There seems to be a trend lately with albums only being about ten tracks long. I don't know about you but I feel a little "gypped." Huge artists like Michael Jackson, Prince and any number of others have a vault full of unpublished songs. So why only ten tracks for this album? My second gripe is that "Hold My Hand" is too generic. Mr. Jackson has never made a generic track so why start now? I'm sure he had nothing to do with that. All the other tracks are pretty much in classic MJ style from his personal brand of beat boxing to subject matter about the media and soulful lyrics. If you like Michael Jackson's material from the past fifteen years or so, you will at least like this album. I love it...I just wish it were longer.
MICHAEL THE ALBUM 2010 This is probably my most favorite album in a long time- and believe me, I have listened to everything as its part of our business. This brand new 2010 Michael Jackson studio album includes a collection of songs that were previously unreleased except for "I Like The Way You Love Me" which appeared in Michael Jackson's The Ultimate Collection in its original version (this new album contains a new mix giving the song a very romantic love ballad flavor). This album contains a very diverse tracklisting which is both modern and spicy and I dare to say, even sexy in a subtle tasteful way. Listening to the tracks one by one will take you to an adventurous journey of vintage and modern Michael. No two tracks sound the same and keeps the listening experience very exciting. You wont be skipping any song in this album-- that I guarantee. Curiously, the album is very cohesive and tight- like its telling a story. Listening to it will surely make anyone, young and old dance and sing at the same time- thanks to the included booklet of lyrics with stories and personal handwritten notes from the King of Pop. The highlight of this album are the dance tracks: Behind The Mask, Monster and Hollywood Tonight plus the romantic ballad Best Of Joy and Inspirational ode Keep Your Head Up. This entire collection is a winner and a must-have for everyone- whether you are a fan or a casual listener, you will surely enjoy this album.Read full review
Why or Howdid tis so called 50 cent get on the album?? What a joke and a mess. Michael does not need a Rapper in his music.The other tracksare classic mike though and Akon sings great with MJ on "Hold my hand" this is well worh the price. What ever happened to good music, Now it's Lady Gaga and 50 cent, such crap is out there. Bee Gees, and groups like The Temptaions are sure missed by me and Im sure a lot of others. And Michael..........R I P
Other than the song I want to hold your hand, that they play on the radio and now have video for. that it took a while for me to warm up to. I start to like it after I saw the video a couple of times. I can't really get into the rest of the Cd. Maybe if Michael was alive to promote the other songs, the cd would be more enjoyable to listen to. But something seems fake about it, and the songs just sound familiar like I heard that before. Nothing new or exciting. some songs sound like typical michael. since it is supposedly his last cd made. Maybe it will become a collectable. Or maybe I will enjoy it in the future. It was an Okay cd. Not super great, but not bad or horrible. Just not exciting. Sounds like all his other songs.
I loved the superb artistry of the songs in Michael Jackson latest released CD entitled "Michael". We have lost a great talent who shone like the stars in the heavens above ... but Heaven has now gotten him! The entrancing melodies, harmonies, and arrangements...and the singular captivating and beautiful words are like a gift from the gods (or demi-gods), using classical mythology as a base for this analogy....Thank you very much, Michael Jackson, for your presence on the Earth while you were here, and for your beautiful music, dance, and complete superlative artistry!!!!! Love, from Rosanne Sbrigata, and from all of your fans around the world!
Michael Jackson's last album which may be the greatest duet of all time with Akon.
