With “Love Never Felt So Good” turning out to be a hugely successful choice as the lead single from the ‘XSCAPE’ album, I thought it’d be fun to run a poll regarding which track YOU, the fans, would like to see as the follow-up second single.
The intention of this poll is not to guess or anticipate what it will be, but rather to raise your voice regarding what you personally believe it should be.
A case can be made for (or against) practically every track on this album. I personally feel there are a number of strong contenders for the second single, including “Do You Know Where Your Children Are” and “A Place With No Name”.
In my opinion “Loving You” should also be a single at some stage, but considering Epic Records went with a more soft, easy-listening mid-tempo track as the first single I feel the second single should be something that packs a bit more punch and allows for an innovative and cinematic short film.
There has been talk that the “Virtual MJ” (or “hologram”) appearing on Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards will perform “Slave to the Rhythm”, sparking rumors that it will be the next single from the album. Last year executive producer Timbaland said that he liked “Chicago” as a single, while just over a month ago LaShawn Daniels, co-writer of the song “Xscape”, stated that it was going to be a single.
So, what do YOU think should be the second single from ‘XSCAPE’?

DYKWCA? is winning? is the worst 2014 version man..
Actually ‘Do You Know Where Your Children Are’ is only beating ‘Blue Gangsta’
Xscape and BLUE GANGSTA are awesome and I’d choose Blue Gangsta in any poll
I don’t like the remixes that much, but if I had to choose it will be APWNN 🙂
None. All of the remixes are disgusting and the album has been released in direct breach of all Michael’s publicly stated beliefs and wishes for his musical output. We should not encourage the charlatans who are selling him down the river for profit.
If you’re so against the album, why do you insist commenting on articles about it? We don’t go on anti-xscape articles trying to convince people to buy the album.
Charles – You keep shouting that Michael hated remixes – what about BOTDF – half the album comprised re-mixes! You – nor anyone else – can know for certain what MJ would or would not want or approve of and it’s arrogance to make assumptions that you do. You may have published some interesting articles about him and his music, but as far as I know you never sat down with Michael Jackson and discussed his views on posthumous releases, John Branca or any other matters which you are happy to pontificate on in Michael’s absence. Circumstances are totally different to 13 years ago – and he is not here to tell us what he wants us to do, so we figure it for ourselves. It seems to me your hatred of the Estate executives colors your judgement and therefore makes your opinion on the quality and integrity of the content of the album null and void.
Let us not forget Thriller 25–REMIXes that were not even all that, MJ released himself!
MJ released Thriller 25 because he needed to put out an album and (for whatever reason, maybe good, maybe bad) didn’t want to do an album with original music or even original vocals. He certainly didn’t care that his demo vocals were being used to make these remixes. As for BOTDF, MJ wanted to do a five song album because no one had really done that before. Sony said no and they compromised by adding remixes.
How ironic that the hologram will apparently perform to a song about enslavement. It’s like a cruel joke.
I REALLY HOPE they are smart enough to include a medley of old hits into the digital performance, because us fans know enough that if mj were alive today that’s how he would perform. quick medley of the old then a phenomenal unveiling of the new.
Well it won’t be Blue Gangsta, I’m afraid that prob is the weakest track on the CD (shouldn’t of been but is)… love it to be APWNN or DYKWYCA but if i think commercially and i think you have too and what track works best on radio XSCAPE gets my vote.
CEThom, 1st of all, you’re an idiot. If Michael never wanted his unreleased songs released after his death, he would have said so in his will. And in regard to Sony themselves (I know this will turn into a “MJ never wanted to work with Sony again, blah blah blah), wrong. MJ had issues with Tommy Motolla, who is long gone from Sony.
If MJ never wanted to work with Sony again, he would have never released Number Ones, King Of Pop, The Ultimate Collection or Thriller 25.
Now onto the topic at hand, I think Slave will be the next single. I hope to hell if A Place Without No Name is released as a single, that the original is the one they use. IMO the new version sucks and is a complete rape job of the hard work and energy MJ put into it.
According to Michael’s Sony Deal, he had to release Number Ones & The Ultimate Collection.
