I agree. Would have looked naff and horrendously insensitive. Some things just don't need input from the world of pop. There is a time and a place for that - perhaps in the wake of a natural disaster. This was different.I think in the wake of the horrendous tragedy that was 9/11, it would have looked like a PR spin from a major artist like Mike releasing a single from his new album to coincide with the terrible event. Would have seemed insensitive and insincere, which Michael was most certainly not
He did the right thing with WMGIG, the single just need a better roll out
Tbh, f&m, I wouldn't even want this. Any reaction from the world of pop would have been wrong, imo. Not saying artists can't respond to world events later on. 'Flying' by Living Colour is a brilliant song about 9/11. Bleak but brilliant.There is only 1 song suited for releasing after such a devastating event and that is “we shall overcome” preferably sung by nightingale joan baez
