Who Do You Know - Discussion

I can't hear it on HIStory. Maybe if it was a little softer in theme and something like "On the Line" and "Willing and Waiting" were on there

Not strictly R&B enough. It'd work best on Victory to me. And funny enough, Destiny.

I agree with Destiny.

On Victory? Idk, perhaps instead of BNA??
As much as I like BNA, I always felt out of place on Victory. To a certain degree, I think BNA, MTS, LS & WDYK are interchangeable.

How so?

BNA and LS? Do you mean bc of the bleak lyrics? That's the only thing I can think of. LS (and Is It Scary) to me are so operatic, grand, theatrical and epic I can't see any sort of overlap with BNA.

I'm confused. :D

All of them deal with a melancholic topic.
 
I wouldn't say HIStory. If MJ had kept the initial post-Thriller/Victory tracks and used them for a LP, then maybe it would've worked there. Much more fleshed out, of course.
 
WDYK is a great song, easily the best song on T40 and it's the only song from the album that I still listen to regularly. There's not a lot to say about the instrumental as it is pretty bare bones so I wish the estate had saved the song for a remix album instead. If WDYK had been given a full production I believe it could match the quality of ballads like Human Nature easily.

Agree. This could've easily wiped TGIM out of the lineup but when you listen to the lyrics, the song is a bit sad and could've brought down the overall mood of the album. I could hear him reworking the song during his time with John Barnes.....kind of like a 1986 version or something

Considering latest of LS or TheToy/BoJ were almost identical to their initial recorded versions, I wouldn't expect huge differences on wdyk except polishing touches.
