Talking about Victory, Wait would have been a #1 smash with MJ on the lead.I agree. Also, MJ singing the lead on "The Hurt" would have elevated the song.

It is that serious. Now you die.

This is really tough, there's so many great songs on both records. Easily the best output from The Jacksons. You can see Michael coming into his own as a songwriter.
Shake Your Body vs Everybody was so tough, I love both. I went for Everybody because I prefer Shake Your Body live.
That's What You Get For Being Polite is so underrated by the way, nobody ever mentions that song
I have always wondered what would have the Victory album sounded like if A) the Thriller video hadn't been released (and the Thriller album itself hadn't received an astronomic push in sales) and B) Jermaine hadn't joined the group.Talking about Victory, Wait would have been a #1 smash with MJ on the lead.
I didn't even know that site had a message board. I certainly couldn't care less about their members.I was a member there years ago. I find the users there overall to be elitist. Michael Jackson isn’t much liked over there.
I think the less time you spend on that site they attribute less weight on your rating. This was done to counter artist‘ fandoms to artificially elevate their fave artists ratings.I didn't even know that site had a message board. I certainly couldn't care less about their members.
I just mean from a purely number-crunching point of view. If the goal is to get pov-confirmation from as many people as possible, as this thread seems to be doing, you're always better getting more votes than less.
It's not even a site you need to go back to - it's literally do it once then forget you ever did it. I just went back for the first time since before 2020.
The best version is the album one.No, what.
Have you even heard this version? It literally has MJs vocals added in.The best version is the album one.
Yes, I have. I think that part is best left off. Hence my preference for the album version.Have you even heard this version? It literally has MJs vocals added in.
It's ok. It doesn't need a new site format. It's lists albums, it has millions of votes. Job done.The site is a mess, it is old and complicated. They have been working on a new site for over 10 years, many people donated money for it but it seems like nothing really moves forward.
And if we're honest, if Invincible was sung by somebody else apart from MJ, that's exactly the score we would give it as well.Invincible is appropriately rated at 2,79/5, it didn't even make the top 1000 best off list in 2001
