Seems like fans are divided into this question. Some says don't buy, some says you have to buy. And the reasons is different for each. Those who says to not buy, says they will not support Sony, they will not support songs that is not sang buy Michael, Michael wouldn't want these songs to be released. Those who ask others to buy and will buy by themselves says that they want to support Michael's name and his legacy in these songs, they want to support Michael's family/ estate, they want to get Michael Nr 1, they love the songs, some even says they don't care who sings some of those songs as long as Michael's name is in there.

Although the reasons are different but action will be one. What will be your choice?

And let's be open minded. Do not attack or call names those who will not buy and vice versa Everybody is responsible for their own choices and let's respect their choice

I have already pre-ordered it. And I might buy it several times.

From what I know, most fans will buy it. It's only a very small group that will not support Sony.

what is the cause of you buying it several times?

[Sharon007]

Ite released here on the 10th

I don't know if I'll buy it. I just don't know if I want to spend money on a Michael Jackson album that might have an impersonator on some tracks. I have too many doubts about it to just get it. I'm not even sure I'll like some of the songs, because I just don't like the current popular music, and some of the other artists involved.

[magic]

Laura, haven't you heard the album yet?!

[HanabiChick]

I don't want to download it, so I don't know how else I could listen to it without buying it.

[magic]

michaeljackson.com is streaming the whole album online for few days already

[HanabiChick]

I didn't realise that streaming link was the full album, I thought it was previews. I went and listened, but I didn't like a lot of it. They're just not songs I would listen too, a couple were a bit too much 1970s style for me (a decade of music I don't like). A lot of it was too much alike for me. Michael used to mix different styles together and that's what I liked about his albums, and that's missing for me on this one. I think my vote goes to I will not after hearing it. I'd rather buy something I'd get more enjoyment out of, like the Opus book.

there was one version without a booklet, and one version with a booklet

I bought the first one

[magic]

that's a lot to pay for 1 booklet lol

I haven't seen our in shop yet. There is no advert about the album in Latvia at all I am not even sure if it will be here tomorrow lol

[Sharon007]

I only seen the jewel cover version in the shops here. There isnt much promotion here either. In the first few days of the albums release it entered the iTunes Chart at No 9 then no 6 and now its at No 11. I dont know why this is happening. Maybe its due to lack of adverts I have only spotted it once on the TV. Although some fans think that when its released in the UK & USA there might be more promotion of it.

[carolanne]

I have not bought it yet. I am not sure I will like it. I have doubts about Michael with all these other Artists
whom I am not interested in. I would rather listen to Michael on his previous albums. So many rumors that it is not him,
and only bits and peices of him.

[magic]

I agree, the rumours about it not being Michael is not doing good for the album. But I think itš only between fans. Ppl who are common radio listeners don't even know about it, I think.

Carolanne, I think you may not like the next album as well then. Teddy Riley said Michael has left some songs with one verse, he didn't sing the other one there so they are thinking to asking other singers to sing it making as a duet.
