Michael Jackson Trial

 He had just finished shooting on a short film for "One More Chance". Michael Jackson landed at Neverland only to find a handful of officers with an arrest warrant. The biggest trial in history Was about to ensue.

 It all started when Gavin Arvizo was diagnosed with Cancer of the Kidney and Spleen. After chemotherapy, drugs, and irradiation, they tried surgery to no avail.

 Gavin had one wish. If he could only see Michael Jackson before he died. The owner of The Laughing Factory make it happen! By just pulling a few strings, a wish had come true.

 Ever since then, doctors were dumbfounded! His Cancer was in recession! Apparently, the joy felt at Neverland Ranch slowly ate his Cancer Cells.

 Did Galven's mother thank him? Well yes! Evidence confirms the whole clan praised Mr. Jackson for being such a wonderful role-model and father-figure. But unfortunately, money got the best of them.

 Janet Arvizo got him just where she wanted. After Bashir's biased documentary, she obtained legal advise. Craftily selecting Larry Feldman(the same fella who represented Jordan Chandler). According to insiders, neither the boy nor his mother were making any sense.

 But thanks be to Thomas Snedden. charges were made on November 20th, 2003. Causing his album sales to drop to the lowest ever since the album Thriller made headlines!

 After the infamous 1993 allegations, many thought Michael was a pedophile. While having no idea how corrupt The Arvizo's were.

Stay tuned for The Trial of The Century!

Gotta gimme That MJ 411

To The Movies

 Confirmed. Michael took his three kids to the cinema in Los Vegas to see Wall-E. A Robotic-Adventure film by Disney's Pixar. They enjoyed themselves as any Rated-G family would.

 The theater was quiet. Just the way Jackson liked it. Only two other families in the outskirts.

 One man recalled...

"There were no disguises and the three kids weren't wearing the masks they've become famous for. Despite the guards, it was just a family trip to the cinema. They all wore red baseball caps. There was me, my stepdaughter and a Japanese couple and their kid-And that was it, so I think Michael must have picked a quiet day to come and see the film. They seemed to enjoy it; Jackson's daughter appeared to like it more than anyone."

They were also spotted the other day watching "Kung Fu Panda".

Emjay On Wheels

 Recently, rumors far and wide have been circulating. that Michael Jackson has been reduced to mush on a wheelchair. Nothing can be further from the truth.

An insider has now set the bar straight. He told Access Hollywood "Michael likes to dress in disguises". And "He is fit as a fiddle"(emphasis added throughout).

So rest assured. The King is willing and able to return! Just be patient.

The King of Pop
 Sony is giving fans a chance to vote for their favorite tracks. To inaugurate his 50th birthday. Each country gets a unique version!

 In addition to thirty tracks(5 of which is previously unreleased rarities), a megamix closes each edition. So far, America hasn't been announced. But could be in the coming weeks.

Stay Tuned!

John Landis & Michael Jackson Working On Surprise

 Well well...it Looks like the man behind Thriller will be once again directing a short film for The King of Pop. To go along with his new album and era. No dates or tittles have been confirmed.

Here's what has been leaked thus far...

 "Landis directed Thriller & Black or White (short films) for Michael Jackson.
Skylover (MJstreet.net) luckily met Landis. He asked him if, despite their financial differences, they are likely to work together again.
Landis answered he is currently working with the King of Pop, and that 'it's a surprise'...

Stay tuned"...

Motown 50: Yesterday, Today, Forever

 Sometime from November-June, Motown will celebrate it's 50th birthday. Here's what I think. Motown 25 is when The Moonwalk debuted, I think Michael might pay them a visit for a comeback(will see)!

And that's all for now. From the Emjay 411 department. Now back to The Michael Jackson Trial.

Hold My Hand

 Akon who earlier collaborated with Michael on Thriller 25 later invited The King of Pop to duet on an anticipated album track "Hold My Hand" for "Freedom" due in October. However, a close associate of Akon's went behind his back and spilled the beans to the public. What's more, this clown actually leaked the track for all to hear on the World Wide Web!

 Try as they might, lawyers could not stop it from circulating across the frontiers of the internet. And so Akon had no choice but to halt plans of an upcoming single and video shoot. Even going as far as to omit it from "Freedom's" final track list.

 Whoever that guy is sure knows how to ruin peoples plans. Yet luckily for you, it's still floating around the internet to this very day.

