Michael Jackson’s “You Rock My World” Short Film Starts Production on This Date in 2001

On this date in 2001, filming began for “You Rock My World” in Los Angeles and lasted for about 2 weeks. This still photo from the movie set captures one of the opening scenes from the short film and if you look closely, you can see Michael and Chris Tucker sitting in the window of a Chinese...

One of the most controversial videos. I like his new dance move - Bones Walk and outfit, but choreography... not his best. And the setting of this music video - he basically just used unused ideas for Dangerous video... But I don't think it fitted well with THIS song. It would fitted perfectly with Blue Gangsta (and this song is much better than YRMW, to tell the truth)...

MJ about the performance of YRMW in 2001.
I'm just wondering why I've never seen this before...

In this video he is on the drugs again... So I'm sure he is lying again. You can see apathy on his face. He was just too polite to tell the truth...

He seems not, or barely, on drugs here compared to the shows.. And what truth should he have told exactly..?

I mean he obviously was exhausted during MGS. He wasn't happy... When I look at Michael at these pics, I want to cry... He didn't deserve all that pain he suffered. Still he acted like everything is okay, but you can see that he wasn't okay. So telling that it was fun wasn't truth

Michael was locked into complicated family politics and record label politics at this time. The album and era didn‘t pan out the way he had hoped. He was treated horribly during the making of Rock My World as well. Perhaps he was simply doing the best he could to get through things. He was definitely despondent around this time and in low spirits compared to other eras.

There is a section in The Michael Jackson Tapes (conversations between August 2000 and April 2001) that might explain Michael's affinity for songs about devious women like Heartbreaker:
MJ: It is hard because the women today can do a good job of faking it. I mean a real good job. They are smooth. Look in the Bible. Women have taken the most powerful men down to nothing because of what is between their legs. Samson, nobody could cut his hair, and he had sex with Delilah.

Note that 6 guys (in total) contributed to the lyrics of the 'Heartbreaker' song.

One of them was none other than Michael Jackson.

But in terms of lyrics, Michael Jackson demanded and took many undue credits on the 'Invincible' album (with the exception of 'The Lost Children' and 'Speechless').
 
What might have inspired Michael to create Unbreakable:
No force of nature can break
Your will to self motivate
HIStory

He really thought (They thought they really had control of me) he really had control of me (Take me, shake me, nobody's gonna break me)

it seems even Snoop Dogg was a big fan of Invincible and the song 2000 Watts.
Intro inspired by 2000 Watts (even the same sound at 0:08-0:09):
produced by Teddy Riley (there are 4-5 more on the 2008 album with Teddy)

Not just lyrics. He has a credit for Whatever Happens and the leaked demo for that shows that MJ had nothing to do with that as a writer. Quite shameful, really.

It leaves you wondering if he really wrote much for Invincible at all - apart from Speechless and Lost Children.
