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.

Basically repeating what you said earlier.
My only arguement was his a great artist and just because his last album did not do so well according to MJ standards and his tarnish image, does not mean his a bad artist or takes away from his success period. People bring this up ALL the time and it is never going to take away from MJ's success as an artist.
His past glories and classics will always be more successful which me and you both agreed with and is true. Michael is just trying to make music and people are trying to compete Michael with Michael. Just enjoy Michael Jackson as an artist. So what if his next album does not do so well and if it is a success good for him. Its just nice to see a great artist/ performer returning to what he does best and not the scandels.