Other "Invincible" Happenings

Michael Jackson Private Home Movies

 Ironically, Living With Michael Jackson shaded the pop star under more controversy. Due to Bashir's manipulatory behavior, the public eye viewed him even more as a pervert. If Take 2 fails, what will he do?
Suddenly, a light shines at the end of the tunnel.

 Striking the iron while it's hot, Michael teams up with PBS to broadcast a two hour special about the private live of Mr. Jackson. "Michael Jackson Private Home Movies"-Which premiered on Fox Network April 24th, 2003. Many were just aching to discover who he really was inside. Of whom society dubbed "Wacko Jacko".

I've got the special recorded in full. Enjoy and be sure to thank Nicobus.;)

Living With Michael Jackson

 From the Summer of 2002 till January the following year, Martin Bashir conducted a Cribs-style interview on the lifestyle of Michael Jackson. Since reality television started becoming the vibe, maybe this would go beyond Oprah's interview.


Online Videos by Veoh.com

Yet Bashir had a more sinister plan. He would make sure the meeting was spun in his own direction. Leaving out pieces of the puzzle. Consequently, his reputation was left further in shambles.

 So a Rebuttal shot was shown thereafter to straighten out what was left crooked. But only half was shown due to royalty infringement(gimme a break).

 The footage your about to see Contradicts Bashir's manipulated version in oh so many ways. What Bashir says on camera and in private are as different as night and day. Old fans, don't be shocked to find you like him once more.;)

Let me just close with a quote from Michael Jackson...

“Today I feel more betrayed than perhaps ever before; that someone, who had got to know my children, my staff and me, whom I let into my heart and told the truth, could then sacrifice the trust I placed in him and produce this terrible and unfair program.”-Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson's 30th Anniversary Concert

 An announcement was made from Neverland Ranch. He will throw a concert at Madison Square Garden. What's more? All 6 brother were to reunite as The Jacksons! An event no one wanted to miss.

 Within hours, tickets sold out! Not a seat was left vacant within that stadium. Clearly Michael Jackson mania had not left the states as everyone feared!

 This was definitely Jackson's night! "Got To Be There" released in 1971, Marked 2001 as the 30th year of his solo career.

 Seats ran between $1,600-$5,000. But included a carnival before the show. Followed by dinner with Michael Jackson. With top-payers($5,000) receiving an autographed poster with front row seats!

 Many fans were not that impressed as Michael paired up with contemporary artists. Some felt a little disappointed considering the price paid to be there(they wanted Michael and only Michael with his brothers). A few thought his time had passed. Regardless, everyone was ecstatic as Emjay ascended the stage!

 Lately I've been hearing Michael wasn't feeling so up-to-par on those nights. Yet for one to feel ill, he did one heck of a performance. despite back-tracking. Just imagine what would happen if Michael felt great!

 Anyways, here's the complete set below...



Living With Michael Jackson!

What More Can I Give

 While throwing benefit concerts(a.k.a. Michael Jackson and Friends) against the Korean civil war, Michael Jackson had a little chat with the South African Vice President.

 In an intimate setting, both discussed issues of poverty, factions, and dictatorship. The prospect of uniting Korea was an idealistic dream between them. That's where the inspiration was conceived!

 "we discussed the concept of giving, and the words 'what more can I give' kept coming into my mind... we all have to do what we can, to help end the needless suffering in the world".-Michael Jackson

 But the sudden intrusion of terror on September 11th threw a wrench at the project. Plans were quickly arranged for the urgent. On October 21st, 2001 Michael hosted United We Stand: What More Can I Give. The benefit concert included the performance of "What More Can I Give". A song exclusively written and produced by Michael Jackson.

 And so he invited a total of 35 artists for an all-star tribute. Tom Petty, Carlos Santana, N'SYNC, were among many who attended. Including Ricky Martin, Celine Dion, Beyonce Knowles, Usher, Maria Carey, The Hanson's, and fragments of The Backstreet Boys, and Boyz To Men.

 Due to the faud between Sony and the pop star, the single got shelved without further consideration. However, you can't put all the weight on Mottola. The guy who was hired to distribute the record was found to have a shaky past handling gay pornography. Finally in 2003, whatmorecanigive.com gave away downloads to the track.

 In my opinion, Cry and "What More Can I Give" are both some of the finest anthems he ever did. Without tooting his horn, Mr. Jackson is known to give more then Opera Winfrey.

