It's the best compilation Motown has done on Michael (Soulsation being the best on J5)
The upcoming "Dear Michael" set they have coming out in Japan looks real cool too "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

So as some of you know, I made a 3 part set of most of the unreleased material that is circulating
Set I To Sir With Love
but since it seems more songs may possibly leak this summer, I may have to update it for the third time "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

I chomp up MJ unreleased tracks like Eric Williams' teeth on a shrimp "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

Great work bboy87!
Even though some of the songs on this list has been released on compilations and leaked in some fashion, it is still impressive that there are so many cuts that remain unreleased. WOW! Check me out and add me on:

One of my favourite bonus parts - during TII you can clearly hear the band play DSTYGE, and in one of the bonus parts they give you a flash of the set list and I was happy to see DSTYGE was on there.
Would have been great to hear MJ sing it live again. "I'm not human I'm a dove, I'm ur conscience. I am love" | |

I had a hard time trying to decide what should be included:
Should I include that was unreleased then was put on compilations later?
Should I include material that is only available in snippets?
Then the whole issue of all the leaked tracks from the Cascio recordings was a whole other headache "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

Heartbreak Hotel was on there too. I think Michael would've changed up the set list after certain shows, that way it wouldn't have been the same set all 50 shows
So we know these songs were considered/rehearsed/planned: Don't Stop Til You Get Enough Rock With You Heartbreak Hotel Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' Thriller Beat It Billie Jean Human Nature Bad (I think this would've been fleshed out more than just the intro for They Don't Care About Us) The Way You Make Me Feel Man In The Mirror I Just Can't Stop Loving You Dirty Diana Smooth Criminal Jam Black Or White Will You Be There Dangerous They Don't Care About Us Stranger In Moscow Earth Song You Are Not Alone
There were others..... I'm forgetting some "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

We Are The World was mentioned and J5 Medley ‘You don’t understand — if I’m not there to receive these ideas, God might give them to Prince.’ | |

Weren't they rehearsing Ghosts? ‘You don’t understand — if I’m not there to receive these ideas, God might give them to Prince.’ | |

Heartbreak Hotel was rehearsed musically but didn't progress as MJ felt there wasn't enough "production" value for it. Michael Bearden that initially the band rehearsed around 36 songs, and then MJ and him would go back and forth on what to include - what not to etc.
They said that they would keep Stranger In Moscow and swap it in some nights in place of Human Nature.
I'm sure as the tour progressed some nights a song would be substituted or added, much like he did with DS and Come Together. "I'm not human I'm a dove, I'm ur conscience. I am love" | |

They were rehearsing the dance moves from Ghosts - this was to be part of the breakdown of Threatened at the end of Thriller. "I'm not human I'm a dove, I'm ur conscience. I am love" | |

I remember getting excited when early on a british tabloid (more fool me) printed a set list. My excitement that is was authentic went when I saw Girlfriend on the list ‘You don’t understand — if I’m not there to receive these ideas, God might give them to Prince.’ | |

so proud.
Ordered. But I gotta wait almost a month before it arrives. "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." | |

Thank you for sharing your story. I know it's hard to admit such things. It takes a lot of strength to be able accept and come to terms with such painful things. It's definitely not easy. So I commend you for sharing that. ^^
I know that we all have our opinions, but that's a real shitty one.
I don't think that this opinion reflects the current market, at all. You just happen to prefer it that music. No one really makes music like that anymore save for the post-disco revival as people are trying to recreate using new technology, Daft Punk and a shitload of other new artists. Some artists try to recreate the Motown sound as they are classics, but in it's still an 80s market with the 90s coming back. Especially since a lot of people still listen and enjoy the music, because it is fun to dance to and enjoy. Ultimately, this is why I think your opinion is full of shit.
Unless you are from the future I don't think that you can make such assumptions. As of right now, there's been more focus on the music. It seems to be, mainly, rock enthusiasts that just try to trash him at every chance they get for some reason. That being said, all of those things will be his legacy, because that was all of him. The fact that he was a huge pop star and eccentric and created music that a good chunk of the world loves. Shit like that doesn't just go away and you are fool to think so. Especially since it's been only 2 years since he passed. Even the Beatles legacy took some good 20 years to really set itself in stone.
You are only saying that, because he did die. No one knew what the future could have held had he lived. No one.

So...anybody going to anything on June 25th? Any parties or events? I'm going to the Spike Lee B-day think in Brooklyn, but that's in August. ^^
I would like to watch the shows, but it's the same shit everytime. Wish I could see something different for once. | |

Love you forever Michael. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

Notice how the fans, apart from Kibbles, ignored this post. Fantastic.
Murray will walk away a free man because of Joe calling MJ a junkie in order to sue AEG and get money. I want to see the fans' reactions when this happens. To whom will they point the finger at, then? | |
