Invincible
I love you MJ, I hope that you're out of your pain!

I love tracks 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.


The Dangerous formula.
"Invincible" is front-loaded with several fine urban dance songs, complete with cameos by rappers (one deceased) and Michael's ever-more-grating combination of singing and shouting. 10 years after "Dangerous", and the largely ignored "HIStory", Michael Jackson returned to the studio and emerged with a virtual carbon copy of those previous albums. Of course, there are also several ballads about children (a risky topic for the late pop star), one excellent pop dance track (2000 Watts), and a couple truly fine ballads (Butterflies, Speechless). The first single ('You Rock My World') would have been much better without the Chris Tucker intro and Michael's cheesy dialogue (Who's kidding who here?).

The one truly bad moment of the album (and one of the worst in Michael's entire recording career, actually), is a very cynical and tiresome track called "Privacy", where the King rambles on about how he wants to be left alone. It's as if he's yelling directly at his fanbase to ignore him. Considering "Invicible's" pathetic sales figures, Michael got his wish.

Postscript: Since Jackson's untimely death, sales of this (and all) his albums have skyrocketed. No doubt some reappraisal of even this (his least popular disc) will occur, but even in hindsight this album is still a cynical, overproduced mess that only occasionally reveals the massive talent and star power that was Michael Jackson.


Invincible,Fantastic
The lyrics on this CD is not only romantic but very passionate, cheerful, positive and so spectacular! I HIGHLY reccommend EVERYONE to buy this CD and you will love it! Its worth every single penny. I heard the whole CD and it was so BEAUTIFUL! Michael is an true artist whose talent went straight to orbit. That's hpw wonderful this music truly is. Also. Michael has a powerful angelic voice and he is angel himself.


Invincible
I don't know why it is so underrated. This album is absolutely wonderful. There are several songs that are worthy, but "Butterflies" is one of the best songs of all time. I cannot stop listening to it. I have most of Michael's albums, but keep going back to Invincible. "Speechless" is another great song and of course "Break of Dawn, "You Are My Life", "Don't Walk Away", "Heaven Can Wait", "You Rock My World" are among the best love songs ever! Do yourself a big favor and listen to this album. Michael is the best singer, dancer and all around entertainer and there will never be anyone remotely like him. .


Amazingly Good
He still has all his vocal chops here, is in great voice. Too bad I had to wait for Michael Jackson to die to catch up on his later music. There are gorgeous ballads on here. The guest shot by Carlos Santana is great. All this stuff sounds fresh, not dated. Who is going to give us those beats WITH this fantastic voice and gorgeous melodies and lyrics? Answer: no one. I can only be glad his kids see what it was all about.