 "I'm not one to sit back and say, 'Oh, I feel bad for what happened to them'. I want the whole world to sing, to bring us together as a world, because a song is a mantra, something you repeat over and over. And we need peace, we need giving, we need love, we need unity".-Michael Jackson

Thank you very much for visiting. Have a great weekend!

One More Chance

 Right before the horrendous news of police raiding Neverland Ranch, Michael Jackson was in the process of creating a video shoot for his new song "One More Chance". A single which would in turn help promote a new remix album and a series of short films from The Invincible Archives. All in one Cassette tape/DVD.

 But as you can tell, Arviso completely ruined those plans. All we got was a single with a promo shoot of fast performances.

 Written by R. Kelly, they both worked on the track 50/50.Although Michael did a lot of the mixing, R. Kelly wrote the whole song himself.

 From the Soulful background trombones to his dynamic vocal ranges and hiccups, Mr. Jackson sure proves he has what it takes to conquer a new generation! It's just too bad his reputation was on the line.:(

One More Chance Lyrics

Uh huh...alright
This time, gonna do my best to make it right
Can't go on without you by my side
Hold on
Shelter, come and rescue me out of this storm
And out of this cold I need someone
Oh why oh why why why
If you see her
tell her this from me
All I need is

One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(One more)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(See)
(One more)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(One more)
One more chance at love
(Alright)
One more chance at love

Searching for that one who is going to make me whole
Help me make these mysteries unfold
Hold on
Lightning about to strike in rain only on me
Hurt so bad sometimes it's hard to breathe
Oh why why
If you see her
Tell her this from me
All I need is

One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(One more)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(One more chance for love)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(One more)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love

And I would walk around this world to find her
And I don't care what it takes no
Why
I'd sail the seven seas to be near her
And if you happen to see her
See tell her this from me

One more chance at love
(Yeah, Yeah)
One more chance at love
(Tell her this from me)
One more chance at love
(Yeah, Yeah)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(Lovin' you)
One more chance at love
(I can't find)
One more chance at love
(Lovin' you)
One more chance at love
(Yeah one more)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(For love)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(Yeah I can't stop)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(Lovin' you)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(I can't stop)
One more chance at love
(Lovin' you)
(Aaow)
One more chance at love
(I can't stop)
One more chance at love

Invincible Session Outtakes

 Here is an exhaustive list of all Invincible tracks that Either was sent to production hell or never quite made the list. According to Rodney Jerkins, there are a heck of a lot of finished outtakes from this session. Enough to fill multiple albums! So I lied. This is by no means an exhaustive list.:)

Fall Again Demo-I knew something spectacular was missing from his latest album! I Just couldn't quite lay my finger on it. I'm glad Michael took time away to be with his sick son. But this track fits in this session like a jigsaw piece. This beautiful Romantic Ballad was co-produced by Walter Afanasieff and Michael Jackson.

Beautiful Girl Demo-I can just see this on a soundtrack for a Romantic movie. Claiming top chart positions worldwide. But for unknown reasons, it was cut at the last moment.

 Michael Jackson and Tito both collaborated on an instrumental take which was also shelved.

The Way You Love Me-Sounds very much like something McCartney would do. With the elegant piano and chirping sound from the forest. I could see this playing right after "Heaven Can Wait" on the album.

We've Had Enough-Originally a candidate for "Invincible", this song was co-written by Carl Sayer Bayer. With a pacifist theme running throughout.

However, the President went beyond Congress in declaring a war in order for oil mongers to run a monopoly. Thus, Michael reworked the lyrics in 2004 to protest the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Shout-Once again, Jackson had a tough decision to make. Between two great songs. 2000 Watts or "Shout". A flamboyant remake of The Isley Brothers 1963 hit. But with Heavy Metal chords and Rapping added to it.

 It did manage to get a spot on his Cry single release(European only).

One More Chance-An "Invisible on film" compilation called "Resurrection" was planed to be released late 2003. Accompanied with an extension of remixed tracks and outtakes from the Invincible album(very similar to how "Blood On The Dance Floor" remixed a lot of History Album Tracks with 5 outtakes).

But infamous allegations hampered those plans into just one single within a greatest-hits-compilation-Number Ones.

Angel-First planned for a now shelved 1999 CD compilation. Then brought into the Invincible sessions. Now as far as I know, it's in limbo.

Do You Love Me-Initially planned for the same greatest hits catalog entitled Millennium. But never made the album tracklist.

