MJ is just too far out of touch with reality to do anything significant or meaningful in the music world anymore.
He'll continue to make news for the whole sideshow aspect of his life, and the new album will make news, whenever it's released, cause it'll be the first new music since his aquittal, but he's basically become Latoya with a bit more talent.
And even the whole weirdness thing isn't that interesting anymore.
The one bright spot on the whole MJ horizon is the tell all book one of his kids is sure to write. I can't wait till Prince, Paris or Blanket shares their tales of sitting in front of the big screen TV sippin' on their cans of Jesus Juice and watching repeated showings of The Exorcist with the Cryptkeeper they call Daddy. lol
nod Sooner or later there will be another MJ's scandal about his children ( their origins, their education..).

To quote Morris E. Day(the only!):
"Such Nastiness."

But seriously, half of today's music wouldn't be the way it is if there had been no Michael Jackson. It's not fair to judge Michael on the happenings in his personal life when the Music is what matters. Granted that His body of work isn't as large as Prince's, but I think that can be attributed to Michael being more mainstream than Prince. There's been at least one Number One Song off of every MJ album on some chart in the world, and Thriller 25's selling well. And the way he's collaborating on his new music with Will.I.Am and others as well, I think it's a step in the right direction towards showing the public that he can still sing and that he IS relevant.

lowkey

im not interested in seeing mj perform for the simple fact i cant look at the dude,he looks a complete mess. but i say as long as an artist has fans that wanna hear them, they should continue making music. the problem with mj is he seems scared or reluctant for whatever reason to release new music. mike has to bury that huge ego and realize that nobody is selling 20 million records anymore, he need to go in the studio and concentrate on making some good music and put the shit out for his fans.dont worry about the 30 million dollar budget, the 10 million dollar videos, the soldiers and statues running behind him,the special awards declaring him the greatest thing on earth....just make a damn album mike.

I can't believe a board that worships JB is bagging out MJ for performing the same songs at every concert, using the same moves, the same outfits etc. What's the difference between MJ wearing the single glove, sequined jacket and black fedora, performing Billie Jean and doing the moonwalk at every concert and JB singing Please Please Please and doing the cape routine at every concert?

watching a Michael Jackson concert or watching a hip hop concert

choose one lol


Same shit.

That's not a show/concert to me. Maybe it is for people that are nuts about dancing, but I want more than some low budget hood ass drag queen way off Broadway show. Like I said, you can find that on a street corner and the dancing(at least compared to Mike now)would be better.


That's exactly what I've compared those type of performances to....a Broadway show. A stage full of dancers doing a bunch of tired choreographed moves. Michael is probably the first one I remember doing it. Now his sister does it and all these damn shit hoppers do it. Well, the shit hoppers have to do it because they need a bunch of dancers to fill up the stage so no one will notice that there aren't any instruments.

When I go to a concert, I want to hear some good music. As far as the dancing goes, it was much better when the performer danced spontaneous on the stage because they just naturally felt the music. If something makes your ass move, it just comes natural, it's not rehearsed and choreographed. And spontaneous dancing usually comes out looking like they used to do on "Soul Train", not some sissified, ballet looking, "Fame" looking, "Solid Gold Dancers" looking bullshit.

The smoke and mirrors comment is completely absurd when referring to Prince as even folks who do not like him agree that he is one of the most talented musicians and dynamic LIVE performers of all time. You pointed out a handful of performances for a man who has toured and performed live constantly for more than three decades. At this point Prince is still touring strong because the live music at his concerts is greater than any dance routine, raunchy lyric or special effect.

MJ, on the other hand, probably has some reservations about getting back out there because he is almost 50 and cannot dance like he did 20 years ago. So he is going to have to rely more on the music than the dancing and special effects. Maybe he is afraid that he cannot live up to his legend anymore.


Michael did all that to himself. If he had made more normal videos like "Billie Jean", he wouldn't have that problem today. But "Billie Jean" was a success and he had to bring in a bunch of dancers for the "Beat It" video and even more with the "Thriller" video. That was fine for back then because it wasn't overdone. However, with each damn video, he had to keep getting more and more dancers in and participate in all these choreographed dances with them.

Hell, it was better when he was with his brothers, and they would dance a little, and spin a little. Their stuff was choreographed but not too choreographed. It didn't look like "Fame" or "Solid Gold". And the "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" and "Rock With You" videos were great too and he simply danced spontaneously by himself. The focus was on the music back then and the dancing was simply what he did because he felt the music.

In what sense? Thriller 25 is one of the biggest selling albums this year! And as long as Michael doesn't say, that he won't release any new music anymore, his career is just on hiatus!


In the sense that he doesn't perform anymore and doesn't release new materials...

And please, watch the 30th anniversary concert... The guy lost it... But he lost it a long time ago...


I agree about Michael's career being over. Lets face it ever since he been accused of child molestation people loss respect for him. Thats just my honest opinion. Feel free to disagree with me.

I agree with you. There was something so much more natural and endearing about MJ back in the day. Now when I see clips of his later performances it just seems like he is going through the motions. I just don't get the feeling that he is having a good time up there. I wonder if he even enjoys performing anymore. Either way, it's sad and a waste to me. He really squandered some of his best years.

well maybe its because Michael knows that people just arent feeling him anymore since the child molestation trial. I think people are just as Chris Rock says " are fucking done with Michael and have turned in their gloves." lol lol
