Because its written by Teddy Riley.

But, if it's released, the LEAST they could do is take out that God-awful spoken part...What a way to kill a Michael Jackson dance track...
kasume;3211887 said:taking out the spoken part leaves out the TRUE MESSAGE of the song. in the spoken part, it is where we find out the true meaning of the song, that hollywood isn't so wonderful as everyone makes it out to be. whats an mj song if his intended message is not even delivered?????

Arklove;3211897 said:I see your point, so I guess it works both ways then... I still don't like that part, the message could have been relayed a little more succintly, though..It's just too long...
kreen;3212005 said:Well actually, I thought the spoken part contradicted the rest of the lyrics. In MJ's lyrics (and handwritten note), the girl is 15, and it's not implied that she meets any kind of success in Hollywood; if anything, the last lines indicate that she becomes a prostitute. Whereas in Riley's rap, the girl IS a star, although she realizes it's not what it's cracked up to be.
Arklove;3212034 said:Good point. Well, it's not really Michael's message now, is it? It's Teddy's
Tsukiji;3212042 said:I wonder why Teddy let Tarryl do the spoken part since his stance on all this? Is it known when Tarryl even recorded that part?
