I have been a huge MJ fan since I was caught (trying) to do the moonwalk at four years of age. I'm now 21 and have all of his albums, videos, posters and jigsaw puzzle!

Like many other fans I was on the edge of my seat, waiting for this album to be released. It kept being put back so that MJ could 'perfect it' some more. Eventually it had a release date that would co-incide with christmas. So on it went at the top of my list.
Whilst I bit my nails in excitement 'You rock my world' was released in to the charts.
'What on earth is this c***p' I thought as I listened to it. It had nothing of that pizazz you'd expect from a Michael Jackson song, especially the debut of his new album. It didn't put me off though. I thought it was probably a bad choice of debut song.

Christmas eventually came and I put the CD straight into the player. I have to admit that the excitement had shrunk to a small wave of curiosity after such a dizmall first song.
My first reaction: 'Whay is Michael Jackson trying to sound like N'Sync?'. There was no classic Michael sound. It was just everyday pop songs that you'd expect from a typical boy band. But not from a man who brought us Thriller, Smooth Criminal, Bad, Man in the Mirror...I listened to it a second and a third time. Hoping that it would grow on me. By the end of christmas day it had been thrown under a pile of wrapping paper. It now lies in the bottom of my wardrobe collecting dust.

MJ blames Sony for such poor album sales. Even going as far as to say there was a racist vendetta against him by record bosses. Hello! If you were a record boss wouldn't you be rubbing your hands together at the thought of publishing a MJ album. Especailly after the huge success of History and Black or White. You wouldn't spend 75 million dollars promoting the album if you wanted it to fail.
The truth is that this album has none of the spark that made MJ wh
at he is today. Every song sounds the same. Every song sounds like he's trying to copy the 'in-styles' of N'Sync, Brittney and all those other teeny bopper bands.
I think he's tried to aim to that young teen audience. Only they dont want him when they've got Justin out of N'Sync. Whilst his older adoring fans have been left with an insignificant album. Well...maybe we can use it as a coffee mat.
