I haven't made a thread in a long time. I rarely post here now, but if I have something to say...ill share my thoughts.
Id like to ask fans to be realistic. I've heard some were under the impression that future Michael Jackson material will be untouched. I was under the opposite impression.
I'm not the Estate, I don't know everything, I'm just putting my three cents in the pot.
Michael was a subpar to decent release depending how you view it. At about 2.5 Million copies sold is pretty good. We all know everyone's thoughts on that release.
Bad25 was an excellent release. The Estate, threw us a bone. We Got EVERYTHING we asked for. Sure the concert was VHS quality....but we asked for it and we got it. We Also got Michaels Demos untouched from that era.
~However, Bad25 was a FAN TREAT. It wasn't suppose to be a big seller. The Estate threw us a Bone. They made some money.
The Estate is around to make money, having every project like Bad25 would kill them financially.
~Releasing Michaels posthumous albums as Disc one being remixes, and disc 2 being untouched demos....would kill them financially, and we will have LESS material for the future. Why people STILL insist this occur, I can't fathom.
~Releasing MJ's unfinished tracks is tricky business. A Duet album would be nice for tracks that have a chorus and one verse by Michael...not a finished track like STTR. Even though the Bieber thing is unofficial.....that was wrong. Its a good example how people would react to having a complete MJ Rock genre track from 1989 remixed and released by someone MJ didn't know.
With talk of Timbaland producing an MJ album, the thought again emerges of..."he didn't know MJ. MJ didn't know him. have someone that knew MJ work on the project."
It would be nice of the person KNEW Michael. However, Teddy Riley, Eddie Cascio, Akon, and Lenny Kravitz knew Michael....how did their mixes turn out on the Michael album?
I am ALL for Timbaland producing the next album, in fact in excited. He did well with JT's recent project (may I remind you all, JT looks up to MJ). And if Michael Durham Prince, and Brad Buxer are along for the ride...I bet the next album would be killer.
So, can we all just make these posthumous releases the best they can be. For NEW fans, for positive atmosphere and great MJ releases. We only have so much material left, and it would be a shame if everyone was up in arms on every single release. We WILL get the material untouched one day. Maybe not now, or in ten years. But we will.
If we can wait 9 years for the follow up to Invincible, im sure being spoon feed material, will hold us off long enough to listen to untouched magic.
