He said that and he also said it would be his last album."Invincible is my best album" - Michael Jackson
All about the hype baby...He said that and he also said it would be his last album.
At the end of the day, stick it those schmoes. Those record label lackeys didn't care one way or the other; he's dead now so they don't have to worry about how much he ruined everything. As long as they've gotten a piece.Sony acted terribly, no question. But Michael was no saint.
@hope Pretty interesting that it should be Michael's artistry that caused you to get a physical copy of music.I'm not expecting anything special, just curious. This is my first CD of music at all
Let me try to explain. Michael's work makes me listen to a lot more music than before. His songs don't bore me, give me emotions, they are complex, it's interesting to listen to the details. I felt that there are differences in the sound of different digital formats And I was curious how it would be on CD, I really didn't listen to anything on them. First there were cassettes, then radio, then digital.@hope Pretty interesting that it should be Michael's artistry that caused you to get a physical copy of music.
What are your first thoughts about owning a physical item of music ? I am pretty intrigued
Got it. I think that is really cool. The artwork and booklet and i guess reading the credits , must be another bonus too?Let me try to explain.

I decided to start with Invincible because it's a very special album for me.

Michael Jackson never planned to produce the 'Unbreakable' music video with his own money.MJ didn't want to give up, so he was struggling for Unbreakable for TWO YEARS! He even hired a director Brad Ranther. But in the last moment Sony ruined everything. I just can't understand - why? Why this supid company didn't let him to create appropriate video, when he was plannig to do it on his OWN money?
The 'Smile' project (music video, single) was cancelled by the Charlie Chaplin Estate, not by Sony.Then in History era, it was Smile song, that was planned to be a single with videoclip, and was canceled (because of stupid Sony ))) but a few Smile singles were released somehow. And in Invincible case, songs were in such shame treatment, that it eventually led to fatal consequences...
The book "Making Michael: Inside the Career of Michael Jackson" officially confirmed he planned to produce video clip for Unbreakable with his own money:Michael Jackson never planned to produce the 'Unbreakable' music video with his own money.
The singer (during that period) did not even have enough own money to finance the making of his 'Invincible' album, let alone a costly music video.
Despite what Mike Smallcombe claims about that, Michael Jackson was in no financial position to self-finance with millions the production of that music video.The book "Making Michael: Inside the Career of Michael Jackson" officially confirmed he planned to produce video clip for Unbreakable with his own money:
"In March 2002, Michael decided to self-finance the music video for Unbreakable, directed by Brett Ratner, whom he met in January. But Sony said that Michael decided not to bother with the video and canceled all Invincible promotions, including the alleged singles Butterflies (commercial in the United States), Unbreakable, Threatened and the release of the song Heaven Can Wait on the airwaves. An appearance at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards in February 2002 was also cancelled. At the end of March, just five months after the release of Invincible, Sony removed it from its list of "international priority" projects. The album was Michael's first adult album where none of his singles could reach number one in the United States, Europe or the UK."
