Advantages: Great Tunes

Disadvantages: One track I am not keen on

Michael Jackson is a world known name and I can quite see why. This CD has been bought out for his 50th Birthday and has 17 of his best songs on.

Michael Jackson.

Is he really the King of Pop as the album has been called. Well he has sold nearly a billion CD and records and has won over 13 Grammy awards and he has even be inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame twice, so yes I would have to say he is verging on the brink of being the King of Pop. He started his Career when he was just 8 years old and he is still going strong today and there is rumours of a tour from him next year.

The Cover of the CD is red and has a picture of Michael striking a pose and the title in white and yellow lettering at the side. The back cover is also red and has the track list.

I must admit that I am not particularly a Jackson fan but when I saw this CD advertised a saw it had all of my favourites songs on so I decided to buy it, much to my hubby's disapproval!

The songs are all varied and show how Michael's music has changed through the years from his early songs which had a good fast beat to his later slower songs like Earth Song which is much slower and edging towards the ballad line. What I like about all of these songs is that I never get bored of hearing them and they always make me want to dance, even if it is in the kitchen!

I do have to recommend this CD to all even if you are not a fan as I am sure you will enjoy more than a few of the songs and they are bound to bring back good memories of perhaps a time you were in a club and one of his songs came on! Personally I feel there is only one weak track on this CD which is Earth Song as every time I her it I am reminded of how he threw himself on the floor in the video and I just feel it was a very over the top video to a half decent song. Also the song does make me chuckle as it also reminds me of the nutter who auditioned for the X Factor and sang, well tried to sing, this song.

We will all have our own personal favourites from this CD so I say get yourself a copy and find yours!

I picked up my copy of this CD for £9.97 in Tesco's which I feel is a good price.

The CD was produced in 2008 by MMJ Productions Inc.