Plus Michael Jackson didn’t really release ‘King of Pop’ – it was just a random compilation album released to celebrate his 50th birthday – fans got to decide the tracklist…although I do agree with him – Jackson did release ‘Thriller 25’ and if he didn’t want his music released posthumously, he would’ve written that in a will
He’s an idiot because he has a different viewpoint that yours? And not at one point did he write “Michael never wanted his unreleased songs released after his death”. We know one thing, Michael wasn’t fond of his music being worked on without his input. And while Michael knew music would have to be released to support his children, how do we know this was actually what he planned? Posthumous releases? Perhaps he planned on touring more, and making more albums himself and providing for his children THAT way. Because another fact is, Michael left these songs in his vault, not to be worked on for years, for a reason. And we know from Michael himself that in most cases, this implies he never had intention on releasing the song because it wasn’t up to his standard.
How many and what songs he felt that way about, we’ll never know, just like how we’ll never know how exactly he intended to provide for his family. But again, he left these songs where they were for a reason, buried in a vault somewhere.
I’m not quite sure how to say this; you made it exmetrely easy for me!
Hi Lana,I followed your blog through my WordPress dashboard several weeks ago, but I’m not getting updates in my reader. Do you know if I need to adjust any settings or anything? I’m bookmarking it just in case it’s some glitch on WordPress’ end.I’m really enjoying your writings. Keep up the good work!
Ola Boa noite,gostaria de saber se posso pagar com boleto ou deposito bancario todos os meses pois gosto muito de filmes e desenhos,mas não tenho cartão.
I just got to read this Ann and it made me realize how you seem to understand when I am having a tough time or doubts with my workouts too. Ann you work so hard at all three sports it is hard to imagine how you could ever have any doubts….but I understand that everyone does
I think “Do You Know Where Your Children Are” should be released as the next single. Yeah, I know what you’re gonna say. The remix isn’t good enough. The magic of the song was ruined in the remix. But the only reason I think it should be released next, if not immediately, is because of the recent awareness of human trafficking, especially the type that children are sexually exploited or prostituted for money. The song tells a story about a 12-year old girl who was seperated from her parents and taken away by her “stepdaddy” to Hollywood to become a prostitute for money. This song could be used to promote prevention and safety from human trafficking. If he were alive, MJ probably would’ve used this single to raise money to help locate the millions of victims of human trafficking. If “Slave to the Rhythm” is released as the second single because of its performance at the Billboard Music Awards, then “Do You Know Where Your Children Are” definitely needs to be the third single. I feel that human trafficking is an important topic everyone should be aware of and concerned about. Michael would have felt the same way. Trust me.
i believe the girl ran away because of her stepdaddy and ended up in the hands of a pimp. the stepdaddy didn’t take her away. she ran away from him and ended up in harms way.
Sorry. Not one DJ or Program Director will play DYKWYCA on the radio. We have to live with certain facts, and the fact is, a lot of people aren’t going to accept an MJ song about kids, especially child abuse, as anything more than a cruel joke.
i didn’t know which one to choose so i closed my eyes and tried to think of what MJ would want as the next single. dykwyca is what popped in my head. i would have chosen chicago or a place with no name, so it’s wierd that oe popped in my head as the answer.
i believe MJ is aware of all that’s going on from the other side. and i think he probably would feel alot like alot of us do. he would have wanted to finish these songs himself if they were going to be put out BUT he would also want them to do as well as they can even if he can’t have a say. truth is even if he were alive today Sony would be messing him over and taking decisions out of his hands anyway… he didn’t want the BOTDF remixes either, but I’m sure he was honored when it was the biggest selling remix album ever. they messed with him on promotional decisions for invincible… and the few compilation projects before he died. im sure they had their differences about the TII shows too. but even if he had issues with HOW things were being done, if his name and part of his artistry went into a project he wanted it to do well. the reason im happy about these remix versions is because if we can get MJ songs back on the radio, maybe these songs will bring mj new fans who will then go find out about all the great music he made suring his life, and be exposed to the message behind it. the message is the most important thing. it’s the reason he kept doing what he did even when things got tough for him. he wanted his message to reach all over the world and touch the hearts of every person who heard it. his mission was to transform the hearts and minds of the people of the world through music. hopefully this album works as a promotional tool for the reast of his catalog. thats what i hope and i think MJ would hope the same.
you know if we can keep internet talk going about this album maybe the press won’t start talking about the other trash. read between the lines when i understand fans would feel safe to chuck this xscape stuff out but if the press and general public has to wade through articles about xscape to get to the trashier ones maybe it’s a good thing.
if you understand shhhhh
I was thinking… I know this album isn’t being promoted as a remix album BUT it is what it is…so if this album outsells BOTDF does it mean this album will be the new biggest selling remix album ever?
