Rewinding Michael Jackson

[laurie_hammy]

What parts of Michael's songs do you always seem to want to rewind to an listen again ?

For me lately its been what my signature say, im always rewinding to that. Also in Black or White as soon as the rap verse finish's an it goes into "DONT TELL ME YOU AGREE WITH ME, WHEN I SAW YA KICKIN DIRTY IN MY EYE !". I love that part so much, so much energy ! Also the chorus on Another Part Of Me is great as well.

[Ta-mir]

mine is from is it scary

"and if you wanna see eccentric oddities.. i'll be grotesque before your eyes"

&

"but if you came to see .. the truth .. the purity ...

it's here inside a lonely heart

so let the performance start ... "

i love those parts and i rewind them a lot when i listen to the song :yes:

[prismsagainst5live]

oooo I rewind all the above especially the YEAH in TDCAU. I also love the " Parasite in black and white" cos of the way he pronouces white. Also " With your pen you torture men" and "Anythang for news" so I pretty much love tabloid junkie lol

[arXter]

cool thread - i'm a chronic rewinder http://www.bbc.co.uk/606/2/refresh/images/smileys/f_smiley.gif

ones that immediately came to mind:


Break Of Dawn: the bridge (and build up to it) - "Let's not wait, the sun is out.."

Remember The Time video version: the dance break fill (alternate drums)

She Drives Me Wild: the music when the rapper comes in - the walking bass is priceless

Morphine: Demerol passage.

All I Do Is Think Of You: love the intro

Be Not Always: "Mother's cry, babies die.." bridge - haunting cello line

Heartbreak Hotel (Live) - when Michael and the backing do the "hoo hoo" call and response

i'm sure there are more...

[Kinga]

I'm a chronic rewinder, too! :cheeky:

I do it mostly with his videos.

Man in the mirror from Moonwalker!!! :lol: I used to rewind it at least 15 or 20 times when I was a teenager... :blush:

Smooth criminal, for sure :cheeky:

Speed demon - dance part at the end :wub:

Another part of me, TWYMMF, TDCAU prison version

Stranger in Moscow - making of :wub:

anything relating Bad era (concerts, footages, etc.)

I just can't stop loving you - speaking intro

montages by Bigdb or Malc Jennings, etc.

any kind of concert footage I find really amazing, sexy, exceptional, etc.

[BPYTD]

Remember The Time video version: the dance break fill (alternate drums)
I have rewinded that a zillion times!

Are theres lots but lemmie think of a few
Dangerous the 1995 performance I can watch the entire performance over and over again

What more can I give - The parts where Mike starts singing essecially the "over and over again"

The adlibs near the end of Dangerous

A tiny part of the adlibs at the end of 'In the Closet' I think it says "break it down" or something :lol:

Sometimes that 'Demerol' part in morphine

Streetwalker "Why don't you give me some time, wont you gimmie some time" lines

Your are not alone - "You are always in my heart" that line I loved it lol

Oh and some parts in Liberian Girl

Speed Demon - Speed Demon, You're The
Very Same One
Who Said The Future's In
Your Hands
The Life You Save Could Be
Your Own
You're Preachin' 'Bout My
Life Like You're The Law
Gonna Live Each Day And
Hour Like
For Me There's No Tomorrow

Heaven Can wait - Towards the end it pauses then he comes back shouting noooo or whatever lol

Butterflies - "All you gotta do is just walk away and pass me by" "I caress you, let you taste us, just so blissful listen I would give you anything baby, just make my dreams come true"

Is it scary - The entire song lol. And I really love the "Don’t wanna talk about it
I don’t wanna talk about it" towards the end


Theres some more but off the top of my head I cant really remember.
no all of these are neccessarily rewinding all the time but main what I LOVE hearing. I have rewinded them sometimes though lol

[laurie_hammy]

I also love as soon as the beat drops in "Who Is It". I always rewind to that part and as soon as it drops try to beatbox it like Michael does on Oprah.

