so you are a media fanatic. you go by what you think the media says..plus you lump all the media into one. plus you use inflammatory words. you are the only one flying the shit, becauase you are the only one getting personal. we were using info, and you were hurling insults. you are discounting what many artists are doing right now, with MJ, behind the scenes. you decide to blind yourself to that, for your arguments sake..and i do mean arguement. are you calling neyo akon and these other artists liars? they are working with MJ right now. you just said that you don't see MJ doing any of the above..you discounted the artists i just mentioned, and resorted to name calling..so..you have become the hypocritcal one. you are one of those who accuse positive people on MJ of being fanatical..you really are no better than the media that you praise. you use the media as the source to cast the final judgement? wow..
by the way, you are wrong about BOno..a lot of controversy followed him, and there are people who think that this band has been replaced by coldplay...so...you are just flaming your own opinions, with inflammatory remarks.
those artists you mentioned are regional at best. MJ has broken more barriers with more people of more social backgrounds, religions, and many other factions, than all those stars that you mentioned, combined. and he doesn't offend one political side over another like some of those other artists you mentioned.. so he has more clout in more communities than all of them. that's just a fact.
again, you are lying when you say MJ is not involved in a recording project.
and, if MJ takes a break, that does NOT take from his A list status.