Interesting, but alas, I think no. ‘Xscape’ is a compilation album – it’s more of a studio album than a remix album. Now I know many people might say, but the songs are remixes of the original versions. However, Timbaland and other ‘remixers’ stripped all of the music, and started from Jackson’s vocals. It’s because of that I’m saying it’s more of a studio album. But of course if ‘Xscape’ does become the best selling remix album by beating ‘Blood On The Dance Floor: HIStory In The Mix’, I for one, will not be complaining
I agree with the poll, A Place With No Name should be the 2nd single.
It will surely be slave to the rhythm but i would prefer the 2009 version of this song.
xscape, bc it tells an important story, his story, and how he felt he was treated by the media, ppl should pay to that……….
pay attention to, sorry typo……..xscape is the title track, its important……….
Slave To The Rhythm, the hologram is performing tonight and they can easily turn that into the perfect short film. Source material is newly discovered footage from the original recording sessions, and took 3 years to create.
A lot of the new versions sound off because we’ve heard the old versions leaked for years. And no offense, because I do enjoy your MJ blog a lot, but saying that DYKWYCA would be a strong candidate for the second single is ludicrous. Even if the album spawned SEVEN singles off this album, that song would’t be one of them! I think the Estate and LA Reid are kicking themselves for including it on this collection with this whole Robson/Safechuck business going on. I mean, why in the world you include that on a posthumous album?! IF MJ were here, there is no way in hell he’d release that song after 2005. It invites negative connotations and chases away the general public, most of which would very much like this LP if they gave it a listen. That said, I bet STTR is next, followed by Chicago.
What was the point of a hologram if you don’t use actual footage of his real face!
It appeared to be the same impersonator used for the One Las Vegas show hologram which is a sequence set far back off the front of the stage, and graphically pops up and disintegrates numerous times in a ghostly choreographed dance which works. It is played twice each night and is logically needed. You also can’t see clearly enough even as a spectator on the closest row to see his face clearly enough to know the difference, and it is not a straight up dance sequence from top to bottom ad had had to magically pop up and wisp away. The hologram is not programmed like people think or a R2D2 image. It is simply taking video footage and projecting it on a clear movie screen at a 45 degree angle so it looks 3D and real live extras appear to interact providing they stand in the correct place. It is peppers ghost effect ad seen at Disney for decades in attractions such as the Haunted Mansion. The fact there is a lawsuit over this effect is a joke.
Did you notice the impersonator’s slide move going right to left. Jackson ALWAYS did that move left to right. The show was probably much better in person. Again NOT made for TV. They zoomed in on the face too close and it was just crazy weird and ruined it. They could have just as well had the impersonator dance live. What was the point if a hologram if the video did not use Jackson’s actual face, and the fact the video was for one single performance???!
at least it looks more realistic than tupacs did. there’s only so much they can do with computer graphics…and they have to manipulate the image of his face so that he can appear to sing. no footage of him singing these words means no visual referance for them to use for the way his face would move singing them. while the image is still it looks very close to dangerous era MJ and for some reason it looks more real when the video is muted… i don’t think they synced it up right is all… the biggest issue anyone working in the cgi field knows is that human images are the hardest to get right. animals robots and aliens are easy. humans are the hardest, they always end up looking a bit off no matter what you do. i think they could have pefected it a little more or added a bit at the end where michael says “thank you” or “I love you” something like that would have helped us feel his energy a bit more….also the dancing seems to be very much based on michaels dancing during the victory tour with maybe a bit of captain eo at the end and some other moves mj never used peppered in. I didn’t like it at first so much but the more i watch it the more i like it. with a little tweaking it could be really realistic and be more like mj… now if only the mj hologram could sit down with barbara walters for an interview about what it’s like to be mj’s hologram…lol
could have enjoyed it more if i hadn’t had to see L.A. Ried congratulating himself in the audience. blah
A Place with no Name!!
