"Stranger in Moscow"
i always thought it was an oddly interesting title so i researched the significance of it
He wrote the song in a hotel room during a tour stop in Russia while he was facing criminal investigation related to child rape accusations
it hit only 93 on the Hot 100 making it his lowest charting single on the chart
which is crazy cuz this is absolutely beautiful. maybe it being so R&B-infused had something to do with it
but the song and vid >>>>>>>

i think king deserves a new trial in the court of public opinion
back then the gorls weren't as savvy with how tabloids operate
and were much more easily manipulated by anything they read.
this song/video comes across as someone being genuinely hurt and disappointed , and misunderstood...and silenced
then for those accusers to come forward with Oprah years later thinking they were about to MESS, only for HOLES to be poked all in their stories ...and Oprah QUIETLY scrubbing the entire mess from her network/social media pages cuz she knew something wasn't right.
:stressed:
Terrible song but I just posted this yesterday.

It really could make sense
One of Mike's best songs

im glad the gorls arei kinda backtracking a bit
i think many of us were guilty of simply eating whatever was put in front of us
"Wacko the Jacko! Loves to touch kids!"
if it was in print it had to be true.
then we had all of the comedians running with it, putting the jokes in shows/movies....it really turned into a "fact"
but how many people have actually taken a close look and examined the tea
if nothing else, Oprah RUSHING to get rid of that special she did after very real inconsistencies of stories were quickly pointed out just proves that maybe if this happened to Mike in times where the media didn't have ALL the control..... and intelligent regular people with social reach were able to get in the ring for him and fight with facts....things may have been different.
Mike deserves the biggest apology ever, his name was dragged through the mud with false accusations for 30+ years by opportunists who wanted to make easy money. This song may not be his best but it's still very creative
:'( :stressed:
I never knew it was a single.I thought maybe a B-side.In 1995, everyone wanted knock & R&B.Even Madonna hit up Babyface.
Let's not go TOO deep into Mike's innocence. Things are still unclear. Especially after settling a lawsuit for millions of dollars instead of fighting your innocence and clearing your name in the courts and public. He lied about a lot over the years. Even about things we could literally see with our own eyes.
But he's still king

His insurance company paid millions to the first accuser, not him...second accuser lost in a trial in court, and What did he lie alot about exactly,....that he had Vitiligo (which he did, his Autopsy report confirmed it)....that his kids are biologically his(they are, even if they are white looking, DNA test was done after his death proved it).....
This is one of my top 5 King's songs.

Let's not forget King had about 10 nose jobs and a clef put in his chin but only admits to having 1 plastic surgery :unsure:
And yes, I would agree the second case was parents trying to get money, but that first case was settled. Mike could've proven his innocence. He never did.

I can answer that question though. It's never been revealed.

I think God wanted to annoy people who said Michael bleached cause he wanted to be white, so he made them more white than black
