    Can you take $400 million in debt away? How about the Neverland Ranch employees who had to file a complaint with the State of California to get the four months wages they legally earned that Jackson didn't pay? The court ordered Jackson to pay and he did a week later but waiting 17 weeks for your check and people have families to feed, rent to pay, bills to pay, car notes to pay and this Wacko Jacko takes his kids to Bahrain. That's not a man, that's a bitch.

    Sony wanted to buy MJ out of his 50% ownership of Sony music / ATV publishing. But Michael did not want to sell. So Sony made sure that the price tag on recording the Invincible album would be substantially high to put Michael in debt. The bill to record the Invincible album was close to 30 million dollars. By not promoting the album Michael would have had to pay all that money back out of his own pockets. That's why Mj started to rebel against Sony calling Tommy Motola the devil etc. Michael did not sell to Sony to compensate the debt but instead he took a loan on the catalogue using it as an asset. That's why in some speeches you'll hear Michael say he is a free agent. Basically meaning his contract with Sony finally ended owning half of Sony. That's where the jealousy and friction started.

    There is DEFINITELY something to what he is saying. When You Rock My World came out I was working a job that played our main Top 40 pop Station all day. The week the song dropped, they played it occasionally. By week 2 they almost completely stopped playing it. They literally never put it on "by request" and it never hit their top 10 requested list. That song was jamming! I never believed that it literally had zero requests in the 17th largest city in the US. That station was definitely playing a game with it for some reason. After the 3rd week it completely dropped off that station. I remember it vividly because I loved the song and what happened seemed so odd, literally every Top 40 pop song was getting more spins than MJ on that station.

    He was apart of the Jacksons at that time during Off The Wall and Thriller. He was already touring on the Jacksons Destiny tour, so when OTW came out they added the singles to it. Also instead of a Thriller tour he did Victory. So it will be great if the Jackson's estate release the Destiny and Victory tours, but I don't believe that will happen because the estate will have to negotiate with the brothers. The possibility of an Invincible tour was slim because of the Sony's feud, 9/11 and Mike not wanting to tour as extensively as before.

    I can believe that Michael Jackson would sweat so much in the recording booth, that he would need three pairs of shirts. Michael Jackson was one of those performers, who practically gave 160 percent. I mean his entire mind, body, and soul on stage. I mean, there's the time that he performed "Man at the Mirror" at the 1988 Grammys. And Michael is throwing just about everything but the kitchen sink. He does multiple tornado spins, he collapses to his knees, he's leaping high in the air, and doing vocal gymnastics in front of his choir. It was like the Holy Ghost possessed him that night. And this is "Man in the Mirror", we're talking about, not an up-tempo song that would require you to put all of your energy and passion in it.