Any rumors about the hologram Michael Jackson? Will it just appear at the Billboard Awards? Will it Tour? What can we expect???
They did not manipulate a face or use computer graphics on his face. The face was simply a video of the impersonator. That’s what the public does not understand. It’s really not a hologram, that’s just a word that’s been adopted. It was a video protected on a transparent plastic movie screen if the impersonator. The audience normally can’t see the face well enough (like at ONE) but they zoomed in on television screen too closely accidently.
It is a hologram – The Estate of Michael Jackson tried to do a hologram of Jackson between the ‘Bad’ and ‘Dangerous’ eras (when ‘Slave To The Rhythm’ was recorded). Unfortunately, the hologram looked too much like the Michael Jackson in the ‘Michael Jackson: The Experience’ game
yeah if you pay attention to the face it is clearly a cgi face. not real live human. so they may have used an impersonator to motin capture the dance moves but it’s a cgi image im pretty sure.
It clearly looked like a video of a white impersonator to me. Just like ONE. I would imagine it is the same person. The blurry or warpiness you sometimes saw was the plastic screen either out of focus by the television cameras or the screen moving ever slightly although it is tethered. Notice how at the beginning of the performance, the camera got too close, then they quickly zoomed out and it was out of focus briefly. Again, not made for TV.
I own a performance and movie theater and work in the lighting and AV industry. If you could stand behind the screen and watch you would see real performers in the correct spots, and nothing else. You can only see the video directly in front. If you are4 to much to the side it messes up the focus.
we’re all going to be arguing about what it was forever probably which is what they want. they want us to talk and talk and talk about it. i believe it was cgi because the face looks like a video game charachter to me. i’ve watched the thing probably over a hundred times now and it looks like its computer generated. yes it is an image projected on a glass screen, but i can see with my own eyes it’s a computer generated image projected. not a human face of any kind.
Its a hologram only because it’s the term adopted. It’s not a hologram in the true since of the word, and the general public has no clue. My point is it is really just a projected video on a transparent screen to appear 3D. Check out the company who is trying to package a simple illusion effect used since the mid 19th century. http://musion.co.uk/
Why do the developers of The Experience game not create a video. The impersonator was too slow, and I agree with the point above, why use projection when its not MJ but an impersonator? It looked a bit like Navi but who knows. He was too slow, spinning too much. Use E casanova next time.
This may seem like a crazy idea, but it would be interesting to see a Michael Jackson hologram perform an Xscape Tour (I said interesting, not brilliant). With songs like ‘Slave To The Rhythm’, ‘Love Never Felt So Good’ with Justin Timberlake and ‘Blue Gangsta’ with Cirque du Soleil, it could amount to something (even with the poor quality hologram) – Jackson was planning to do two more tours after the This Is It concerts. Or, perhaps they could make the hologram perform one of the planned This Is It concerts, using choreography and instrumentation as Michael Jackson wanted and rehearsed, or perform songs from the cancelled One Night Only show in 1995.
Michael clearly said this is it… hence the name of the show. as in this is it was meant to be his last set of performances so where do you get he was going to do two more tours?
maybe if they work on the presentation of the hologram a bit better, it could be used to headline a cirque du soliel show eventually. not just appear in it but be the star. but i think the idea of this thing touring as Michael Jackson is a little silly. if they wanted to do that they could project the image from one of his older tours in hologram form and it would actually be his image then… but i think the cgi mj is nowhere near ready to be used as a headlining act. although im glad we had somethign cool to watch mj related instead of some dancers or usher dancing to a montage of old pictures.
Read the book that Jermaine Jackson wrote about his brother – it says that Michael wanted to do a couple more tours. He said “This is it” as he knew that demand would increase if people knew that they would see Michael for the last time
probably just Jermaine’s wishful thinking.. he was probably hoping the Jacksons would reunite after This Is It. i’ve come to realize that any book published after MJ’s death is less reliable than the ones published before. people cam put words in Michael’s mouth because he’s not here to dispute them anymore. And while I’m sure Jermaine means well most of the time, sometimes his ego does the talking.