[laurenjayne]

mine is from is it scary

"and if you wanna see eccentric oddities.. i'll be grotesque before your eyes"

&

"but if you came to see .. the truth .. the purity ...

i love those parts and i rewind them a lot when i listen to the song :yes:


i love those parts, my favourite of the song :D i also love from Dont Walk Away

'and why, all our dreams are broken, i dont know where we're going, and everything begins to set us free, cant you see i dont wanna walk away' :clapping: i love it!!!

[browneyedgirl]

I'm not too big on rewinding, but the part in Can't Let Her Get Away where... Here, I'll just use the song.

<object height="344" width="425">

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9S3OG7H2gXY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></object>

From 3:23 to 3:38

I just can not listen to the song without repeating that part over and over again, lol.

[144,000]

lol...don't get me started.

[BONGANI]

ones that immediately came to mind:





Heartbreak Hotel (Live) - when Michael and the backing do the "hoo hoo" call and response

...
Man! I love that part, look at the fire in his eyes.. he does it for longer on the BAD Tour!!

[wannabestartinsomthin21]

I don't really rewind Michael's song cause I want to let the song finish, lol. But I'm constantly rewinding video of him dancing, lol.

[prismsagainst5live]

Oooo thought of loads more:

Stranger in moscow : " Take my name and just let me be" and the whole last minute.

Destiny: " I look to greet the stars but there's no stars to see"

Wanna be startin somthin: The whole vegetable part and " If you can't feed your baby then don't have a baby" and the end verse.

Lady in my life: " I want you to stay with meeeeeeeeeeee" then " I need you by my siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide" and all the sexy ad libs.:wub:

I reckon everyone rewinds first verse of hold my hand lol !

With performances I love the spin at the end of wanna be startin somethin BAD tour and another part of me in paris.

[MJsPYT1]

Oooo thought of loads more:


Destiny: " I look to greet the stars but there's no stars to see"

I agree with all of the above :yes:
Oh and browneyedgirl, I loooooooove that part of 'can't let her get away' too!!!!!

I love to rewind the ad libs from the dangerous tour at the end of IJCSLY!!!

And from 'get on the floor' I looove the end part starting with
'get up, won't you gon' get down....'
and whe he says
'and I sure would like just to groove with you'


there are millions more! lets just say that i,too, have joined the 'chronic rewinders' lol

[L&L=L.O.V.E.]

Thriller the short film, when Michael showing his big white eyes, It's just a second before the dance with all the zombies behind him.

Heaven Can Wait- At the beginning from the song, when he sings: ''Tell the angels no''.

And ofcourse the bridge from For all time.

[ForeverBeInPeaceMichael]

i know it ain't a song but its my fav!

his laughter during the phone call to fans in LONDON! :wub: :heart:

[mjjfan94]

I would love to hear "Cry" it gets 2 me :(

Somebody shakes when the wind blows
Somebody’s missing a friend (Hold on)
Somebody’s lacking a hero
And they have not a clue when it’s all gonna end again

Stories buried and untold
Someone is hiding the truth (Hold on)
When will this mystery unfold
And will the sun ever shine
In the blind mans eyes when he cries

[prismsagainst5live]

^ ooo i love cry, i always rewind the last 2 minutes from when the choir kicks in to the end, it's so emotional. Abd I love the way he says " change the world" right at the end.:wub:

[arXter]

just thought of another; in Fall Again where Michael uses the "cool" vocal effect at the end. i always want to know exactly what it is that makes that phasing effect.

[laurenjayne]

^ i love that too, it sounds really cool :D

[giddyup87]

just thought of another; in Fall Again where Michael uses the "cool" vocal effect at the end. i always want to know exactly what it is that makes that phasing effect.

i think that's just his voice.. no effects.

[arXter]

no that's definitely an effect - in the fade-out of the Glenn Lewis version, it's used on his voice also.

