I looked for this song forever and a day. It's so tragic yet so beautiful as well. So happy I have been reunited with this masterpiece! R.I.P. the King <3
I think Michael voice is amazing, he can make any song sound good. This song is nice yet a little sad. I miss Michael I wish he was still here. Nobody will ever be as good or better than Michael Jackson. ( The king of Pop. )
man,i just heard this song for the first time saturday and can't get it out of my head.i'm a big michael and the jacksons fan and i'm 41yrsold,must admit i'm somewhat ashamed of myself,but this song is so hot!!!
GREATNESS ........... my #1 song.... but i have a problem, and being that i do music, and i notice something, they say that the "MICHAEL" album was incomplete, and patched up, i beleave so, cause if you listen to "HOLD MY HAND" with Akon .. around 2:58, you will hear something familiar from this song "POLITE" 3:48 "myfav part on this song . Altho michael can resing anything he did once before, but in this DIGITAL world , it can be done ... its to dead on in HOLD MY HAND, that song is nice but !
Nobody today is even in this league. It's not that they don't have the potential; but they don't have the mindset. No Black male performer is in this head space. Hip Hop has shackled their brains.
@Brilliantbeing even tho i agree with you, hip hop is probably still the better, more harder edge, and creative styles around. Its the other forms of music that have sold out to the devil, and do whatever they are told, killing every ounce of creativity from music. Music is dead at the moment.
I LOVE THOSE CHORAL HARMONIES. The stupid thing about it with R&B and Soul and there Mother being Gopsel with the call and answer response. WHITE people could tolerate that. They even took Black Gospel to the Southern and Appalacian white church goers. They just wouldn't let the inventors of the GOD FEARING PEOPLES progress as a nation or let them eat with them. Segregation was just WRONG. One thing The JACKSONS did was to make it ok for white teenagers to have black idols.
This is seriously my favorite Michael song. I remember two years ago listening to this at a party where I was alone and the music just carried me away. something about this song just gets to me. Is it that piano bit in the beginning? Michael's dulcet voice? The lyrics make me want to cry. Poor Jack! I want him to have the girl! It is so cool he co-wrote this.... Thanks for posting!
Cannot believe it is nearly a whole year since the good man departed from this earth. Hope you're resting well Michael, we miss you badly man, we really really do
my aunt gave me this album when i was a kid and i still have it along with the Thriller and Bad albums. i have them now all on cd's but i love this album and i love this song. it's on my mp3 now. i miss him so much.
I agree with Dewski 1316's comment and to same difference,can u post more info on that magazine info with the interview with PHARRELL WILLIAMS and M.J. please,thank u.Respect to u both.
This is my jaaaaaam from the Destiny album when I was in Junior High School in the Boogie Down Bronx! We played this album until the record player needle actually broke! I was in loooove with MJ and had his pictures from my Right On magazines ALL over my walls in my bedroom. This song STILL sounds just as good today. I'll always love and miss you Mike!
It's not about Jermaine, or any of the other brothers, it's about Michael. He wrote in his book saying that this song was to show he didn't live, "in an ivory tower," and he had, "insecurites just like other older teenagers." he didn't write it about his "negetive" feelings toward Jermaine. Unlike jermaines "word to the badd." which is to Michael.
you know how some Michael fans are, they recreate their own history and makeup some wild stories. I have a jacksons friend who think every song is a conspiracy about each other, every michael song has a message to his brothers.....wth??
God. That's what really bothers me. Then I tryy my very best to stay out of it and let them believe what they want but sometimes it gets so ridiculous I have to, you know?
Back in the day I remember whenever this song was about to end on Side A, I'd run and put it right back to the beginning of this song....on itunes, it's in my top 25 at 1500 plays...On the line is number 1 at 6, 000 or something...his voice and the just the musicality...damn!! To think he was what 20 when he and Randy wrote this...then 22 when he wrote another favorite...."heartbreak hotel.." Oh....he was bad! Really Bad!!! Miss you Mike!!
this is one of my favorites... He cries because there is a lack of love.... these lyrics touch my heart.... the thing is... the poet is often one of the greatest truth tellers.... the thing is ...who has an ear to hear?.......he cry's about you and me ...... Michael did more than cry about it... he put truth into action in all his humanitarian efforts... that is an inspirational thing....
It is rather easy to relate to Michael, but yet so hard to understand his situation. You can almost feel the pain and insecurities through this song.
I guess deep down, all he wanted was to be loved and appreciated, just like any of us. I hope Michael knew how loved he was and still is by his family, friends and fans.
R.I.P. my dear. I love you and miss you that it hurts.
PHARRELL WILLIAMS (June 2003 Interview Magazine): I just want to let you know youre amazing, man. What you do to music, what youve done to music, from Billie Jean to Thats What You Get (For Being Polite)—[sings]Thats what you get for being polite.
JACKSON: Oh, you know that one? [laughs]
WILLIAMS: [sings] Jack still sits all alone.
JACKSON: Boy, you know all those ones . . . [hums a guitar riff]
@samedifference I love this SONG :)!! soo good and the album is great as well!! Ive read that interview but I would love to hear it haha xD ! peace <3
OMG! I love this song and i been looking 4 it...thanx for posting this song! O I love the Jacksons but im n LOVE with Michael! R.I.P Baby Boy we love you and you will remain in my heart always!!!!
I like the old pop. Now every song is about i wanna fuck you on the dancefloor or i have the most money or im hardass gangster or something stupid. I also think that autotune should be outlawed so that singers are forced to work on their craft. No one can sing anymore... NO ONE.
i agree...i gave up listening to the radio a few years back...thisis one of my favorite jackson tracks on all time..a great jam...i especially love the end of this song...i think of michael jackson sad and depressed and misunderstood by most of the world...
