[The Special One]

Yep...

[SJR]

Yes. He's screaming "What about elephants" in a non-environmental song. ?!?!?!?

[Deniro UK]

It's 'What about apathy' ^^

[TSCM]

Not just Earth Song, but I also detected much more obscure samples, e.g. from We've Had Enough.

[SoCalledChaos]

What? :O

We've had enough? :scratch:

[mksmurf]

I think we'd better NOT focus on Cascio songs, this could make us feel better...

'cuz we can do nothing but nothing, we cant change the track list, we cant stop sony or estate... they choose ignore us...

Just think MJ sang it, that's all we can do...

May be mj sang part of the song, may be not, we don't have proof...

[Dark Artist]

I'm just posting to say that the title of this thread is a little inconsiderate of those of us who haven't heard the song yet. I'd rather not hear anyone's ideas of certain songs before I haven't heard the songs themselves yet!

[TSCM]

We've had enough? :scratch:

To me it sounds like they took at least one "Oh no..." vocal from We've Had Enough, notched up the pitch and tempo slightly to match the new song, and added it.

I hope they take that out of there. It sounds so out of place. I don't understand all of this sampling ad-lids from his other songs? In Breaking News, the hoo's/hee hee's are noticably sampled as well.

[Casey R]

It sounds absolutely ridiculous having those Earth Song samples in there.

[MaJic]

Yes. He's screaming "What about elephants" in a non-environmental song. ?!?!?!?

i think its "what about everything"

as in "what about everything i ain't even do?"

[diana79]

I hate that Earth Song adlibs were used. If those are in the final version, I'm never going to listen to it. I don't ever want to listen to Earth Song and think of KYHP.

I love the songs but I love anything that involves him so it doesn't matter. I personally hope this album sells like crazy and breaks another record. He deserves it after all he has been through. I believe 99.9% of the people who worked with him and had a part in this album wants it to succeed just as MJ would. Yes there are some who are jealous "Will & Family" and want to destroy this. It's sickening...

But I'm not going to let it sicken me.... Personally, I can't wait for the album and may even buy multiple copies. I have been waiting almost freakin' 10 years for this!

RIP MJ (Still can't believe it)

[Superstition]

Between Monster, Keep Your Head Up and Breaking News, there are samples from:

On The Line
Ghosts
Got The Hots
You Rock My World
Earth Song

and possibly We've Had Enough and/or Cry.

[GeorgeDK]

I love the song and also the Earth song sample, they should however delete the "What about Africa" part...

[michaelsson]

=/ hes saying "what about apathy" not africa...lol

[Shamonee]

Yes. He's screaming "What about elephants" in a non-environmental song. ?!?!?!?

:lol: :lol: :lol: It was funny, though.

[GeorgeDK]

=/ hes saying "what about apathy" not africa...lol

Lol, I know you are right, I keep hearing Africa though and for me it's a bit out of place in the song ;D :D

[Shamonee]

Take it to the "Misheard MJ lyrics" thread, guys. :P

[sclirismj]

i love those samples cause these are the only real MJ in this fake sh!itty song...

[aliana101]

I honestly started laughing when I suddenly heard Earth Song in the song. wth lol (I didn't know about this before I heard it myself)

[AsimC]

Can someone please PM me a mp3 for Keep Your Head Up?

[Shamonee]

Can someone please PM me a mp3 for Keep Your Head Up?

I've PMed you.

[Ramzy]

It"s like someone added the "earth song" part at the end of "Keep Your Head Up" , i mean maybe a hater... Strange.......

[amei0688]

I've PMed you.

me too please? Thank you!!! :)

[Chris_Jones]

Lol pm me too please

[SIDEWALK]

the sample is not even mixed in very well, it stands out like a sore thumb.

[WeAreTheWorld]

I'm probably insane for thinking this.. and I hope I can say this and still be alive afterwards... but I actually like the Earth song sample. I mean yeah, it could have been done smoother, but still.. it sounds good to me. People who doesn't know MJ songs like we do, would just think it's him singing his heart out in an amazing voice (and with vocals that he ACTUALLY DID APPROVE OF ONCE and wanted us to hear, so we know he's happy with them. Unlike the rest of the song...). And for us (or at least me) it's just a mix of old and new. I like it. Maybe I'm crazy, but oh well.. It's just me. With that being said, I wouldn't mind the sample being removed either. I just want to hear his voice.

I'm quite agree with you - That doesn't upset me to hear the Earth song sample - I confess that the first time it sounded a little bit weird, but ... no, finally I like it. And it could be smoother in the album. I wonder how the entire song has been leaked :scratch: ? a reaction test ? never mind, I like it.

[Roosje]

The song is fantastic, and the earth song adlibs fit the song very well. Whoever produced this in the final stages did a good job in my opinion.

[BudzMJJ]

All this sampling is doing my nut in. If he didn't record the ad=libs for the song, don't worry about. The world ain't gonna go, "oh, there are no ad-libs, this can't be michael" we ain't that retarded. I mean, it was bad enough with the sample hoo and hee's in bn (clearly the ooow is from the extended Bad flase fade mix) but now this, i mean, its sooooo ridiculously obvious the sampled earth song, even non fans will notice it.

[EdGaR]

because of that samples automaticly that "song" it's pure garbage! that's not ORIGINAL at all, and i'm not going to say about the voice, that's another story.... ¬_¬

[Sophielo]

The ES adlibs do not go with the lyrics of KYHU. Screaming about elephants and Africa does not fit in with the message of keeping your head up when things get tough. I can see it being removed in all fairness. But, I still love the song.

[aliana101]

My consolation is...Better this than an imitator...

Does he really sing 'elephants'? I thought so at first (and I know those lyrics are in Earth Song), but often I don't hear Michael's words properly *hides*. I agree elephants would be very out of place in the song. Africa a little less, but still. I feel like he keeps zooming out on different kinds of problems that affect the world.

[Ágnes]

you can hear in the songs bits from Dirty Diana and YRMW as well

[Dangerous Incorporated]

I thought MJ had 100s of songs even near complete songs and yet Sony are struggle to produce an authentic MJ album.

[Screamin]

I thought MJ had 100s of songs even near complete songs and yet Sony are struggle to produce an authentic MJ album.

I think we all thought that especially with leaks such as the almost completed Escape.
I think Sony have some gems hidden in their vault but they arent planning on releasing them right now and are instead releasing the worst they have as they KNOW the first album with new material since his death will be a huge profit maker regardless of the tracks
