It doesn't look like this is going to get a release in America, so if you want it, you'll have to get the import. It's a solid buy too, what with the strong and moving, 'Cry', it's video and the non album tracks ('Shout' and 'Streetwalker').
I haven't seen the 'Cry' video on American TV and don't think it's being released here. So this in your only chance to see it. It's not the most interesting of videos as it just features different people holding hands across various landscapes and finally joining in singing to the song at the end. I must admit though, to getting goosebumps when that ending came. All the different nationalities joining together for peace and unity was inspiring. But don't look for MJ, as he doesn't make an appearance.
'Shout' will take some getting used to for me. It seems much more in line with the music from HIStory than Invincible as it has a hard/angry edge. 'Streetwalker' (from the Bad special edition) is a really stong song and shouldn't be missed. Lots of street sounds (hrons honking, shoes on pavement and the like) make this a song to be listened to again and again to see what else you can hear in it.
If you're looking for rare and unavailabe MJ product (at least in America) then this CD is for you.
Cry was written&Produced by the King of R&B R.kelly in a very "Man in the Mirror" style&Vibe. it fits MJ's voice really well. the other cuts are hit&Miss. "StreetWalker"&Shout. but "Cry" Fits real well with what was going on within the Nation during 9-11-01.the Two Greatest Musical forces over the past 25 years Michael Jackson&R.kelly made another good track.
Cry was a Decent song not the Greatest not the worst.StreetWalker is a Throwaway track to Me.The Video is Alright.You Rock My World Hit&Miss Overall.but Shout is the Cut.the lyrics are strong&Make this Set worth peeping out alone.it's a Shame that MJ isn't getting any Push from Sony.
