Well, the song was so bad even Stevie Wonder could see it. | |

Out of all the Bad songs it just is the weakest song. The only memorable thing about it is that Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson didn't write their duet themselves and sang someone else's song. And not even a good one at that.
It was awkward because they were missing notes.... Neyo in the very beginning was not able to hit alot of the notes in The Way You Make Me Feel and his voice even cracked.....
Melanie Fiona.... (while I do really like her) forgot some of the lyrics (and kind of made up her own lyrics)
Looking at these clips shows why Michael was so special.. more specifically his voice.. He could do so many things with his voice, he could sing in a variety of different styles and genres.... everyone cant sing a Michael Jackson song.....thats why majority dont and just stick to covering songs in J5 instead.
I will never get Neyos popularity... his so boring to watch.

and at the end of Dirty Diana.... she didnt do the Chamone right it wasnt very awkward..... She has a pretty voice but her voice is not suited for pop music.... it was awkward to hear her sing "BAD"

"Just Good Friends" is actually my personal favorite from Bad. Love the wicked chords and flowing vibe of the song. Just an underrated jam. I guess every artist has a song they collaborated on that they digust.
But this review was interesting. Very interesting. Typical Spike nature, but as always, Spike has another winner on his hands. Can't wait to see it. Check me out and add me on:

Michael Jackson’s 3 children Prince, Paris and Blanket attended a Railcats baseball game in their father’s hometown of Gary, Indiana along with their aunt LaToya Jackson on Thursday.
Blanket always looks so serious. Does he ever smile?

Did P really say the following regarding Michael's bad album? "You know why they called the album Bad, right? Because they couldn't fit TERRIBLE on the cover." MJ Fan 1992-Forever

Somehow I doubt it. I know he didn't like "We Are The World" and refused to be a part of it. But he did offer his own take of a charity song I believe.
It's not a secret that P didn't like the Bad music video, for various reasons. And while I wouldn't put it past him to say something like that, in reality he's got nothing but respect for Mike and they were good, close friends and rivals.
And unless I get a soundbite of him saying that, I'd prefer to stick to what I know.

As far as I know, he never said it. In fact, Quincy Jones said that when Prince heard (I think he said the song but he might've meant the album, who knows?) it he said "this is real good". He always looked up to Mike. | |

Spike Lee’s Bad 25 is a truly amazing documentary focusing on the passion, inspiration and most of all – the music. By selectively presenting rare, unseen archival footage and interviews with people closest to the creation of the record BAD, Spike Lee shows us the brilliance of Michael Jackson as an artist. He takes us on a trip, song by song, making us feel like a part of the process. Michael Jackson’s life was mirrored in his compositions. What makes this film fresh is that we don’t see Michael through the eyes of media nor through the eyes of people who idealized him. The film does not make a statement on Jackson’s life – it describes his music, dancing skills, songwriting process and professionalism.
I was expecting yet another film about the tragedy and/or glory of Michael Jackson, a person trapped in a ‘wonderland’ of the celebrity life. Instead I saw a document on the creation of one of the most important albums in the history of music. As Spike Lee clarified afterwards – he wanted to show the work of Michael Jackson, to share the creative process. To see the blood, sweat and tears. “Michael did not just sit on his ass” says Lee. He was working hard from the age of 7 when he was studying the great musicians like James Brown. Michael Jackson confessed two of his greatest heroes were Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Spike Lee says he wanted to show how much hard work it is. “You don’t just roll out of bed and become a genius”. He wanted to show how involved in every aspect of the production Michael was.
Similar to Cameron Crowe’s ‘Pearl Jam 20’ we can tell that Spike Lee knows his story from the inside – culturally, emotionally and sometimes even esoterically. Lee managed to show archival footage of Michael’s collaborations with Quincy Jones and also to interview not only the group of people involved in the production process but also different generations of artists inspired by Jackson including Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Cheryl Crowe and ?estlove among others.
Michael Jackson, like Elvis Presley or The Beatles, changed the music scene forever. ‘BAD’ came after two huge successes; Thriller (the world’s best selling album) and ‘Off the Wall’ but as Spike Leeshows, Michael wanted to do even better. The film mentions Jackson’s controversial life and his death only when it’s absolutely justified – to show the inspiration and passion of an artist.
Bad25 is not only about Michael’s talent, it’s about a team of professionals who contributed to making ‘Bad’ so special. It goes into depth on contributions of producer Quincy Jones, choreographers Jeffrey Daniel and Vincent Paterson, singer/songwriter Siedah Garrett, filmmakers Martin Scorsese (‘BAD’ short film) and Joe Pytka (‘Dirty Diana’, ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’ music videos) and many more.
The opening sequences of the doc are not what you would expect for a typical documentary and this reminds us exactly who the director is. There are ‘in your face moments’ when the ‘F word’ is treated as something usual and funny. There are moments when you laugh, there are moments when an occasional tear may drop from your eye. In the end though it is the passion for Michael Jackson’s music that describes the film most accurately. A truly great tribute for the 25th anniversary of ‘BAD’ released coincidentally on this date, Aug 31st a quarter century ago. -Mat Kolodziejski http://myetvmedia.com/fil...l-jackson/

I can¨t wait to see that documentary. "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." | |

Michael Jackson “Bad” Tracks: Mysteries ExplainedSony Music really liked our story about the new Michael Jackson tracks, the unreleased material from “Bad.” But I’m told the Jackson estate is nervous I’ve implied the tracks were less than genuine. Never! They are 100% pure Michael, and just great.
Here’s an explanation for my earlier questions, just so every is, as we say, on the same page. A source close to the estate emailed me:
“There are no mysteries about the tracks. They were all done in Michael’s studio at Hayvenhurst. Bruce Swedien never worked at Hayvenhurst with Michael and would only have heard the tracks that Michael brought to Quincy [Jones] to include on the album. As a result, there are many songs that would be unfamiliar to Bruce. And, as far as Bill [Bottrell] is concerned, he doesn’t even know the names of all of the tracks he did work on. Is it really surprising that, with the amount of tracks worked on during the BAD sessions, that there are some Bill doesn’t remember having done some engineering on? And, by the way, Bill wasn’t the only engineer working with Michael at Hayvenhurst. Matt Forger was there then as well.”
Fans will love all the versions of “Bad25,” believe me. And I do hope Sony tries to get a couple of hits out of the demos. “I’m so Blue” is so catchy it’s embarrassing! http://www.showbiz411.com...-explained

And what makes you think he didn't? Proof? I mean if he didn't, he would've blocked out the Jackson 5 on his transitor radio back in 1970 or view what he was doing when the both of them were "coming of age"? Unless you think he looked down on Michael or something, I'm all waiting for why he didn't less you think I just brought it out my ass for nothing. But yeah, you're free to dispute that if you want. Go for what you know.

I don't know about "looked up" to Michael, but probably saw him as a worthy competitor. I think there's a element of admiration as Prince likely grew up with the Jackson 5 like every kid of the early 70s. | |
