His approval didn’t mean much. It was a trash project. Horrible remaster of the album and horrible remixes.
Agree! I put that on the heresy thread! I am loving Starlight.Anyway heres a thought to piss everyone offI, for one really adore starlight. I prefer it to Thriller. Should have been called Starlight 40 in an alternative universe.
I do love T25. But now we have T40 .....
I've only listened to Starlight once but I did prefer it to Thriller.
Exact;y zin. Now see that's three. That's three Michael Starlights . Who else are with us lol
"John ...Mr b ...can you announce on social media ...that Thriller should be known be as Starlight ??(like Mike intended it to be /it was originally meant to be?) can we ban all 4 k videos too ? Its all too blue !" . 
? ! "Problematic? Nah, I'm fine with it. I often do prefer demos to the final version, though. Not sure why but there's something so magical about them.We are all problematic Starlight lovers
Um, wend, I thought you liked the 4K? I thought it was just me who doesn't like Thriller 4K.
Same, I always preferred the demos. I'm also a PYT demo lover, the probably most problematic heretic of the heretics.
Yeah It is raw and the creativity is flowing from the artist, It is nice to hear in earphones- Michael demos works so well for that. He always has been fantastical in his demos. Fall again... all of those.
What's the story there?
I never hear anyone in the fandom talking about the song and I was obsessed with it the first time I heard it. So the conclusion here must be, that I'm a truly insane person. Heretic!
Well I was thinking about this , and i thought about it very hard. It does look spectacular and Michael is beautiful you can not take your eyes off the screen yes but after watching it a few times(try 30) the story is not the same. i'm seeing stuff i shouldn't be . Something about it ,and I will have to say the original will carry more atmosphere And above all, it is not the finished version he saw in his art.
That is definitely part of it. The producer isn't involved yet or only minimally. There isn't a big 'production' all around the song yet.
I do think I've noticed something different about Michael demos compared to others I've heard over the years. We're on a whole other level.
Before Friday I don't think I had ever knowingly listened to a leaked item. But I don't feel bad about it. Not at all. If anything I'm feeling freakin' bolshie!
I don't prefer the demo every time but often I do. They def capture something special. The final version can gain a lot but it always loses something, as well.
I hate the estate with a passion!
um ...
er ...
this is the problem I have. For Thriller 4K (haven't watched Beat It bar the first few seconds) the spookiness is all gone. All the terror and fright, all the atmosphere, all the night-time darkness and eerieness and whatever - all gone. Tbf, I only watched twice bc that's all I could stand but ... nah, not for me. Everyone else seems to be pleased so that's really great but it's not for me.
This I don't know about. How much variation did they create with the lighting etc? I guess we'll never know. Unless someone asks John Landis or the director of photography the right questions. Who was in charge of lighting the set? Can someone interview them about stuff?
The ending to your post .....I know. This is such a horrible subject and your post is truthful yet painful cause i know i will never get to listen to any dangerous 40, D50, D100 (and you can forget about any invincible )demos etc but what if they do release everything? We will be happy , be elated... then what ? What will the future fans listen to?. What will they have? We will have literally wiped Michael off the planet by being selfish then. Its not about us .
Well we will never know unless John Landis speaks about his experience and even so, even though i value John's opinion/storys/ memories ...Its not Michael's.um ...

I'm not sure if we'll ever know what Michael's exact preferences were since no-one ever bothered to properly interview him about his work. Or so it seems to me.
I'm too tired to look this up but I think it was. It had a one-week cinema release (cannot remember the year) in various locations and I'm sure it was 3D. Plus, don't forget, the TII stuff for Thriller was going to be in 3D. They had the glasses. There's that shot of Travis and Stacey wearing them. So I think Michael was totally up for 3D. He was always interested in tech advances as far as I can tell.
Thriller 3D, here is a thread. Haven't read it - 16 pages! - but from the first few posts I looked at it does seem as if Thriller did make it into 3D. I was pretty sure it had.Also there is no mist in Thriller 4k if that makes sense.

They were all such slugs n leeches. asking dumb questions now we are the ones looking dumb.
Oh no, I wasn't necessarily suggesting that people try to contact John Landis via social media or any other way. I think if he wanted to talk about this stuff he's had plenty of opportunity to do so over the years. He has been interviewed about Thriller but if he wanted to say more he certainly could do so. He could even have written something by now. Has he? I'm not aware of anything.Its why i direct and blame my anguish and sorrow to the people who could have used their time constructively with him , if they wanted to . Ms Winfrey im looking at you
Actually John Landis could really be our starlight here ...a glimmer of hope maybe? ...if John has a twitter , does he? Is he on social media ?If so Could someone maybe ask John Landis all those questions which zinnia and i wonder here, and what he thinks of What Michael might have thought of the 4K? revelation. JOHN, THE FANS NEED YOU !!
zin youve got a brilliant point here. thankyou @zinniabooklover
They just released thriller for 100th time... I have my original, Japanese, thriller 2001, thriller 25, thriller sacd, thriller 40.....6COPIES OF THE SAME ALBUM. Trust me! nobody will miss out on anything. We've seen thriller for 40years in the same crappy quality & I've read several comments including myself of ppl crying as if they had seen it for the 1st time. So for future fans & new kids that still discover him for the 1st time on tiktok & youtube will still have the same impact. Mj is gone so idk why would the public to keep expecting new music for the next 20-40years from now. There is no new elvis music from my knowledge from the past 20 or 30years. Mj will always be well preserved & even without promotion...mj is still doing numbers & being shown everywhere. It's his own estate that's trying really hard imo tearing down his legacy. It's not about being selfish. If the general public gave a damn like we do then they'll be in this forum as well instead of saying how cute he was & how they love him. I'm starting to think they are bots as well because it's like that only in his comment sections. But back to subject...they will have plenty to discover. I do kids parties all the time & still can't fathom the thought of how they know him & have the effect he does & why the parents even hired me.
unfortunately, I can’t attend these events for many reasons that are all personal I am living through these vlogs from fans that did though
