Q DISCUSSION 1 - WEEKLY PICK A SONG 03 11 unread reply.11 reply. So we made it to another installment of the Weekly Pick A Song...woohoooooo))) As was the case for last week: 1. Pick a song from the list of albums/artist you chose in your Top 10. Either: o Upload it. Click on the "Record/Upload Media Button" in the tool bar above the text box. Then click the right "Upload Media" tab. Then find your song and click upload. o Add a link to a URL. Click the "Link to URL" button above and then copy and paste your file link in the text box and hit "Insert Link"...These links can be from anywhere that does not require log ins so best to keep it to YouTube or I think Spotify may work) 2. Once you have added your choice, tell us why you picked that particular example. AND PLEASE DO NOT JUST SAY BECAUSE YOU LIKE IT!! 3. Pick at least two of your peer's choices (that you have never heard of) and give a response: what did you like or dislike about the choice, anything unique that stood out, would you recommend it to others, etc. HINT: You don't always have to like something to make a good review. In fact I find you can talk a lot more about things you dislike. BUT do not just say "I hated the song," or "it sounded like ass". What was the assness of the music? MY 3RD WEEKLY CHOICE Michael Jackson was and will always be the greatest pop star of all time. Period...end of story. Whatever your personal feelings are towards him as a person (you either believe he was a pedo monster or you don't) his music is undeniable. When he finally came out with a fourth album it was both a greatest hits and a new album. 'HISstory' made history (no pun intended) as being yet another number one album for Jackson but the first new single release was Scream which was the first (and only) duet collaboration between him and sister Janet (unless you consider Janet's background vocals in PYT on the album Thriller as a collaboration). I am not using Scream as my 3rd choice however. Instead, I am choosing They Don't Care About Us. The album dropped after his first run in with authorities over allegations of child abuse. This song, in particular was a reflection of his anger at the treatment, and in a larger context was a reaction to the treatment of minority (especially Black) peoples in America and the world as a whole. Ironic? Perhaps given your opinion of his guilt. But the song is rather apropos given the current racial division in America. It was also controversial because, for some reason, the only pejorative he chose to include in the song was that for Jewish people (although it does fit in the rhyming scheme which is probably why he really used it). Musically, the song represents most his pop aesthetic which is actually based more heavily in rock than R&B.
