Did anyone else find it weird how Jaafar spoke about Michael and Katherine like he wasn't related to them 😅 it wasn't"my uncle Michael" or "my Grandma Katherine", he spoke like he had to research them to find out about them

I am sure a PR team briefed the hell out of the cast members, especially Jaafar and Juliano since they are new to the business 😅
Not saying it was a good decision, though. The whole interview was not very "deep" or even personal to me. A promo thing.
The setup aka the seating was very odd to me.

The 1981 live stuff appearing chronologically before the OTW tracks hurts me.
 
That was to be expected that the soundtrack will be a best of album the question remains whether Michael sings or jaafar
 
according to other sources, the "Bad" from this album is the 2012 remaster, and the Jacksons tracks are from the 1981 Live album. i suspect no Jaafar on here
 
I'd love to hope the soundtrack is going to be more than..that. First time something other than that original poster has disappointed me honestly.
 
That soundtrack is even worse than I had ever imagined!

I suspect there will be more songs on the album and they’re avoiding certain songs for spoiler reasons. There’s simply not enough songs included for a biopic.

we’ve already seen heartbreak hotel in the trailer , yet it is nowhere to be found on the soundtrack 🧐 No Rock with you?????? wtf I’ve accepted we’re not getting Bad era apart from the title track but come on!

Looks like we’re skipping The Jacksons era completely, no can you feel it , blame it on the boogie , shake your body etc Not even the J5 classic, dancing machine!!!

In comparison to Bohemian Rhapsody's album, it's not good.

IF this is the final tracklist. They still have 20+ minutes to fill up.

Edit - I really don't like that artwork, but the silhouette outlines of iconic poses has been done to death my MJ and the Estate for decades now I suppose.
 
It's what I expected, I wasn't gonna buy it if it didn't include anything extra so I'm not that bothered.

I threw the playlist together. Only 58 minutes.

The soundtrack releases the day of the film. I think they are holding back some songs to have some surprises
