1. The decade? It was MJ's best IMHO. That was some serious s**t

in that cd. And Mike's voice was never better.

[Hissyspit]

2. Really?

I only remember one song off of that.

It didn't do all that well, did it?

[cliffordu]

3. We'll see what kanyae West says about that....

[parasim]

4. Yo, Triana, I'm happy for you and Imma let you finish...

but Taylor Swift won TWO spots on that reader's poll.

:evilgrin:



on edit: I'm just kidding with you, Triana. I've been a huge MJ fan since I first saw the Jackson 5 live on the Ed Sullivan Show (MJ and I were born about a year apart). I always enjoy your posts.

[Triana]

15. LOL parism!

MJ and I were born about a year apart too. And thanks for the support! :loveya:

5. I'm jamming to it right now!

7. I LOVE "Unbreakable," "Whatever Happens," "2000 Watts," and "Invincible."

"Unbreakable" is my own personal little anthem. :)

Actually, I really like the whole album. "Butterflies" is just beautiful,and so is "Break of Dawn." "You Rock My World" is fun. I think "2000 Watts" would have been great on the Blood on the Dance Floor CD, don't you? I love Michael's harder-edged stuff the most.

I was surprised that I liked Invincible as much as I do. I didn't think I would be that crazy about the album because I'd heard some people talk shit about it, but it's one of those you really can listen to from beginning to end. WAY better than I expected. It's too bad Xscape didn't make it onto the album. Michael nixed it when it got leaked early. :( A shame. I think that would have been my absolute favorite song among the bunch.

9. Unbreakable is one of my favs too

And 2000 Watts kick butt! That whole album is awesome. :)

[Kahuna]

11. The whole album is da bomb. Almost every song on it touches some

part of me. Thriller never did that.

[Triana]

17. People still talk shit about it...

..but they're wrong. I've heard it defined as a "failure" (?!)

Since when is a PLATINUM album (in spite of Sony's and the industry's machinations to NOT promote the album) a "failure"?

Pfft.

[msongs]

6. nothing like dying to ressurect a fading career nt

[Catherine Vincent]

10. Fading career?

That's ignorant!

[Triana]

19. VERY ignorant....and Invincible is Billboard's Best Album of the Decade

I'd hardly call ANY of this "fading" . . .

Congratulations Michael for ruling the 70's, 80's 90's and 2000s POP/ROCK CHARTS! Genuine talent is TRULY EPIC and TIMELESS!

Due to Michael's phenomenal 2009 sales, Billboard was FORCED to change its hard-pressed rules not to include albums more than 5 years old to their chart rankings. Michael's sales made Billboard lose its credibility over other charts where Michael is topping since June 2009. Michael's NUMBER ONES ALBUM was released in 2005 and his other albums were released far earlier so they were not included in the Billboard charts until November 2009 when BB implemented their policy change which they refused to do since forever.

8. my favorite

I love the song Butterflies as does my cat. Some of the best MJ singing to ever be found on "Invincible".

Enjoy! :D

Long live Michael Jackson! :loveya:

[Kahuna]

12. Amen. His singing was at its very best. This cd is an unknown masterpiece..

Hence MJ's anger at the way it was shunned by the critics when it was released. They just flat out lied.

[shadowknows69]

14. Long live Michael Jackson!

Still dead.

[Triana]

16. I LOVE Butterflies.....

Hooyea. I love that whole album! It RAWGS my world.

[shadowknows69]

13. A reader's poll. Yippee. You really need help.

[Kahuna]

18. I trust the readers more than the critics on this one. The critics had

an anti-MJ agenda, and shot it down on that alone. If you haven't listened to the cd, what dog do you have in this fight? Want to know what readers who actually listened to the cd think, go to the 900 Amazon reviews from people who actually bought and listened to the CD. The concensus is that the CD is great and that the critics flat out lied about it.

20. That's the one they used to call a "failure", right?

Yeah. I'd like to "fail" like that.

MJ. STILL breaking records! Wow.
