The Official 'Michael' Bio-Pic Thread

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
 
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.

Well...


...I don't really know what else to say 🥲. But we'll see, maybe they will put more songs on there. My hopes are not high, though.
 
The only thing one can hope for is a deluxe edition at Christmas with a few trendy remixes.
 
It doesn’t bother me there are no unreleased songs or that , I’m more concerned at the lack of big hitters in the soundtrack, Rock with you specifically was a big hit and one of Michael’s best singles of his earlier years yet it’s not listed 😬

You could say that the Michael he is portraying on film is very different to the one he knew - Jaafar was born in '96 so most of his childhood memories of his Uncle will be from the period surrounding the arrest in '03 and the trial in '05.

Not to say that he won't be pulling from his own experiences of Michael, but as we all know a lot changed between the '80s and 2000s

I didn't think about it like that mate, that's a really good way of viewing it

With some reflection, I do think it’s a bit silly to expect unreleased music on a biopic soundtrack (and yes, I say this as someone who was insisting there would be lmao). This is clearly aimed at the general audience and/or newcomers, so I absolutely don’t think it’s unusual that it’s essentially a greatest hits album that isn’t geared at the hardcore fans. That said, I do hope these songs are given exciting new mixes à la Bohemian Rhapsody.

Regardless, there’s definitely more coming. The Kirk Franklin snippet; the comments from Humberto Gatica, Brody Brown, and Teddy Riley; Prince’s past comments about combing through the vault, if not the soundtrack, there’s 100% another project in the pipeline.
 
If the soundtrack is a reflection of the songs featured in the film, it's disappointing but not unexpected. Surprised Rock With You snd Shake Your Body aren't on it.

One thing worth noting, the last James Bond film No Time To Die, hid the tracklist of the soundtrack till the last minute because some of the titles might be seen as a spoiler for the films plot and ending
 
If I have to guess, a tiny bit of the Jacksons era will be represented and I'm assuming the 1981 live tracks are supposed to fit that era.

At least Ben gets more recognition than it did in American Dream, sucks that the movie won't cover more of MJ's early solo career or the late J5/Jacksons era in general.

They could have still added bonus songs for long-time fans, then everyone would have been happy.
 
So is this like the this is it soundtrack where its just the regular cuts AGAIN? Or is it reimagining version like this

I'm relieved to see that the reaction to the soundtrack is not favourable. I'm afraid the film could accidently feed into the "he was sh*t after Thriller" argument too.

A lot of people understandably disappointed. It doesn’t cover enough hits. MJ had so many iconic songs but the soundtrack seems to be lacking a bit.

I did laugh after someone posted they were unhappy that you rock my world wasn’t included 😂

They appear to be saving so much for this alleged part 2 that they could end up with less success cause people will be disappointed with the first!
 
So, Man In The Mirror will be saved for pt 2?

The lack of Bad songs on the soundtrack (and if true, the movie) is concerning to me. And it’s not just because of the song but because of what the Bad period meant for MJ as an artist and songwriter. I really hope they do not gloss over the Bad era.
