   While I agree with some of the artist doing the tribute album, I feel some of the artist do not have the vocal capabilties to sing certain songs.
   
   MJ had unique vocals so it would be very hard to redo certain songs, for example
   
   Neyo - I dont know if his vocals are strong for You Are Not Alone (esp the ending) he has very soft vocals. Lady In My Life or She's Out Of My Life would be perfect for him.
   
   Beyonce - Another Part of Me no Beyonce has a tendency to oversing and sometimes likes to have a screaming match with her vocal I can picture this being a disaster more than a tribute.
   
   Justin Timberlake - Off The Wall I would prefer Musiq who is very soulful and switch justin to Human Nature or I Just Can't Stop Loving You with maybe a duet with Keri Hilson or Alicia Keys.
   
   Mary - I think needs more of a message/dramatic song like Earth Song
   
   Jazmine Sullivan or Jennifer Hudson should sing Will You Be There.
   
   Oh and let's not forget Whitney you know she has to do a tribute! :)
   
   What do you think?

3. Mack of Sound-Savvy Said,

   Hmm... we'll agree to disagree on Ne-yo.
   
   I agree about Beyonce, that's why I gave her Another Part of Me, lots of vocal pauses so we don't have to hear her run all over the place.
   
   I'd give Whitney Will You Be There... big enough for her.
   
   I can see Mary on Earth Song, good choice.
   
   In retrospect, Musiq's falsetto may not handle Human Nature.
   
   JT can get pretty soulful and far-reaching with his vocals, but he still has that pop feel, that's why i thought he'd rock Off The Wall.

4. Martini Said,

   I think I can agree with the list EXCEPT... I think Marsha should do Butterlies since she penned it. Chris Breezy and Ciara should do Scream. Can you imagine the stage performance with those two?! FIYAH. And Dwele should do Human Nature since his tribute was PHENOMENAL.

5. jayvee Said,

   I'd actually like to see Janet take a swing at "Butterflies" - think for the most part it fits with her range. Also, I'd like Janet to get a bit rough and though not a masterpiece, but always stuck in my head "They Don't Care About Us" - she's shown with "What About" and "Scream" that she has a certain intensity about her voice, I'd like to see her try her hand at that.
   
   I'd give Justin "Billie Jean."
   
   NERD "Smooth Criminal"
   
   hm... this is a great topic. I need to think some more!