[TillitsGone]

Money... the part where he says "cuz they're da back stabbers" and the beat drops and you just here the snaps. And around the end of the song where he goes, "money, money, money, AOW!!!" Makes the hair in the back of my neck stand up! :stretcher:

[analogue]

Will You Be There - The part where MJ sings ''But they told me, i ment to be faithfull''
Smooth Criminal - The part after when the guy says ''Ok i want everyone to clear the area right now''
Who Is It - The keyboard section in the middle of the song

[prismsagainst5live]

Smooth Criminal - The part after when the guy says ''Ok i want everyone to clear the area right now''


Yeh I luuve that whole dance part of the song. And I love the dance that goes with it.:yes:

[Nighty]

no that's definitely an effect - in the fade-out of the Glenn Lewis version, it's used on his voice also.

Are you talking about the sound that Mike imitates right after you hear it play and states that he likes that sound and that it sounds cool, or are you refering to something else?


Have to add that I always tend to rewind the falsetto part in Speed Demon, killer bassline with great vocals...

[MichaelJManson]

We've Had Enough - 'Deep in your soul let God decide, His love's the reason I'm still alive'
Smooth Criminal - The 'I don't know' and 'dad gone it, Annie' section

[arXter]

another one to add: Do What You Wanna - Mike's ad libs are priceless there; scattered around but rewindable http://www.bbc.co.uk/606/2/refresh/images/smileys/f_smiley.gif


Are you talking about the sound that Mike imitates right after you hear it play and states that he likes that sound and that it sounds cool, or are you refering to something else?
yeah that's the sound, although i always thought it was a vox phasing process but listening to it again has made me unsure now because of the natural-sounding reverb when he did it.

[friend]

In you are not alone when he says "i can hear your prayers"

in GITM when his voice does that dip on the word "say" when he's singing "simply do the things I say"

many others but those two i have to back up and rewind often

[michaeljacksonmyhero]

In Scream i keep rewinding the part were he says just stop f*cking with me. cuz i can't imagine Michael cursing!

[Bishop31]

Smooth Criminal - That part at the end "..Dagonnit baby!..woo wooo!"

In The Closet - The intro..then the first line "..she just a lover." That part is so hot!

PYT(demo) - That part at the end "..my girl..my girl". His falsetto is flawless.

[Cruzin247]

In This Time Around: The part towards the end where he says "Control this here"
Thriller: the part from "Night creatures call" to "This is the end of your life" and when the bass comes back in
Keep the Faith: Where Michael goes into a falsetto as he's saying "And you can saaay the words..."
SDMW: The rap break where Michael keeps saying "uh huh"

Videos
Bad: the end "Whos bad?" back and forth thing Michael and his crew does.
Beat it from Dangerous Tour Bucharest: the beginning becuase I still can't tell if he's cursing or not :lol:
RTT: The dance break
Billie Jean live: The ending dance break when they turn the lights down and put the spotlight on Michael.
Speed Demon: The dance off with Spike lol
Scream: The part after Janet says "I think I might go insane" and Michael does that spin

[mjtributepage]

i know it ain't a song but its my fav!

his laughter during the phone call to fans in LONDON! :wub: :heart:where can i hear that

[PurdyYungThang84]

Morphine: Demerol passage.

Co-sign B), that's a great one.

I always loved the ending breakdown of In The Closet; I'd listen to that one over and over, whooo lol.

[prismsagainst5live]

where can i hear that

On youtube. The devon party thing:)

[analogue]

I always rewind the part during the short film of Smooth Criminal when MJ and his backup dancers say ''So Annie are you ok?. ANNIE ARE YOU OK?!!'' and then it bursts into the big dance routine

[BONGANI]

I always rewind the part during the short film of Smooth Criminal when MJ and his backup dancers say ''So Annie are you ok?. ANNIE ARE YOU OK?!!'' and then it bursts into the big dance routine
I am so crazy about that part, Michael looks like he is holding his fire inside, until it just bursts out and he says "So annie are you ok"! Throws his hat back on his head and they just lauch into that dance sequence! I probably rewind that part tens times more than you do!

[Kinga]

I always rewind the part during the short film of Smooth Criminal when MJ and his backup dancers say ''So Annie are you ok?. ANNIE ARE YOU OK?!!'' and then it bursts into the big dance routine

That's funny because I don't like that part at all. I always skip it...:scratch:I do understand its meaning and what message he would like to tell us, but still I find it boring and unnatural. The only part I like when he puts his hat on - finally :cheeky: - and they burst into dance.

