I mean ..and I'm not versed on this lawsuit.....

but if Mike was being accused of copying someone elses melody or lyrics....How does him being able to beatbox and scat the song prove that he wasn't doing that with someone else's song?

I mean it's all great and everything......again I don't know much about this lawsuit..but if someone had written that melody or the lyrics they could argue that all mike was doing was frelancing what someone else did..

All I honestly get from this footage is that Mike was talented vocally with the scats and beatboxing so to speak...but I mean..a lot of what he's talking about he "heard" in his head about that song..isn't on the actual record itself...

I don't know...not dissing mike, but I've seen/heard people put way way too much into footage like this to hype up Mike's songwriting and producing skills... to me this doesn't really suppor that..

but again...great video....Mike was a bad bad dude..no doubt.

From as far back as 1984. He, Lionel Richie, and Rod Temperton were being sued for Thriller, The Girl Is Mine, Billie Jean, and We Are The World

He won the case in '84 but the plaintiffs appealed or something
