Music World Wonder

My very first article on Substack, enjoy. Artist Spotlight: Athena Valentine open.substack.com/pub/musicworld…

@Cyborganna @splashmoons Mijac Music was a separate publishing company. MJJ Music was also a separate company from the publishing companies. But I agree, it was so massive, that ATV also owned soundtracks.

@splashmoons @MuWorldWonder It was such a diverse and massive catalog that it even included Muzak played in elevators and shopping Malls. Also had Michael Jackson's own record label MiJack Music folded into it, too.

The media never mentioned that the publishing catalog Michael Jackson bought didn’t just include the Beatles, it also contained a massive collection of Black music. And in some cases, he even gave publishing rights back to the original artists free of charge.

storytelling is the ONLY thing that is going to separate you in today’s landscape.

This song is literally the architect of modern pop. Pure pop perfection

Yep 😃

@Hyp0cr1tExposer @Powerfullyfem @AlexusMarshayBB @Mxrrz1 @TMZ It's a problem that you talking this way about a teenager. And it would also be a problem if you were to say that about a 5 year old.

@Powerfullyfem @AlexusMarshayBB @Mxrrz1 @TMZ You damn right. 15-year-old girls be getting ran through. You act like I said this about a five-year-old.. Blame slut culture.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Nick Cannon's totally fine letting his 15-year-old son Moroccan take a girl on a date ... but Moroccan's twin sister Monroe ain't getting the same freedom.

@Hyp0cr1tExposer @AlexusMarshayBB @Mxrrz1 @TMZ You are talking about a teenager; that is who and what you are talking about.

@AlexusMarshayBB @Mxrrz1 @TMZ Obviously, they're sucking dick and getting fucked. I can tell by the way you flaunt your titties on social media you're not too gullible or naïve to know what the fuck I'm talking about.

@papiabusa_ @Hyp0cr1tExposer @Mxrrz1 @TMZ Thank you, a date can mean a prom date or date to the movies.

@Hyp0cr1tExposer @Mxrrz1 @TMZ Girl going on a date doesn’t make you a whore. Depending how your mental state is at that point…. That’s what matters. Parents need to start educating more their kids about this topics and about sexual topics because they learn this things the wrong wayyyy……

Can this be scratched and everyone just go back to the basics? Radio should go back to being local, regional and whatever else it was before corporate America came in and killed it. Music lovers go back to old technology. Bring real talent back, and make it save to create.

Has short-term thinking hurt the music industry? Troy Carter makes the case.

The way JoJo was singing at 13. 😮‍💨🔥 “Leave (Get Out)” still gets played.

Man, the more I watch old footage, the more I realize Michael Jackson was an absolute phenomenon a true once in a generation talent. There are moments in his performances where his movement, his control, his charisma it all feels so superhuman that you genuinely start to wonder if he was built different. Like he wasn’t playing by the same rules as the rest of us.🤦🏾‍♂️ And then you remember he was only 17 years old when he was doing all of that. Just a teenager. That level of greatness at such a young age is honestly insane. What a gift he was to the world 😮‍💨

Madonna in Evita - Don't Cry For Me Argentina (1996) Well, she may not have had much luck with her film career but I always think Evita makes up for it. One of her crowning achievements IMO. Madonna garnered a lot of critical acclaim for both her singing and performance. ❤️❤️

I’m convinced listening to Mariah makes you better at English

Much like Mary, we don’t play no games about this song 😍

I did a google search on the late DA Tom Sneddon and all the articles were about Michael Jackson. Apparently this upsets his family and makes them uncomfortable because they feel that he should be remembered for a lot more than just the Jackson case. Sorry folks, but that’s what happens when you spend so much time and energy vindictively obsessing over a celebrity you didn’t know. People like Maureen Orth, Dan Reed, Diane Dimond, etc will have the exact same fate. They’ve all accomplished so much in their lives but will only be remembered for their bizarre obsession with trying to destroy a pop star. How embarrassing.

@hotmusclebro @Mimi1970Elusive The Jackson 5 had a Christmas album out, which is the closest any of us will ever get to listening to Michael Jackson sing Christmas songs. It's a lovely album, I have my favorites.

@Mimi1970Elusive Maybe their favorite should release a Christmas song and get their numbers up?! 🤔

A misogynistic comment, unnecessary not to say extremely st*pid. What problem do you have with a woman achieving success at Christmas with a song that she wrote, produced and performed herself? Do you also question MJ’s success on Halloween or are you a double standard? Shameful

@pow_riah @rossneul He does have a lovely deep speaking voice.

@rossneul Sexy voice 😭😭😭😭😭 But yesss it was from Kashad video

Imagine your debut album being so vocally insane the press was being pressed.
