Why MJ Will Never Again Be Startin’ Somethin’

Dead Man Moonwalking

Michael Jackson, 49, … is working on a new clothing line with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier. ‘It’s still in the developing stages, but it’s going to be big,’ an insider tells Life & Style. ‘This will be a major comeback for Michael.’”

The above is a lie, and it’s one we’ve heard before. By our calculations, ever since the release of his last reasonably solid record, 1991’s Dangerous, which moved over 14 million copies, Michael Jackson has been on the verge of a comeback 237,000 times; each one ushered in with all the theatrics of “Thriller” before sputtering out as quietly and wimpily as “The Girl Is Mine.”

It’s about time everyone quit kidding themselves. As lifelong MJ fans, it pains us to say it, but his chances of staging an authentic comeback are as good as his chances of beating Michael Jordan in that one-on-one game. “Why?” you ask. Let us count the ways…

He's definitely way far, far out there. It's kind of sad.

*From the number one MJ fan*—I KNOW he still has a comeback left in him. Mark my words. I will be sitting front and center (probably with no house to go to because I sold it to buy a ticket)…and I'll be the one ripping an old lady's arm out of the socket to catch the greatest entertainer's hat…he's sure to throw it!

*faints at the thought of it all*

He's been done for a long time. Stick a fork in it, and move on.

This is very unfortunate. Even when considering Diana Ross. They are just living legends that are just the people we imagine who they once used to be. Diana is still performing but its hard to look at her and see that she used to be EVERYTHING. You can consider it but it's not the first thing that comes to mind. I love Michael Jackson, but he's scary to look at. I just want to wish him the best. The madness has kinda died down and I think it was much needed. I would love to hear more singles but not at the cost of being disappointed and regretting what I wished for.
