You just answered your own question... he made platinum from his last album due to his fan base... not the actual music itself. You're probably right though... he can just jump on a stage and everybody will go nuts because of who he is. A true comeback in my mind would be him releasing an album of a "Dangerous" caliber where he isn't repeating past glories and he isn't trying to be something he isn't. Invincible was a flop by Michael Jackson standards... forget the numbers. Had some unknown artist made that album, perhaps it would have worked better (perhaps it would have been easier forgotten)... the style and sounds just didn't work for him.
