I think he should have said "**** it" at some point, for example after the 2005 trial where it was proven he was not a monster after all and that the media was wrong. But he was not me so he took another decision and he kept focussing on them while he had already beaten them.
I'm not entirely sure what you talk about here, as, sadly, MJ didn't release anything after the trial in his short remaining lifetime, and the songs we know about he did in this period were all more laid back type and/or love songs.
I accept your opinion and I don't want to make you like
Threatened at all
, sorry if it sounded like this. Opinions are subjective and often there's no rationale behind them (e.g. I just like
Cry despite not being a great song, but I can't really get into
Butterflies for some reason, even though I recognise its genius), so it's of course useless to argue about tastes.
What made me respond was that you presented yours as some kind of universal claim (to be applied only when you feel like it though), instead of an opinion. E.g.
"when you have done the same type of songs 3 or 4 times it gets repetitive" isn't an opinion, more like declaring a rule, which isn't even consistent as it's up to you to cherry-pick when to apply it. This is what I didn't understand and asked for elaboration, but instead of explaining you just repeated the same claims again.
Would I have liked MJ to continue his dance songs? Probably yes, guilty as charged.
That's perfectly fine, but you must admit there's some irony here: you complain about MJ dealing more than once with topics that were important to him and/or radically influenced his life, but find nothing wrong with dance songs done for the hundredth time.
I have nothing against love/dance songs, but personally I find it refreshing if the songs aren't just about love. But that's just my subjective taste/interest too.
That's all I have to say about it. I can sense I'm becoming distrusted yet again. That also gets tiring.
I'm sorry if you feel like this, but you shouldn't. :flowers: Accepting opinions goes both ways, and if someone asks you to elaborate something isn't an attack at all, just trying to engage in a conversation.
unlike love songs or dance songs which instantly make people happy.
I
strongly disagree with the bolded part, as it can have the totally opposite effect on me. If I feel the "cheerfulness" of the song is forced and bland, or if I'm not in the mood it makes me completely edgy instead of happy.
So it's okay to do endless love songs, but you can't do more than one song about the media?
That's a mystery for me too. If I ever become a pop star, I'll release only love songs and enjoy the luxury of constantly getting away with it.
