According to the journalists.
They can't think for the mainstream public.

It's his opinion.
Another radio broadcaster said last week that "A Place With No Name" was the most radio-friendly song.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
Not even "according to the journalists" just according to ONE journalist. And he says one of them is LNFSG which totally contradicts the reviews which called it one of the weakest tracks. Also another reviewer just yesterday called Xscape one of the weaker tracks as well. Now this one calls it one of the strongest.These are just opinions based on personal taste and it's already clear that those opinions and tastes by the reviewers can differ very much.

The new mix of LNFSG better be good. I hope it's not the lead single just to please Anka because of some kind of agreement.
Epic Records pays Timbaland to be the main producer and 'to create hits', then releases "Love Never Felt So Good" as lead single?

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
It was clear that Xscape had always been the original title of the song, especially taking the album title into consideration on the cover *Michael's Handwriting*!! Considering the listening party in New York last night, that could very well be the last one there is.. I am hoping that a tracklisting is revealed either today or tomorrow! excitement is getting too much, Michael is gonna rock the world once more.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
Haters or MJ's very own boycotter "fans". I would not put it past them.
Anyone giving out ratings to an album nobody heard yet is obviously doing so because of bias (no matter what the rating is).
Please go to iTunes and rate Xscape 5 stars. - Haters have begun to rate it 1 star - and it looks very bad...
5 stars to MJ !!!

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
There are some "fans" who actually rate it 1 star! - I mean fair enough if they do not support the release, but why actively destroy it???
Some fans are just crazy....

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
Yes, unfortunately some of MJ's own "fans" are his worst enemies.
The success of this album will depend on whether it can cross over to the general public, not on ratings given out by people who never even heard the album. And the singles will be very important in that.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
Unfortunately some people think these releases are harming his legacy and by ruining them they hope no more will be released. This is not my opinion and I am looking forward to the release. I am confused that people on this board are saying what they think will be the best or worst single without having heard the remixes yet. A fan favourite could be ruined, equally a track considered weak might be remixed to make it the strongest on the album.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
They were going to boycott this album and Sony by buying Invincible:scratch:
I'm not sure how that was going to hurt Sony or the estate :cheeky:
Anyways, I was going to buy only 1 album, but I think I'm joining in the group that buys other one on boycotters name. I haven't decided whose name will be on my extra copy
------------------------------
Hopefully songs gets plenty of radio play, then it doesn't matter what people write as reviews, and by looking at those few reviews that are posted in iTunes, they are about same ol' rant about MJ not wanting to release these songs, and will not stop people buying if they so decide.

I am soo into XSCAPE (the song) right now! Listen to the lyrics! Like he recorded it yesterday. Sounds autobiographical to me.
Especially the bridge...

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
I'd like those boycotters to point it out to me when was MJ ever happy about any of his records flopping? Even when he had a conflict with Sony that did not mean he wanted Invincible to flop just to stick it to Sony. So this boycott thing is not too smart IMO. Especially with campaigns like you mentioned - to buy a copy of Invincible instead. How does that punish Sony/The Estate? LOL. And if they decide not to buy any MJ record ever again (and that should include MJ's old albums as well in case of a real boycott) they'd only punish MJ with that, not Sony who have a lot of other artists besides MJ to build on.
