"This Day In HIStory" July 21, 2001 ~ "Speechless" Is Released.

On July 21, 2001, Michael Jackson’s Speechless is released.
Michael Jackson wrote “Speechless” after a water balloon fight with children in Germany. In an interview with Vibe magazine, the musician commented, “I was so happy after the fight that I ran upstairs in their house and wrote ‘Speechless’. Fun inspires me. I hate to say that, because it’s such a romantic song.” He added, “But it was the fight that did it. I was happy, and I wrote it in its entirety right there. I felt it would be good enough for the album. Out of the bliss comes magic, wonderment, and creativity.”
“Speechless” was one of only two song from Invincible to be written solely by Jackson.
Vaughn Watson of The Providence Journal hailed “Speechless” as Invincible’s “best song, and one of Jackson’s finest of any album”. He added that with the song, the musician acknowledged the pain that accompanies isolation.

I used an app on my phone called voice pro, it can do pretty good quality if you change the settings. But you could just block the lens on the camera and sing?
