Invincibble never really resonated with me - and i agree with the general feeling that the uptempo numbers were weak. They've also dated pretty badly. that said - some of the slower numbers and ballads are MJ at his best. | |

The only reason Invincible has sold less than Michael's other album, is because it's too long. If you would cut the album down to 10 songs, it would be wayyyyy better.
Heartbreaker, Break of Dawn, You Rock My World, Whatever Happens, Butterflies, Speechless, Don't Walk Away, Cry, Heaven Can Wait, You are my life would have made a super album. | |

I would say the real reason for the "failure" was the lack of promotion. IF you compare it with the History album with statues all over the world, 9 great music videos, performance at award shows, world tour, posters everywhere, it is obvious that Invincible did not get promoted at all (whoever is to blame for it). I don´t think many people even knew he released another album unless they followed new music. I don´t remember any hype about Invincible at all. even the Rock My World video did not get played that much. I´ve seen the full version only twice on MTV. They played the short version for about a month and that was it. "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." | |

I think length and promotion do have something to do with it - but you still cant escape the fact that the album seriously lacked in those amazing MJ moments. While some of the ballads were nice there was nothing on there that made me go wow. Even HIStory (and not so great record also) had some amazing moments on there (Stranger in moscow, TDCAU) and i think this album was lacking of any true MJ moments. | |

I think there are at least two amazing MJ moments - Butterflies and Whatever Happens. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent.

I would love both songs on the album. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent.

I just can't stop loving you was like the fourth best song on Bad. Fly away is terrible. That's why it was left out. | |

Not on the copy I have! Let's see... "Leave Me Alone," "Another Part of Me," "Man in the Mirror," "Liberian Girl," "The Way You Make Me Feel," "Dirty Diana"... nope, definitely not fourth best. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Where is Smooth Criminal. No way 'Another Part of Me' is No 2. This is the order: Man in the Mirror Leave Me Alone Smooth Criminal IJCSLY Bad Another Part of Me TWYMMF Dirty Diana Liberian Girl Speed Demon Just Good Friends | |

No way 'Another Part of Me' is No 2. I was naming my favorites (not in any specific order). I love "Smooth Criminal," but I think it's overrated (but better than IJCSLY). FWIW, I like all of the tracks to some degree. IMO: 1. Leave Me Alone 2. Man in the Mirror 3. Liberian Girl 4. Another Part of Me 5. Dirty Diana 6. Speed Demon 7. The Way You Make Me Feel 8. Bad 9. Smooth Criminal 10. I Just Can't Stop Loving You 11. Just Good Friends "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

as much as I laugh at I just can't stop loving you, it's still infectious and no one should toy with bad, the flow start to finish is perfect in my opinion. | |
