  • I wish he would come out with some new songs. I love Michael but I have been spending money on the same songs for years. He should get a new album out there and start performing again if he has anything left in the tank.

  • How many more of these is he going to put out? How many Billie Jeans do we all need. This guy will NEVER release another new album, The last one basically bombed - when you need $65 Million to make and promote an album and it only sells about 5 million copies. That is why we will never see him put something new out - because he knows he wont have $30 million to promote it and it will BOMB. Plus he is Lazy. Plus watching a guy Lip Sync to promote it is pretty boring as well.

  • As a true MJ fan, he should stop selling us songs we have already bought time and time again and instead offerus something new. This is really becoming more of a joke than a comeback or a real rip off. His new song with Akon Hold My Hand is great and thats what we need more of ... Mj of the future not the past!

  • I like this compilation. Would love to have seen ’Will you be there’’ and/or ’’Human Nature’’ and/or ’’Stranger in Moscow’’. It’’s hard to squash all your Michael favourites into album. Just too many. But i would say that this track-listing is on point as to the songs most loved by fans, for the most part. Can’’t wait for his new album though.

  • I love all the music. I think he should include HEAL THE WORLD as his performance with singing the song really touches the SOUL. Love to Michael on his 50th BIRTHDAY!

  • Michael is awesome and always will be! The man has been through a lot in the past 7 years; if it were me I would never have the strength or the will to get back to normal life, music, and back to the public who doubted me. I love you Michael and as a TRUE fan, I’m looking forward to you living your life the way you want to live it. Take care and GOD bless.

  • Mike... Get your new album out! A N O T H E R greatest hits compilation, does not whet the appetite any more... With the influx of MP3, pretty much everyone has these songs lurking about somewhere on their hardrives, phones and iPods, with the ability to shuffle their own tracks. People just aren’t going to pay again for you to shuffle for us. Stupid, we.. are... not. Make yourself relevent again. It can be done, and the public will welcome you with open ears....
