One of the best albums ever

Advantages: Groundbreaking soul album full of conscience and beauty
Disadvantages: None

...Track Listing What's Going On This is a classic soul standard, this song has a fantastic moral conscience, talking about whats going on, why can't people live together regardless of colour, religion, sex or class. The music is smooth and flows so well, Marvin's voice transcends from sensitive to soulful to pleadingly beautiful, this is one of the most amazing anti-war, pro-unity songs ever created and definitely the coolest. Marvin's voice is peerless, ...
...What's happening Brother This song flows in perfectly from the first with the same beat and flow that the last song ended on, it has wonderful backing vocals, great use of drums and brass instruments, this is almost freestyle, again its talking about the hell of war and people needing to get together again. This song talks about being unemployed and having no money and feeling disillusion (something many of us can relate to right now), Marvin is ...

Review of Music And Me - Michael Jackson

He's The Best

Advantages: Excellent timeless classic
Disadvantages: None

...grown up with Michael Jackson, Ben being one of the first songs I grew to love. He is one of the best artists that I have ever known and I don't care what anybody else says because even though he has changed his looks many times over that does not change the person within. I feel that Michael Jackson is a loving, caring person with a lot to give to the music world if the world would stop giving him a hard time. It is obvious that Michael has problems ...
...When I heard Ben for the first time I fell in love with it. I could see that this was Michael's type of song because it was about friendship, love and affection. That's who Michael is even if he was singing about a pet rat. Michael Jackson has never done anything wrong in my eyes even if the world does want to condenm him and put him down. He is a star in my eyes and Ben brought him to the star light. Ben was my favourite song because it's something ...

...lts of effort put into it in order to make it sound much more than your average, quickly-thrown-together Christmas album as we get thoughtful production that mixes in the contemporary R&B trends with the Christmas-y themes for a big opener that I can't find any faults with. **Five Stars** 2.“Christmas In Jamaica” As things move on, we see there here we get what was the second album from the record and a joint that has her linking up with the Dancehall ...
