Yeah see? OG right there. You met him . You knew how it was before 2009 . That's what i mean ! they don't get it . Lack of integrity and respect .. It's so sad.
I'm sure Michael hated leaks because he was still alive and working on those songs. Of course he was destroyed, he was a perfectionist and always wanted to deliver a 100% product.
No. He never did that. He was notoriously against letting the general public hear his music before it was finished, hence why the 2001 special editions only include finished tracks.
No. I’m sure he would have reservations and opinions about the state in which his unreleased music was handled, but I am more willing to believe that he would approve of albums like Michael and Xscape long before he would approve of a fan stealing from one of his engineers.
I know , you were one of the dedicated fans who actually were there. your name says it all too, i know , i try n tell them but they don't listen nor care.
"before it was finished"
I stole their earbuds because I needed to listen to something. I left em on the rooftop. Figured I'd need it again though so I'll be back for em.. is this bad?
I'm pretty sure we can all speak in Michael's name and say that he wouldn't approve of a CRIME. Stop debating this.
I'll find it later.
Excuse me?
Why didn’t he release them himself then? He had plenty of opportunities—single B-sides, tour singles, reissues, compilations. He even went out of his way to stop Sony from releasing any of the leaked Thriller outtakes on Thriller 25, despite the fact that they were finished tracks that he hadn’t bothered with after the fact.
Then what’s your angle? If we can’t say with any certainty what Michael would have wanted, why are you then saying “he would have wanted his fans to hear his music” and “he would have hated what they’re doing to his vault”?
At this point? Not quite. Feels like you're complaining about the estate, that's its own topic really.
I guess it makes sense that he didn't want to release unfinished songs. I mean, why would he. So we know what he wanted during his lifetime, but what did he want after he was gone? I believe those are two different scenarios and people keep mixing them up. Let's just make a thought experiment. Let's say Michael is alive and we, as a community of fans, collectively ask him this question:
You know what's really scary? I'm sure some of them actually made a conscious choice not to listen to leaks.
and he would say ..."hmmm?"
" Ohh, i love my fans more, Silkysnare, tell me @SilkySnare snare how long have you been a fan? "
this is when hes ears would prick up he might roll his eyes ...you might have got him vexed slightly cos he knows you are NOT speaking for everyone here . he probably not like your name either.
Nope , offended now , hes gone now. out the room.
Youd be standing there , alone
speak for yourself i listen to more music than just m .
Bro, who cares anymore. Not making any of us feel guilty for listening.
