What do you think about his return to music? Did you see the video. It was like a video collage of all his old ones, except i didnt see any Thriller references. What do you think?
He’s a great dancer, but I cannot look at his face. It is hideous, IMHO.
The mod thing…
It’s music. It’s…well, Cafe Society stuff.
Movin’ it on over.

The “Thriller” reference is in the very length of it.
It’s so hard for me to be objective. There is so much baggage attached to him that it’s pretty much impossible to step back and evaluate it fairly.
He’s a great dancer, but most of the moves are old. There was some fresh stuff during the group work. When he grabs his crotch, it makes me squirm. I also find his face thoroughly disturbing to look at. The new song has a nice beat, but it isn’t amazing.
I think he’s trying to recapture what he had, and he doesn’t know how to move on. He’s stuck in a lot of ways…stuck in childhood, stuck in a style, stuck on wanting to be the most popular guy on the planet…to put it as nicely as I can, he’s not aging very gracefully as either an artist or a person. That makes trying to accept and enjoy his work for its own sake very difficult.
It’s sad, really, because I think he is a genius in many ways.
