Really, How come? You're not a big fan of Dangerous right?Well, sadly, I only like one-"Remember the Time." Easy vote for me.
No, I'm not. .Really, How come? You're not a big fan of Dangerous right?
I agree that the second half of Dangerous is where the albums shines most, but Dangerous would undoubtedly be weaker as a whole without songs like Jam, In The Closet and Heal The World on the first half. There aren't many albums I could say this about, but almost every song on Dangerous adds to the record. The reason the second half works so well is because of how it differs from the first half. A whole album like the second half would be too much, a whole album like the first half would also give you a migraine. Rolling Stone criticised Dangerous for its sequencing:
I think Dangerous is definitely guilty of doing this, but the songs are so good, you don't care. By Invincible, this clustered sequence of similar sounding songs had started to become a problem.
I voted for all of them except for Jam. That song used to be my one of my most played songs back when we still had him. I used to so totally love that song and the video for it. I even remember watching the world premiere of that video back then. But now it is one of my most hated MJ songs. In fact I can't even begin to tell you just how much I hate that song now. Since it is a constant reminder of how I had gotten the worst news ever about him. :boohoo The other songs I just so totally miss listening to. But because of my anxiety attacks and my depression over what happened to him. Listening and watching him has totally become a thing of the past for me. I had since excepted the fact that watching and listening to him I will never be able to do again. Shahrukh Khan and my Bollywood music had since longed replaced him. And thank God that I have that now.
You can't watch or listen to MJ but you can spend your life on here talking about him? You need serious profesional help. MJ is gone 8 years now and soon you will have spent a decade of your life posting the exact same thing, over and over and over again. If you can't celebrate what MJ gave you at this point you have a very serious problem that isn't healthy. Please see a doctor and get help for your own sake.
The thing is, whenever someone says to her she needs help, she comes up with excuses. Or she just ignores it. Or writes the same things again over and over. For example, she said her therapist is an MJ hater just because he talked about something else the few time she did mention him. I explained to her that it isn't necessarily the reason, and that a therapist can't let their personal feelings and likes get in the way of helping a patient, and she should insist on keep talking about MJ, eventually her therapist has to listen to her. but she totally ignored it. I wouldn't bother wasting my time on telling her to get helpThis X1000. It's quite annoying seeing this poster say the same stuff in every thread. I honestly find it quite disturbing that someone can be in constant state of depression just because a celebrity that she liked is no longer with us. I love MJ and I wish he was still alive but I don't let his death affect the quality of my life and neither does it prevent me from listening to his music on a daily basis. It's worrying when people get too emotionally attached to anyone let alone a celebrity that they most likely never met. Like you said, this girl needs to seek professional help and I don't mean that in a rude way.
Nooooooo! It actually breaks up the album quite nicely I think!Dangerous
Jam
In The Closet
Remember The Time
Why You Wanna Trip On Me
Can't Let Her Get Away
She Drives Me Wild
The first 4 I love equally. Would replace Heal The World with Someone Put Your Hand Out, and would have preferred if he had released Heal The World as a seperate stand alone single for the Heal The World foundation.

I suppose, to be fair it was one of my favorites on the album in the beginning and it is intrinsically MJ.Nooooooo! It actually breaks up the album quite nicely I think!
I've fought long and hard to remain on that will over the years and I ain't about to get removed from it now! Heal The World?? Best thing he ever did!!Aaron! Trying to mess with Dangerous?
Are you purposely trying to get written out of my will?
Didn't realise that. I've bit my toungue over the years regarding her posts, didn't know if it's someone who's genuinely unwell or just looking for attention. If so it's incredibly self indulgent and it puts a downer on the subject at hand. It's something MJ wouldn't want. He would want all of his fans to be celebrating him through his art.The thing is, whenever someone says to her she needs help, she comes up with excuses. Or she just ignores it.

This is exactly it for me. It's the shifting in tone- playful melody, serious content. Perfect transition to the later songs.I also like the way it signifies the intermission on the album, it's like "okay, you've had some fun on the album and some great NJS & pop, but now the darker side starts. YOU BETTER BE OKAY WITH IT!"
