Invincible is an AMAZING , AMAZING album.
I agree. The worst would have to be History, but it is still 5000 times better than any other album.

we, the fans, we were satisfied from one point, only by knowing he is happy and healthy, and we didn't ask for more music and concerts.
I wouldn't go that far. It's definately a step down in quality compared to his 79-95 output.
Yes, he did.
What's your argumentation for this answer?
This is a thread were you share your opinion. I shared my opinion so there is no reason for you to care. You have your opinion and I have mine - end of.No, he didn't.
I shouldn't need to support my opinion, I can think whatever I want without having to explain myself to anyone on here.
Fine, whatevs. Good thing that you've reviewed the thread's title, though.

^Totally. I haven't read the whole thread yet, but I want to say that we have to remember that his "latter years" were not exactly free and easy to just do with as he pleased. Not only was there the trial, but the time leading up to it. Imagine the mental and emotional anguish of knowing this was looming in your immediate future and living with that for well over a year beforehand, not to mention all the meetings with legal teams and so forth. And prior to November 2003 there had been LWMJ and the ensuing media frenzy afterwards with the allegations, not knowing if he'd be charged or what would happen. And then after the trial... my God, how does one recover from something like that and just LIVE again? I remember thinking as he left for Bahrain that I wouldn't blame him one bit if he just found a quiet place to raise his children and retired for good. And yet, through all those years, somehow Michael kept working. Who knows what all he would have gifted the world with between Invincible & 2009 if things had been different. Something(s) amazing, you can bet.Michael went through an awful lot in the last decade of his life, things that would have tipped a lot of people over the edge but he still kept going. He had three children to raise and with Michael it was always quality over quantity. Michael owed us nothing at the end of the day.
Brilliant post...:clapping::clapping::clapping:..thank you.Sometimes I wonder if people expected him to be standing on stage at the age of 80, grabbing his crotch?
I know that Michael Jackson would have been the last person on the planet to be sitting on a bar stool, accompanied of pictures of the Dangerous and HIStory tour.
I've heard a lot of commentators assume and project a 'fear of age' on him- but a lot of people didn't exactly help that, did they? Always digging up pictures of Thriller times. Always bemoaning 'how much' he changed- yet when he did change, a lot of people seemed to have issues with it. How often did he have to say that he wanted to move into movies? How many people are mentally stuck on "Thriller" and "sold copies", as if this number of sales (that of course is phenomenal) was the only measurement of creativity and talent.
Seems to me like certain people have more issues with their own expectations, than with him actually. He wanted ballet lessons with his daughter, signed up for art history courses, wanted to do movies. His creativity always found outlets. An artist doesn't have an 'obligation to the world', only an obligation to himself/herself to be who they truly are. And if anyone dared to be himself, it's Michael Jackson. His 50% are other people's 200%.
I find it rather patronizing to speak about Michael squandering his talent- the guy accomplished so much in 50 years, that other people don't accomplish in 3 lives. I would like to ask anyone who thinks he 'squandered' his talent to please write just a few melodies that are not only recognized all over this planet, but that are also much beloved.
Then please overcome a few physical ailments and all the adversity he faced.
I'll stop because I get rather upset how somebody would accuse Michael (of all people!!) to have wasted his talent.
