[edit] Racism allegations

In the article, it claims that "Jackson's allegations were not unfounded since Motolla had referred to Jackson's fellow artist Irv Gotti as "that fat nigger"" Is this actually a confirmed fact, or is it just something Michael has claimed? Any sources to back the statement up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.172.155 (talk • contribs)

Well, now that the wording is changed, I think it's more obvious to think that it's merely a claim. But on the paragraph...isn't Mariah Carey only a quarter Black, not half? Highconclave 13:09, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

They were claims by Michael Jackson. I am not sure why this is not clear to people. I will find references- there are several on the web, including transcripts of what he said at fan meetings and press conferences. Marnifrances 01:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MJ Overestimated Album Sales

Any official record sales sites will state that Invincible has sold 5-6 million. A fansite then estimated it to be 8 million. Somehow through fansite sepculation this has become 12 million, can people please stick to the real figures here rather than the fansite speculations which are prone to massive exagerrations. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Incubotic (talk • contribs)

[edit] Rock Your Body Trivia

Is this piece of trivia false? Justin Timberlake wrote this song with Hugo / Williams. As far as I know, "Rock Your Body" was never intended for "Invincible". Where is the citation on this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Marnifrances (talk • contribs) 07:08, 28 April 2007 (UTC).

The NME said it.--88.105.52.62 15:08, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heaven can wait

Dear lord, it takes over 5 people to write a song these days?--88.105.52.62 15:08, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

lol. Heaps of people write songs together. that's just silly. People often use a team of composers and writers. 4 people wrote "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur%27s_Theme_%28Best_That_You_Can_Do%29

Also check Janet Jackson's compositions and various other artists. lots of people use 4 or more people to write. Marnifrances 08:09, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

But does it really take 7 people to write a good song? Jackson wrote Beat it alone.--148.197.5.20 18:34, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Is that an issue though? 7 people are credited on that song, so what? lol Marnifrances (talk) 20:25, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Overview Section taken out

I took the "overview section" out. Basically it is a direct copy of the Invincible Era- taken from www.allmichaeljackson.com Whoever made this contribution, please do not directly copy and paste massive articles into pages like this. Thanks Marnifrances (talk) 12:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2000 Watts

Can anybody explain why Michael sounds so much different in this song? I had theorized that someone else might be singing this song as many artist have featured a song on one of their albums which they contribute no vocals to like Elton John's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart".

Because hes the king, isnt that obvious? Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 05:31, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
