Why on earth has "Michael" got so many positive reviews on Amazon?

I seriously do not understand this. Will Michael Jackson fans praise anything with his name on it? Does it not matter to these people that Michael has been betrayed by people who were supposed to be his friends (Cascios, Teddy Riley) and trusted associates (Branca)?

In the early 2000s, Ozzy Osbourne re-released two of his classic early 80s albums, and to avoid having to pay his old band for their contributions, he got session musicians to re-record the backing music. The fans were outaged and if you look on Amazon.com, out of the 230 reviews on the site, an overwhelming 145 fans have protested against this by giving the album one star out of five. See for yourself: http://www.amazon.com/Bli...Descending

Those are fans who CARE about integrity and authenticity. Why don't MJ fans care about this? Do they not realise that the only way the estate will listen is if the fans stand against what they have done?

FANS WHO CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF MICHAEL'S UNRELEASED MATERIAL SHOULD LET THEIR VOICES BE HEARD ON AMAZON.COM.There are only 21 one star reviews for Michael on Amazon (one of them is me) and a shocking 135 five star reviews. Leave your one star review HERE: http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Jackso...DateDescending

It's simple. A large majority of MJ fans are musically ignorant and like it on a superficial level.

I didn't even know what Michael was until I clicked on the thread. But the funny thing is I have that album.. I bought it as soon as it came out. I listened to it for a good week. It's a good album, especially since it wasn't actually finished. I'm a die hard MJ fan but I know everyting he did is not absolute gold.. but damn it wasn't that fuckin bad.. chill out

I don't personally believe that

And even if it is true, it wouldn't bother me.

They like it. What is difficult to understand about that? Those people can ask the same about why you don't like it.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

That's the problem. Ok so you will buy music that is not actually from said artist? lol

Might as well buy the new Prince album I only own...he came to my house and spent the night and recorded 10 tracks. wink

Oh, this is a very average album.
I do not think it's worse than the Invincible (despite the fact that some of the songs - are obvious fakes eek ). On this album there are two very good songs - "Behind the mask" and "Another Day". smile The remaining songs .... let's say, I did not listen to them already 9-10 months and do not miss.... lol Mediocre at best
