Feb 3, 2010 - Quincy and Michael became close friends during thriller. Michael talked to Quincy about his vitiligo and his lung problem long before he admitted it on Oprah and he didn't believe him. If Michael was lying he would have come out to the public and talk about it so that he is not judged. But he chose to keep his life private and suffer alone. I lost respect for Quincy after these statements. Ok he is a great producer but that's it.

Feb 3, 2010 - I don't know what your knowledge about vitiligo is but I am a teacher and I have a student that has this skin disorder. She is white and she has bloches on her skin that look porcelain white like a ghost. Now she is dealing with stress because she is preparing for the examinations to enter university. stress makes her situation worse...it's expanding everywhere face, hands...she avoids sun and she is using special make up to cover it and she is covering it(I only found out from her Mom).

kelanti1 Says:

Feb 3, 2010 - some of her classmates make fun of her, others avoid her. She is shy and reserved because of that and she cries a lot. One day I was comforting her and she said to me that she is tired os creams and medication. There is also a way to make all her skin look the same, but it's very expensive and you just end up looking porcelain white. Imagine a black man with this disease, it kills you to see yourself turning to something else.

kelanti1 Says:

Feb 3, 2010 - Bottom line: Michael had it and suffered alone. And when it got worse, he chose to have all pigmentation of his skin removed. He didn't want people to feel sorry for him and his health so he kept silent.One of the reasons he didn't want victory tour releashed is that the videos of this tour are the only ones that clearly show vitiligo in his hands, chest and neck. Even in the amateur dvd that is out, you can clearly see it.

Feb 9, 2010 - I wonder what went soar between Quincy and M.J. KOP always thanked Q.for the success, but Q. was mute, or responded w/negativity. Thriller is not just Q's work, a lot of merit goes to MJ. Songs that MJ had to fight for to be in the album. Video-short film, dance, these where contributing factors to the success of Thriller album. IMHO Quincy was sublimely jealous of MJ. But, doesn't justify him to bash MJ. Looks like the issue between them is more of private matter, that we don't know about.

Feb 10, 2010 - i think quincy loves michael but I think he has always been annoyed at mj having him produce albums after bad. when talking about michaels work/legacy he always talks about the off the wall, thriller, bad, which is obviously fine but he words it as if its the only good work Michael has done. And he said in one interview that Michael thought he was getting out of touch with the music industry and thats why he didnt use him as quincy was working with rap at the time which mj didnt think would last

NoarNoir Says:

Feb 10, 2010 - Thank you for sharing experience from first hand what it is to live with vitiligo. People that don't have it, are quick to judge and ridicule others, without compassion. Thank you again!!!

NoarNoir Says:

Feb 10, 2010 - When Bad didn't win in GRAMMY, critics wrote that "Q. should stick to Jazz & R&B, BAD is copy carbon of the Trhiler." Next day the word went out that MJ is looking for new producer. Q. was hurt. Calls MJ to ask him what are his future plans since he wanted to make sure are they going to work on new album or not. MJ says want to try new sounds, Q. was cool, says Tedd Riley is a good one. MJ didn't want to work w/ Q. after BAD album. MJ asked Q. to work on new album in 2008, Q refused. MJ

NoarNoir Says:

Feb 10, 2010 - Michael Jackson had rapping in Dangerous album. Listen to the song SHOUT, MJ does all the rapping.

msblossom77 Says:

Feb 11, 2010 - now I wonder what he think about MJ having vitiligo.... it already confirmed in autopsy

Legend90210 Says:

Feb 12, 2010 - jeezo, I never knew that, where did you find that out ? I love all MJs stuff but would have been interesting to see what him and quincy wouldve came up with working together again

Legend90210 Says:

Feb 12, 2010 - does it? i dont see any mention of it ?

Feb 12, 2010 - Loved 4:52 - smoking kool-aid!

NoarNoir Says:

Feb 12, 2010 - It is here in YT, Quincy talks about it. Saying he was offered but refused it-"I am over 70' years old, having million projects to finish have no time for another recording (album)".

NoarNoir Says:

Feb 12, 2010 - MJ always respected Q. even when Quincy stated that MJ shouldn't say he composes, when he can't read/write music. Multiple court deposition lined up for MJ after this statement, and never stopped. After 10yrs of Thriller release MJ was called in court deposition to proof that songs are his work/composition. How humiliating. For each song MJ put his name on, had to fight for. MJ fought as a King. But, he fought alone, and never pointed fingers @ his friends. Even though he never had a real one.

msblossom77 Says:

Feb 12, 2010 - @NoarNoir seriously...???? some people dont believe he create his song.... and he called to court for that...?? it's so underestimated..

NoarNoir Says:

Feb 12, 2010 - It is here in YT tons of footage about MJ's court depositions. . I don't think there is any artist tortured than MJ. Sad, but true he was indeed alone.

NoarNoir Says:

Feb 13, 2010 - When comes to MJ, you have to do your own research, my friend. You would be surprise of great work he has left behind. Cause music media is not going to unfold for anyone when comes to MJ. In YT you can listen unreleased song/rap shout. He does all the rapping. It is awesome! Look it up.

rosenkopf Says:

Feb 24, 2010 - there is a demo version of "She's out of my life" where Michael doesn't cry at the end...it is a nice version (part of "THIS IS IT" CD)

Feb 28, 2010 - So you don't like quincy cause he didn't believe michael had vitiligo? That mean's you believe everything you friends tell you huh? People are human!!!