rest in peace, michael. you were too good for the world. your mother's loving heart and god's gentle arms own you forever...
I'm only 14 and I agree. It makes me sick to my stomach to know what my generation has to go through. Today every songs is about taking things to the bedroom and having sex with people they really don't even know, selling drugs "getting wasted" or the most recent work of stupidity: Friday. That's why I choose the better option. I don't know what I'd do with out these guys!!!(mostly Michael). All of today's artist are unoriginal and incompetent!!
my favorite song from this album "DESTINY" Michael and his 3 brothers ! I will be honored to see them in a concert together !!!! Thank you Michael and brothers Family ! I will forever your supporter even in Heaven Michael you're so beautiful in this album ! Respect to Jackson family and ret in peace Micheal see you later in a different planet !
It's sounds like he's singing about himself but also to himself. He seems kinds of frustrated. I don't really understand who 'Jack' is supposed to be...
Yeah, they would never play this on TV so that people could have empathy for Michael Jackson because he was a human being. They call him that name that starts with J and ends with O because it was to dehumanize him.
lol you really are a loser with no life to seacrh fo as many mj vids as you an to bash you such an idiot its funny get a fuckin life move out of moms basement
first of all no 1 is worshipping him he was human..your attempts to convince ppl he was a bad person on a FAN video however r moot y waste your time?its like convincing an asronaut the moon landing was fake..
No, the moon landing wasn't fake-but Jacko's plastic face was. I wonder how many years his face will be preserved in his tomb. Hopefully, aliens 10000 years from now don't discover it and believe that he represented the human race
I remember back in 1979 at lunch we were allowed to play records during lunchtime, and that was the first time that I heard and fell in love with it. I went and bought the 45, and Shake Your Body was on the other side.....Michael was still a teenager,and probably bought things wanting to impress them and be appreciated for himself; and not knowing what to do as relationships were concerned-they were all very sheltered.....listen to the lyrics, remember what how the times were in 1979......
Somehow, I don't understand because Michael had the love of almost all the girls (and some boys lol) in the world.. but whatever, I be "gettin down" at 2:45 "Jack still, tryna make you happy but ah, Jack still tryna make you happy but ah.."
the song is so sweet..but theres alot of force and truth in the words...longing. he really sang this from the heart. though it sounds pretty theres fustration in there...infact i'm sure theres more than that.
when you put truth into you art people will listen.
This is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS PERIOD. It brings a tear to my eye even moreso now because it's a direct reflection of him, and all people who try to please to no avail.
I love this song i was fifteen when this album came out in Zimbabwe. My sisters and i used to love this song and repeat it i dont know how many times. Now Im 47 and i still like the song very cool but meaningful song. "Thats what you get for being polite, " people always take advantage of those who are polite. Reminds me of Zimbabwe in those peaceful good days.
MY Daughter fell in love with the tune and danced to this for her performed over the weekend in memory of Micheal.Even though most the audience wasnt familiar with the song she still put on a Great show.
I fell in love with this song when I was 15 and it was about 20 or so yrs old then and I'm almost 30 now. The Jacksons and Michael espicially has timeless and ageless music. Michael may no longer be with us in human form; he is in the spirit walking on the real moon. RIP MJ. Love u always. \o/
I remember my brother Ben and I blasting this on the stereo system as soon as our parents left for work in the mornings back home in Ethiopia in 1979. What a life, oh what sweet memories.....ohhh what a loss! MJ ,may God show you how much you ARE loved!
You can't help but go to tears when you listen to this. Oh the memories!!!!! This is such a gorgeous tune and that voice - in the end he was our Mickie, we grew up with him. MJ R.I.P.
Remember how I "discovered" the Jacksons: bored after been left alone in the car (1late '80) raking through my parents' cassettes and stumbled on the 'Destiny' album, the rest is history...(goodbye Boney M, hello the Jacksons). Bought the album last year, can't recommend it enough!
Well, it's a sad day in the world (June 25, 2009) R.I.P Michael Jackson. This is one of my All-Time favorite tunes. Mike brought so much joy to my life. Will Always Love You!!! I'm crying about you.
Michael you rock my world you know you did...♥ this is a good song he like deserves better than what he is barginin 4 it doesnt make since how he is treated but his life may seem full of fun and stuff but its full of depression he just doesnt want to show that he's that hurt he's a sensitive person and he doesnt deserve what he is gavin i♥you michael no matter the case
The first time I bought the Destiny album i was 9 and so 16 years ago after watching the movie I thought it was about Jermaine but i wasn't sure then I was on a website a few years later and there it was
waddya' mean what am I talkin' about?! Mike is singing about Jermaine in a bad way with those lyrics. Listen to the song. It's NOT just music aimeedus. It's personal, negative feelings he had toward his brother for staying at Motown and not going to CBS with his brothers. Maybe you're 2 young to know what I'm talkin' bout. Take care.
You need to get your anger problem in check I asked a simple question and you went off on the deep end. Oh Im not a teenager sweetie Im 26 years old.And didnt know the history behind the song.That is why I asked what you were talking about
IMHO, Mike was indeed upset, I woulda been bitter too. Still, he loved and sympathized with his big brother. It wasn't all about kickin dirt. As is his way, Mike was just puttin his feelins to music.
"He cries about you and me. Know that he deserves to cry."
"Don't you know he cries, don't you know he's scared?"
I love this song. I was too busy snappin my fingers and groovin to really listen to tha lyrics at first too. Bein 29, I too had to do some research when I discovered this song years ago.
Destiny was the first LP I bought when I was a kid, it still sounds ace today!