[analogue]

That's the bit i was talking about. When MJ puts on his hat and burts into the dance

[MJsPYT1]

PYT(demo) - That part at the end "..my girl..my girl". His falsetto is flawless.


OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! :yes: looove that part! *sigh* just thinking about it makes me ...*sigh* lol!!!:wub:

[laurenjayne]

I always rewind the part during the short film of Smooth Criminal when MJ and his backup dancers say ''So Annie are you ok?. ANNIE ARE YOU OK?!!'' and then it bursts into the big dance routine

oooh i love that part too :D

[analogue]

Lately i've always been rewinding the part in Heartbreaker where MJ sings ''I never thought that i would stop dreamin about you, stop being with you''

I love the vocal melody with that

[Mystic]

Lately i've always been rewinding the part in Heartbreaker where MJ sings ''I never thought that i would stop dreamin about you, stop being with you''

I love the vocal melody with that

I thought it was "dreamin about you, stop being about you"

Dance scene from RTT.

[arXter]

bump..

the ending instrumental break from Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough. i could cut it and loop it all day long. one of the best rhythmic pieces of all time!

[giddyup87]

'Human Nature' (http://www.box.net/shared/blaktfr8cj) at the chorus.

[Stargirl]

These days it's
' They print my message in the saturday sun
I had to tell 'em I ain't second to none '
from BLACK OR WHITE :yes:

[giddyup87]

These days it's
' They print my message in the saturday sun
I had to tell 'em I ain't second to none '
from BLACK OR WHITE :yes:

i prefer "boy is that girl with you"

the way he sings it is brilliant.


Or in 'Stranger In Moscow'

"oh then a begger boy" ...........too good, never dull.

[Cinnamon234]

These days it's
' They print my message in the saturday sun
I had to tell 'em I ain't second to none '
from BLACK OR WHITE :yes:

Ah, I was gonna say that. That's my fave part of the song. It's badass (and true too) haaha. I also love in "Black or White" when he sings:

I Ain't Scared Of
Your Brotha
I Ain't Scared Of No Sheets
I Ain't Scare Of Nobody
Girl When The
Goin' Gets Mean...

[Stargirl]

i prefer "boy is that girl with you"

I Ain't Scared Of
Your Brotha

I Ain't Scare Of Nobody
Girl When The

All the parts in Black Or White are just great. You want to just put the entire song on rewind and keep listenin till you get enough. Which you never do of course. ;)

[IvoryKeys]

This has probably already been said, but in the beginning of RTT when he's laughing and goes: I don't know, what'chu wanna try? Every time you see...
I loooove that part for some strange reason!

Also on Threatened near the end when they keep doing the chorus over and over again. This section is the part when they digitally mess with his voice and chop it up. Love that part too!

[egi]

The Lost Children:
Home with their fathers,
Snug close and warm, loving their mothers
I see the door simply wide open
But no one can find theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[katrine]

I love rewinding at the end of whenever happens when he and santana are saying thanks to each other, for some reason gives me the giggles..
Thank you mike
No Thanks youuuuu santana :)

Also the angry part in Earth song especially the elephant section LOOOVE it!!

[michaelsson]

they follow the pattern... -Man in the mirror

the way he says pattern its just so awesome, if u really listen 2it,u will see what i mean. its amazing

[giddyup87]

they follow the pattern... -Man in the mirror

the way he says pattern its just so awesome, if u really listen 2it,u will see what i mean. its amazing

yeah the way the verses are sung on that song is perfection, imo.

best vocal performance ever recorded in terms of emotion, style and technique.

i might have a slight bias though :P

[Mystic]

Just depends on the day. For example...

In This Time Around I usually listen to Biggie over and over.

In YRMW I listen to the instrumentation at the end a lot.

In Threatened I love to listen to the chorus, especially the changed part at the end with the auto-tune(?).

In Privacy, I tend to listen to the "One of my friends" verse a lot. Pretty powerful.

