Another one Hates it...

Those who HATE the demo, will you please try to explain why you HATE it?? Would be nice to hear.

Still far off from the 90% that was claimed though. :D
 
I love this song. :D
And the intro with Mike first words (DowDaDaa). :D
 
I'm not too excited about this one. It is Ok for a B side. Would've preferred a Cheater. As for why I don't like it that much, well, the melody and the rhythm are simply not that good. In fact, i liked Happy birthday Lisa better.
 
it is a nice song, but Michael wouldn't appreciate that Sony launched a demo...he always wanted quality!

but it is sweet to hear his voice again:)

Off The Wall - Special Edition 2001, Thriller - Special Edition 2001, The Ultimate Collection, The Girl Is Mine 2008 Single.. All those releases had many Demos. It's much better to release a demo than something similar to MICHAEL album.
 
I love it ! There are all the ingredients for a beautiful song. Rhythm, melody, and harmony...
 
I love to hear / see how the process of creating the Michael worked, the demo is something that puts a smile on my face and I love how it sharpened the creativity of the fans, I really liked the versions fan made who I heard.
 
I can understand why MJ postponed the release of this horrible song.

This ain't strong enough. And yes, I know it's a demo.
 
first listen I didn't like the chorus but I was singing it in my head that day and listened again and it stuck on me!
 
I finally found a copy of the I Just Can't Stop Loving You single at Walmart yesterday. I need to listen to it more but it sounds good.
 
I actually liked it and it stuck in my mind after I heard it but it takes a few more listens more me to love it! :D
 
Don't Be Messin' 'Round is a finished track, but not this one...!!!!!!!!!!

Many fans want to hear demos and finished songs from BAD Era .
If Michael finished the song later then the finished product doesn´t belong to the albums from Bad Era.
 
I really like it! I too started to appreciate it more the more I listened to it. It really has potential imo. I actually like it more than both Cheater and Streetwalker, the two songs from the Bad era that it reminds me of most. Hope we get to hear MJ's later versions too at some point!

SONY has made a great job.

SONY is a buisness - so I really don't get the $ony thing. - Sure they wanna make money - just like MJ wanted, and any other artist. When I go to work I wanna be paid too!

SONY has listened to the fans and gave us what we wanted! -Great job SONY, keep up the good work.

Ahhh I actually love Streetwalker, hehe I like it better than Don't Be Messin' round, but that's probably because i've been playing it for years, it's still a great song despite how long I've been playing it and I'm sure DBMA will grow on me. :p

Thread cleaned of Casico and Sony conspiracy .. Take that to conspiracy forum please
Please stay on Topic .. sorry guys but as you know when Posts are deleted those that
quote or reply fall like dominos _ Back to the DBMR discussion.
 
I don't like it, but still glad it was released as it was. I'm loving the whole Bad25 campaign, the first ever MJ re-release to be handled perfectly.

But as to the song...you can see why MJ never released it.
 
Although you've got to consider it has potential, I mean it's a demo, who knows what a polished version would sound like.:chillin:
 
Even though it's a demo, Mike sings with quite a bit of attitude...Love it!

MJ never released it but he continued working on it untill 2008! And he wrote it for Thriller! He worked on that song for every album so there are probably 5-6 different versions of this song.
 
Really, 'till 2008? I thought the last version belongs to the HIStory era (according to Vogel's article ablout that song)?
