We've Had Enough is one of my most favourite Michael Jackson songs. It is crafted so wonderfully through its epic build up - only comparable to Earth Song. However, as we know it was never released on a studio album and instead popped up on The Ultimate Collection.
Many people blame the producers/Michael for not putting it on Invincible; and state that it was a matter of poor song selection. Whilst the song is indeed very good, I feel its topic and the issue it was addressing is unlike ANY other Michael Jackson song ever recorded. I honestly think it was down to the political nature of the song that discouraged it from ever being formally released. The beauty of Michael Jackson songs are that they often have a very universal appeal - anyone can hear a song of his and relate to it. This song was a rarity in that it didn't have that wide spread appeal and may have been too politically charged to suit a studio album of his.
What do you think the real reason was?
