    I think the originals sounded better than the remakes.. especially when you have a wannabe-Michael Justin Timberlake placed on this album. (He's horrible live might I add..)
    Glad they included the originals on my disc though, won't be listening to those awful overproduced pieces of crap.

    Xscape was only ok. Jackson is back but not in a good way. I feel like this record was not needed. It's not a total train wreck some highlights being Love never felt so good, Slave to the rhythm and Xscape. Overall I am just not feeling this album. I feel this is lazy, tired, but not terrible. Oh and the song Blue Gangsta god almighty one of the worst songs he's ever produced.

    For the most part, Xscape honors [Jackson's] legacy and should help to relieve some of the mistrust that some may have with those in charge of the icon’s estate.

    It may have taken five years, but Xscape is the posthumous album that does more than reminisce about Jackson’s legacy. It honors it.
