TearsInHeaven Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 "In the Closet" was originally conceived as a duet between Jackson and Madonna. According to a 1992 interview with British journalist Jonathan Ross, Madonna said she worked on some lyrical ideas for the song but when she presented them to Michael, he decided they were too provocative and they decided not to continue with the project. Stephanie of Monaco eventually had Madonna's part. Also, Michael Jackson did not like M's idea for the video where Madonna had to be dressed as a man and Michael was supposed to be in full drag I found online the supposed lyrics M wrote for the song - no idea whether this is genuine or not, i think M would have written something classier and more subtle.

Apples388 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 There's no way Madonna wrote those lyrics. Glad she never did "In the Closet" with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rocco Papa Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) I'm sorry, but I couldn't get past the first few lines of those so-called "lyrics" without laughing!! There's SomethingI Have To giveTo YouIf You Promise not to comeI Cannot Contain MyselfWhen you're finger is inside meI'm So horny On the plus side, I aboslutely ADORE everything about the "Dangerous" album, "In the Closet" included. I also find it interesting how Michael worked with Herb Ritts & Naomi Campbell on the video. Madonna famously worked with Herb and even got him into directing music videos. And who could forget Naomi's appearance in the "Sex" book? Just a coincidence?

albertogerard Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Madonna's never written anything that dirty, unsubtle and stupid for any of her own albums. Even on "Erotica" when she says 'Bend Over Baby, I'm gonna make you smile", I can almost hear Madonna laughing on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phineaspoe Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Never knew about this. "In the Closet" is an amazing song. Would've been nice for Madge to have been included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'm glad she didn't do it. MJ is great, but his duets are too weak. He's like Madonna: full force but only alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TearsInHeaven Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 also, i wonder if what she wrote has been "recycled" in some other song of her or the whole thing was just binned if she is going to do another Q&A on Reddit i am going to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vocalism Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'm sorry this never happened. Even if Madonna had sung the song as it was finally released, it would have been great. I like the track a lot, and Madonna would have made it even better - at least sexier than that thin-voiced studio singer he used. And it would have undoubtedly hit #1. It went to #6 without M involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VogueMusic Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 It's one of his best songs. It even sounds like something that would have written together...so I'm still left wondering what was different about her lyrical ideas. Perhaps more tongue-in-cheek humor, more double entendre... I mean, the final lyrics on his version are still pretty provocative for a Michael Jackson song, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LikeAPrayer Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 He did end up going with Herb Ritts for the video, who of course was most famous for his association with Madonna at the time (and for finally making Janet seem sexy in her Love Will Never Do video).

I remember reading that MJ was very influenced by Janet's Rhythm Nation album for Dangerous, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's why he worked with Herb. He apparently used "Rhythm Nation" as an example of what he wanted to do for the album musically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
