Can people please try and remember to search before making new threads. There are so many perfectly good threads that already exist. Please use them unless it's actually necessary to start a new one.
Sorry. On other forums if I'd responded to an older existing thread they'd ban me for necro-ing instead of making a new one.
It's weird how people complain about Invincible being too long when it's the same length as Dangerous and HIStory at 77 minutes.
I think Michael liked to cram as much as he could onto a single disc. I get that he wanted to give the listener as much as possible, and I appreciate that, but sometimes less is more. I think a 40-50 minute 10-12 track album is perfect because it satisfies the listener while also leaving them wanting more.

BRMJFan;4320044 said:No, the original image on the cover of Invincible is this! In the photo shoot Michael was painted gold.
Have you guys seen this?

wonderouzmj;4320106 said:Michael Jackson "Invincible" alternate unreleased Album DAT, "June 12, 2001 Mixes". All 15 tracks contain vocals by Michael Jackson. Total play time is approximately 73 minutes and 34 seconds. All recordings are unmastered and feature full studio dynamics. Five tracks are marked "not finished" in red marker and "2000 Watts" is also in that category. "Shout" was omitted from the final release, "You Are My Life" and "Whatever Happens" are not present here. "Threatened" was the last track with Rodney Jerkins and the Teddy Riley songs were all recorded very late. "Heaven Can Wait" is a highlight as Michael can be heard straining his voice - those vocal takes were never released. The song "Threatened" still features the original backing singer in the chorus and "Speechless" was originally the penultimate track on the album. The DAT is in very good condition, all tracks are rough transfers and the quality is nearly perfect with a few glitches that occurred during the transfer. The DAT has a "Not for Production" yellow label. The track listing and notes were handwritten by a studio engineer. This is being sold as a collectible. No copyrights are given or implied. Comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.
I gotta hear that heaven can wait vocal take!

The only change I would do is include the original lenght of the songs 2000watts and privacy, with those great ad libs, Cause on this album there aren´t much hee hees So those adlibs are just pure gems which should be included...
Fans seem to drool over "Shout". I've heard it and I don't like it at all. I'm glad it wasn't on Invincible.....I don't think it fits with the themes that are at play on the album. JMO

king_of_style;4320117 said:I think a huge reason for its popularity with fans that it's a novelty track like 2000 Watts in that on listening to it you might want to stop and say "OHMYGOD IT'S MICHAEL F____IN' JACKSON SPITTIN' BARS ABOUT THE CHILDREN AND SH_T" which is fair, since like with 2000 Watts, where Michael never uses his deep voice again in songs (as far as we know), we have no other track where Michael is rapping, except for maybe "Tabloid Junkie" and whatever's contained in that unreleased "Jungle" track. Whether or not you like Michael rapping (personally I'm into it, but I'd understand if someone wasn't) you can't say there's another song like it.
I think in China, Break of Dawn, 2000 Watts and Threatened were left off the original release.
WHAT? - Never heard that before. - I've heard Morphine had it's title/name changed in a country, but to leave out 3 entire songs?? Sounds cracy.
Could anyone from china - or one that has the chinese version - take a picture of the cover and share?
But that's a old casette tape. - could that simply be because of length? - was the songs also removed from the chineese CD release?
