Michael Jackson recorded it.
what? i don't understand what u r saying? r u saying that because John Lennon recorded 'i saw her' that it's technically not a beatles song if Paul records it? i ain't goin for it.
i think there are a lot of music historians on this board, and u guys are some..but i am one too. lol..and right now, i have enough info between this and Beyonce and the four year old song to grab the grammys by their throat and never let go. i felt this way before the grammys truly outed themselves, this year. i say they tried to sabotage MJ. u can have one fly in the ointment, or many. it's the same to me. and i don't care what people say, one fly or many, people wouldn't buy the ointment.
u release an album, u have one new song or many...one redo or a remake, or rearrangement. one new song that was written years ago, or written today; the difference being, u know about it vs. u don't know that the song was written years ago. it's not the quantity or the knowledge or lack thereof, it's the principle. if u cheat on me today or twenty five years ago or forty five years ago, and are not sorry, i'll hold it against you the same..and so will many others, whether or not they admit to it.
if t25 were by anybody else, the grammys would give them the best of all worlds..but it's MJ, so they try to give him the worst of all worlds. they're envious. they never need to advertise when he's gunna be on, and i got the feeling over the later years that they were hoping the grammys would be missed when he was on, and when he wasn't going to be on, they spent a fortune on advertising, cus they were right to have the feeling the program would get low ratings sans him and high ratings with him. and they hate being upstaged by him. and they're more bitter than ever, today, and in their attempt to hurt him, they have hurt themselves. and now, karma has come back to them. they suck. they're illegitimate. and, i'm afraid i have to admit that usa media has given me a bit of tunnelvision, where i was made to think that a usa award is the best award in the world to get. well..now, my eyes are opened. the more legit awards are outside the usa. i don't care what anybody says in reaction to this post...i'd be willing to go to vegas and bet that i'm right. right now, they're advertising ad nauseum for this year's grammys, and they even had a special that they never had before. a pre grammys 'celebration' where they announced the noms, live on the paid for broadcast. in my view it still won't help their ratings next year. between them and the american charts, they cheated MJ. McCartney releases this new album and it hits the regular charts. t25 gets released and it's on a catalogue chart. as far as i'm concerned. if 'i saw her standing there' is on the regualr charts along with that album, it should be on a catalogue chart. and, lol, if u want to know why i think so, u'll just have to reread my post. lol. i'm willing to gamble that MJ doesn't go and do another project without the intent of getting a grammy nod, considering the timing of the release of t25 and everything..and i know he's been in the business long enough to know the grammy rules, which have now become 'rules'(subject to change on behalf of anti MJ conspiracy)
having said all that, arxter, i like ur smileys. lol.
