^^ I love that review. I checked out the BET performances because of it, and it's so true O.O.
im googling it, seeing reactions on boards. so far i'm seeing people would rather make immature jokes about MJ and kids with the title "Hold My Hand"....they rather do that than admit the song is on fire.
"Okay Mike. I’ll hold your hand but only in the company of a third party–ideally an armed third party.
Now is “hand” protool’d as a placeholder for another word? Nevamind.
Actually it’s not a bad joint. It won’t chart beyond the High School Musical crowd…. It’s just too clean. This would’ve been a dope song about 10-15 years ago.
actually it’s still kinda fresh."
:mat: Grrr, I checked out some blogs too and these kind of comments made me so mad! I'm glad that everyone's posting a lot of positive comments here because they show that the positive ones outweigh the bad
. And that latter one is so silly! :lmao: Whoever they are, they're trying real hard to hate LOL.
on a different rant, sometimes i wonder what exactly people want from MJ. MJ obviously is trying to sound fresh and new...but people don't want him to that cuz then he's sinking too low. But if he doesn't do that then he'll be stuck in the past and desperate. Wow oh wow.
But if it was freakin soulja boy or lil wayne with a new song...EVERYONE would be trippin (actually everyone does trip...lil wayne sold 1mil copies in his first week!) and no one can tell me they're better or make BETTER THAN AVERAGE songs.I understand MJ's a legend but why does he constantly have to prove himself, when these other cats can "steal his crown" with one or two average songs themselves?
Seriously, it's one hell of a catch-22 isn't it? :sigh:
I think most people are going to like it. Do not care about the FEW haters who make comments. ALL ARTISTS go through that with people.< """"they're also making jokes about MJ and Akon being homosexual""""""> WHo cares about one or two people saying this. To me, this is a badge of honor in the music biz. Like my old saying and many in the industry has said the same thing, "you know you have made it to the top when some people (1) accuse you of being gay, (2) put you in the tabloids, (3) start to sue you. This is typical for someone who is ON TOP of the world.
True dat! Preach it! It's easy to overlook that sometimes, but there are bloodthirsty hounds out there. It's a wonder how the attacked handle it sometimes :no:.
I'm tellin ya, this song is gonna be blowing up the radio.
Gosh, I sure hope so!!!!! *Gets excited* I just hope I don't get sick of it :happy:.
The song created a very positive oooey gooey atomosphere, among a complete potpouri of people. Normally it is a very greasy, ruff, gear head crowd, with some teenagers out pretending they are grown and a few familys strolling around looking at the hot rods. Tonight they were all MJ/Akon fans enjoying a song ... about ten times in a row :lol:
**wonders if Beau is home yet**
:hysterical:
What a fantastic story Chichi! And what a great crowd! If they're any indication, we got a real summer hit on our hands! Wooot!!! :dancing:
Someone else said that they love it on Prince's fanclub site.....
Love universal yall.
I'm loving all these great comments from all over the place! Thanks to y'all for posting -- if non-fans can sing the song's praise, then SWEET!
A bonafide hit for sure!
I've been sharing the song with a few of my friends and all of them LOVE it. That and all the positive comments I'm finding everywhere from random people just tells me one thing:
They're ready for him to come back. They WANT him back.
It's like all the negative things that were going on years ago never happened at all. There actually aren't a lot of haters left. And what few there are have to duck and cover before somebody throws a brick at them. People are tired of all the white noise that's playing on the radio now and they want something real. Something exceptional. And the last time I checked, those were MJ's specialties.
HELL YES! Good call on it DianaJS! People
do want him back, but some just don't want to admit it. :smilerolleyes: Seriously, it's so silly. I sure hope the haters are diminishing in number, but regardless, I think we can count on new fans with new MJ material :yes:. And I would think that worldwide, all us fans can snuff out those remaining silly little haters... by doing this: :tease:LOL.