[arXter]

"money makes the world go 'round, money makes the world go 'round, money makes the world go 'round, money makes the world go 'round. money makes the world go 'round, money makes the world go 'round, money makes the world go 'round, money makes the world go 'round. money makes the world go 'round, money makes the world go 'round, money makes the world go 'round, money makes the world go 'round. money makes the world go 'round, money makes the world go 'round, money makes the world go 'round, money makes the world go 'round."

those 16 bars ^.^

[MJ~And~Me]

honestly it depends on what mood im in.

[michaelsson]

lololololol,no such thing as be biased hahahahaha

[mjfan4ever2009]

Also on Threatened near the end when they keep doing the chorus over and over again. This section is the part when they digitally mess with his voice and chop it up. Love that part too!


Me too. I've played that for some people and they're floored when I tell them it's Michael. Some of them aren't even fans to begin with and they love it. Because after they hear that, they ask me to play the whole album. And they say they are going to buy a copy of it too.

[giddyup87]

"she out of my life" on the jacksons live CD.

when he sings " i kept my love for her" near the end.

[HumanNature]

"Wanna see an exhibitiooooooooooon a-HEE!!!"

Love that!:D

[L&L=L.O.V.E.]

this part from you are not alone (although this is an live version:P)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQTj5OzQMy8&feature=channel_page

When he sings' heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart' :P

[giddyup87]

Who Is It
both last verse lines

"tell me what will i do"

"but see what will i do"

[giddyup87]

last word sung on "Smile"

if you just 'smile'

that one word, the way he sings it..... with the arrangement behind him... it's beautiful, depressing, uplifting at the same time (if that's possible).

[jayjackson]

The first verse of Keep The Faith, always gives me chill :wub:

Bad, "Your throwin' stones to hide your hands"

Speechless "Words like.. like... I love you"

Get on the floor "Get up, won't you gon' get down"

For all time "And if you feel alone, Ill be your shoulder"

Tabloid Junkie the very end "Your so damn disrespectable"

Also the beginning of the Human Nature performances where his doing the beat box "Chu chu chu chu chu chu" .. lol, you can't really describe how it sounds :lol:

[jayjackson]

Money... the part where he says "cuz they're da back stabbers" and the beat drops and you just here the snaps.

I loove that part!!!

[Pentum]

this part from you are not alone (although this is an live version:P)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQTj5OzQMy8&feature=channel_page

When he sings' heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart' :P

Just like me! I also try do sing like him, but it gets all wrong and my voice starts squiking, hahaha

[Em_Mj]

This isn't a song, but I rewind it so much ;)

The 1995 MTV Video Music Awards Performance
before he performs Dangerous
that MINI SPEECH...
BUT ESPECIALLY THIS BIT

For those of us who like to live dangerously...THIS ONES FOR YOU! (he has this amazing swagger to the way he says it)
*runs off*
*guns*
MJ, "the way she came in to the place"
it's all too much, i can't bear it :lol:

OH MY GOD, i love that part, my favourite part of the WHOLE performance
just the way he goes
THIS ONES FOR YOUUUUUUU :wub:
:D

[BONGANI]

I know exactly what you mean, MJ does have his swagger moments. At the THIS IS IT press conferance, did any one notice the false exit, just when he turns to go, he stops right infront of the curtain ,turns around and gives a heroic, almost arrogant pose. Am I the only one who saw that?

[MJsPYT1]

PYT(demo) - That part at the end "..my girl..my girl". His falsetto is flawless.
Had to say again how much I loooove this song :wub:

I looooooooove the music to this song!!!!!!!!!!!:punk:


'Human Nature' (http://www.box.net/shared/blaktfr8cj) at the chorus.
I could never get tired of this song- Its so beautiful...actually I never get tired of Thriller or OTW songs, lol


they follow the pattern... -Man in the mirror

"Oh I believe you and I could never really say goodbye"

[Em_Mj]

I know exactly what you mean, MJ does have his swagger moments. At the THIS IS IT press conferance, did any one notice the false exit, just when he turns to go, he stops right infront of the curtain ,turns around and gives a heroic, almost arrogant pose. Am I the only one who saw that?


