Yeah they just totally forgot about Invincible

Michael Jackson will defo perform at the grammies. Will.i.am is lined up to perform TGIM08. How the fuck is he going to do that with Michael? They are trying there best to keep a secret but it's becoming a bit too obvious now that Michael is the main attraction of this year's grammy awards.

He's being very cautious. In light of everything that's happened with him over the years, he's probably trying to take the path of least resistance back to the spotlight. A good strong (NEW, not rehashed) single would work much better than all of the fancy side-stepping he's doing.

BlaqueKnight said:

You're absolutely right.It's sad,though,that he wants to spend so much time re-living past glories.Why is so hard for him to come out with an excellent,mindblowing NEW single?

SoulAlive said:

Don't be ridunk. Any other artist would be well within their rights to commemorate the anniversary of their most successful album. But because it's MJ he's "re-living former glory". If he didn't do anything to commemorate Thriller 25 people would still be bitching. So he pretty much can't win with a lot of people.

DarlingDiana said:

Nothing wrong with releasing a 25th anniversary reissue of a classic album.But come on...are the remixes,TV spots and all this promotion really necessary? It's gonna make people think he's desperate and living in the past.Besides,everyone on the planet already owns a copy of 'Thriller'.

SoulAlive said:

Well it's Sony BMG who've really been pushing it. I think MJ was interested in doing the remixes, but the TV spots and huge promotional campaign is all driven by Sony BMG. They've been on MJ's case about promoting the album. But it's not like MJ hasn't been doing anything in terms of new material. With a rumoured release date of August 2008, it seems MJ has actually been working on pretty thoroughly for the last year and a half. It'll be about two years come August since he started on the album. That's a decent effort for the perfection that MJ is.

DarlingDiana said:

does MJ still record for Sony? Are they gonna release his new album?

SoulAlive said:

All indications say yes. The source that all fans are getting the August 08 date from has Sony BMG as his label.

DarlingDiana said:

is Tommy Mottola still there? You know,the guy that Michael says is a racist,devilish man?

SoulAlive said:

No, the "racist devil" left Sony Music in 2003 pretty much because of the fight he had with Michael.

DarlingDiana said:

so,it looks like Michael won,lol.

Right. I really don't know what to think but it's like he gives people an excuse to either feel sorry for him or criticize him when he does something because he doesn't really wanna do it. I mean, I understand the trial took a lot out of him but he tired to be optimistic that he'll overcome it and actually do something like perform but everything we've been hearing is rumor after rumor after rumor. It's like you can take the name 'pop' away and put 'rumors' in front of it. Because that's all it is now, the king of "rumors". I would hope if he is performing, that it's for the NEW ALBUM.

Just pathetic

MJ needs to stop making music

And MJ fans are nuts

And MJ fans are nuts

MJ will never ever perform until he drops a new album , thats how he works, all the so-called pefromances at the WMA 2006 or other award shows are created by the media and some of his fanatical fans , MJ never said that he is gonna perform then for some reason he cnaceled it because that he is scared from the audience . ..

The claim that Mj was scared and shocked at the WMA2006 is a laughable joke, Mj wasn't even scared when he was a child on stage how he can be when he is a grown man , It doesn't make any sense.

MJ never intened to perfrom in any award shows in the past three years , all of them created by the media and fans, I think he will perform when he has a new album out and when he's ready
