The more pertinent point is that Michael is a fucking liar! Michael did not select these artists because he likes them. He selected them because he wants to reach the kids and show how relevant he is.

How do you know?? How do you know what or who Michael likes and what and who he doesn't like?? Have you asked him lately??

Check out The Home Movies program. He tells his colleagues privately how much he hates touring, then he faces the camera with a look of total sincerity and says "I love touring". Even his employees laughed because he was so shamelessly lying. If they hadn't laughed, he would have carried on lying and the fans would have believed it. Michael obviously included that in the program because he thought it was funny, but it actually revealed a lot more than he realised.

So what? It was wildly known before, that he isn't crazy about the touring aspect! He said after Bad, that it was his last tour! He said after Dangerous, that it was his last tour and he said it after HIStory... so no revelation there! He likes the performing but hates almost everything else that comes with it! Seeing how his live on the road is, I somewhat can understand him! And yes, that segment was funny! If he would be as phony as you think he is, he wouldn't put that segment on at all... so whatever!

Hello! Nice to see you! A lot of people think that MJ fans are weird! But you prove them wrong! You are a well-adjusted person! There is nothing remotely weird about you! Nor is it fair to say you are attracted to MJ because you recognise a fellow kook! You are not a kook! You are totally fine! It's everyone else that has the problem!

I am not crazy about those remixes either, nor am I excited about his collaboration with these "artists".
I don´t care if he wants to re-release Thriller. I wouldn´t care if he re-released it twenty more times. If people are willing to own ten copies of Thriller than I guess it´s their business.
I would love Mike to release some new stuff, but I understand that he´s in a different phase of life right now and that he doesn´t owe the world anything.
As for that "phony" thing... he´s been in the business since five years old. Keeping a nice face for public must be as natural for him as breathing, but I took that particular segment as a joke because as has been already said - everybody knows he hates touring.
"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."
