Kinda sad what happened to his career.
I mean, he's Michael Jackson. Face transformations aside, he's had a huge impact in music... but like with anyone else, got older and had to face changing times.
It's like anything he released after Thriller was just a joke.
Now what was once a brilliant performer is just someone who's struggling to keep his "King of Pop" title. In his mind, he so desperately wants to keep his fame alive, but it's been so utterly destroyed in the past few years.
I'm sure he could just go on a few world tours to make his $$ back, but... yeah, kinda sad.
You'd figure his Greatest Hits would sell more than fuckin 8k copies, hah.
I don't exactly picture MJ as someone who's very mentally stable, and (I don't mean to sound incredibly rude or morbid w/ this) I'm surprised he hasn't made attempts to off himself.. I just don't picture someone like him facing reality in knowing when it's really over.
But I guess that's just the thing every musician has to face - some have made wonderful marks in history (Metallica, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, to name a few), but REALLY don't know when to stop. Eventually they just run out of ideas and keep releasing stuff just to release it, and in the process, make a mockery of their past.
