Michael Jackson, ‘Hollywood Tonight’ – Song Spotlight

Michael Jackson may be gone, but he will never be forgotten -- as the late famed music icon lives on through his latest single, 'Hollywood Tonight.'

Jackson's nephew, Taryll Jackson, takes over the spoken vocals for this single, which appears on the 2010 'Michael' album. MJ left behind this then-unfinished song, written around the same time as his 'Invincible' record. It was completed based on his handwritten notes.

Taryll's spoken parts fill in purposefully around Jackson's high-tempo hit, and give us some background info on the fame-seeking girl in the song. He enlightens us on the Hollywood lady's motivation mid-song, with this breakdown:

"She gave up her life, to follow her dreams / Left behind everything, for the movie scene / Nothing more she could want, she was determined to follow her plan / She wanted Hollywood, she wanted it bad / Now that she got her dream, she became a star / It all looked so good, but only good from afar / Imprisoned in every paparazzi's camera, every guy wished they could"

'Hollywood Tonight' is the second single from 'Michael' -- an album compiled of formerly unreleased tracks, left behind by Jackson. This song not only speaks to follow your dreams, but it tells us that the King of Pop will live forever through his music.
