I refuse to listen to that MJ album, such a ridiculous thing to do.
I hope they don't do the same with Madead.
I don't want to hear it either. If I outlive my fave I don't need to hear all the tracks that he rejected and consciously shielded from the public.
It's like my other fave Darren said
Quote:
I have endless hard drives filled with half-finished songs. They’re half-finished for a reason. I abandoned them for one reason or another. Maybe they went in a direction I didn’t like, maybe I gave up – but upon revisiting them, without question I can see why the songs were never completed. They just weren’t what I wanted to present to the world. Other people might disagree but it’s my right, as the creator of those works, to decide. My friends and family know precisely how I feel on the matter too! After Michael Jackson’s death I made specific provisions in my own will to state clearly that if something had not been released in my lifetime, it was my express desire that it be destroyed. My family respects those wishes.
In the case of Michael Jackson songs released after his death the moral conundrum is complex. Since he left no specific instruction, all we have to go on is his past history. I don’t think it’s too much to assume given Michael’s history of over-recording for albums that his unfinished works were not intended for public consumption yet.
