyden starts out with a compelling question: Why the insanely vitriolic response to this album?
But then proceeds to offer most of the same reductive, petty, predictable nonsense that's been written about MJ for decades.
As usual, most of this is mythology, speculation, and pseudo-pscyhoanalysis. I actually interviewed people who worked on this album
They speak of an artist and person who is multi-dimensional: passionate, kind, funny, shy and HUMAN, not a caricature or corporation.
Did MJ want to sell 100 million copies? Yes. But why? That's the question critics never really consider.
The assumption is that he was this vain, calculating, materialistic "entertainer" targeting demographics.
The truth is that since he was young, he was told black artists couldn't be the best. He wanted to prove them wrong.
He wanted to be the best: commercially AND artistically.
He believed in his music and wanted it to reach as many people as possible.
I address all this in my book. Bottom line: the MJ media caricature is nothing like the artist who worked tirelessly on Bad for 3 years
Michael wanted to sell a lot because that's how he felt loved. Because he never truly experienced convencional love by the usual entities responsible for such, he searched for love by the public. Selling a lot was his way of feeling that.

"I don't think you'd do well in captivity." - random person's comment to me the other day
I agree with what Vogel said. Michael wanted to be the best/do well both COMMERCIALLY and ARTISTICALLY. I had nothing to do with "being loved". Of course, Michael wanted to be loved by his fans and he loved his fans as much as they loved him. Sales only validated that he was doing well and that people actually liked/loved him and his music enough to buy it.

Michael never wanted to be the best artistically. Nor did he ever had talent to have such mindset.

If you said "musically" instead of "artistically" I may have agreed with you to a certain extent. But art includes performance, fashion, choreography, videography...even how you choose to appear to the public everyday. So yeah...Michael was definitely one of the best artists!!

Don't pay attention to the BS MOL puts here. Anyone who thinks he didn't have to talent to want to be the best artistically doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about.

MJ was the best singer and dancer the music industry has ever known. However, he never excelled in other areas. In addition, at some point he became too controversial to be taken serious. Along with his pathological family, he was one of the saddest freakshows the world has seen to this day and age.
