Now while MJ's stuff was, um, red hot, "Start Over" sounds like it could've been a demo for something that evolved into the great stuff that ended up on Thriller album. Not a good look when a Ross cut sounds like the demo to something better cut a year or more ago.
That's How You Start Over is the best track on the album. Listening to it just now, it could have easily been a track on her Baby It's Me album or her Ross '78 album. It sound like an older track, but again it's the best track on this album.
