Keep The Faith is a weaker version of Man In The Mirror, Will You Be There and On The Line.

Yes a group generally put together by Michael but they voted on what makes the album.. Michael wanted Streetwalker instead of Another Part Of me... Would it still be a perfect album? Because if we were here saying "Why didn't we have APOM over Streetwalker.. than we'd say "Don't mess with the album"..
Picture the Bad era without APOM song/video/performance.. that video was many peoples first look at MJ on stage doing his thing in all his glory for a specific generation that was not around for Motown 25.. Plus, he came into his own much more since then...

If a gun was to my head and I had to cut something from the Dangerous album, I would probably go with Keep the Faith.
To the next person who suggests amending Dangerous in any way, I'm going to come round to your house on Christmas Day and piss on your turkey.
No Michael Jackson album is the Holy Bible. They can all be amended in various ways to make them objectively "better".
The uncut version of "The Lady in My Life" should have appeared on Thriller, for example. Several tracks on Dangerous ramble onward for an unnecessarily long time and could do with an edit or two (the title track, "Jam," "Who Is It," "Will You Be There"). The majority of Invincible should be cut and replaced with stronger outtakes (almost anything from the sessions).
"Slave to the Rhythm" is vocally stronger than most of what made Dangerous but doesn't fit anywhere in the track listing in its present demo state in terms of consistency and genre affiliation.
Side note: I feel the best version of "Slave to the Rhythm" we've heard thus far is the Bieber edit simply because the instrumentation is excellent. That's followed by the Tricky Stewart leaked cut, then the Timbaland album version, then the demo.

It seems that you will never get rid of your stupidity.
I honestly can't believe you've suggested editing Who Is It or Jam.
Every mother****ing second of those two songs is justifiable and with their weight in gold.
In fact I love the demo Who Is It that lasts even longer.
I wonder if this is a modern generation thing of short attention span?
Surely, you wanted to say "subjectively". Because I do not think anything that you suggested about Dangerous would make it better. To me it looks like butchering it. LOL. Anyway, the point is, your opinion is just as good as anyone's, so I would hardly call it "objective".
This has nothing to do with attention spans or generational gaps. This is coming from a person who adores both parts of Justin Timberlake's 20/20 Experience, which includes a total of 26 songs, only six of which run under five minutes (and 13 exceed six minutes).
Gotta disagree there. "Who Is It" particularly is an exquisite track but the final two minutes (give or take) features nothing that would warrant such an overtly unnecessary run time. Not within the vocals (there are bursts of excellency in the ad-libs) or the instrumentation or the production. Same with "Jam"; the textures are similar and loop for around six minutes without much variation.

"Superfly Sister" does a much better job at keeping you attentive for a six and a half minute run time.
Whoops! I did mean to put subjective. Thanks for pointing that out

It seems not. Any advice though gratefully received.
I am afraid the link is completely irrelevant in that case.
The fact that you are still (or pretend to be) unaware of your infinite stupidity makes your whole situation even sadder.
Also, advices do not help at all when it comes to chronic & incurable mental conditions (like your case). You should have known that.

Are you still joking? Because it's become hard to tell.The fact that you are still (or pretend to be) unaware of your infinite stupidity makes your whole situation even sadder.

I never joke about cureless mental conditions.
