mj

have you heard any of these acapella renderings of michael jackson's songbook? i guess those who post them are just isolating the vocal track.

i heard someone on the radio the other day talking about them so i decided to check a few out myself. (and again i say this age of new and emerging media is bombastic.)

michael jackson's voice is amazing. in a way it is nearly a shame he was such a good performer and such a fantastic and innovative dancer. these things took away from the legend of his voice. there is an acapella rendering of ben, from mj's youth when his voice was simply pure, but this vocal track from billie jean, represents mj's adult voice as one of the best ever. listen to the variety therein and the instinctive quality of bouncing around the register and complementing the beat.