:lol: ha yes! "THIS IS IT, AND SEE YOU IN JULY!"
then he turns around and casually "walks off"
turns around... and is like, YEAH LOOK WHO'S BOSS..
then giggles and smiles and then goes off
:)

but the Dangerous thang is just my fave :wub:

[MJsPYT1]

'Someone In The Dark'

"Oh I believe you and I could never really say goodbye"

OMGosh!!!!!! :wub::wub::wub:

This is definitely one of my FAVORITES!!!!!

[giddyup87]

the modulation in 'You Are Not Alone' near the end.

exactly 4:17

heavenly.

[giddyup87]

'Remember The Time'

"back in the spring, every morning birds would sing"

he makes it sound easy.

[Superstition]

"I guess the lady is still making up her mind... say we're just good friends!"

"Won't you stay with me until the morning sun.. I promise you now that the dawn will be different. Lady cant you see that heavens just begun.. its livin' here inside our hearts "

The fading ad-libs of "I Can't Help It". Got to catch the rewind bar just in time before the song cuts off.

[Marilyn Monroe]

The most would be the dance part in smooth criminal..same with thriller.

[Kirsten]

I have the audio of the "Black Or White" video, so I love to listen to the end where the "It's black, it's white" goes on for a long time - Don't know why, I just love it, I rewind it loads!

[arXter]

the ad libs near the end of This Time Around where goes "control this" and "control this HERE!". funky. and very Cartman-ish ("authoritah!").

[giddyup87]

the most rewinding i do on any song is 'Speechless'

still trying to find a bad second.

[giddyup87]

'Push Me Away' near the end.. the line "Don't you know these dreams, I wish could be

The real you and me"

just a slight difference in the way he sings 'real' it's minor but quality :)

[stineLOVESmichael]

in the closet; "it's just desire..I really love it.." sounds like he smiles when he sings it. AND after the "break" he starts singing "because there's..SUMTHIN' about u baby..that makes me want to give it to youu.. and then he starts singing "hellooo.. hello babe..hello babeh" heloooo" and I LOVE when the background goes : SUMTHIN'..'baaaoout u babeh.. especially the "SUMTHIN' it's so cool

wanna be startin' somethin'; "you're a vegetable...still they hate you. you're a vegetable. you're a buffe (and then I LOVE when he sings in the background: a veeegetableeeee.. a.. a vegetablleeeehh" AOW..

baby be mine; "HOLD me..only you and I ...." love the way he sings "meee"

billie jean: just remember to always think twice. Do think twice! (do think twice) HO!

beat it: " Don't be a macho man"

Bad: "we can change the world tomorrow..".... "if you don't like what I'm sayin"

[BruceWayne]

Speed Demon
I absolutely love that ethnic melody that comes 3:05 into the song. It gives the entire song a whole other flavor.

Don't Walk Away
The strings that comes in 1:50 are really beautiful, perfect marriage between the strings and vocals.

2 Bad
That energetic brass-stab-sounding break that comes 3:40 into the song, love it.

They Don't Care About Us
2:10 into the song, the strings and choirs... that makes every single hair on my body rise. I have a weird fetish for strings and choirs and when they're doing something together it really moves me.

Scream
This whole song is just pure perfection but I think it's interesting how they 3 minutes into it just take time to put the song in auto pilot and calm it down with some pads and stuff to 10 seconds later hit you over the head with the electric guitar and ethnic melody.

Jam
The brass break 2:50 into the song is energetic, and I love that last couple of notes right before the rap, where the melody is "falling".

There's a particular sound I also love that I can't figure out what it is.
~0:51½ (haha) into the song, you can hear a weird almost "hi tech" sound.
I heard a similar sound in loop preset from the Korg Wavestation synth, but it isn't exactly the same, and not as long.
It's something about that sound that has always made me tic... if I should visualize it's almost saying to me "get ready for take off".

In The Closet
That "rocket launch" sound ~6:04 into the song gets me going every time, I love that whole end-break. Well I love the entire song, the percussions programming in this song is second to none.

