Course it's not invalid. He didn't specifically refer to music and it was also tongue in cheek. Plus we are in a new century now anyhow

I actually heard another interview with Quincy and apparently he did get his way on shortening the intro to Billy Jean. I guess Michael wanted it to go longer because he felt it made people want to dance. I'm glad Michael gave in to Quincy on this one. Quincy also went on to say that he thinks Michael didn't trust his judgment after and around "Bad" because Quincy was involved with producing rap albums and Michael felt rap was dead. This was around the late 80's early 90's when rap was actually on the verge of exploding. It's a damn shame Michael didn't stick with Quincy longer, I bet they would have continued making magic together.

I agree with that.

Dangerous was the first album I ever owned (owned, and not stole from my sister anyway) and I have to admit that I was a bit gutted when I saw the first sources confirming his death start to filter through to Sky News. I've been listening to a lot of MJ since.

If i were asked to name my favourite songs I would find it an impossible task but Beat It would be one of the very few that would be definites.

Agreed. I liked the interview he gave to the press at the BET awards when he was banging on about how close he and Michael Jackson were. Now, I don't know either of them but somehow I think he may be fibbing...

Most of the family members seemed very insincere.

Jermaine and Janet didn't, I'm not sure if i've heard or seen anything from any of the others though.
