Is anybody really surprise by this?

This article is from 2005...but, no matter, I seriously think Wakko has NO chance of a comeback in North America, as they say, a reputation is easy to build but, it's the hardest thing to REbuild...The only places MJ might be able to have a career are Europe and Japan.

Sorry, MJ. Maybe you and Diana should hook up....you are both crazy! A perfect weird couple. The diva who demands too much and the bitch with a booze problem!

that's funny but true

The only way Mike can have something resmbling a comeback is if he does a new album with new material that gets good reviews.

It should be something that appeals to the fans who enjoyed his music back during his heyday - not like his sister Janet who is still trying to appeal to the youth market.

you really need to check Janet's new album out before jumping to that assumption. Yes, she TRIED with Damita Jo and 20 Y.O. to appeal to the youth market, but Discipline is strictly for those of us who grew up with Control, Rhythm Nation and janet., her predominantly 20/30-something fanbase who grew up and remember her prime in the 80's and 90's loves this album for the most part it seems.

TJL · 03-08-2008, 04:35 PM

^ you know what, you're probably right, i haven't listened to her new stuff, so i can't judge.

The point I'm trying to make is that Michael still lives in this bubble where he's the undisputed savior of music, and everything he does should be treated like the second coming of Christ.

That may have been what happened in the 80's, but things have changed.

Re-releasing Thriller with a few cover versions of the songs isn't going to make you the King Of Pop again.

TripperFan · 03-08-2008, 08:30 PM

Exactly. His career is now dead basically just like Neverland.

He's not only living that Peter Pan thing still, but living 25 years in the past.

88survivor · 03-09-2008, 04:54 PM

Even though Scott Baio might be a has-been now, you don't see Baio living in the past like MJ is. MJ, unfortunately, still thinks it 1982-1984 all over again. The dude has no sense of reality. That's what killed MJ's career....he had no concept of reality.

Dean Winchester · 03-09-2008, 06:44 PM

rofl, do you still have a crush on Baio? this is about the third time you worked him into an unrelated thread

88survivor · 03-09-2008, 07:21 PM

Just a fan of his acting, not his personality. I just grew up with Happy Days and Charles In Charge. I am a Virgo like him. So they you go and I have the same color eyes as him. Hazel brown color. The ironic thing is that they were about to name Chachi Lynch. I thought my parents were weird. Thank God they stuck with Robert. Forget Bailey Baio. That name they thought was a catchy Italian name. Silly parents. Thank God I stuck with my name. I just like the old made for T.V movies he appeared......The Boy Who Drank Too Much, Stoned, rare teen sexuality program he hosted back in 1987(you would not find that on the Internet), Kids In Motion(I was seven when that appeared on VHS rental and to this day, I still don't know what the hell it was about, but it was fun!)...But when I was a kid six or seven in the early 90s, I did immitate his accent quite a bit. The only time my hair grew to be almost Chachi-like(not quite, it was John Travolta's Welcome Back, Kotter hairstyle) was around 1991. You know, if there is a person you need to sue it is Dustin Diamond. That creep stoled my curly hair fro when I started the whole style first in 1987. I was four and my hair was like the original Screech do! Faker...

Well, that's all.

You know, I was not liking the idea of Janet still doing her thing as if she were still 20 years old, gyrating on stage, sex appeal, the whole sexy image thing, but after looking at her lately on television, she looks great. She doesn't look her age. Now, if she looked 42 and was trying to behave like a 25 year old, that would be different, but Janet still radiates this young and youthful thing abt her, so maybe she can still strut around in that sexy way and make it work at her age. It's not like Etta James who is 60+ something in age and is just now starting to do this sexy bit on stage looking ridiculous.

Mikado · 03-09-2008, 08:08 PM

Janet looks like her nutball brother, in drag, to me

88survivor · 03-09-2008, 08:43 PM

Dean? Gee, I hope I didn't scare you. I just told you what I thought.

isiahthomas · 03-13-2008, 05:33 PM

I believe Michael can do a good new album if he did some new songs. I haven't heard his Invincible album but i'm betting it's probably not that bad. Bad and Dangerous albums he did are very good and i bet people probably thought he wasn't gonna make any good albums after Thriller. I just wish he wasn't so strange and he should've left his damn face the way it was when he was a kid and a teenager.
