Re: L.A. Reid confirms A Place With No Name is the next single (released on August 11)

It's refreshing for Michael to sing about a woman who has not betrayed him :D

They can follow the storyline

I see a beautiful city appear
Where kids are playin' and people are laughin' and smiling and
No one's in fear

She said this is the place where no people have pain
And in love and happiness


They can show children playing when he sings about it

I seen the grass and the sky and the birds
And the flowers surrounded by the trees


Here i want to see trees,birds, grass and not a desert.
There is room for the mysterious woman too in the song when he sings about her

I personally find this type of exact depiction of the lyrics to be predictable and not very creative IMO. I don't see why every word needs to be recreated in the video.

The way it can be recreated can be creative!

You can't judge a video after a few making-of photos. It should be great, IMO.
 
Re: L.A. Reid confirms A Place With No Name is the next single (released on August 11)

They should NOT call this a Michael Jackson SHORT FILM!!!!!!!! that disgusts me a lot, this looks incredibly unprofessional, cheesy & badly written! This shoddy video won't be watched by me, ever. The original song is enough.
 
Re: L.A. Reid confirms A Place With No Name is the next single (released on August 11)

If the video is longer than 5 minutes, than it is an short film. If not then it is an normal music video.

You are starting to annoy me and I'm sure a couple of others too.

You didn't even see the video yet.

Calm down mister.
 
IMO these photos are from making of MJ One version of video, we know there must be two of them, one can be a music video and the second one is a short film, so who knows.

And it is not professional photos to start with – it is photos of making of and I don’t understand how it is possible to say if the video is unprofessional or cheesy …

We need to watch both videos to judge any IMO.

I´m in a group on FB and they wouldn´t agree with you probably. Most of them think it´s about June Chandler. But since it´s not Michael who wrote the lyrics I can´t see how that would be, but they insist.

Dude, chill down. You have seen 2 or 3 unedited photos from the set, nothing more. To call the whole thing "badly written & cheesy" is extremely biased and uncalled for, because judging it is impossible at this point.
 
Re: L.A. Reid confirms A Place With No Name is the next single (released on August 11)

Asked Alicia from MJ Online Team about a physical CD single.

She says she doesn't know... :(

I disagree. This has to be from the official video.

These two shots were snapped on the video set, you can even see part of the filming equipment on the first shot. So yea, they are not professional photos duh. lol And you can't call the video shoddy and cheesy and badly written (??) when you haven't seen it.

Yes, probably you are right. These photos are from MJ Twitter page but not MJ One\Circus page.
Well, we’ll see.
 
Re: L.A. Reid confirms A Place With No Name is the next single (released on August 11)

Sorry but I cannot take any opinions seriously that say after seeing three still pics that the video is "badly written". Give it a chance and watch it at least before you totally trash it. :smilerolleyes:
 
Re: L.A. Reid confirms A Place With No Name is the next single (released on August 11)

I think it's stupid to expect some short film masterpiece when the master is gone. Bar the hologram, this has been a great project. I still believe they can pull this off.

Good God, please just stop!!!

In case you have forgotten, the master is no longer with us, so why not wait to see the video in its entirety and then pass your judgements

Still they should make something always with Michael's high standards in mind. Otherwise don't do it.

This has been said countless times yet still people trot out that 'well Michael's gone so what more can they do' nonsense. If you're going to do something bad and devoid of creativity and hope for a sympathetic response from the audience then it's a total waste of time.

Yeah, when I saw those pictures I couldn't help but think the editing must have gone something like this:


:lol:

I agree though, can't really judge it until we see more than 3 pics.
 
Re: L.A. Reid confirms A Place With No Name is the next single (released on August 11)

Personally, I am reserving all judgement about this video until I actually see it.

Re: L.A. Reid confirms A Place With No Name is the next single (released on August 11)

That pic makes me think it'll be another tribute type video. Sure hope not!
 
Re: L.A. Reid confirms A Place With No Name is the next single (released on August 11)

I can't believe the new apwnn has actually grown on me. I absolutely hated the new mix when I first heard it.
 
Re: L.A. Reid confirms A Place With No Name is the next single (released on August 11)

photo of Michael in the background is cool, but they shouldn't call it a short film IMO
 
Re: L.A. Reid confirms A Place With No Name is the next single (released on August 11)

Hmm we may get some unseen ITC footage maybe?
