Latest on MJJC

If “One More Chance” was properly released and promoted, would it have been Michael’s 2000s success?

Why should you report even if it wasnt a false alarm? Its a discussion with different opinions.

One More Chance is very good rnb music. It's very of the era, which I mean, the 90s/00s are known for amazing rnb songs of course. R. Kelly, the scumbag as he is, was very good at making rnb music. Naturally One More Chance is a great song. The only thing it really lacked was a completed music video with close ups of Michael's face. I think it would've done marginally better, but not by too much.

People that weren't around in the early 00s probably don't really get it, because they didn't experience it as it happened, but Michael was relentlessly hounded in the media. It was worse than it was in the 90s, ignoring the immediate fallout of Chandler's allegations. It felt like every time you flipped the channel to CNN or Fox, they were talking shit about MJ and saying what a freak he was. When he dangled Blanket over the balcony, his credibility, that was already shot, made it so he may as well have dropped him. He was guilty of every and anything in the eyes of the mass media by that point. All this to say, they weren't talking about his music--they didn't care.

It's interesting - on the Steve Hoffman forum recently someone said that the line "Tell her this for me" is actually sung by R. Kelly - I've never thought this, it always just sounded like a rough odd MJ delivery.

Many fans have picked this up before - MJ sings the last one after the bridge which sounds far less gritty. It was probably a stylistic choice but I have to agree the production of this song as well as YANA are among the worst in terms of digital alterations, almost as bad as Cascio tracks!

The Ford Remix is interesting and many fans suspected it was R. Kelly, despite DJ Ford being adamant it was MJ from multitracks with pitch correction. A remix with this extracted vocal + instrumental has been passed off as an "R. Kelly demo" but I now suspect most of the vocals are neither MJ nor R. Kelly - I think it is actually Nick Vitola the lead singer of R. Kelly's boyband Secret Weapon who also recorded a writer's demo that leaked recently (very similar but slightly different vocal take) though the "Tell her this for me" and "One more chance at love yeah" ad-libs in the Ford mix still sounds like R. Kelly spliced in.
