A new teaser for Michael Jackson's new 2014 upcoming album is finally here! The album is set to be released on May 13th. On May 1, 2014 at the iHeartRadio Music Awards a new Michael Jackson song will be unveiled for the first time. The song unveiled is rumored to be "Love Never Felt So Good" but nothing has been officially released regarding what song will be unveiled. The first single from the Xscape album, "Love Never Felt So Good" will be released to radio stations worldwide on May 5th. There are plans to have more singles to be released from the new album including a music video. It is still unclear how they plan on unveiling the new Michael Jackson song. For the full story, click on the News tab. Michael Jackson wrote the song speechless in Germany after a water balloon fight with kids. It took him 45 minutes to complete writing the lyrics. Michael claimed it was one of his favorite songs off the 2001 Invincible album. The song was written solely by Michael Jackson. "I was so happy after the fight that I ran upstairs in their house and wrote 'Speechless'. Fun inspires me. I hate to say that, because it's such a romantic song." He added, "But it was the fight that did it. I was happy, and I wrote it in its entirety right there. I felt it would be good enough for the album. Out of the bliss comes magic, wonderment, and creativity." The song was released as a promotional single in Korea only. Michael Jackson sang "Speechless" a cappella in his film "This Is It"
Controversy was generated concerning the last four minutes of the original music video. Jackson walks out of the studio as a black panther and then morphs into himself.Then he walks outside to perform some of his most physically complicated dance techniques, in a similar way to “Billie Jean”. The scene is also very similar to that of a commercial Jackson appeared in for L.A. Gear in 1989. This part contained sexually suggestive scenes when Jackson starts to grab his crotch, and then zips his pants up. In the original version, Jackson is seen smashing windows, destroying a car and causing an inn (called the “Royal Arms”) to explode. Jackson later apologized saying that the violent and suggestive behavior was an interpretation of the animal instinct of a black panther, and MTV and other music video networks removed the last four minutes from subsequent broadcasts. To make the vandalism and violence more understandable to viewers, an altered original version, containing four racial graffiti messages were released. The version included in the box set Michael Jackson’s Vision is the aired, televised version without the digital graffiti, and does not include the “prejudice is ignorance” title card.
