the mj vs beyoncé thing is ridiculous. i can't think of any other female artist who on top right now. i guess we can also have rihanna and lady gaga.
I see the topic has evolved since the last time I posted in this thread.
Shoo away the prominent artists of today (with some lucky exceptions). It would be in my favor to listen to a duet between the King and the man J Star himself:

As far as Beyoncé, while I agree that it would be a good move in terms of getting public attention, Nite Line is right: her fans would immediately jump on the “she’s better than MJ” train. They already go out of their way to invalidate him as it is; let’s not give them any more ammunition.
Also, WHO DARE SAYS THAT GLOUCESTERSHIRE IS AWFUL!? Lmao that’s one of my favorite MJ songs in years. I’m devastated he didn’t finish it. It feels like something that would’ve been on OTW if he recorded it in the 2000s.

AlwaysThere;4317468 said:Yeah, the pronunciation thing really doesn’t phase me. I’m from the US, and if he did a song about Philadelphia and mispronounced it I’m sure it would take a bit to overlook, but if the song was good enough I could forgive it. Musically I absolutely adore it though.
Well... no. In 2019, this would’ve been absolutely true. But over the last two years, public perception towards MJ has swung back towards positive. Obviously the new music is all speculation, but the brand is recovering quickly.

I agree. As far as numbers go, MJ is still a massive presence in the industry (he’s still in the Spotify Top 100 globally), and I feel like the first post-LN project will absolutely draw attention. But you’re right; the success is up in the air for now.
HBO’s case is looking bad, so I’ve got high hopes for that. No clue about Wade or James’; I haven’t kept up.

Sure, he says "shire" instead of "sheer", but he got the "gloster" part right.
I also thought that he pronounces it ''Glostershire'' at first. He actually sings: ''I wish that we'll see Glou-CESTER-shire, again.'' LOL
But the song is really beautiful in my opinion.
dam2040;4317522 said:Yeah not a fan.
Anyway, I really think MJE are waiting for Wade to be thrown on the 24th and then HBO before anything new happens.
Yeah...thats shii is weird!!! VERY WEIRDthe industry is going in the disco direction again so they can work with some unreleased off the wall songs like sunset driver which is a hit in my opinion
i think it has the least amount of unreleased songs online from a mj album
the next hologram's gonna have an afro
