Am I a bad fan since I like Safire's version better? *ducks and hides*
Their sound mixing is much better. The good thing with the MJ version is MJ's vocals. Too bad Sony did this...
I wonder if there will be remixes in the future combining the MJ vocals with Safire's version...? Fans would do a better job in remixing and polishing this track... Shame...
So you've never heard In The Back or Fall Again or Beautiful Girl, then??
Hey you guys!
I was very busy the past few days, so didn't have time to visit the forum, but I was dying to do so this whole time, cuz I wanted to talk about "This is it" with you guys!
The moment I heard it I knew it was MJ, but many years ago!
His voice sounds so young, listen to his counting in the beginning.
And just like you said, it's not finished! Some tones aren't pitched very well etc.
I am indeed very glad that we have something from Mike, but I think he never wanted this. He was such a perfectionist, he would never wanna bring out anything that isn't finished yet........
I just hate it that people now think that is what he's been up to the last months.....
Still love every new thing I hear from him, but still.
i agree with much of what has been said - you can so tell this is old and most definitely in demo form - the vocals are not crisp and clear and as Charlotte says - he was a perfectionist and would never have allowed this to go out.
Having said that we are all desperate to have something, anything from him and we are forced by Sony to accept this. I am ashamed to say I will put cash in their pockets because I want to buy the album but I am sorely pissed with them about it!
Wasn't Michaels supposed to sing it at the O2 50 concerts????
I know Sony are just after money but this might be the only Michael Jackson song called "This is it".
This demo might also be for Safire, who then just sang it exactly like the demo (with the addition to her own music).
Very puzzling stuff but I guess that Michael might of liked the song himself and wanted it for the theme for the concerts (but only to be sung at the 50 concerts and not released on CD or MP3).
This Is It (Single) 3 version http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=25ADA30AD2E1241E
why is everything such an issue.. the man is gone.. dead...murdered...
stop with the complaining ........the complaints were non-stop when he was alive... with some people only posting when they want to bitch about this and that...
the song is beautiful.........his voice is excellent... half the world have never heard the song.. and it will be #1....whether he wrote it 24Jun09 or in 1991.......it is still Michael...
good grief...........
^ I don't like the idea than Michael wouldn't have wanted it to be released, that's all.
Geez. I've changed my mind anyway, I won't buy the album. I still prefer Michael's version though. He's voice is so beautiful even though it's just a demo.