That-Not to be confused with That Day. Which was written and produced by That Day Foundation. Yet the nonprofit organization has been begging Michael to record this tune. I'll give you the 411 here[Update: due to his sudden tragic death, I'm afraid it's never].

 Rodney Jerkins, La Shawn Daniels, and Travis Pain each worked on the album track "That" with Michael Jackson.

Do You Want Me-A Dru Hill duet originally scheduled for the album now tucked away in his archives.

I Have This Dream-Not to be mixed up with "I'm Dreamin" which may or may not make the new and upcoming 2009/10 album cut. Neither is it from the now shelved Katrina single "From The Bottom Of My Heart". But meant for the Millennium Compilation as with "Angel" and "Do You Want Me".
Listen to the instrumental below and prepare to be utterly shocked! WOW!!!



Xcape-Didn't quite flow to where the album was going. And so was put aside until the next album. When Michael was on trial, someone illegally leaked the track online. It spread like wildfire!

 At first he was going to sue the company distributing the song. But now I guess he's changed his mind. Since it's still readily available.;)

Edgar Allan Poe-Walter Afanasieff joins Michael in producing a song. All about a famous writer by the name of Edgar Allen Poe. Who composed fascinating poems during the mid-1800's. It has been said he was also making a film based on this character.

On My Anger-The Blackstreet Boys are believed to duet with Michael Jackson on this one.

Seeing Voices-Featuring The Ray Charles Choir. Michael wrote it to help us realize how deaf people cope from day to day. This was before Ray Charles passed away. Below is an instrumental.



The Gloved One-Jointly produced by Sisqo. An R&B producer.

She Was Lovin' Me-Quite possibly another collaboration with 3T. Since Mark C. Rooney is their general producer.

Another Day-A Hard Rock Heavy Metal Metallic beat featuring Lenny Kravitz.

Ekam Satyam-The One Truth-A duet between him and A. R. Rahman. The best Indian film composer of all time. It was advertised as a possible album candidate during Michael Jackson and Friends. This song is bi-lingual(half-English half-India Indian).

Cheater(New Version)-An updated version featuring a post-humorous Rap segment by the Fats.

Chicago 1945-From the "Bad sessions", Michael decided to work on this one more time. But unfortunately, it never made the final countdown.

In The Valley-The same fella who helped produce 2000 Watts with Emjay and Teddy Riley. His name is Tyrese Gibson.

All In Your Name-A duet between former Bee Gee member Barry Gibb. Initially meant to make the 2003 mystery remix album tracklist. Now in limbo. I have a feeling it might be considered for the album hopefully due late this year(or 2009).

Maybe We Can Do It-Featuring P. Ditty.

That Kind Of Lover-A duet of the A1. Featuring Ray Ruffin.

Pressure-Another outtake from "Invincible". May make the list of his fourth-coming studio album. The same can be said of "Seduction" and "The Pain". In which the latter is a duet with the lead vocalist of Boyz To Men Shawn Stockman.

Ride With Me-A Smooth R&B which never was finished but loaned to Brandy Norwood for her "Fullmoon" album.

 And many more where that came from. If all were listed here, Blogger would have a fit.;) But if your really interested, here's an even more extensive list. Visit This Link. Parts of it may be foreign, yet all song tittles are in English.:)

Threatened

 "Threatened" brings us back to the Horrifying days of "Thriller". Played a gazillion times during the month of October. Halloween is what he'll always be remembered for. When everyone danced like zombies.

 Come 1982, Jackson revived a deep-seated yearning for more horror-flicks among us. For the next couple of years, many scary movies hit the big screens. Even a 1987 remake of "Night of the Living Dead" showed a scene of a raggedy Michael Jackson in a Thriller red vest!

 Michael gives a high-tempo Pleasure Island spooktacular. But this time on a more Techno/Pop crunch-Geared for the nightclubs. Snippets of Rod Sterling are heard from the tunes intro, climax, and outro. Creating the illusion of a Twilight Zone episode.

 Besides contributing a fresh Halloween beat, I have a feeling it's a bit personal too. Many gain-sayers who thought Michael was nothing but a freak and a has been, he wanted to prove dead wrong. Notice the ab hominom come the outro. Your nightmares have just begone! Hopefully come late this year(or next year), he'll say it again with glee.

"What you just witnessed could be the end of a particularly terrifying nightmare. It isn't. It's the beginning......."-Rod Sterling

Whatever Happens

 I see Michael wants a little Latino to go on his album. So who does he call-Carlos Santana! The perfect scene of a Wild West Love Song.

