I love the album. My faves Chicago, Blue Gangsta and XSCAPE.

I haven't bought the physical thing but I saw photos and stuffs and I'm very disappointed with the bonus dvd. I really don't understand...they have plenty of never seen before studio footage. should I care what L.A. Reid & co. think about it?


and I forgot... "DOCUMENTARY OUTTAKES"... I really can't.

I'm not a die-hard fan, so I could be in the wrong, but sometimes, I feel like the producers hired an MJ impersonator. You know, like a Britney/Myah Marie situation.

[Fredrik]

^ It's him.



Some songs leaked even before his death ("Blue Gangsta" and "Xscape").

They seem scared... lol.

Chicago slays my life!

[Fredrik]

Waiting... I want "Xscape" at #1 on US iTunes, although I know MJ's physical sales are bigger.

[Fredrik]

52 countries are quite enough... I just want one more: USA. Just one.

Why you want to give money to Michael's enemy Sony? I hope they flop.

This album is 100% him. Michael is a different story...

These tracks have been around for ages...

Just the vocals, aside from the JT remix (obviously) and the original mixes (which are, of course, the original demos).

Well... Here's an interesting article about this:

(...)
2) Some believe we shouldn’t support Sony
Michael had a well documented fall out with his record company in 2002. However, his anger was towards the then Chairman CEO Tommy Mottola. Mottola left the company in 2003 and Michael signed a new contract with Sony in 2008 to release ‘Thriller 25.’ This clearly shows that Michael was at peace with Sony and was happy to work with them. If Michael was happy, we should be happy.

Based on...?

His contract ended with the several compilations released til 2005, then he signed a new contract to release "Thriller 25th" and "King Of Pop". That's a fact.

Some people were never in the market for MJ material making up fake excuses and denying facts. I remember when Thriller 25 came out. They played BEP remixes on the radio etc...

Terrific album just wish Michael were here to approve it

Still, he re-signed the contract.

Plus, 2001 - 2008 - 2014... they're all different times. LA Reid is ahead of "Xscape", and he was a personal friend of MJ - and the co-writer of "Slave To The Rhythm".

Let's not forget Sony paid for the most expensive album promotion ever... "HIStory", in 1995.

LA Reid was invited to work as producer in MJ's new album, which never happened for the reason we already know...

[Fredrik]

I can't at fans trying to downgrade MJ's legacy. It's annoying.

The world wants to see MJ back to the top, and he deverses that! It's somekind of a tribute, showing that he's still the one after all these years.

***

I don't see people complaing about Beatles, Elvis, Hendrix... their fans seem to care about their success more than MJ's fans. Too bad.

However, people need to realize that music is business. Someone'll be paid for other's success no matter they're alive or not. MJ's music made dozens of people rich over the decades... but that doesn't mean he/his family won't get anything.

Actually, Sony paid US$ 250mi for his archives and MJ's Estate will also get royalties for "Xscape" sales. So... COME ON!

Im just saying its hard to convince people to buy something they arent in the market for.
