I'm not saying MJ didn't approve of the guy. I'm saying MJ approving of such an unexciting, no-name rapper, not once but thrice on the same record, just shows how little MJ cared, or how much his instincts had abandoned him.
But “LTB” and Aquil Davidson are fine?
Again, those were short, quick bursts of rapping, they were great, and each guy was used once. Also, LTB was producer Bill Bottrell, so it was both a gag and a mystery.
The Fats raps are each 8 bars long, and last around 20 seconds. They’re the same length as the rap portions of “Black and White” and “She Drives Me Wild.”
I said it was an example of Invincible getting even the little things wrong. Even the raps were lame.
I never liked Patti Austin on It's the Falling in Love, they shouldn't have made the song a duet at all.
I think Siedah is wonderful, but let’s take a moment to mourn the loss of Whitney Houston on that song. I’ll never forgive her label for rejecting that offer.
I do often wonder what a Whitney version would've been like. I wish they at least did an onstage duet or something at recorded party or something. She did spend time at Neverland so who knows...they might just have a song somewhere out there. Maybe in the storage
Hahaha. Yes. Let’s not forget the Black or White rap which was done by Bill Bottrell. I guess Michael didn’t care for that one either.
The staccato vocal style (which wears out one's vocal cords) that he had adopted from the 'BAD' era onwards also contributed to his raspier, more hoarse voice on the 'Invincible' album.
Her label (Arista Records) did the right thing for her at that time.
Gotta disagree here. Participating in the follow-up to the best-selling album of all time would have been incredible promotion. It wouldn’t have “overshadowed” her in the slightest, in my opinion.
He wasn't exactly unknown. Aquil was a member of the group Wreckx-n-Effect, who had a few hits in the USA
That would be another sharing with Jermaine.
Iman was in his !984 Do What You Do music video before Remember The Time a few years later. Jermaine & Whitney recorded several songs together. On a related note Jermaine & Whitney recorded the first version of Don't Look Any Further, but it was never released. It later came out as a duet by Dennis Edwards (from The Temptations) & Siedah Garrett, which was a R&B hit and has been sampled a lot of times.It would have certainly overshadowed Whitney Houston.
How is that? At the time Whitney's 1st album (1985) was the biggest selling debut album in history. She was already big before Bad even came out. Her 2nd album Whitney debuted at #1 on the Hot 200 & R&B album chart. That was when very few albums had done so. Whitney also had 7 #1s in a row on the Hot 100, the first act to do so.
Oh, I see.
Haha, So now everytime I catch a cold from my kid, I have one more reason to feel like I failed as a parent, did not develop strong enough antibodies!!
Can I please meet those parents whose stress levels went DOWN! after having kids so that I can learn how to stop running around like a headless chicken trying to get everything working at home!!
Me, I love Privacy and 2000 Watts
