Maybe Michael Jackson needs a rest at UCLA Medical Center, where Mariah Carey recently spent some time recuperating after a set-back while recovering from her "emotional break-down" this summer.
The eccentric pop star had an online chat with his fans last week. The self-proclaimed King of Pop had some interesting answers to questions posed by his fans. For example, in discussing the name of his new CD "Invincible", Jackson said, "Incvincible is the proper name. I have been the artist with the longest career and I am so proud and honoured to be chosen from heaven to be invincible."
In response to a question about changing in the music industry, Jackson replied, "How does a one-year-old know how to dance? It's biological. The grass, the trees, the flowers - they are all influenced by music. All the planets of the universe make music - it's called 'Music of the Spheres' and all the planets make a different note, and are making harmony as we speak." Um, Mike? You sound like you could really use a break.
"Mentally, I'm always in Never-Neverland - hee hee!" Okay Michael, how about a blankie and a nice cup of tea?
Jackson also revealed that he'll be doing some trick-or-treating this Halloween saying he will "knock on some doors and get some candy. I like dressing up like a monster and getting candy!"
Other comments made by Jackson include his thoughts
on the process of song-writing, which he says
is "difficult to explain because it's very spiritual.
You're in the hands of God," he explained. "I
feel guilty having to put my name on the songs
sometimes because I write them, compose them,
score them and it's all really the work of God."
According the music industry insiders, Sony Records, the label behind "Invincible", is already worried about the financial success of Jackson's latest release, which has been met with relatively poor reviews. Sony reportedly spent an estimated $20 million on the new album.
