this would have been before it became ‘routine’ though. which would have made the emotions more raw and genuine. much like the first time he performed ‘billie jean’.Yeah that would be a good one. Though, we kind of see that in the live performances, especially since he sings it live. He really gets into it. Same for MITM.
Actually I would say he catches the spirit in every live song (but then people are going to complaining oh-he-did-not-sing-them-live)
They were not wrong!apparently a speaker burst into flames during the recording of ‘beat it’. there was too much electrical equipment being used at once. Michael and Quincy saw it as an indicator of how ‘hot’ the track was
This was brilliant. Thanks so much for posting. The guy tells the story really well. Made me laugh.james ingram describes michael in the studio recording 'p.y.t'. would love to see this
This is exactly why I would want to see him record literally any song. Even if he was standing completely still I know it would be dynamic as hell. But it's pretty safe to assume he would be moving a lot and that passion would set the whole place on firejames ingram describes michael in the studio recording 'p.y.t'. would love to see this
Oh this is wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Would have been so much fun to just watch Michael record, totally into the song. I guess that's what led to his signature breathing sounds, he was literally tired from dancingjames ingram describes michael in the studio recording 'p.y.t'. would love to see this
I feel like this too mate. I've never been overly keen on Childhood and Fall Again, but it was a pleasure to watch the master at work in the studio.I'd be pretty happy to see him record anything in studio in all honestly.
Oh yes! Watching MJ record ITC would be such a treat !In the closet
heck yehOh yes! Watching MJ record ITC would be such a treat !
There's a few clips in the Bad 25 documentary.Anything from the BAD era
ThrillerSometimes music gets elevated when an artist performs it or when you see how it all evolved in the studio. When Brad Sundberg in one of his seminars showed footage of Michael performing childhood in the studio we were told it was a very special moment, something goosebump worthy. It makes a difference when we are not only able to hear but also to see facial reactions and emotions while recording or performing music. Unfortunately being the poor chap that I am I was never able to attend one of these seminars so all I got are honest reactions and reviews of those precious moments.
When I was reading one of those reviews here I started thinking which particular song would interest me the most to see studio footage from.
The one track that sprung to mind was "we've had enough". We are not yet graced with a leak or release of the tracks multi tracks or different takes of the song but there is no doubt in my mind that watching Michael recording this stuff in the studio would be awe inspiring and most likely incredibly emotional. There is an anger and confusion in his delivery of the lines that can only be understood when we can watch his emotions evolve and grow during the recording session. Michael always gave 100% when he sang, he never held back, especially not when a song has an important, relevant message like we've had enough. I believe this is one of the songs where you stop whatever it is your doing when it comes on because you immediately hear the emotion in his voice. I wish people oblivious of the song could experience this one day on the radio.
I purely wanted to highlight this track because to my knowledge I never talked about this song on here before. If you know me a bit you can probably fill in other songs that I am hugely fascinated by and the little exposition above could have been written for "be not always" or "someone in the dark" and so much more.
What is your pick?
