I'm not this type of person but I get defensive for Michael.
I feel the same way. Whenever people criticize Invincible's sales numbers, I always get angry, because Invincible was a good album (but, in my opinion, not as good as it could have been). I get especially angry when people criticize everything after 1995.
I guess it's good I never met Michael, because if I had been his producer, Invincible would have never gone out of the door. The only songs I would release would be The Lost Children and You Rock My World.
But I shouldn't be selfish with his music; others feel differently about Michael's experimentation. My criticism of his music has no bearing on my being a fan. I always, always criticize Thriller 25 (because of the remixes), Blood On the Dance Floor (mainly because of how little new material there is on it), and Invincible (mainly because of the R&B sound).
Palmyra, I'm not trying to eat you out or anything like that.
It's totally cool. I don't mind disagreements! I am a fan as well, and I can see where you're coming from.
