I LOVE how they used the footage of Michael dancing in the shadows from the In The Closet video and got the female dancer from the video to dance with him in shadow. It made it look like they were actually dancing together
 
Just saw an news report on television about the video, i absolutely hated it when the narrator said that he "lives in his music"......I was like: "C'mon!, He shot more than two dozens short films!!, that means he "lives" in them too!!".
Does this makes any sense? Or am i angry for no reason?

When people say that someone lives in their music they generally mean all music including short films. Anything that involves music is generally considered covered by that statement
 
EDIT: It's hard to explain what i exactly mean, so just forget my posts.

Sorry, the images didn't copy across, but there's a fun map on the link that shows most tweeted MJ songs in each country.
 
According to my sources, MJ ONE's video of APWNN will be released this weekend

Yes, when you move your cursor over the countries, it shows what songs is most tweeted there, like in Canada Bad is most tweeted and US Thriller.

Cool.

When are the officials planning to post a APWNN video @ YouTube?

Did it say somewhere that this video is only 12 hours available in twitter, so I would assume it would be uploaded to MJ's channel soon enough?

Thanks, I really like what they did with the vid. It actually takes a few viewings before you really appreciate it (that's what happened to me anyway lol). Of course the best parts are the MJ shots! So beautiful.

Overall it was a nice effort and I hope they continue in that direction.
 
The only thing what we can do right now is hope that the public likes, buys and requests the song. It would be awesome if Michael has a new #1 single!
 
it was only exclusive to twitter for 12 hrs

It's now on youtube

 
Just rewatched the video. It's a shame they went with the dancers, I think, because the song tells such a cohesive story. It would have been great to have seen that story played out on-screen. As it is, none of the visuals really match the lyrics apart from the jeep at the beginning. E.g. "...and the birds" shows just a desert plain. Would it not have been obvious to include a shot of some birds at that point? "Through the fog, a woman appeared" - there was no fog and the woman had been in clear view in front of the jeep since the start of the video. I just don't get why there is so much discord when the lyrics are SO explicit. I also don't like how they cut the last section from the bridge and gave the song a short ending. On a positive note, the footage of Michael fits well and is great to see.

There is potential gif material on 3:44 few second onwards. It looks like he says naughty word:D

Also the woman didn't cry, if we are counting not implemented lyrics.

No preorder for the single? Not even a single at all?! They're messing up.

I LOVE the new ending actually. How it ends with Michael's voice completely in acapella for the last note.

Though I agree with you with the rest that it should have followed the storyline of the song. That is the only negative I had about the video.

Single gets released in Germany next month so far. Strange..LNFSG was already available one day after it's premiere...
