Dangerous ist ein Muss für jeden Fan, Nicht-Fan oder Kritiker von Michael Jackson und auch für jeden Musikliebhaber. Dr. Susan Fast hat Michael Jacksons Album von 1991 mit Akribie auf eine Art untersucht, wie es noch nie zuvor getan wurde, und indem sie dies tut, befördert sie Jackson dahin zurück, wo er hingehört: Ins Rampenlicht als der hochtalentierte schwarze Musiker und Künstler, der er war … und gefährlich war er auch (dangerous)!

Das Buch bringt den Leser außerdem dazu, die Musik wieder (neu) zu hören und die Short Films wieder und wieder ansehen zu wollen.

“Dangerous” è una lettura imperdibile per i fan di Michael Jackson, i non-appassionati, critici o amanti della musica. La Dr. Susan Fast meticolosamente ha studiato l’album del 1991 di Michael Jackson in un modo che non è mai stato fatto prima, così lei ha restituito a Jackson il suo posto d’onore: come artista e musicista nero di grande talento, che è stato… ed era pericoloso. Il libro stimola anche ad ascoltare la musica e rivedere i cortometraggi più e più volte.

‘Hee hee hee’: Michael Jackson and the Transgendered Erotics of Voice

‘Throats are part of the erotic act, commanding, whispering, swallowing. Through his cries, whispers, groans, whines, and grunts. Michael Jackson occupies a third space of gender.’ Francesca Royster explores the sexualisation of Jackson’s voice throughout his earlier solo works, ‘Off The Wall’, ‘Thriller’ and ‘Bad’ while contextualising his voice within the wider concept of African-American sexuality and its representation.