I too am not too sure on the validity of Jermaine Jackson’s claims. However, Michael Jackson was planning some concerts after This Is It, such as the Super Bowl and the Thriller/Ghosts/Threatened thing
The reason why they call this a hologram is can you imagine the backlash if they used an impersonator?
Although it is a video of an impersonator, they can call it a hologram. They could have otherwise just had a live performance but the hologram video did allow for extra graphics of the throne and steps disappear and come back, and dancers disinegrate, and other pulsing graphic effects/illusions.
they are saying specifically that it isn’t a hologram.
?
Almost every major news article refers to a “hologram.”
but the people behind it have said it’s not a hologram. being a Michael Jackson fan you should realize the news reporters almost never fact check before they report. that’s why the news programs are calling it a hologram.
To clarify there us no disagreement here. The company, Musion Eyeliner, who advanced the tethered gel screen idea and projection system call it a “hologram.” So it IS a hologram as the new term is used, but scientifically before this new Pepper’s Ghost advancement a hologram meant an image you could see from all sides like in Star Wars, not a visual illusion. So it is but it isn’t.
And whoever that impersonator was, even as gifted a dancer he is, he still was clearly not Michael Jackson…much more stiff and mechanical, less natural and fluid, too rigid and zero spontaneity. Every person who impersonates the moonwalk gets it wrong, too short stride and deliberate and not floating the same (I’m aware and not counting the silly looking mid shuffles the impersonator did. Also Michael never moved right to left. Always left to right.
the moonwalk bit gets me. if they were using motion capture, why didn’t they use michael’s moonwalk from ghosts as the skeleton which they have the motion capture info from allready?
The best hologram that could currently be done is just play a damn music video using the Pepper’s Ghost effect.
Here’s everyone’s big hologram! This is essentially what Musion is suing about. They basically hang a clear screen the size of an actual and shoot a very bright HD camera bounced off a mirror. Da duh…ooooh…hologram…whatever. That was simply a video of an impersonator dancing, not as complicated as people think. The graphics moving about the impersonator were more impressive. If you could take out the background of any music video, you could make Michael hologram it out! It works like a PNG image.
go to 3:35 mark
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqLB6Q5GLFw
of course it’s not actually Michael. it’s a CGI representation of him. you can tell the way the eyes bug out sometimes and the way the mouth moves that it’s not actually a person. the moves were more than likely motion captured from an impersonator, since michaels not here to do it himself. especially the moves he never actually did in his life. i think they used some footage of michael to create the dance, like i can see some of the way he moves is almost exact to footage of the victory tour and other things. yeah they messed up the moonwalk. yeah the sidefloat was in the wrong direction. but the presentation wasn’t directed at us who are allready MJ fans, it’s meant to draw in new fans. and im pretty sure it will.
No it is definitely not a CGI.
I work in the theatre and lighting industry for years. I have created CGI. It’s not. There is computer effects all over the entire video but not the face.
However I wish they did use CGI on the face then it would not look like the white impersonator in makeup with a Smashed nose. If CGI had been used it work at least look like him to some degree and have aberrations as you refer to like in say, Jeff Bridges inTron. The Tron CGI was imperfect and noticeable but at least looked like a young Jeff Bridges.
whether it was cgi or an impersonator or MJ’s ghost himself doesn’t matter really as the general public really don’t care what it actually was. would you have rather seen Usher, Justin Timberlake, or Ne-yo perform the song? or worse yet Justin Bieber? would that have gotten the song on almost every major news show on tv? Whatever this alleged hologram was, it was all over tv and from what i hear the Xscape album is now #1 on the us charts and the black keys seem kinda bitter about that but yeah… the general public doesn’t really want to know how the magic is done, they want you to let them imagine what they want.
