Invincible sold 8 million copies worldwide, it did alright, but that's low for his standards.  The Rock My World video was awesome, there was a long version where he had some dance scenes with some chick that were off the hook, he even had some new stuff (where he danced like frankenstein, anybody see that part?) that was great.  

He showed up at the BET Music Awards last month with James Brown, and danced with him on Stage, it was awesome, then he gave him a lifetime achievment award.  

He's been spending a lot of time in Florida lately, he's buying a big house down there, I think he goes on vacation for months at a time while he's recording.  He's been working on a new album, and I think it's going to be a box set for Sony, with new songs on it.  

People will never get tired of Michael Jackson, they'll always make fun of him, or be entertained by him.  He's only 44 or so, he still has 30 years of performing left in him.  If you think he's going anywhere soon, you're crazy.  He has the record for greatest distance between #1 songs (he had one in the early 70's, then his latest was in 95, 25 years later, nobody else has matched that).  He was making #1 hits 30 years ago, and he'll probably have a #1 hit 30 years from now.

If you think he's really gone anywhere, or people have forgotten about him, look at the U.K. billboard top 100 charts, he currently has 3 albums on it, LOL.

bassically sony did michael over when it came to invincible. It was a good album with great songs but sony never pushed it. u rock my world sold well but then cry came out with no promotion there was also a hot remix of butterflies with eve that never got released. the rumour is that sony tried to bleed michael jackson dry by giving him money for the album and then not promoting it, so it wouldnt sell. They hoped this would cause michael to sell to them the beatles publishing rights which would constantly bring in millions to the owners.

KURUPTION-81:
oh yeah hmv has got a 3 for 20 quid deal going on u can get

off the wall
thriller
bad
dangerous
invincible

Trauma-san:
^ Yeah, tha'ts pretty much how the sony deal went down.  


Sony has lost their ASS on a ton of albums over the past 2 years, culminating with the head of the label, tommy motolla, getting fired (stepping down, yeah right).  They restructured, so michael made peace with them.  Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey are friends, and I think Michael didn't like the way Tommy treated Mariah after they were divorced, so that's probably part of it.
