I actually quite like the track, altho with modern technology they could have 'cleaned up' Jackson's vocal a bit- it is clearly a demo vocal. |

Michael's body of work was always fabulous and always going to be boosted by his death (as they said when Elvis died - "great career move") but Sony are doing it so wrong it makes me flinch.
As for the new model - nobody has gotten close yet. We all know it's needed, we all know the majors are doomed but nobody has yet worked out a viable alternative.
Though www.VilePervert.com is a pretty good start. |

For all the claims of a new model, you guys are still dinosaurs and still in the clutches of the "hit" model.
Sony have played a blinder here. It is all about the body of work, building a relationship and maintaining interest in the artist. The song does NOT have to be great or a hit.
As for me I love the track. I love 99% of what Michael does musicwise even the so called dud tracks. Get over yourselves.
The new model is relationship driven. |

I'm quite certain that the executors of the estate have the legal obligation under the law to maximize the outcome of the estate. Unless MJ had exact stipulations regarding not releasing recordings that may be found/or exist, then this is going to happen. So it may not be Sony. Not that they are objecting to making money.
Another example of fine print to be aware of for artists and songwriters. |

It's fairly pleasant and holds my attention for the first quarter of the song, after which I slightly lose interest but might hum along carelessly to it in the background. |
