Love both versions. Girls, it's a shame you had to go stateside to be appreciated here in the UK. Flying the flag for UK Soul/R&B... SE5!!! I'm South West but big you up same way!!! Love love love
I always liked this song but I wasnt used to MJ's voice after 1:46. It was uncomfortably high pitched for me. She sounds a little more natural. I still can't deny that brother rocked this song just as hard. 2 beautiful versions of a beautiful song.
@XxYELLABUNNYxX This is actually only Marsha Ambrosius. Natalie "The floacist" Stewart is not on this song. "Butterfiles". & yes, Marsha's background vocals are in MJ's version
Marsha Wrote it, recorded a demo in the 90s w/o Natalie. MJ heard this exact demo before She got a chance to evolve it into a Floetry song & he reached out to her to record it for 'invincible'. she let him record it.
She didn't write it for him. he heard this demo that was later put on Floetry's Debut CD as a bonus track
Wow I never heard this version before today. MJ was truly a musical genius he mimicked her voice and tone and harmonies perfectly. Same notes and everything...beautiful.
Yep, she wrote the song for Michael, and he recorded it for his album. There are still so many differences between the two even though they sound so similar - but Michael's just has that 'something'. It's his song. Great for Floetry, they're very talented.
Extremely classy video tribute to a few of the finest entertainers God has graced this Earth with..........not to mention a GREAT song to accompany the video! It saddens me that Floetry are no longer a duo. This is excellent, quality music......composed by 2 extremely talented young ladies whose abilities seemed to mesh into something uniquely special. Floetry will be missed.
Actually, it was Marsha's song, she wrote and produced it, and put it on the Floetry demo, and Mike Jack heard it and was blown away. Rightly so, cause they both got skillz
does it really matter whose version was better??? they collaborated on this song... i mean overall it is mike's song lol he just decided to sing it as well as give the song to them. both songs are beautiful. its more about the words than anything that makes this song so beautiful
@briehubaby marsha (the songstress) wrote this song and recorded this demo. michael loved the song so much that he wanted to sing it. this is the original version.
I love the tribute angle to the video. A memorial to all the talented performers we have lost too soon. Brilliant. 5* and 2 thumbs up. I am gonna sub just based on this video.
all u gotta do is just walk away and pass me by dont agnologe my smile yea when i try to say hello to you and all u gotta do is not answer my calls when im tryna get through to keep me wondering why and all i can do is sigh i just wanna ohh ... chorus I just want to touch and kiss and i wish that i could be with you tonight you give me butterflies inside inside and I.... verse 2 all i gotta say is i must be dreaming cant be real your not here with me i can feel u near to me
Contrary to popular belief they did not write this for MJ....he heard their demo and loved it.....and Marsha actually did background vocals for MJ's Version.....both versions are beautiful!
Silly folks... although MJ's version is great.....check the credits... MARSHA is the sole writer and producer of this... so i beleive it was MJ who paid her....
@killuminatiplz probably nothing considering michael had them in the studio co-writing and helping with the melodies on his track. its just as much their song as it was his..
I like this video and song. I like how u add the pics in there. The ones that are no longer with us. Just remember that one day we will be with them one day.
Man I love This Song Omgggggggggggg R.I.P MJ he did his thang on this song mah all tyme favorite mike song yeaaaaaaaaaaaa and i love this verison by marsha ambrosius she is extremely talented im so glad she wrote this song and she sound amazing omgggggggggg
Yep top song from Floetry and the fact the wrote it for MJ also helped bring attention to them too so everyone wins all round. Just a shame Floetry aint rocking it together anymore :(
actually it was Floetry song first. They gave MJ rights to sing the song and taught him how to sing those high pitch notes in the song with his voice.
umm they didnt teach him how 2 sing those high notes. yea dey gave him da song but how dey gonna teach him how 2 sing a certain note wen MJ was singing b4 dey were even born. In fact he was a lead singer at da age of 5!
Effing... beautiful... by far one of the best tracks on INVINCIBLE... (listener since the release).... it may be greedy to say so, but i believe there are cuts unparalleled in that archive of the man's.....too bad his record company prolly killed him off... it's a damn shame. ...they'd been "talking' about those BEATLES releases for YEARS(!!!!!) but...sure enough..when the man is dead....decisions can be made by his "executives" take it seriously...this is HUNDREDS of millions we're talking bout
