- It is a beautiful song. It brings much comfort. The lyrics reach out to the basic need that is so absent in todays botch job of a society. Michael shows his sincere dedication to making the world a better place. That is what a true King is supposed to do. The King of Pop is always in the hearts of those who understand what life, humanity and music are about. Michael brings out the best in anyone he works with, Akon sounds so smooth! LONG LIVE, LONG LOVE, LONG REIGN THE KING OF POP.

I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON!!!! And i previously thought Akon was rubbish, but not anymore. They sound great together! =]

- GREAT MUSIC!!!! GREAT ARTIST! GREAT KING!!!

- Love it! Great melody, and killer vocals. It wasn’t until I listened to this song that I realized how much I actually miss the voice and musical talent of Michael Jackson, it’’s about time he re-enters the music scene. I hope to hear this song tearing up the charts on the radio soon.