 My gut feeling wants to say there was a video outtake. To accompany the unreleased single. But truth be told. He's keeping that info close to his chest.:)

 On some discs, I find the bass cranked-up way too high. Which kinda blurs out the Spanish guitar strings and overall aura. I doubt it was intentional. It's probably a CD glitch.
Now I will close with a quote from the King of Latin Music!

"I was very honored that he called me to work with him and I love the song".

And...

"He was really happy with it".

Whatever Happens Lyrics

He gives another smile, tries to understand her side
To show that he cares
She's consumed with everything that's been goin' on
She says

[Chorus]
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Everything will be alright, he assures her
But she doesn't hear a word that he says
Preoccupied, she's afraid
Afraid that what they're doing is not right
He doesn't know what to say, so he prays
Whatever, whatever, whatever

[Chorus]
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand

Don't let go of my hand
Don't let go of my hand

He's working day and night, thinks he'll make her happy
Forgetting all the dreams that he had
He doesn't realize it's not the end of the world
It doesn't have to be that bad
She tries to explain, "It's you that makes me happy,"
Whatever, whatever, whatever

[Chorus]
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

[Carlos Santana:] Thank you, man!
[Michael Jackson:] Thank you, Carlos!

The Lost Children

 "Seeing them is like beholding the face of God" Said The King of Pop. "Jesus loved children and taught us to be like them. Not childish. But childlike"-Michael Jackson.

 Michael Jackson is well know(even infamous for the wrong reasons) to be very fond of little children. Those so-called allegations never stopped him from fulfilling his dream. To help all the children of the world. He's encouraged us to "Make A Change", even "Heal The World", "Make History" and "Unite Under One Tear". Now Michael petitions the Father to guide all the lost children to find their way back home in a wonderful guitar Ballad that would fit perfectly on a Disney soundtrack(well, at least before the invasion of teeny bop).

 Towards the songs resolution, Michael's children contribute a spoken-word over the beauty of nature. Over a bond fire with his father. While the others played hide and go seek(probably the NYC Choir). Conveying wonders through the eyes of a child. I believe this to be the underlining theme.



Next: Whatever Happens!

Cry

 Continuing his Anthemic humanitarian tradition, Michael Jackson launches "Cry" on December. Following October's Invincible Album release.

 Thanks to Mottola, America never got a chance to taste this song. However, other continents like Europe and Australia enjoyed it tremendously. The B-sides contain an "Invincible" cut(namely "Shout") and a "Bad" outtake "Streetwalker".

 On the morning of September 11th, 2002, Jackson initially planned to air this on all stations in New York City. In sympathy to those who've lost their loved ones in The World Trade Center. But Sony abruptly vetoed the project.

Cry-The Short Film

 I believe this to convey a message on the potential of peace and harmony through the bonds of unity. Symbolized by the holding of hands in single file. If we all just put away selfish ambition, there would be no need of wars, dictatorship, nor socialism. Only A worldwide total democracy of man. Which is truly heaven on Earth.

 But of course we don't live in a Utopian world(as with more power comes more corruption). So the videos theme spurs us on to make a difference. No matter how insignificant, "You can change the world".

Cry Lyrics

Somebody shakes when the wind blows
Somebody’s missing a friend(oh nooo)
Somebody’s lacking a hero
And they have not a clue when it’s all gonna end again

Stories buried and untold
Someone is hiding the truth(Hold on)
When will this mystery unfold
And will the sun ever shine
In the blind mans eyes when he cries

You can change the world(I can’t do it by myself)
You can touch the sky(It’s gonna take somebody’s help)
You’re the chosen one(I’m gonna need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight

If people laugh when they’re feeling sad
Someone is taking a life(Hold on)
Respect to believe in your dreams
So tell me where were you
When your children cried last night

Faces filled with madness
Miracles unheard of(Hold on)
Faith is found in the winds
All we have to do is to reach for the truth, the truth

You can change the world(I can’t do it by myself)
You can touch the sky(It’s gonna take somebody’s help)
You’re the chosen one(I’m gonna need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight

And when that flag blows they’ll be no more wars
And when all cause my God will answer all your prayers (Prayers)
Show the world…

You can change the world(I can’t do it by myself)
You can touch the sky(It’s gonna take somebody’s help)
You’re the chosen one(I’m gonna need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight

You know it just rhymes
[2X]

Why you depending on meeeEEE
[2X]
Just wonderin'

You can change the world

Next: The Lost Children!

