"You Rock My World" is a song by American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson. It was the debut single from his 2001 album Invincible. The song peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Jackson's last top ten hit in the United States. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 44th Grammy Awards. The music video for the song is the last to feature any participation from Jackson; the follow-up single, "Butterflies", had no video, and he does not appear in the video for "Cry". This was the only song from Invincible to have ever been performed live and the last brand new solo song performed by Jackson. The song is considered Jackson's last hit before his death. Music Video The music video for "You Rock My World" was premiered in Europe, Asia, and South Africa on September 21, 2001. In wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the US, the premiere was delayed there until September 26. Like many of Jackson's music videos, this one takes the form of a short film, based on a story written by Michael Jackson and Paul Hunter. It follows a story in which Michael Jackson and Chris Tucker spot an attractive woman (played by actress-choreographer Kishaya Dudley) and follow her into a gangster-infested nightclub (called The Waterfront Hotel, in reference to the famous film starring Marlon Brando, who plays the club's owner in this music video). Obviously, they are not wanted there, because it seems the woman already has a love interest (played <b>...</b>

You Rock My World - Michael Jackson - A Cappella Multitrack Cover - JB Craipeau
tinyurl.com tinyurl.com HD QUALITY/QUALITÉ HD : www.youtube.com Bonjour à tous ! Voici une reprise du hit "You Rock My World" que j'ai intégralement enregistré a cappella en hommage au roi de la pop. Il n'y a aucun instrument, batterie, synthé, octavieur ni sampler. J'ai ajouté quelques effets (reverb, delay, compresseur, equalisation, noise gate et bass amp). J'ai mis 5 jours pour repiquer chaque voix, les enregistrer, les filmer et faire le montage. J'ai utilisé 38 pistes (guitare, basse, grosse caisse, caisse claire, 2 shakers, claps, 3 pianos, 3 claviers, 4 violons, 4 nappes de violons, 16 voix choeurs, 1 voix lead) mais certaines n'apparaissent pas dans la video dans un soucis de taille et de temps de montage... La plupart des voix se répètent j'ai donc fait des boucles (loops). Montage réalisé webcam, carte son presonus FP10, micro sudio projects via Logic Pro, iMovie et Final Cut Express (Mac). Pour ceux qui se poseraient la question : non il n'y a pas auto tune, melodyne, d'octavieurs ou vocodeurs. J'espère que vous allez prendre du plaisir à regarder mon travail et que cela vous donnera l'envie de réécouter les tubes de Michael Jackson.

This is a remastered version of a live performance by Michael Jackson, somehow it looks to me like whoever was the engineer on this show was more interested in people's cheers than the music itself, not to mention that the whole mix quality sucks, so i decided to play again several of the instruments to give it back the "punch" and stereo image that it deserves.

"You Rock My World" was officially released as the lead single from the album in late August 2001, by Epic Records. The chord progression in the song is B7–C9–A7–D–B7. Chris Tucker voices the vocal introduction of the song. Lyrically, the song's lyrics are about being in love, as well as the effect that it can have, as evident in the opening line, "My life will never be the same, 'cause, girl, you came and changed the way I walk, the way I talk, I cannot explain" Reviewer Andrew Hamilton of Allmusic stated that, "If anybody other than Michael Jackson had released 'You Rock My World' with the tons of publicity and promotion it was accorded, it would have slam dunked the charts and been a multiple award winner. It sold well and got play everywhere, but too many critics panned the song and the album it came from as not being good enough for an artist on Jackson's level."James Hunter of Rolling Stone praised the song's vocal rhythms as being "finely sculpted" and "exquisite". Mark Beaumont, a writer for NME, described the song as being a "disco classic" and commented that he felt that the song's brief intro was "funnier than Chris Evans on fire". Catherine Halaby of Yale Daily News stated that the song "showcases the best of 'classic Michael'", and described the song as being "funky, catchy, upbeat, not too creepy". "You Rock My World" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance - Male at the 44th Grammy Awards, but it lost the award to James Taylor's "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight". It was Jackson's first Grammy nomination since 1997, for his single "Earth Song", and his first nomination in that category since 1995.