Can't Let Her Get Away
That whole break down 2:48-3:40 is so naughty I almost take a shower after hearing it :D

Remember The Time
Like some of guys have already said, that dance break in the video is incredible.
Michael just take time to shut down the music and be like,
"Do you remember girl, on the phone, you and me, til dawn till til three... WHAT ABOUT US GIRL ... BRRRRRAAAPP-DAP-DAP-DAP, BRRRRRAAAPP-DA-BA-DAP" :D
That drum pattern is out of this world.

Will You Be There
I love the whole break down starts around 5:15 into the song including Michael's sermon towards the end.
Beautiful choirs, that "ooooh why" choir-ad-lib 5:37 moves me.

Man I can go on for days but I'll end with a real favourite.
If you watch the video to "Another part of me", check out towards the end where Greg Phillinganes does this amazing keyboard solo.
That's how you know that dude breathes music.

Oh and yeah, that regular break down ~2:10 into the album version is a beast also.
As I kid I used to sit back and loop that like a mad man, haha.

Michael's part in "I Need You" by 3T. The song is so long and boring, and Michael's part is so short (but great), I rewind it so I enjoy it longer.

Money: "Cause they're the backstabbers"
Fall Again: "And everything Im looking for I seem to find", "We fought in a battle, where nobody won, and now we face a mountain to be overcome"

His feet movement in corresponding to the beat is unbelievable, needs more than one rewind.

[MJ*PP]

in the closet; "it's just desire..I really love it.." sounds like he smiles when he sings it. AND after the "break" he starts singing "because there's..SUMTHIN' about u baby..that makes me want to give it to youu.. and then he starts singing "hellooo.. hello babe..hello babeh" heloooo" and I LOVE when the background goes : SUMTHIN'..'baaaoout u babeh.. especially the "SUMTHIN' it's so cool

Liberian Girl: "I love you liberian girrrrrrrl"

She drives me wild; "She's got tha look..(beat)..HO! She's got tha look!...she's got the looook..

- Find Me A Girl

[sugarbunny891]

You are not alone : Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

[CarinaT]

Off The Wall:
The bridge - "There ain't no rules it's up to you"

One More Chance:
"Hurts so bad sometime it's hard to breathe." (Some MJ ebonics there) :D

Got To Be There:
"Oh...what a feeling I'll be." I love the music there...

Human Nature:
"See that girl-ah. She knows I'm watching. She likes the way I staaaarehhh"
So breathy. :D

Can't Get Outta The Rain:
The "Ahooooooooo!" in the beginning. :lol:
And 1:25-1:28 where the background singers are going "Doo dah, di dah, di dah..." and Mike's "hoo"-ing with them. :D

[JaneBender]

This is my personal favorite one...

After the breakdown in Get On The Floor, MJ comes back in...

"So get on the floor... Ha ha! Heee-ooowww!! and dance with me... ha ha!" I love that little Heee-owww! In my mind I see him in the studio singing and doing that thing he does that little bop on his toes in time with the music with a big smile on his face.

And the beginning of Jam. He hasn't started singing yet, but he's breathing heavy. It's only a few seconds, like he's getting ready to sing, but you can tell he's feeling the music, getting ready.

And basically any time he's speaking. The middle of The Girl Is Mine, The intro to IJCSLY, The beginning of DSTYGE, Him and Chris Tucker at the beginning of YRMW (I LOVE the way he's like "WATCH me get that girl" and Chris is like "Shamon then! Shamon!" :lol:

[CarinaT]

After the breakdown in Get On The Floor, MJ comes back in...

I've always LOVED that bit - he just sounds SO happy. Is there anyone that has more fun singing than Michael? To me, only a singer who is having a blast can come up with these ha-hee-hoo's... :)

[Hollow]

The second solo in "Give in to me". Slash did a superb job.

[giddyup87]

i always say the same thing to myself when do i highlight a part in a song or performance.
"get f.... mike, you shouldn't be able or allowed to do that" lol. "too good"

[Laura_Jo]

There are so many but at the mo, I LOVE the part in 'She rocks my world' where all the backing music drops out, apart from the bass and he sings 'You rock my world, the way you talk to me, the way you loving me, you, you... the way you... GIVE IT TO ME!' Don't ask me why I like it... ;)
