Free Music Notes for Number OnesFree Music Review: Redundant Compilation! You Don't Need This! Hit: 3 StarsAlright, with the release of yet another hits compilation, I am almost convinced that Michael is truly washed up. If you are a fan of Michael, you probably made better customized CDs than this weak offering by Sony, and that's still the BEST route to have the Ultimate Michael collection on CD. I refuse to buy the same old songs every couple of years because Jackson's recent projects failed (in sales & creativity), and this new compilation contains songs that DIDN'T reach Number One on Billboard's Pop Chart (Earth Song, You Rock My World, Break Of Dawn). Don't get me wrong, Michael was the man, and we all know the classics by heart, but this new CD (with 4 different covers to choose from, wow!), should be overlooked, but I would recommend buying the CD single for the new track, 'One More Chance' (perfect title for a Michael song at this point!).
Free Music Review: An amazing artist and musician, no matter what.. Hit: 4 StarsThis compilation is well worth the price and a must-have for anyone who's a fan of Jackson's music.... The 'Thriller' album was amazing, and after buying it on CD I didn't intend to buy a greatest hits type compilation but the songs on this one are so good.
Free Music Review: Number Ones????? Hit: 4 StarsAfter HIStory,and the recent Greatest hits,MJ releases a new hits collection of his number one hits,following Elvis and The Beatles. So is it worth it?Yes and No.There's no denying MJ's influence in pop music,even in these waning days of his career.Unfortunately there has yet to be a compilation of his music that's essential.This collection has edited versions of some songs(Don't Stop....,Thriller,Black or White,You Rock My World)a new song(One More Chance)and even a live version of his first ever Number One song "Ben".Missing is the number one duet with Paul McCartney,Say,Say,Say. Hopefully one day MJ will release a two CD set containing non-compilation material such as Off The Wall,Human Nature,PYT,Say,Say,Say,Another Part Of Me,Jam,Will You Be There, & Butterflies.Then it'll truly be essential.
Free Music Review: Leave him alone Hit: 3 StarsThe song One More Chance is his best work since Bad. The single alone is worth the price of the cd.
Free Music Review: Good idea that is poorly executed Hit: 2 StarsA album including #1 hits in the US and UK should include ALL the number #1 hits although one can understand why "Say Say Say" isn't on the cd (bad blood between Michael and Paul). Instead this collection features some #1s and songs that didn't make it to that position on either the US or UK charts. A perfect track listing for a #1s set for MJ would consist of the following songs: Ben; Don't Stop Till You Get Enough; Rock With You; Billie Jean (12" version); Beat It; I Just Can't Stop Loving You; Bad (12" version); The Way You Make Me Feel (12" version); Man In The Mirror; Dirty Diana; Another Part of Me (US #1 R&B hit--12" version); Black or White; You Are Not Alone; Earth Song (UK #1); Blood On The Dance Floor (UK #1); One More Chance (New song) and another new song lifted from the vaults
