Still love this song :)

I Love This Song ...... it is a quiet and a smooth beginning ,then .........the storm......LOL
 
1 thing to point out which i love, if you listen to michael just before the first chorus when he sings "if you just" he holds the nose and drags it out which not many people would have done just listen to akons Generic sound when he sings that part on the second chorus start, I also noticed Michael drags his vocals out longer than they seem, just listen this is where michaels expertise comes in ;)

You can really hear how good the quality of Michael's voice is when he draws notes out like he does here.
 
Well one should be able to clearly define Michael's voice from Akon's, simply because their timbre is completely different from one another's. On top of it, Akon doesn't use vibrato, while Michael clearly does. But the way Akon phrases when he sings I think Michael was clearly imitating in the opening verse.

I agree with you. Michael's voice is purer and has a much better tone, and he does have a little vibrato but akon doesn't. I think they tried to blend well together, and Michael also tried to tone himself down to be more like a backup singer through most of the song. He wasn't giving it his all except for the verse he sang at the beginning and then some of his ad libs. He was just imitating Akon and trying to blend with him. Not only that, but they layered their lines so sometimes you can hear Michael, and two Akons or Akon and two Michael's overlapping each other, esp. during the bridge.

Yes, when he sings like that, you can really hear how beautiful his voice is and how pure it sounds. I love it. He also does that on Keep the Faith (beginning) and On the line

Yeah, the quality of Michael's voice crushes Akon's.
 
I think their voices sound really good togehter
and compliment each other - blends very well
The intrumentals are also beautiful the violins
at the beginning and the piano -

They made beautiful music together ... :)
 
They do sound good together. It's the arrangement of the harmony as well. I was just pointing out that Michael's voice clearly stands out from Akon's.
 
Who would of thought that Akon's voice would blend so well with Michael. Michael really brought out the best in Akon with this song. Even though this song is not his usual 'cup of tea', Akon really performed it well.
 
It cracks me up how everyone says MJ is washed up, but when you read all these reviews on all these non MJ sites, everyone is talking about MJ. :hysterical:
 
Shoot, I really had believed that Akon was bein' a liar at first when I read the rumors. Was like, "Ok Akon, fine" lol. Guess they proved my a$$ wrong.
 
If Anyone has Virtual DJ, Put the Vocal Filter on, it pretty much just MJ, lol. In the Bridge you can clearly hear his harmony part alone, he still sounds so damn good. I'd upload it but we can't share the song (Or is alterations of it ok?). AI know i'm gonna be hit with this but I really felt Invincible lacked that Jazziness that brought him all the way to the top. But his harmonies in this song sound like they were taken from the Dangerous outtakes or something! This track has really got me excited.
 
I'd love to hear that SJR, but I'm a total doofus when it comes to that kind of sound editing thing. I hope they allow you to post it. Or maybe you can send me a link via PM? I would be very appreciative.
