Don't be laughing at me.

I doubt it KOPV. If anything, the success of this single will push MJ's project back to allow more build up. I think the key with MJ's project is to watch for news of a deal. As in record deal. Once that happens, things will move very quickly....

Right now, the positive feedback on HRH can't be nothing but a good thing for all concerned. They have to be totally stoked right now.

Well, haven't there been times in the past when leaks simply resulted in singles being put out earlier than planned? What happened with Usher's song? Didn't an early leak happen but it was released anyway. I understand that it might mess with strategy, etc., but in today's music climate, if people are reacting so positively to a record, can the chance be taken to withhold it? Things change so fast. While this may have everyone's attention today, if not jumped on, something else may grab that attention away tomorrow. If another catchy tune comes out and gets labeled the "summer's anthem" then it would be hard to go back and get that time back.

Hopefully they will strike while the iron is hot. Too much positivity about this track for it to be ignored.

And this is the ultimate bottom line.

And it may pull him a Grammy, too.

They are not gonna leave $$$$ on the table.

No sir-ree Bob they ani't....

I do think that this song is definitely worthy of a Grammy nominee as one that truly deserves it and not simply based on popularity.

Good points. Unless there is some legal issues surrounding MJ's participation that still exists, if I were Sony/ATV.... and company... I wouldn't overreact here. If the song is gonna come out... let it be.

I still say this is one hellva pub stunt here.

Remember, MJ was once the King of pub stunts under Frank DeLeo...

I've gotta tell ya, hearing MJ's voice again has just made my entire YEAR. ^____^:heart::heart::heart:I'm going to be stationed overseas for a little over a year with my unit coming up this week, so I've been feeling a little fried with all the stuff going on. My face is actually starting to hurt now from smiling so hard.:lol: But when I heard the music start and Mj coming in, I just felt comletely refreshed like I had just gotten a full night's sleep. I think it's awesome. I thought the music itself was really light and fresh. And you can say what you want about Akon ( I don't much care for his music myself) but he does perform really well with MJ. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying I think he has an awesome voice or anything. I just think he has the type voice that harmonizes very well with MJs. Anyway the point is I think the song is amazing and if this the kind of collaboration that Mr. Jackson can make for himself, I can't wait to see what he's going to do on his own album.

My video doesn't have a horse or a church, great ideas though :)

I see a girl standing by the sea (tide coming in over her feet) the shimmering light from the moon shows a figure (Akon cause it's his song) with his hand held out toward her....Michaels crystal voice sings....Hold my Hand, the girl turn's....hair flowing in the cool evening breeze, she walks forward...hand outstretched, passes Akon as his figure fades away and walks toward the lone silhouette left standing on the beach, the girl and Michaels hands touch and together they hold in a warm embrace and Akon sings......'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'.

Well, what would make me think that it was for PR was how long it lasted before getting pulled. There were an awful lot of views and reports starting to surface yesterday.

And you're right, there could still be legal issues surrounding it. But, then again, perhaps not. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Finally, a song that once again everyone from young to old can enjoy and it is up in the air about a release. Come on, music industry. This got a reaction for a reason.

Actually, if there is not a legal issue in the way, they may need to go ahead and release it. So many keep saying how fresh it is. They need to get credit in the mainstream and on the airways for that, not copycats who may have heard the song now. Whether intentional or not, it was put out there. The reaction to problems is often the make or break deal to anything. I mean, how would you all feel if the next thing we know, some of the MJ copycats are singing something similar and getting credit for the fresh new sound?

I totally agree. I'm hoping that the message on that hiphop board is correct and that it will be on the air this month.

I was thinking about the video of this music ... the lirycs are romantic, but they're two guys who sing ... Perhaps they want to do the video with scenes of the recording or both on stage with people claping...
I'm very exciting to see the short film!


Holllllllllllllllll my hannnnnnnnnnnd!!!!!!!|o|
 
Re: It's here: Akon feat. Michael Jackson "Hold my hand" UTube Audio pg. 1; lyrics posts 55 and 188

Makes me so happy to hear michael's voice again. Fantastic song!
 
Re: It's here: Akon feat. Michael Jackson "Hold my hand" UTube Audio pg. 1; lyrics posts 55 and 188

Ive been listening to this song for two days straight and still cant get enough of it! Michaels vocals are hypnotising!

Also, i have just created my own Michael Jackson Blog would love everyone to check it out! http://www.michael-jackson-blogger.blogspot.com

Also, if you have a MJ site or blog i would be more then happy to add it to my page. Check out the site for details. :)

..Now, back to the music..
 
Re: It's here: Akon feat. Michael Jackson "Hold my hand" UTube Audio pg. 1; lyrics posts 55 and 188

I feel sorry for Akon and MJ if this was leaked unintentionally, because no doubt they have been working hard on it, and everything has been kept quiet . . and maybe they wanted to surprise us all too
 
Re: It's here: Akon feat. Michael Jackson "Hold my hand" UTube Audio pg. 1; lyrics posts 55 and 188

I'm glad to hear Mike's new joint. Not happy that "flash-in-the-pan/flavor of the minute" Akon is on it, but I am happy to hear Mike's voice.

Living legends do NOT need half a** wanna be's on their record. PERIOD. When will record companies learn that and quit pairing up the biggest superstar in the GALAXY with some cookie cutter pseudo R&B hip hop performer? Seriously! What are they gonna do next? Put Hanna Montana on a record w/ Mike so that it will help boost her sales (I mean it would, but I don't want Hanna and Mike singing a duet).

Man, I'm glad to hear Mike. I just wish I could hear Mike and NOTHIN, but Mike.
 
Re: It's here: Akon feat. Michael Jackson "Hold my hand" UTube Audio pg. 1; lyrics posts 55 and 188

I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo crqazy when I heard the song the first time two days ago! It's sooooooooooooooooooo wonderful to hear Michaels voice....
But I don't like the fact that the song is leaked, that's a petty for Michael and Akon.....
So hopefully the song will be released officially soon :) I'll buy it!!

:doh: That's not Mike's new song, that's Akons. He's just featured. Where you been?

Michael ALWAYS uses "flash-in-the-pan/flavor of the minute" on his album.. He takes what's hott (right now) and uses what lives on forever with it.. So it will hit big because of the flavor of the minute, but it will last forever because it is simply a STRONG song, melodically, instramentally, vocally. etc..

he did it in the 80's, 90's, and still..

why else do u think he used Shaq on his album?? lol! we hated the thought of that before we heard the outcome

Very strong melodic tune, smooth harmony; love the piano....should get plenty of radio play. We'll see.

It sounds like Mike's happy, that's another thing I love about that song!

and todays music industry is not about SALES anymore.. simply because albums don't sell well.. People don't remember what albums sell unless it's going to be the BEST selling or the worst selling?? U tell me a NON MJ fan that knows what Bad, Dangerous, Off the Wall, or HIStory sold?? they could not tell you.. cuz to them it does not matter.. it's about EXPOSER.. and that's why we hear Akon and Neyo on everyones songs..

Today 'the most famous' people are the most exposed.. Not the most talented.. The more u see and hear the person, the more famous our culture thinks of them.

Picture Quincy being on MJ songs all the time.. lol! "Qunicy Musik... Ya" lol!

NEVER because that Exposer was not the goal.. now exposer is the goal and reward..

sales launch exposer and bring in money.. but in the end of the day, FAME is about EXPOSER today.

I've been noticing that for awhile now... Timbaland for example, used to have such a great sound back in the day with Aaliyah and Missy Elliot and all them, and they would be so different from each other. Now Timbaland is in EVERYTHING now (and I'm tired of it too).
