Jackson Hated Thriller Album

MICHAEL JACKSON considered quitting work on his iconic 1982 album THRILLER - because he thought it "sucked".

In newly released tapes, obtained by Britain's News of the World newspaper, the King Of Pop revealed he broke down in tears because he thought the record's sound was "c**p".

Jackson was unhappy with the Quincy Jones-produced album - and even told pals he didn't want to release it.

In the recordings, Jackson is heard saying, "Thriller sounded so c**p. The mixes sucked. When we listened to the whole album, there were tears... I just cried like a baby. I stormed out of the room and said, 'We're not releasing this'."

But a visit to a local school playground convinced Jackson to change his mind.

He added, "One of the maintenance crew in the studio had a bicycle and so I took it and rode up to the schoolyard. I just watched the children play. When I came back I was ready to rule the world. I went into the studio and I turned them songs out."

The album has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide.

	Michael sounded very unhappy, what he should of done was not let people make decsions for him he was an adult male an had a mind of his own he should of taken charge of his life instead of being unhappy he was the only one who could of changed the way he was living an he should of he said in one home movie he hated to tour then why do it , his videos where good if thats what he enjoyed to do so do it but dont go an do something you are not happy about, he should of taken charge of his life , michael appeared to be fragil to me, an lived in a life where he was all ways told by others what he could an could not do, i dont no if it was the way he was raised or what or he liked all the attension he got maybe as a child he didnot get the rite attension he craved,he went from being a normal child to the center of attension over night, michael had a lot of issues , he should of taken care of those issues rite then an their instead of allowing it to ride , things he should of done he cant change why he is no longer with the living was this his choice or the doctors only, i believe michael had a sort of death wish , maybe he was too high to no what was really going on saying to him self i can handle this when this was too big of an issue an instead of getting the rite help he got the wrong help, their are things no one will ever no did michael give himself diprovan when his doctor had been giving him other meds to kick the dioprovan, even tho i feel the doctor is partly to blame he is not totally to blame michael i read knew the danger here in taking these meds diprovan included he said it was a chance he,d take was he thinking cleary i dont think so, drugs play mind games with people an no 2 not all people are the same on the same drug whats sad is michael is no longer here to be with his children an his family an his fans this is the saddest part of it all so was this his choice death over life no one will ever really no what went on the day he passed the doctor does no i dont think he will ever tell any one what really went on that day why he has a skelton in his closet something hed risk going to jail for it seems? the only crime i can see that michael did was care for others more than he did his own self he was selflish , an this means hewas not greedy if you want to say this, this is a sad tiime for his family an his children an as far as debbi rowe she may have given birth to them but she has never been michaels 2 childs mom michael was both a mother an a father to all his children something debbi rowe dosenot have the rite to be, any one can bare a child it takes more than that to be a good parent an she took the money that shows how money played a role with her its called greed, something michael did not seemed to be was greedy ,michaels children are in good hands a grand parents love is worth more than debbi rowe could ever imagine ,

	If Micheal had said he watched that evening's setting sun and was inspired by nature to remix that album, you would simple take it as read. If he'd said he watched the ocean waves lapping at the beach front, and then felt inspired to improve his creation, you might say wow. Instead he says he saw children playing and was inspired by them to do better, to over come his own disappointments. Our reaction to that simple statement, is a sign of how much we've changed. Incidentally Michael dedicated Off the Wall to the year of the children. This, when he was 19.
