...What about Just Good Friends with Stevie Wonder? The Girl Is Mine with Paul McCartney? :mello:

Or Hold My Hand with Akon.

No, it is the contemporized/modern version on the first disc, demo and version with JT on second disc, if I'm reading that correctly.

But from midnight you can only download the original demo and the JT duet... not the contemporized solo?

I love Justin Timberlake, he's an absolutely awesome guy. But why invite a male artist to sing a love duet with MJ? I mean... Sure, you can do that, but knowing Michael, he would have collaborated with a female artist on a song like this.

Hold My Hand is a love song too.

This is as bad as Breaking News apparently. Some fans really do crack me up. Can't wait for the new music, MJ is on top again!

There is no second disc. Second disc is DVD.

IT'S BUILDING!! :clap:
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Jt fans are so positive about this. News is spreading big time. With a great performance or whatever at iheart this is epic promotion for the new album. And in the end isn't it positive that more people will be turned on to mjs new album

For those who just mentioned breaking news, can you still remember the build up to that stream? What was it like? As soon as people all played the stream simultaneously around the world was this forum blowing up?
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

surely there's some snippets on the way, with the tracklisting being officially confirmed by the estate? expecting it tomorrow or when lnfsg is released!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I'm still amazed at how much that clip that Snoop Dogg posted sounds like Michael. It's uncanny.

I think it'll be so exciting! I love JT and I'm really interested to see/hear this :woohoo:

When you listen to the full song on YT it's not so much like MJ any more. It's a female singing on it.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

That's a very good point, no one wrote about it on their reviews. Or weren't they allowed to talk about it? I really, really hope it's just a rumor.

I'm sure somebody already responded, but I will again. It is a BONUS track. They did not play bonus tracks to the listening parties.

And I am not a fan of JT but he is better than JB and he is somewhat talented and popular these days so if it helps promote the album why not?

Yeah that's what makes it so weird. The full song sounds nothing like MJ, but that little 9 second clip.. I swear i would have believed it was MJ if nobody told me otherwise. Or hey let's not give anyone any ideas....

A couple of more hours then we are seeeeeeeeet! LET'S DO THIS! :D:D
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I've been one day off this thread (meaning one day less stupidity in this thread) and as I expected (surprise, surprise) I see endless negativity instead of cheering. Endless subjectivity regarding Paul Anka, Justin Timberlake, remixes, bonuses, not enough of this, too much of that, And all that even before we have heard the album.

Now, as far as I am concerned, I never listen to Paul McCartney, I don't really like Mick Jagger's style of music nor voice, I don't listen to Britney Spears, nor do I listen to Santana, and the list goes down. But hey, I know a guy who did duets with all those singers! For God's sake, Michael Jackson appeared on two, wait let me repeat, not one, TWO Eddie Murphy's songs! And yet, all that was ok I guess. I found it enriching, amusing, interesting,... that was the magic of chemistry and the wizard - Michael Jackson.

Unfortunately Michael Jackson is DEAD, and as such he can't perform, approve/disapprove or bless projects. Nevertheless, we can follow his steps - be demanding - but not be as demanding as he was alive.

This Xscape project is pure blessing for fans. The duets or collaborations are done with professionals and, above all, with people who admired Michael Jackson (well at least we can hope that). We have two discs: modernized (for fans who want modern music) and untouched (for fans who want to dive into MJ's creating process).

As far as love for MJ or financial interest are concerend, we will never really know who is there for the money and who for love when it comes to MJ's projects. MJ himself couldn't really trust anyone.

Now, I'll stay polite, but my question to all of us is what the f... hell do we want?

Let's wait till the product gets released, then let's fairly assess it by taking into account one important, unfortuante and undeniable fact: Michael Jackson is dead and someone must take decisions for the releases or else there won't be any of them any more.

And, finally, honestly, I prefer reading people kidding around while waiting for the new album to come out than reading hundreds of pages with same posts over and over again leading to bickering and divisions over a mountain of nothing.

A thread where people ask me not to joke around (without harming anyone really) is like asking Michael Jackson not to moonwalk while performing Billie Jean live, emphasizing that the moonwalk is not in the music video, hence is off-topic.

One more thing guys, I keep on smiling and send you all my love :naughty:
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

...What about Just Good Friends with Stevie Wonder? The Girl Is Mine with Paul McCartney? :mello:

Neither of those are classic love ballads where the singer is confessing his love to a woman.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

It's pathetic to compare the two in my opinion.

And very ungrateful and disrespectful. Shame on whoever did that.

People were going NUTS from excitement... and immediately after the song went live, all hell erupted. People were so confused, angry, outraged, ... It was quite the drama. I remember it vividly how I went from utter excitement to complete bewilderment within seconds of hearing that horrid goatman singing on an MJ song.

Aaaaanyway... Let's get on topic. :p
