Well J5, I'm definitely gonna be excited whenever the new album drops, no doubt.
I'd be lying to you if I said I wouldn't be.
However, Michael's been doing the "suspense" act forever. And it's starting to get a little tired. I know, I know, MJ had a VERY tough stretch in between 2003-05, and we should all be grateful that he's even considering making a comeback with all he's been through, but c'mon.
There's no reason why we shouldn't have a title and release date by now. There's no way MJ's gonna be able to "surprise" us, because we've been anticipating this new album for almost a year. I dunno, everybody's different I guess. If he drops the album in February 2009, some fans are gonna be saying "Wow, didn't see it comin!", while others (like me) will be saying "Thanks Mike....what took you so long?"
Just my opinion.
Hollaback.
Really? Cuz I would've given MJ a year or two or three to disappear off the face of the earth and recuperate. But nope, he's back in the studio. So I gather he should've taken a lot longer than he has. He probaby does have a release date and title...WE just don't know about it. That's the point. As will i am said, we don't know about it cuz Mj doesn't WANT US TO KNOW. He doesn't want us to know because not only does it leave things up for surprise but it limits the 'disappointment' u guys keep talking about, so if something doesn't pan out such as release dates (which happens in life) then there's nothing to be disappointed about cuz we didn't know prematurely.
And not EVERYONE is "anticipating" the album. Everyone besides the fans are WONDERING about MICHAEL JACKSON...because his name is floating around. To non-fans , they aren't sure if MJ is coming back or not, they wonder if a comeback would work for him....THAT'S the people who he's trying to shock.
And if everything about the album is a secret, then it'll be a surprise to us to.
