Michael's the King of Pop because he's sold more records and broken more records and holds more records then any other recording artist in history. It's got jack all to do with "what he's done lately". It's called "pop" and it's an abbriviation for the world "popular", meaning how much commercial success have you achieved.
Did you all convienently forget that Michael's entire life was put on hold, was actually haulted to a dead stop, for over two years because his life was hanging in the balance? And are you all really suggesting that Michael so easily forget about that and recover right away, just bounce back and do something on the world stage, while everyone, EVERYONE is watching, immeadietely following? And did you all really expect Michael to just turn around and act like nothing had happened when he was being attacked maliciously for the two years leading up to that trial, over that documentary, over him holding Blanket over a balcony for 2 seconds, for this, that and nine million other things? Some fans really are too much sometimes. Michael couldn't do anything for damn near 5 years, from 2001, in which he released an entirely new album which his record lable decided to kill, all the way through 2005. That's not even including recovery time from what happened to him. Do you realize that Michael lost 20lb. during the trial? 20lb., to someone like him, is a massive amount of weight. He was really sick, really sick, and he needed to recover. That's just physically. Emotionally, it will probably never fully go away. But look, less then a year after what happened to him, he was back in the studio and is, as of this very moment, working his ass off to put out a good album for all of us. So don't come in here talking some smack about how he hasn't done anything since 2002. PLEASE!
