I've been listening 2 Michael Jacksons last album a lot recently. I'm not a massive MJ fan but I do love a few of his albums. This latest one gets my seal of opproval (it just took me a while to get into it).

Anyway, I usally like the tuff records 'Bad' 'Smooth criminal' 'Scream' 'Come together' and songs on the new LP like 'Unbreakable' and 'Threaned'.

But I think the song 'Heaven can wait' is fantastic. It's so nice to hear a romantic song with tons of emotion and feeling without it being soppy or dreamy. This is a great example of what a love song should be (and very well preformed to)!

Has anyone else heard it? Any opionions on the track? Do U agree?

Tihs is my new favorite song off Invincible. It used to be Butterflies, but the emotion at the end of that song blows me away.

"Heaven Can Wait" is alright...but "Butterflies" and "Whatever Happens" does it for me on "Invincible"

I prefer Break of Dawn over Heaven can Wait, but both are tracks that stand out and that prove Invincible had waaay more potential than people realise. I'll agree with the critics that it was not a 'classic' but it was full of distinct, note-worthy songs that would have done very well as radio-singles.

I think it's better viewed as an album than a compilation of songs. Ie, Bad was a disc of music with 11 individual and GREAT songs on it. Invincible is a lovely album of music from start to finish (maybe thats why)!

I went CRAZY when I first heard this song! I was thinking "finally,the soulful,Off The Wall-era Michael is back!!".This song is like "I Can't Help It",mesmerizing and beautiful.When you hear that first chorus,it just makes you go "damn!"...



"Tell the angels no,I don't wanna leave my baby alone...I don't want nobody else to hold you,it's a chance I'll take,baby I'll stay,Heaven Can Wait..."


It's one of MJ's most effective and most soulful songs ever.Shame on Sony for not releasing it as a single!

Break of Dawn is better, but I love 'em both

I think it starts off wonderfully but loses way near the end when he starts shouting. The song doesn't seem to be going anywhere and the tune drifts off into nothingness. I'd still give it a 7/10 for the rest of it though. I prefer Break of Dawn.

"Tell the angels no, I don't wanna leave my baby alone..."

Tune!

That's what gets me, too. MJ was singing his clear ass off towards the end!!!

MJ screamed thru all of "Invincible"...it was ear exploding.

this tune gets me crazy.

his voice is beautiful on is.

infact,only a couple of songs (Threatened,Don't Walk Away,The Lost Children) r sub-par on Invincible really.

i just cant get in2 these,& same 4 "you are my life",,,that was,until i paid attention 2 that hook.


when he sings "like the stars that twinkle at night"
just something about that tiny part of the song melts me.

Oh dear. 'You Are My Life' is my least favourite MJ song EVER. I think it' damn awful. That and 'Privacy'.

I used to think 'Don't Walk Away' was boring, but then the harmonies at the end blew me away.

'The Lost Children' is sweet in the most uncommerical way possible. Why it is on theer is hard to comprehend, but it has a nice melody.

After all the positive news in the last couple of days I put it back into my player, too.

"Heaven can wait" is my second favourite slow song after "Butterflies". It's a great song though I think it still lacks a bit of originality, but his voice is just amazing.

What about "Invicible" the titel track? This is the song which improved most in my personal Vince list. It's some kind of pure sound and it is very dramatic, too. "She's In-Vinci-Ble"

Vince starts with "Unbreakalbe" and ends first after "Butterflies" and it comes back with "Whatever Happens" and "Threatened". The rest... I just don't like it.

Agreed.Those two songs plus "Don't Walk Away" should have been replaced by three stronger tunes.

Break Of Dawn & Heaven Can Wait equals perfektly 2 me! I get chills listening with both of em

Break of Dawn!!!

Should have become a single and remixed!

I think it's fine as it is.

The album is mostly shit, but I dig Break Of Dawn.
