You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''This Place Hotel'''" (originally named "'''Heartbreak Hotel'''") is a 1980 song by [[the Jacksons]], written  by Michael Jackson. While his brothers did not sing background vocals, they were credited with playing [[Percussion instrument|percussion]] on the album while brother [[Tito Jackson|Tito]] contributed a guitar solo. The song has a [[tempo]] of 98 beats per minute, making it notably slower than many of the other disco-based songs on the album. In the song, the protagonist speaks of a time when ten years ago, he took his girlfriend to a hotel for a romantic night—only to find out that it was designed specifically to break couples up. The staff at the hotel gave the girl the impression that he had cheated on her with someone else, something he did not do, which caused her to break up with him in the hotel.

''[[Record World]]'' praised Michael Jackson's lead vocal, the "hypnotic chorus backing" and the horn / string arrangement.<ref name=rw>((cite magazine|magazine=Record World|date=November 29, 1980|page=1|accessdate=2023-02-22|title=Hits of the Week|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Record-World/80s/80/RW-1980-11-29.pdf))</ref>

==Chart success==
The song reached No. 22 on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' [[Pop music|pop]] singles chart and No. 2 on the R&B singles chart.<ref>((cite book |title= Top R&B/Hip-Hop Singles: 1942-2004|last=Whitburn |first=Joel |author-link=Joel Whitburn |year=2004 |publisher=Record Research |page=287))</ref> "This Place Hotel" was the group's second biggest single off their ''[[Triumph (The Jacksons album)|Triumph]]'' album, behind "[[Lovely One]]". The song, in turn, became a popular concert performance for the group's next two tours into Michael's own ''[[Bad (album)|Bad]]'' tour. The song, like "[[Can You Feel It (The Jacksons song)|Can You Feel It]]", was [[Sampling (music)|sampled]] fairly often in [[Hip hop music|hip hop]].

==Name change==
The song's title was changed to "This Place Hotel" to avoid confusion with the 1956 [[Elvis Presley]] hit, "[[Heartbreak Hotel]]". Michael said he was unaware of the Presley song and the fact that the title was changed. He also denied being influenced by Presley in his autobiography ''[[Moonwalk (book)|Moonwalk]]'', but acknowledged Presley's importance to both [[black music|black]] and white music.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/1466293/michael-jackson-elvis-presley-influence-inspiration-lisa-marie-presley|title = Michael Jackson denied being influenced by Elvis Presley|date = 22 July 2021))</ref>

The original title of "Heartbreak Hotel" was used and released commercially on [[Gramophone record|7" vinyl]] in many countries, though a 2-track 12" [[maxi single]] was produced and  [[Promotional recording|promotional-only]] copies, given to radio stations and reviewers and a limited 2-track Japanese [[mini CD single]] was commercially released in November 1988 (using the newly chosen title), to coincide with the Michael Jackson  [[Bad (tour)|Bad tour]].

==Performances==
The song was performed on the Jacksons' [[Triumph Tour]] (thus appears on ''[[The Jacksons Live]]'' album) and was subsequently used on the Jacksons' [[Victory Tour (The Jacksons tour)|Victory Tour]]. When Michael Jackson first toured as a solo act, "This Place Hotel" was the only Jacksons song to be used in both legs of the [[Bad World Tour]], whereas the other songs by the group (with the exception of a medley of early [[Jackson 5]] hits) were retired during the second leg. A spoken word and synth recording preceded the song on the first leg of the ''Bad'' tour, but for the second leg of the tour (and on the subsequent [[Dangerous World Tour]]) that recording was used as an intro to Jackson's hit "[[Smooth Criminal]]" instead.

==Releases==
The song was included on Michael Jackson's ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Michael Jackson album)|The Ultimate Collection]]'' and it has been remixed on the ''[[Immortal (Michael Jackson album)|Immortal]]'' album in 2011 and was performed live during the ''Immortal World Tour (Cirque de Soleil)'' as well as ''[[Michael Jackson: One]]''. It was also part of Jackson's Halloween-themed collection, ''[[Scream (Michael Jackson album)|Scream]]'' (2017). A live version of the song is available on the 2012 DVD ''[[Live at Wembley July 16, 1988]]''. On March 23, 2014, a video clip of a live performance of the song from the [[Victory Tour (The Jacksons tour)|Victory Tour]] was uploaded to the Jacksons' official YouTube account.
