Loved everything he did. He was an amazing artist. The smooth sounds of his voice and the falsetto he could produce were awesome.
When will amazon.com take off their offensive review of the 'Invincible' cd.If we just consider how much the tabloid media, along with media in general, tried to drive MJ insane during his entire adulthood until his death, it would be fair if amazon's review was replaced by a more decent one.Please.
I think it is one of the best MJ's albums. He has elaborated his music a lot, has taken elements of the new electro era, adapted them to this style and his voice. Great ballads, a high range of vocals, quality of music, something new/ different comparing to his previous albums. Heartbreaker, Speechless, You are my life, Invicible, Cry, Butterflies.
A CD holds 80 minutes of music, and Michael was generous and mindful enough of his fans as consumers to give people their money's worth unlike the vast majority of artists of his time and even today. Worldwide, Invincible sold 9 million copies before Michael Jackson's death in summer of 2009. EVERY artist should be putting 70 minutes of GOOD material on their albums. That's respectable. Invincible doesn't have the anger of the HIStory recording, but I was amazed to see one reviewer state that Invincible was too long. Of course, now that Michael is gone, people are suddenly taking interest in this, the last Michael Jackson album. A couple, like You Rock My World, did well in spite of everything, but in the end it's not a wonder Michael embraced Europe as they embraced him, and chose London as the location for his final concerts.
That's too bad. No album will ever make Thriller's numbers of 125 million sold before Michael's death. There's no reason why anyone over the age of 18 who enjoyed Michael's music back in 2001 and 2002 shouldn't have made this album an instant classic. Michael was only half done when he was taken to Glory, it's an honor to possess in my CD and download collection one of his best as a mature recording artist.
Michael had a lot to beef about when it came to the promotion of this album in America when it was released. It really is America's loss. Those who have discovered Michael's work after his death are treated with, well, genius. Too long for what. (I have silver). 2000 Watts would be worth the original purchase price alone (rest assured it did not sell for the current price back in the day). To call this album a failure by those standards is being a bit shallow. Michael threw away at least 50 songs before putting the 15 songs he thought were the best on here.
The CD even came in four different colors. The internet was indeed around in 2001, as was the iPod, so I believe that there was so much "baggage" associated with Michael Jackson in this country that radio stations - which were still important back then - were reticent about playing songs from Invincible. Who else does that. What a loss.
i like the album it is great the best he made almost all of them i love
