Yeah, maybe he wants closure!
Well, I don't define that as being 'over'.When I say "over" I mean strictly in the sense of being a major or domninant commerical artist. For example, Amy Winehouse is currently a major or dominant commerical artist. When she releases her next album, there will be certain sales expectations. People will expect her album to be one of the top sellers of the year. I am strickly talking numbers here -- MASS APPEAL in a commercial sense.
When I say "over" I don't mean in the sense of being artisitic or creatively over (for example).
Say it Mello! PPL just need to shut the hell up & let the man do what he's gonna do! None of us have the right to judge Michael! He knows what he's doing!
You know, I really don't get it. :mello:
No artist stays on top forever, but just because they may not be on top (and on top of what one might ask? On top of a heap of smelly crappy music? Is that what people want?), we can't enjoy them anymore? :huh:
I love the fans. Always oh so positive!
Michael will be over when he feels like it. That's my answer. He's too talented to ever become irrelivent, I'm serious.
That article, which I didn't read, I just glanced at it, saw the last line, and knew it was the worst trash ever, isn't conclusive about anything.
Michael hasn't had anything less then a number one since "OTW" and there's no reason or indication that it will change any time soon. He has massive staying power simply because he can do what no one else on this planet can.
You may be right that I'm pessimistic. But, on some days, I'm way optimistic.
I just don't want to be a deluded MJ fan.
So I'm looking for some kind of objectivie evidence let's say.
What objective measure would you say we could use to determine this?
Michael will be over when he feels like it.
Im just leaving my mark ..
that I have read this and I will not respond to the
NONSENSE -- becuase if I let out my true thoughts
I would probaby be banned thats ALL .. (smile)
The journalists will be over...Michael is immortal due to his legacy!
Well that.:lol: Ok.. here it is in a short version:
What would you have to see for you to be convinced that MJ is over as a significant or dominant commercial force?
For example, if "Thriller 25" sells 200,000 copies and the new album sells (even after significant promotion, videos etc.) 600,000 copies, would that be convincing to you?
If not, what would be?

But there are loads of great acts that are no longer commercially significant. For example:
- Stevie Wonder
- Paul MacCartney
- The Rolling Stones
- Prince
What would prove it?? Well, if a new album with all new material would bomb! Otherwise there is no real way of telling! If you look at catalog sales, he's still going strong! As good or even better as his contemporaries!
And as for Janet's last 3 album flopping! It was only 2! "All for you" did well!
