Its a great song

I love some of the unreleased songs on the Ultimate Collection boxset, have you heard them StarSupernova?
Yes. I think 'Fall Again' is lovely. I remember when I heard it on 'Maid In Manhattan'. I thought it sounded familiar and then I remembered. Lol

I like 'If You Don't Love Me' too. It's nice and upbeat. Have you heard 'Do You Know Where Your Children Are'? That's a good one. Plus 'State Of Shock' with Freddie Mercury.

Its is a lovely song agreed! I adore Sunset Driver, so pleased that was included in the MJ Experience game lol

I do like those songs I love the other collab they did called There Must Be More To Life Than This, apparently they were going to get released with the other Queen remasters this year but it didn't seem to happen lol

Yeah. I'd love to seem them released. Brian May did an interview earlier in the year and he said they may be released but he was pretty vague about when and I think Roger Taylor also mentioned them. You would think considering it's Queen's 40th year they'd release something like that but maybe one day.

He's won the NME greatest singers of all time pole
I can't believe Michael won this poll! Makes a change from the snobby Indie biased nonsense. Nobody can/could sing to the heart like MJ.

The Immortal album is out today as a one disc or a two disc deluxe edition. I wasn't going to bother buying it but I've heard about 5 of the mixes and they're pretty good.

For me personally, I think Will You Be There is perfection! It's musically diverse, emotional, truthful...I could write a whole essay analysing this song!

So who watched Spike Lee's BAD 25 documentary at the weekend?

Interesting (and stupid) review here. Writer seems to have missed the point entirely. Some of the comments under it have taken him to task though in particular those from 'Colette' and 'PB'. Can't be @rsed to register with The Telegraph otherwise I too would have given the hack, I mean 'author', a piece of my mind...

Watched it last week, and just read the Telegraph review there now... It's like critics can't accept Michael Jackson documentaries that are so focused on the music, as opposed to the man. I loved the documentary precisely because it was a perfect addition to the understanding of Michael's amazing music, just like the Man In The Music biography by Joseph Vogel (which you should consider buying if you want a full-depth analysis of Jackson's entire back catalogue)

I too never knew it was on until my friend rang less than an hour before the end...to alert me. Watched what was left then had to catch the rest on iPlayer.

Yep. One legend to another, Spike Lee has done MJ proud....

I'm watching it now in iPlayer, it's very good so far. This is exactly the sort of documentary I've been waiting for, interviews with the people who helped create the music and the videos rather than talking to David Gest or the spoonbender.

Finally we get a FACTUAL documentary about the man's creative side which isn't littered with rumour, gossip, conjecture nor innuendo and idiots get on their period about it - go figure.

Yeah, Got to be there is one of my all-time faves of his too. For some reason it makes me almost tearful as it evokes very powerful memories for me. Glad someone else rates it as highly as I do.

I love Michael despite the fake vocals. This Is It the song? It's nice. Immortal? No idea.

This Is It - A tag along to the film This Is it. Nothing new we've really heard.

Immortal...fantastic live show and even better remixed soundtrack! Some of the mixes are just sublime!

Michael - I refuse to acknowledge that album but only acknowledge about 4 songs. That album was the biggest cock up I think his estate will ever make!

Xscape - A HUGE improvement on the last unreleased songs offering! Brilliant contemporized songs and even better (in most cases) demo versions on the deluxe edition

He's also my biggest inspiration in life!