No, the moon landing wasn't fake-but Jacko's plastic face was. I wonder how many years his face will be preserved in his tomb. Hopefully, aliens 10000 years from now don't discover it and believe that he represented the human race

ok how bout you stick w/ one issue that u feel you personally have with him talk about worshipping

I remember back in 1979 at lunch we were allowed to play records during lunchtime, and that was the first time that I heard and fell in love with it. I went and bought the 45, and Shake Your Body was on the other side.....Michael was still a teenager,and probably bought things wanting to impress them and be appreciated for himself; and not knowing what to do as relationships were concerned-they were all very sheltered.....listen to the lyrics, remember what how the times were in 1979......

Somehow, I don't understand because Michael had the love of almost all the girls (and some boys lol) in the world.. but whatever, I be "gettin down" at 2:45 "Jack still, tryna make you happy but ah, Jack still tryna make you happy but ah.."

the song is so sweet..but theres alot of force and truth in the words...longing. he really sang this from the heart. though it sounds pretty theres fustration in there...infact i'm sure theres more than that.
when you put truth into you art people will listen.

This is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS PERIOD. It brings a tear to my eye even moreso now because it's a direct reflection of him, and all people who try to please to no avail.

I love this song i was fifteen when this album came out in Zimbabwe. My sisters and i used to love this song and repeat it i dont know how many times. Now Im 47 and i still like the song very cool but meaningful song. "Thats what you get for being polite, " people always take advantage of those who are polite. Reminds me of Zimbabwe in those peaceful good days.

I fell in love with this song when I was 15 and it was about 20 or so yrs old then and I'm almost 30 now. The Jacksons and Michael espicially has timeless and ageless music. Michael may no longer be with us in human form; he is in the spirit walking on the real moon. RIP MJ. Love u always. \o/

This is when I first heard Micheal and I knew he was different, especially at the end of the song. No one alive can do that part.

You can't help but go to tears when you listen to this. Oh the memories!!!!! This is such a gorgeous tune and that voice - in the end he was our Mickie, we grew up with him. MJ R.I.P.

Remember how I "discovered" the Jacksons: bored after been left alone in the car (1late '80) raking through my parents' cassettes and stumbled on the 'Destiny' album, the rest is history...(goodbye Boney M, hello the Jacksons). Bought the album last year, can't recommend it enough!

The first time I bought the Destiny album i was 9 and so 16 years ago after watching the movie I thought it was about Jermaine but i wasn't sure then I was on a website a few years later and there it was

Anger is the wrong word. Helpful is more like it aimeepus. I'm glad I was able to enlighten you. Take care.

waddya' mean what am I talkin' about?! Mike is singing about Jermaine in a bad way with those lyrics. Listen to the song. It's NOT just music aimeedus. It's personal, negative feelings he had toward his brother for staying at Motown and not going to CBS with his brothers. Maybe you're 2 young to know what I'm talkin' bout. Take care.
youngpr1est 3 years ago
You need to get your anger problem in check I asked a simple question and you went off on the deep end. Oh Im not a teenager sweetie Im 26 years old.And didnt know the history behind the song.That is why I asked what you were talking about

IMHO, Mike was indeed upset, I woulda been bitter too. Still, he loved and sympathized with his big brother. It wasn't all about kickin dirt. As is his way, Mike was just puttin his feelins to music.
"He cries about you and me. Know that he deserves to cry."
"Don't you know he cries, don't you know he's scared?"

omg, it totally makes sense now...I found this cd at Sam Goody one day and played the hell out of this song and had no idea what it was about...
