the album has Michael's sequins all over it

He and Pete Wentz are self proclaimed MJ stans and knowing how MJ influenced Patrick's singing and how they covered his songs in the past, I EXPECTED it to have MJ-isms.....

but not like this.

With Timberlake and others, it sounds like they went into the studio to make a Michael-esque song, with the MJ mannerisms are already mapped out on paper and a video already in mind. With Patrick and songs like Explode, This City, Dance Miserable, Everybody Wants Somebody, it sounds like someone who didn't set out to make Michael Jackson-ish songs, but someone who had Michael's music so embedded in him that it just turned out that way, if that makes any sense.

I could see Michael singing Everybody Wants Somebody and a couple more from Patrick's album
