What would be your ideal Invincible track list Mr R? Anyone else care to add their ideal track list?Plus the chorus is awful and it goes on way too long.

Good point. I always felt the young kids voice was from MJ's perspective and he felt guilted into meet and greet mode. I like the instrumtation also. The guitar on the MOV vinyl sounds great IMO.The only thing I don't like about privacy is MJ's vocals. I don't like the way he sounds during the song. I don't find the intro insulting to the fans. Many Fans can be very annoying and way too dramatic and emotional when they encounter their favourite celebrities. I'm pretty sure MJ experienced a lot of crazy fan encounters during his life and it must have been annoying for him sometimes.

Interesting album. We've Had Enough would make a good album closer. I never really connected with Blue Gangsta. You've cut all the balladry which probably does improve things. Whatever Happens is more of an optimistic title than Invincible. The tracks that didn't make the album are so good.It'd be called Whatever Happens and go a little something like this:
Whatever Happens
You Rock My World
Threatened
Speechless
Slave To The Rhythm
Escape (proper spelling!)
Blue Gangsta
Butterflies
2000 Watts
Invincible (but a different production)
Heartbreaker (no rap)
We've Had Enough

It is basically saying fans are annoying and a problem. The little girl saying to her mum "look its Michael Jackson" is particularly insulting, why wouldn't a little girl be happy to see her idol? It just comes off as a bit careless Tbh.
This rocks! Might try this version.Xscape
Heartbreaker
Hollywood Tonight
Break of Dawn
Heaven Can Wait
You Rock My World
Butterflies
Speechless
Unbreakable (with shorter intro)
You Are My Life
She Was Loving Me
We've Had Enough
The Lost Children
Threatened
Whatever Happens
Much Too Soon
I know MTS is an old song, but MJ had put old songs on albums in the past, and it does work if you listen to it (I made this version of the album on my iTunes playlist and it sounds awesome).

Same thing that happens in the video of "Speed Demon." A little kid screams "Look it's Michael Jackson" and the tourists in the bus go chasing him down.It is basically saying fans are annoying and a problem.

Yeah that's a good point.
I hate this about the song. None of them sound like the paparazzi that actually hounded him. Everyone actually seems quite polite in the intro!
It irks me too. Paparazzi, OK, but Michael clearly loved his fans and loved the sense of Michael Mania. This was one of the biggest artistic mis steps of his career. It may have been someone elses idea, but its a little rich to include excited fans in the intro.LOL at people being mad/irritated about words in a song meanwhile had Michael actually ignored certain kids he would have been much better off.
Also being hounded by people on a constant can be taxing even if they are fans, and you have to keep in mind that Michael's level of fame wasn't normal.
He couldn't go to the middle of nowhere without having a crowd either following him or being there when he arrived.
Hell, some crazy deranged fans have harmed or killed celebs (and yes, even seemingly polite fans can be crazy).
Lastly, in reality we all know that Michael was extremely kind and giving to kids and his fans, so all things considered being mad/irritated about a part of a song is kinda petty. :/
Anywho back to the topic of the thread.
I love Unbreakable!
The song/lyrics are pretty much a big FU to all of the people that tried to trash Michael and keep him down, and I love it!
Yeah but theyre eyes went BLACK and scary so he HAD to run! The kids in Privacy didnt sound like they had black clay motion eyes!!! HaSame thing that happens in the video of "Speed Demon." A little kid screams "Look it's Michael Jackson" and the tourists in the bus go chasing him down.
Wasn't always paps that were freaking out and chasing him.

I disagree, had it been just paparazzi or rude fans then fair enough. "Mommy mommy, its Michael Jackson" has no place in the intro to Privacy.*sigh*
I suppose that some people would have to spend some time as Michael to understand just how overwhelming his day to day life could be, and how even his fans could have added to that stress at times. :/

Exactly, that's why think that the only way for some people to understand would be for them to actually experience what Michael did.I know at times he seemed to enjoy the spectacle of it all, but that doesn't give fans cart blanche to treat him like a caged animal and expect him to never complain about it.
K, If that's what you think, however it was Michael's kindness and love of children in particular that ended up making a good amount of his life miserable because his love of children and willingness to help them made him a target.
That "Mommy mommy, it's Michael Jackson" in Privacy doesn't bother me in the least.
And I still believe that some people including yourself would have to be in Michael's shoes to understand. :/
Me neitherI don't find the Privacy intro offensive at all.
Yeah, I can't say that's ever offended me neither to be honest.Me neither
Yeah, I can't say that's ever offended me neither to be honest.
It's becoming a vendetta now. You're on a hate crusade.
I think we need to all cry at the same time tonight. Hows 10.30pm for you?
