I hadn't read the list and what he wrote before posting, and a lot of it is off base; the descriptions don't even match the rankings (he praises "The Way You Make Me Feel" but puts it below songs he criticizes).
Still, "Heal the World" is pretty terrible...

Beat It and Man in the Mirror should be top 10.

The list is like a massive stroke of ego by the writer, yet at the same time he seems to be bored with it. Can't believe Girlfriend is so high compared to songs like It's The Falling In Love or Burn This Disco Out from the same album!

"Blood On The Dance Floor X Dangerous (The White Panda Mash-Up)" randomly debuted on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart last week at #47.
It's now moved up to #41.
I hope it can make it all the way to #1. Diana Ross recently topped the chart with a new version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" so I think he has a shot.

I read about a possible new song with Bruno but didn’t realize there would be an album too. Stoked either way.

Just release more demos instead. These "All The Way" type duets are always odd.

I wonder if Michael was still alive right now if he'd be putting together another "Heal The World"-type anthem. We need music like that to heal us right now :(

That's rich. The man found GUILTY of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson has the gall to lay into Joe Jackson now that he's dead? Not saying that this isn't true (who knows if it is and for that matter who cares) but enough already, honestly. Let both men rest in peace.
"I hope Joe Jackson finds redemption in hell." Yeah, you too Conrad.

www.rollingstone.com/music/ne...-duet-20140919Hear Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury's Long-Lost Duet"There Must Be More to Life Than This" is one of three unreleased tracks on upcoming compilation 'Queen Forever' By Andy Greene | September 19, 2014 Thirty-three years after they first began work on the track, Queen will finally release "There Must Be More to Life Than This" - featuring vocals by Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson - on their upcoming compilation album Queen Forever, which hits shelves on November 10th. The song was written during the Hot Space sessions, but they never finished it and Mercury eventually released his own version on his 1985 solo debut Mr. Bad Guy. Producer William Orbit, best known for his work on Madonna’s Ray of Light, was brought in to finish "There Must Be More to Life Than This." "When I first played it in my studio, I opened a trove of delights provided by the greatest of musicians," he said in a statement. "Hearing Michael Jackson's vocals was stirring. So vivid, so cool, and poignant, it was like he was in the studio singing live. With Freddie's vocal solo on the mixing desk, my appreciation for his gift was taken to an even higher level." In contrast to Mercury's solo, stripped-back version, the new Orbit-produced version adds strings, guitars and a lot more bombast. Queen Forever will also feature a new version of "Love Kills," which Mercury recorded with producer Giorgio Moroder for a restored version of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis in 1984. "They took out all the disco production and turned it into more of a traditional Queen arrangement," says Adam Lambert, who played the tune with Queen on their summer tour."It's an amazing song, very dramatic and powerful with a beautiful melody." Also appearing on Queen Forever is "Let Me in Your Heart Again," a Brian May-penned tune that dates back to the sessions for 1984’s The Works. Mercury put down a vocal track, but the song was never finished. May and Roger Taylor recently went back into the studio to record new guitar parts and backing vocals. The LP will be available as a 20-track single CD and an 36-track two-CD set. Skipping obvious hits like "We Will Rock You" and "Bohemian Rhapsody," the collection focuses on lesser-known tunes like "Mother Love," "The Miracle" and "Drowse." Queen and Adam Lambert wrapped up their 2014 world tour with a show in Auckland, New Zealand on September 4th, but future shows remain a possibility. "I’m definitely down," Lambert told Rolling Stone in June. "I’m having so much fun." Here’s the complete track listing for both editions of Queen Forever. I was looking on Jackson's Wiki page and I was really shocked that I completely missed this. Can't wait to listen to it later today:

Sony reportedly admits it faked several Michael Jackson songs on posthumous album Ryan Gaydos By Ryan Gaydos | Fox News

Sony Music Entertainment reportedly admitted this week to releasing three fake songs on a posthumous Michael Jackson album.
The songs “Breaking News,” “Monster,” and “Keep Your Head Up” appeared on the album “Michael” in 2010 and were sung by a King of Pop impersonator, according to Vibe.
Vera Serova, a fan, first brought up the allegations in 2014 and filed a class-action lawsuit against the album’s producers, according to Vulture. The songs were actually performed by Jason Malachi, Serova alleged at the time.
According to TMZ, he confessed to taking part in the recording back in 2011.
Jackson’s longtime friends, Eddie Cascio and James Victor Porte, initially claimed they recorded the songs in a basement in 2007, but failed to back up their claim.
Serova noticed dozens of inconsistencies with the songs and used an audiologist to back up his own theory, according to a hip-hop website.
Sony claimed in court it had the right to advertise the album as Jackson’s despite using the impersonator, according to Vulture. A court will decide the label’s culpability in the next few weeks.