I’m going to compromise on what I think they did. I went back and watched frame by frame on close ups. It appears that most of the video footage is simply the impersonator, not even a CGi overlay just simply his real body in video. However if you look real closely at some of the frames, it appears there was video editing. If it is digitally altered than that is in effect CGI, sort of. I think they simply took the impersonator’s made up face and digitally doctored it some. Good point you made is we compare all the images as fans who know him in detail and that the presentation and marketing is targeting a newer fanbase. I think you are right the presentation might effectively draw in new fans.
i think most of the general public will believe it was cgi. i think we might both be partially right but I think it’s better to let the general public draw their own conclusions either way. if they used an impersonator that blatently obviously when they could have easily used cgi i find it incredibly embarrasing and I feel if we point it out they’ll somehow use it to make us seem like we’re bashing MJ. like when the Michael album didn’t do well because we didn’t like the fake tracks they made it seem it was because his fanbase wasn’t strong enugh and MJ wasn’t relevent enough anymore..
i feel sometimes that the MJ estate is like the Emperor with no clothes, but if we point it out they don’t suffer from it, MJ’s image does. it makes me very sad.
but seriously the face looks like bad cgi to me. somehow the face looks different in the parts where he’s on the throne part of the “painting” and the parts where the background is dark. my brothers both think it’s cgi too. everyone I’ve shown it to thinks it’s cgi. it’s been playing nonstop in my house since it happened I’ve been watching it and rewatcing it. it looks liek cgi to me, but like they didn’t work on getting the face quite right. when he mouth is open the teeth don’t look right and the inside of the mouth is just teeth then black. if it were a person you’d see the tongue or whatever, and theres a part where the mouth is open in like an O shape and it really doesn’t look like a real person… plus the way the face moves looks glitchy or something sometimes. the expression in the eyes, the eyebrows move funny not naturally the way a persons eyebrows would move.
I would love to pick “Do You Know Where Your Children Are” it is a really great song, but I feel like “Slave To The Rhythm” should be next single, because the parts of the song was played for the Sony Xperia Z2 promotional commercial. So yes I’m gonna pick “Slave To The Rhythm”.
If escape was released in april or erly week before (week before 13 of may) Michael would be got 7th #1 on the billboar chart. Weekly sales of #1 in that period was among 100,000-153,000. Michael was sold in first week with 157,000 in US. Next week coldplay will be #1 with above 350,000 units. Sale of Escape in first week was only about 45% of coldplay. However weekly sales of coldplay is the best in this years
The next single should definitely be anything including Justin Bieber, and/or Ke$ha. That combination would really sell a lot and I have heard it’s in the works is why they used her to help announce the hologram on the Billboard Awards. Ive been told bye sources that Justin Bieber well as and some of the new more popular stars have been working on music videos for some of the remixed singles we haven’t heard yet. In fact I heard Bieber will star in “Place with no name” as the driver of the jeep, and Selena Gomez or Miley Cyrus will be the woman who appears from the fog. Can’t wait!
I’ve also heard that lady gaga will be the dueting with Michael on do you know where your children are. Who isnt excited about this?
I am not excited. I dont think he needs these duets. Sony should release singles in the Bad album format of Extended mix, Instrumental and acapella so people have a reason to buy the single. Stay away from club mixes. I think Xscape should be one of the last singles to be released, they should release the original not the remixed one. I hope Sony come up with innovative visual short films to mass market the songs otherwise this will be just like the Michael album and interest will fizzle out in a few weeks. I will watch this promotion with interest but feel that the estate should not have signed with Sony to distribute MJs music.

I'm coming out of hiding to tell you that, yes, I am still here and still reading through my Google Reader! And following you on Pinterest too. 🙂 Happy 900th!By the way, I also agree with the change in the bloggy world. Less comments because we're all sidetracked by Facebook and Pinterest and Instagram and whatnot. But I'll still be blogging because it's a gift I'm giving to my kids one day.
The informative content in this article is what I like to see writers write. This material is well-written, interesting and intelligent. The inclusion of solidly made points is a plus.
Staying warm and healthy here! As for climate change, apart from the usual deniers, I haven't heard people say that sort of thing here. I think that as a small island nation, maybe New Zealanders are a bit more aware of climate change issues than are Americans. Of course, we also don't have a 24/7 rightwing spin machine here, either.
to break all the records in music history!
Is this Poll even working? I’m voting for Chicago for 16 days, but it still says: “23%”.
Yes sir, it is working. 16 votes won’t sway the overall standings as votes for other tracks are constantly coming in. 16 votes is less than 1% of the total votes. More than 2,000 votes have been cast altogether.