Don't Walk Away

 Yet another sleeping giant which would of soared to the top if only there were a single attached. Kind of like an "Invincible" equivalent to "History's" "You Are Not Alone". But Michael had very little control over the powers that be.

 That aside, we are brought back to an "Off the Wall" vibe with a modern engineered farewell Love Ballad mixed-in. You can feel his sincerity as he mourns the break-up of a meaningful bond that didn't quite work out. Could it be Lisa Mari?

 Anyways, this smooth, down-tempo. easy-listening gold nugget will leave you craving for some more Michael Jackson Ballad(Though I don't think it quite fits behind Privacy. Enjoy!



 By the way, this tracks not to be confused with Jason Malichi's "Don't Walk Away" from his recent album "Revelations". I just want to clarify that for you.:)

Have a great day! Next: Cry!

Privacy

 After a soothing R&B Ballad comes a hefty Hard Rock protest. More geared toward Paparazzi journalists. Accusing them of selling their souls for top headline.

 Even going so far as to accuse these yellow photographers of man-slaughtering Princess Diana. As they were on hot trivial pursuit dieing to get a glimpse the queens daughter. Yet, just this past April, The Royal Courts of Justice have confirmed this scenario as opposed to Henry's negligent driving.

 What beats me is the line "On that cold winter night". But Her death occurred on a warm Summers night August 31st, 1997. Could be a play on words. As one losing a close dear friend, his pride and joy was snatched away.

 "Privacy" has much more of a traditional vibe that pulls an amazing stunt of flash-photography and film-strips getting pulled from there sockets and crumbled! In addition, I can feel the melody pour through my vains as the violins synth together and Slash gets down on his solo Medal Guitar! Now this is a Michael Jackson track!



Next: Don't Walk Away.

You Are My Life

 Inbetween such high numbers as "2000 Watts" and "Privacy" comes a slower Disneysque Ballad which would very well won an Oscar had it featured on a film soundtrack! Together, Babyface, Carol Bayer Sager, Michael, and John McClain wrote the lyrics to this beautiful Romantic Soundscape.

 There was an immense struggle when it became time to decide what should go on track #10. It was either "Fall Again" or this. Eventually the latter was favored due to two other love songs which made it("Break of Dawn" and "Heaven Can Wait").

Many there are that have tried to decipher the meaning of the lyrics. However, I feel more inclined to call it a prayer. Or more so a friendship anthem like "Speechless". Maybe he meant it to be subjective. To have several personal interpretations like that of "Will You Be There". I certainly wouldn't doubt it.

 "Taught me by sharing your life" could either refer to the spiritual(Jesus), the ties that bind(friendship), or even a special someone who changed his perspective on life.

 Regardless, "You Are My Life" is a remarkable Ode To Love that has received very little attention or critical acclaim. I just love when he produces stuff like this. A stunt no guy could ever get away with except Michael Jackson.

 This song was dedicated to his children. Just listen.

2000 Watts

Let me give you a brief history on the song.

 Tyrese Gibson had a bare demo tape in his archives. Well as the story goes, Michael invited him to jam on The Invincible Project. While there, Mr. Jackson stumbled across a rough sketch of "2000 Watts".

 Tyrese explained it was an outtake to his up-coming album. Yet Michael through his sense of smelling a hidden gem(that's why they call him Smelly), begged to let him do something with it!

 Tyrese was more then happy to let Michael Jackson finish what he started. So Riley and Jackson reworked the track until the sound was to their liking. On hearing it would make the final cut, Tyrese quickly changed his mind and named his 2001 album "2000 Watts".

 "2000 Watts" was originally inspired by a charity foundation by that same name. Founded in 1997. "2000 Watts" was almost replaced by Shout. Another somewhat irregular vocal track featuring Teddy Riley.

Many thought Invincible wasn't fresh. I agree on a few things(terrible track arrangement). But listening to the likes of "Whatever Happens", "Privacy", and "Cry", I'd have to disagree more. And "2000 Watts" does have somethin' goin'.

 This electrifying hybrid of Techno and Hip-Hop is an innovative feat to Mr. Jackson's credit! A lot of times, I'd rather Michael not overdub his voice. But on this occasion, the voice blends right into the production. Another example is intro verses to "Blood On The Dance Floor".

 There was a rumor going around his unreleased single showed Jackson posing in a room full of electricity. Like something you'd see in a science museum.
