Are you legitimately implying that sales numbers are more important than public opinion?
Hahaha? Where did I said that or anything remotely close to that? I said completely opposite of that. I said that "music" critics ("" are because they are not that, they are lifestyle critics) are completely irrelevant and they do not represent public opinion. What I said is that the sales numbers ARE public opinion. That is a fact. And if the record is hot (and it would be) the public would buy it. So the critics criticizing the title of the song and Michael's lifestyle would become irrelevant almost immediately after the song hits the airwaves.
I can't be bothered to even discuss this post because it hurts my head to think that someone with such a closed-minded view of artistic sensibility actually exists.
I'm not even going to comment that as it comes from someone like you. A hater of parts of that same artist career.
*applauds* Oh, Onir, I can always count on you to twist my words.
Same goes for you and for the first part of your post.
Nowhere did I say the record-buying public hated Michael. But given that this was 2006, the year after Michael was acquitted for child molestation, and a GOOD PORTION of the general public was convinced that he was guilty, he should have gone the safe route and just released a normal album. No more media pandering, no more complaining. Do what he did BEST.

People wanted to hear new MJ music in 2006. Fact. If the music was good, all the "bad things" would be forgotten overnight. Including the title of the song which is completely irrelevant. Especially if the song is a hit and the context of the song is right (re-read my post about the context of the song - "No media pandering, no complaining"). I agree that people wanted to hear MJ doing what he did best and will.i.am and other hot acts from that time would definitely help him to achieve that goal.
That is simply my opinion, which I explicitly highlighted in my post. And before you go on a tangent about how I shouldn't express my opinion if you disagree with it, allow me to point out a recent post that you made in another thread about MJ *****:
Everyone on this board is allowed to complain about things we don't personally care for.
Absolutely. I respect your opinions as anyone elses here. What I don't like are the words you are using to express those opinions. Too much hateful words, always trying to diminish or bash something or someone just because you don't like that people or concert or stuff.
But of course we should hold back our criticisms, because we don't want to offend you!
I love your attempts to be sarcastic.
