My local Wal-Mart had that demo display some weeks back, giving people the chance to "dance" and also look like they were having a seizure or something. Anyway from what wikipedia says its got a good setlist. All or at least most of the hits. Plus they threw in some lesser-known tunes like the (awesome) outtake "Sunset Driver"* and "Money." That was nice. Also I'm sure you would be amused to know that for "Speed Demon," they used that anthropomorphic rabbit from MOONWALKER. Now that's MJ nerdery on your level, Vern. *=Still evermore baffled why MJ cut that from OFF THE WALL.

Both MICHAEL and THIS IT IS (which actually sold more than MICHAEL) each did platinum numbers. #1 btw was THE FAME (MONSTER) by Lady Gaga (meh) and closely followed by Eminem's RECOVERY (pretty good/decent) http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-2010.htm Vern – Not that it matters, but Here is the Top 40 selling records of 2010.

Best bit is when he calls it bullshit, bleeped of course. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKE1Sc0wPLE&feature=related Just random, but I found this old clip where MJ in the mid-2000s briefly responds to getting dissed on Eminem’s “Just Lose It.” Best bit is when he calls it bullshit, bleeped of course.

My bad. I sure hope the guy is wrong in what he said in the last paragraph: "if this decent-enough album is the best of the bunch, things are going to get ugly from here on in. Michael has his epitaph now. Tear up that contract, The Jackson Estate. Tear it up now." Ouch. I wonder when we finally get "Got the Hots," which unless I'm mistaken, hasn't been officially released except in Japan on their version of the Thriller 25 CD. Or for that matter, other demos like those he did with Freddie Mercury.* Maybe the next CD next year. *=Which I bring up because incidentally MJ claimed Queen's HOT SPACE was a considerable influence on THRILLER.

And I feel like I can trust the guy because he's correct about "Invincible." Mentioning "Butterflies" gets him the seal of approval.
