I am a fan yes. I loved most of his stuff right up until 2001 with Invincible. Now everyone and their mother in the west sounds like that, and it bores me to tears. The last new track we got, One More Chance, was a weak R.Kelly affair that was incomplete and sounded more like the crap companies churn out in bulk for teen acts. Michael's vocal in it was amazing, full of emotion, but the backing track was just meh. It was released before it was completed to his standards, so I think he was just as disappointed with it. If he would just stop messing about with collaborators and use tracks he writes on his own he'd have an amazing album on his hands. A couple of tracks he wrote on his own on Invincible really stood out, as they were wonderful tracks. He started something incredible with Bad, and it's just a pity he didn't continue using his own pieces in albums, because I know he'd have well surpassed that by now. HIStory was a really personal album, and was some of his best work to date, I want to see more of that rather than something to just sell.
