Michael wrote a song back in 1978 called "We Are The Ones"...Why do I feel this is the song? 3T did a song called "YOU are the ones" I think they just changed a few lyrics

I think they're seperate songs. 3T had started writing songs when they were REALLY young (they have songs registered with the Library of Congress/US Copyright from 1988-89)

I just heard it and started going through my conspiracy motions lol

^^ That clip reminded me how much I love that part of the song and the song in general.

For me, picking up where Man In The Mirror left off, Will You Be There sees Michael pen his own gospel and choral inspired song with what are, to this point in his career, the most personal of lyrics and ones that would carry extra weight in the years that came after it. Steeped in deep harmonies that swell around him, Michael sings with a sense of honesty that both inspires and attracts. The stripped back arrangement, whilst sparse, lets the vocals truly shine and you can hear the pressures cracking in Michael’s delivery of “but I’m only human” (a fact lost on many a journalist and fan alike). The midpoint of the song is like a gentle climb up a summit, each step carried by the choir and Michael’s call and response. Each bar pushing higher and higher, and sweeping the listener up in the process until the soft landing of the final two minutes that allow Michael to speak about his life from his point of view, in words that would become strangely prophetic for the years that would unfold before him.

This is song is in my top 10 favorites from MJ for all the reasons you specified. I'm not a real big fan of gospel, but I like his take on it. When he sings this song though, it feels as if it's coming from his soul. Kinda like he's spilling his guts out to us as if he's pleading with me to see him as a human, to support him...to be there for him.

After everything that has happened, the song is really haunting...at least for me.

Nikki Sixx Facebook page ...ge Factory
Nikki Sixx Facebook page goes into meltdown over Michael Jackson comment


Wed, 13/07/2011 - 22:59
Click the image to open in full size.With so much access to social media, fans can connect to their favourite bands by just following their tweets and liking their page. Back in the days prior to social media, publicists modified the script of rockstars being interviewed and censored their rants so as to not alienate fans or fellow musicians.
But our voyeur side often gets the better of us and when it's so easy to comment on your idol's rant, things can get out of hand if a Facebook page isn't moderated. It seems that has occurred today on the page of MOTLEY CRUE bass player, Nikki Sixx. Sixx is a champion for connecting with fans and he's bloody good at it too. But tonight, as he often does, he shared a personal moment about a dream that he had that has sent the page into meltdown.

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 547x242 and weights 43KB.

Click the image to open in full size.Nikki Sixx: "Just woke from a dream and was thinking so many of you looked the other way when MJ was caught with his hand in the coffee jar of underage kids and thought,,,thank good its not true,,,then I realized the moral majority is brainwashed and the pedophile died of a drug overdose ending in another cover up GOD BLESS THE SPIN DOCTORS...life is weird...back to sleep...maybe a dream of honesty?"
Of course, Sixx is referring to Michael Jackson and that court case many years ago. This sent his fans and Facebook page into overdrive. Some accused Sixx of being drunk and on drugs again, some said that his Facebook page had been hacked and some accused Sixx of not speaking his mind when Michael Jackson was alive. And a multitude of loyal fans backed him up.

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 512x256 and weights 48KB.

Click the image to open in full size.Pages of comments later, Sixx replied: "10 YEARS SOBER, FATHER OF 4, MULTIPLE BUSINESSES, SUCCESSFUL IN ALL MY VENTURES (MOTLEY, SIXX AM, SIXX SENSE, PHOTOGRAPHER & ROYAL UNDERGROUND). HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME BY SAYING I AM ON DRUGS OR DRINKING FOR HAVING AN OPINION ABOUT A CREEP FUCK WHO IN MY OPINION RAPED CHILDREN. LAST I CHECKED WE WERE IN AMERICA, AND I AM NKKI SIXX OF MOTLEY CRUE AND DON'T TAKE ORDERS FROM KNOW BODY. READ MY BOOKS, LISTEN TO THE LYRICS."
Whether it is typical Sixx style and voicing his opinion (and you've got to respect someone who stands by what they believe in) or whether someone has hacked the page, it's interesting to read the reactions of fans. No doubt Michael Jackson fans will be blazing a trail to Sixx's Facebook page to have their say too.
And maybe he's just trying to point out the "Lies of the Beautiful People."

It's not slang, it's stupid. As for Nikki quiting drugs and alcohol... well if I recall didn't he get busted with a DUI not too long ago? So I wouldn't say he's sober. lol

Who cares what losers like Nikki Sixx have to say? His comments do nothing but prove how much of an ignorant ass he is.

The irony is that when he made this statement he was trying to sniff the white lines off the Green Bay Packers field.

Sadly an irrelevant comment by a no longer relevant musician.

Now back to the music....
