Hold my hand by Michael Jackson and Akon was a sure hit, immediately after its release. This finally made us hear Michael Jackson's voice on the radio and on TV once more. Their tandem made the song even more of a masterpiece. Michael's voice and Akon's style was incorporated well in this song. For me, they did a good work in preserving Michael's unfinished song.
Hold my hand is simple, yet very moving and convicting to each and all. It is about being there for each other in this world of crisis. Friends, family, and lovers can relate much to its meaning. Michael never fails to tell the world of his thoughts and dreams for the society we are in. Thanks to Akon for making it possible for this song to be heard and known by us.
Akon, is known to be a good collaborator. He has been working with various artists of various songs and he always gets the same adoration from the public. Though this is a fact, you cannot stay away from those who are also generous of their negative criticisms. The hold my hand single gained a lot of negative reviews as much as it gained a lot of positive reviews. Some say that Akon and the producers of this single failed to incorporate Michael's personality and character, especially in the video. They say that the song is very Akon like and Michael's direction of his art in music and films were never seen. Everybody knows about Michael Jackson's perfectionist attitude towards his music and MTVs and they say that it is only at this time that we truly miss Michael Jackson because it is during this time that his absence is visible.
I don't think it is fair that people will criticize Akon nor the producers of this single. Certainly it is impossible to solely see Michael Jackson's whole work of art through this video as he is not able to interfere and direct anymore, but the people behind the success of this single did the best they could in making this a tribute to Michael and a treat to the fans as well. I have always been an Akon fan and nonetheless, an avid Micheal Jackson fan. I personally think that the song was brilliantly made and that if Michael Jackson were to speak about it at this very point in time, he will be glad that his song was preserved well.
