Is Michael Jackson Finished?

[blangerang]

Has all the recent court cases and bad acts ended his career or is there still a chance of a comeback for MJ?

 

[moistie]

He could release an album of him moving his bowels and some people would still buy it, but his mass appeal would be extremely tarnished.

Besides, I don't think he has the ability to write anything as good as his early work anymore anyway. If he did then you could say he would be an outside chance, with the right PR and spin.

Only rick rubin could save his career, tbh.

Rick Rubin, a talented man, has produced a very diverse range of artists. Anything Jacko releases will go to #1 his fanbase is massive and loyal although I cannot see him ever capturing what he once had, I am not a fan of his music

 

[lenny&carl]

It's over 20 years since he put out a good song. 'course he's freakin finished.

I know that he will probably never make great music again, but a world tour or something like that? Any chances?

Lock up your daughters!

I thought he was more partial to little bo... er.. nevermind.

The only way i could ever see Wacko selling records again would be if he did what every second other R&B artist seems to be doing these days and teams up with either Pharrel Williams/Neptunes or the Timberland production team and gets a hit written for him.

Personally i couldnt give a rats toss bag though.

No way unless he started using crack, shagging hos and hanging out with James Brown and George Clinton - has not released a song since "Beat it" - [I did quite like "Scream" though]

Im definately sure he has released songs since Beat It, unless you mean succesful songs then okay but he definately has released songs since that one

I think he meant "relevant" songs

To quote Prince :"that album should not be called "Bad" it should be shockingly awful"

Obviously I meant he has released nothing that deserves to be in a parthenon of Pop

 

[Portmanteau]

I believe Kanye is possibly producing his comeback album... or maybe that was purely hypotheticals in an interview.

I think the exact word was "pathetic".

What about "Blood on the Dancefloor" - wasn't that a shocker

 

[Milkman]

Apparently his career is all but over in the US, but he's still pretty big around Europe.

 

[Groove]

The thing is, if he wanted to do a tour, he would sell out every show, he still has a huge fan base.

Yep and if he put out an album it would sell as well. Has nothing to do with the music when it comes to Michael Jackson. Imagine the huge publicity any album he put out would get. It wouldn't matter what it was it would be still a hit.

 

[F/D]

Turning himself white was a stupid move.

His music career went with it too.

Stay black, be slack.

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Well its a strange world. Jackson is in bed with kids and that ok .. is it ? .. Pete Townsend is caught with a stack of dubious pr0n .. and that ok ... R Kelly - what the hell was he doing with his knob?

bah

Not ok at all. Jackson should be behind bars but somehow the rich and famous can get away with these things. That's a fault in the legal system but has nothing to do with this thread.
Jackson gets publicity and that is all you need to sell an album.

But if he did that, what would Justin Timberlake sing?

 

[oxx]

Two words that can save his career,
Quincy Jones.
but he DGAF no more.

Even the Hoff is big in Europe.

when was the last time he actually looked happy or sane?
