The Jacksons Tracks - Smooth CrimiPOLL results1!!1!!!!

"Can You Feel It" hasn't appeared yet, that one must be in the top 10.

I'm hoping "Together Again" will place (it was the top Janet tune in my ballot), but I kinda fear it's too positive a song for ILM to love it.

I think it'll place, actually. I didn't vote for it, but "Together Again" is an ILX kinda tune.

I think Together Again was another song from TVR I dropped :( I just thought it was the other big Janet single for people to get behind other than like Black Cat or oh shit Twenty Fourplay why didn't I vote for that, I love 24P! I guess All For You maybe has a chance too?

I dunno, ILM usually doesn't love that kind of unabashedly sunny and cheerful tunes. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, though.

"Together Again" def won't be in the top 10, but it's not because of whatever dumbass theory you have about ILM being too negative to appreciate it, you dope

Together Again is about the death of a friend, not exactly unabashedly sunny and cheerful

I meant sonically, not lyrically.

4 from Thriller
2 from Off The Wall
3 by Janet
1 by Jackson 5

I'd love You Rock My World, but no way is it outpointing Smooth Criminal. Black or White has maybe a slightly better chance, but ditto really.

I thought Darling Dear would show, but maybe that's just me.

1 by The Jacksons, no way "Can You Feel It" isn't in the top 50.

so I agree with hoy hoy, just replace Nasty (which placed already) with Rock With You.

gospodin otm

oh my bad on Nasty

did a 50-11 get posted?

Can You Feel It VS Together Again?

i've never even heard of "can you feel it," it's not gonna be in the top 10. "centipede" was the last curveball.

pffft this poll is made for a curveball or four. like i wonder how many of you also voted for ilx-favourite busta ft. janet

lol as if

"Human Nature" is the one you had down as a maybe that's a lock btw

i've never even heard of "can you feel it," it's not gonna be in the top 10. "centipede" was the last curveball.

Er, what? Is this a joke? "Can You Feel It" is like the best-known The Jacksons tune there is (alongside "Blame It on the Boogie") + the classic video will probably help it get high points + Madonna stole the bassline for "Material Girl" + The Tamperer sampled it for "Feel It".

the only video i've ever seen from '80s Jacksons is "Torture"

it looks like it did WAY better on european charts than in the u.s., though, so that's probably where our disconnect is stemming from. still don't think it'll place.

The best known Jacksons song in the states is "Shake Your Body...," Tuomas.

Okay... But "Can You Feel It" really played a lot on MTV. My family didn't get MTV until 1990, and I still saw it there several times.

(xx-post)

you realize you didn't grow up with the same MTV as most of the rest of us, though, right

Hmm, okay, maybe there really is some kind of Europe/US disconnect here? MTV Europe certainly loved that tune.

"Can You Feel It" is like the best-known The Jacksons tune there is

Chart (1981) 	Peak position
Dutch Singles Chart 	2
UK Singles Chart 	6
US Billboard Hot 100 	77
US Billboard R&B 	30

Ummm Tuomas fyi Europe in itself has many seperate MTVs.

I think it's a draw between "Can You Feel It" and "Shake Your Body."

That's weird... I wonder why it was so much more popular in here than over there?

xpost I knew the former well before being exposed to the latter.

Ummm Tuomas fyi Europe in itself has many seperate MTVs.

Not until the late 90s, IIRC. Certainly not when I started watching it.

hell I hadn't heard "Lovely One" until two years ago.

In late seventies America the Jacksons weren't a major pop force; the success of Off The Wall eclipsed his bros' records.

oh shit yeah 1997... which is when i started paying attention to music and videos and whatever. Did they just show everything in English then or were there shows in Finnish shown in Greece etc. etc.?

It was just one English language MTV for the whole Europe. It was produced in Britain, though many of the hosts were from other countries.

I guess it was just vids+beavus and butthead/real word repeats at the time

hahahaha

also "Miss You Much" is SUCH A FUCKING JAM

lol I had typoed "HAM", I might start saying that now ("ooh watch out, that's my HAM")

lol

I nearly made this my number one, just awesome in so many ways.

after Michael died i started hearing "This Place Hotel" a lot but never "Can You Feel It," weird

'Can You Feel It', that is.

Sorry about that.

;_;

so Together Again didn't make it and If is the highest placing Janet song, right?

RIP "Runaway", you continue to be underrated ;_;

Watch out for 'Janet in Super Bowl Boob Mishap' straight in at #3.

CYFI is dope and as a Europeaner it does seem odd people would know it. Seems like such a ubiquitus (sp?) song. Also I now need to go find a dictionary after finding out I'm not sure how to spell ubiquitus (sp?).
