Obvioulsly some bad decision making. Why not make a vid 4 Whatever Happens and make it a single around the world. This is such a cool song and had the potential 2 do xtremelly well at least on the Billboard chart.

This is the Michael Jackson that I miss...



"Looking in my mirror
Took me by surprise
I can't help but see you
Running often through my mind

Helpless like a baby
sensual disguise
I can't help but love you
It's getting better all the time


I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it,no

Love to run my fingers
softly while you sigh
love came and possessed you
bringing sparkles to your eyes

Like a trip to heaven
heaven is the prize
and I'm so glad I found you girl
you're an angel in disguise


I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it,no


and I'm so glad I found you girl
you're an angel in disguise"


I played this on my radio show last night.

Invincible was a great ballad album. Demo or not, what I found interesting about "Xscape" is that it was funkier and more engaging than most of the uptempo material that made the final cut on Invincible.

This is weird, because I read a lot of reviews of the album, and each one came from people who thought that their own opinion was the major authority and the be and end all of the quality of the album. However, almost all reviews coming from Europe dismissed the slow jams as mushy crap, and praised the uptempos. The reviews from the US did the exact opposite. Never have I seen an album divide almost every individual so completely on each and every song.


After reading the reviews for Invincible I was preparing myself for one of the worst albums ever made!!! I guess they just want to say nothing good about MJ because I still rate it as his best album since Off The Wall. It may not flow as well as his other albums but you can't fuck with You Rock My World, Whatever Happens, Unbreakable, Butterflies, Heartbreaker and Break Of Dawn.

MJ should let Remy Shand produce his next album,and let Jamiroquai contribute about three tracks.What do you guys think? It would be better than having MJ work with all these "trendy",lame R&B producers that he usually works with these days.
if Michael worked with them Soaky Turkeys I'd Talk Trash about Him.MJ Needs to Call R.Kelly Up&Get some of that "chocolate Factory&Some of that Isley Brother Vibe.MJ Needs to Work with Da Kang of Modern R&B all the way.I'll always Buy MJ Albums but do i expect things like the past? No.different Era&vibe.Remy is a Ice Shake Lame Clone of Maxwell.the Only Cat from Canada that MJ should work with is Gino Vanneli&His Brother Ross on Arrangements. Jamiroquai? don't Insult Michael like that.He does there Best Stuff on His Off Day.

I won't say this again (mayb:) But how can u fault Whatever Happens? It's fantastic. Right up there with the very supreme songs that he has made over the years.

Really liking an Isley like makeover for Micheal. He really needs to get rid of those slow melodramatic pop songs about Charlie Chaplin and all and get some really hot R&B going and/or get into some hardcore dance/club shit! And funky rock never hurt anyone when its done right. Ask Prince!

LOS ANGELES, June 10 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A dynamic new synergy is developing in the music world as Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, announced today a new partnership with music business legend Charles Koppelman.

Koppelman, Chairman and CEO of CAK Entertainment, will advise on a variety of new and exciting music and business ventures for Michael; including releases that may be on the market by the end of the year. Koppelman is uniquely qualified to work with Michael given his four decades of experience in the music industry and ties to the financial community.

Koppelman got his start in the music business with famed publisher Don Kirshner. While at Columbia records Koppelman's ear for talent led to the success of such soon to be stars as Billy Joel, Journey, Janis Ian and Phoebe Snow. During the late 1970's and early 1980's, he guided the music careers of Barbra Streisand, Tracy Chapman, Dolly Parton, Glen Campbell, and many others. In the 1980's his company SBK Entertainment World became the world's largest independent music publisher.

Ever the innovator, Koppelman and his partners sold SBK Entertainment and started SBK records, releasing multi-platinum debut albums from Wilson-Phillips, Vanilla Ice, Technotronic, Jon Secada, and D'Angelo. In the 1990's he masterminded the release of Frank Sinatra's 20 million sellers "Duets". At EMI / Capitol Records, he supervised the careers of Bonnie Raitt, Garth Brooks, Arrested Development and Sinead O'Conner. After restructuring at EMI in the late 1990's Koppelman stepped down and diversified his activities through CAK Entertainment.

"I am thrilled to be working with a man like Charles Koppelman" said Jackson, "His genius is known throughout the music and business world and I am sure our work together will break new ground."


Sounds good to me...
