I think it's different either for each country, or for each page load or something like that. I had some hip-hop artist earlier, now it's Tracy Morgan.

Theres an ad for the album on the German Amazon website (the cover of the CD) :) You have to move the cursor on the "MP3 & Cloud Player" link in the list on the left.

http://www.amazon.de/
Can anyone confirm this? You can hear snippets?
 
Just read this article:

http://m.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de...ape.f0314821-6c7c-4916-ad8f-87dc7ad2f387.html

"Begeisterung machte sich unter den Ersthörern im Bayerischen Hof breit - aber auch einzelne kritische Stimmen, die einige Songs für „überproduziert“ hielten, zu künstlich."

Translation:
"Enthusiasm made his mark among the pre-listeners of the Bayrischen Hof, as well as individual critical voices, who held some songs for too "overproduced", according to them, there were too artificial.


Maybe a hint of the using of auto tune?

its a shame that in quite a few reviews there is mention of the songs being overproduced. was really worried it would happen.

Hey guys, as we await any new info on Xscape in anticipation, I have a pretty random question that was on my mind..do we know if there was any reason behind the particular order of songs on History disc 1 (the greatest disc)? I was quite curious. Seems very random to me..

Don't worry. The negative reviews are a mere drop in the ocean compared to the incredible reception the album has received so far. Even when Michael was with us, his albums sometimes got bad reviews.

There WILL be a lot of production on this album - after all, turning LNFSG into one of the strongest songs would have required that. But the main thing is that the general impression of most who have listened to the album is that Michael, and Michael's incredible voice is at the very centre of the songs.

2000 Watts, this will not be.

And what is the problem if they use auto-tune ??? what i saw on reviews is people talking about robotic effects (it can be on instruments btw) or vocoder (MJ used it on the way that you love me on 2004) and auto-tune can be used in so many different ways (not just the ugly T-pain style for people who can't sing)

As long his vocals are sounding natural...
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

It seems as more time goes by without any official news, the more people are willing to pick things apart created by their own boredom.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

His voice was and will always be natural mate (today you criticize auto tune tomorrow we will talk about compression, Eq, Verb ...) let the producers and mixers do their jobs lol
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Wonderful promotion, is this awards show on NBC viewed by many people? I'm intrigued to see if this will get the album more attention & sales! Especially if it's Chicago or Loving' You! I am hoping there will be a live stream for people in other countries to view this event! #Xscape Draws Ever closer! Extremely excited.

NBC is one of the top three TV networks here in the US, along with ABC & CBS. My guess is it will be seen by millions. And yes, it will stream for others around the world to listen to/watch:

The iHeartRadio Music Awards air live from Los Angeles May 1st on NBC. The show, which will feature performances from other Los Angeles venues, will also broadcast and stream live across all participating Clear Channel radio stations and their websites, and on iHeartRadio.

You can read the rest of the article here: http://news.iheart.com/articles/iheartradio-music-awards-483670/just-announced-iheartradio-mus-12100537/
 
I think after whatever song is premiered on the iHeart awards, thats when the promotion begins, including tracklisting and single release date etc…
They won't be premiering this at an awards show for nothing to happen after. <object type="cosymantecnisbfw" cotype="cs" id="SILOBFWOBJECTID" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block;"></object>

Interlude.

I hope there isn't any autotune or its either used just to tweak ever so slightly, or used artistically. Either way I think its a bit of a risk to make it blatant knowing the original demos are being released aswell, will stick out like a sore thumb comparing the 2 versions.
