Dangerous 25: what would you like to see happen? [UNCONFIRMED]

fans definitely tend to create this grand release that the estate will always fall short of.. Of course they will fall short of what we dream up... when we do we are coming up with the thing that will make us most happy!!

It's like drawing up the perfect woman/man in your head and you get an actual human with flaws.. No one will live up to that expectation.

If a D25 is never delivered, there will be a wave of disappointment across the forum, coupled with complaints and angry comments directed at the estate, none of which would be justified.

Personally, I do not have a crystal ball so as to accurately predict how fans react when their expectations are not met.

Bad25 was slammed by some for not including enough unreleased tracks/demos. It was criticized by some for selling a VHS-copied performance in the age of high definition. It was lambasted by others for including remixes. It was ripped to shreds by others still because it didn't include the original album pressing. And yes, I know of fans on several forums who flat-out did not purchase it.

It's nonsensical actions.

I suppose you know that it is practically impossible for an official release to satisfy each & every single fan/person. We should keep in mind also that there are always nitpicky fans who can very easily find fault with literally any official release. This phenomenon is general, meaning it does not affect exclusively MJ’s official releases.

Apart from that, there is always of course a portion of fans that merely does not really care about anniversary editions. These fans/people (who are never going to buy any of those editions) can easily come up with any excuse so as to lash such editions.

Finally, let me put it that way: your ideal edition of an anniversary official release (‘Bad 25’, for instance) is going to raise serious objects from other fans, & vice versa. That thing is unavoidable.
 
In my ideal world I'd love some new songs with a some demos from the recording sessions.

That's a given. Nothing is perfect. I won't dispute that by any means.

My point lies within the fact that there is a fine line between desires and expectations, and many people blur those lines to the point of nonexistence. It doesn't seem to be understood that what we would all like to see released at one given moment and what is a realistic release possibility are two separate things. Many seem not to comprehend that, as evident by some of the suggestions given in this thread.

It's simply getting irritating seeing fans lash out at the estate because Dangerous25 has not been delivered yet. (Yes, I have seen instances of pure anger from fans due to this.) Expectations/disappointment is your own fault.
 
Hmmm, I'm not sure I for one have seen any anger or what have you for not doing anything yet. I and I think others are freaking out that it might not happen which would be a sad missed opportunity to not do something that is limited edition before more re-releases could be done in the future! The release date was late 1991 so it could be anytime from then to a year afterwards. No missed opportunity, yet, eh?

With that said I certainly don't think more than two or MAX three previously unreleased songs should be released on it! The reason being is that limited edition products at some point won't be on the market, made, or sold anymore and I sure as hell don't want to have too much M.J. not available for too long in the future, huh!? And hopefully it will have some unique aspects to it that future re-releases might not in order to make it unique and give it some sort of significance unto itself when compared to whatever future re-releases of "Dangerous"! Of course anything on it could also be re-released as well in the future on whatever type of release BUT I would think and hope that any future re-releases would hold off on whatever a Silver Anniversary Edition might contain before being compiled in something else down the line.
 
Like it had been said multiple times before, I'd really love some Dangerous outtakes, some demos. Some shots of him recording songs would be great too. And hopefully a booklet with a lot of new pictures from that era.
Actually anything new from that era (unedited, not modernised), would be cool, as long as they try to keep it real and as close to as Michael would have wanted it.

I see your join date is August so welcome to MJJC. :D
 
Of late I've made it a habit of not expecting anything from anybody, coz you feel totally disappointed if your expectations aren't met. Instead I'd prefer to take whatever comes as a surprise and enjoy it even more. Maybe something special could happen for D25, but I'm keeping no expectations. :)
 
We are already in September. The hope for a re-release is as good as gone. I give up,
 
Not releasing anything this year or next would be a mistake. Just look at the view statistics for michaeljacksonVEVO videos... they have risen quite a bit.
 
How I feel about Dangerous 25 not existing right now.

Bull sh-it! Who in the hell says that "Dangerous 25" is not happening?! The real question is why is there at some point not open communication with the fans, the Estate, and Sony? This should not be hard to figure out at some point. I mean this has the potential of happening next year as well as the tail end of this one.
 
I'll give up any hope by Mid-November (which would be latest in time for a Christmas release). My reasoning being that for every posthumous project bar TII and Bad 25, the Estate has announced every project about a month and a bit before it's release.

Open communication? The Estate/Sony act as every other artist/label do, they announce projects when they're getting close to release unless fans help is needed (i.e. Behind the Mask music video).

As for the idea of being released next year... it is... possible... I suppose. Thriller 25 came out in 2008 despite being the album being released in 1982 (although it could've been for the 25th anniversary of the Thriller short film, which was released at the end of 1983).

Neither the Estate nor Sony have ever even given a subtle hint that Dangerous25 was ever under consideration, much less in production. The only people who have ever commented on it was the fan community due to the fact that this year is its 25th anniversary. The hype is entirely fan constructed and serves only to piss off those who took it as legitimacy.

none of us can say for sure if it will or will not happen

Well, certainly. But it's a safe bet that it isn't.

Every estate project thus far has had some degree of confirmed hype behind it - articles on the production of Michael, leaks regarding the Spike Lee documentaries, Dr. Freeze confirming that a new album was forthcoming, so on and so forth.

But Dangerous25? Nothing.

Granted, it is a possibility I suppose... but no one should hold their breath.

Very true :(

What was there for Bad 25, if anything? I wasn't really involved in this side of the fan community before it's announcement.

The long awaited announcement of the Wembley show for one thing. And then we started hearing about Spikes doc.
 
I don't think there will be Dangerous 25 and i don't think we the fans should expect them to do an anniversary edition for every MJ album. That's just not possible. I would love it if D25 does indeed happen but I don't think it will and I don't blame the estate and Sony for it.
 
Yeah it's not happening. I'd be very surprised if the Estate bothered to do anything after the OTW re-release, they may as well have done nothing when it came to that tbh.
