"You Rock My World" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. The question for a 42-year-old Michael Jackson heading towards the end of 2001 was whether or not the self-proclaimed King Of Pop could make ... Full Descriptionhis presence known on the charts after having spent much of the '90s laying low. If the chart-topping position achieved by INVINCIBLE is any indication, then the answer is a resounding yes. The album is primarily produced by Jersey wunderkind Rodney Jerkins, and Jacko wasted no time tapping other top-flight artists and knob-twirlers to help out, including Teddy Riley, Babyface and R.Kelly.
Michael pulls out all the stops here, whether peppering the opener "Unbreakable" with his trademark falsetto and a posthumous rap from the Notorious B.I.G, or recruiting guitar great Carlos Santana to contribute some tasty playing to the Latin slow-burn of "Whatever Happens." Elsewhere, comedian Chris Tucker contributes some high speed patter to the groove-heavy, piano-driven hit single "You Rock My World," while gospel superstar Andrae Crouch and his choir provide harmonic firepower to the magically lush "Speech". Although MJ stops long enough to take a swipe at yellow journalists everywhere with "Privacy," he truly shines on "The Lost Children," a sweeping ode to his young fans everywhere.

Invincible Music Review Average Rating: (4.2 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews Pretty good
I was impressed! I didn't think he'd be able to pull it off very well, but Michael jackson's new CD, Invincible, really amazed me! I heard it from someone else's collection and I had to buy one for myself! Jackson keeps the style he is known for and modifies it to create a funky cool sound. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who has ever liked Michael Jackson's music.

Long Life to the KING OF POP
Whow! This album is just great. Maybe is not what we spected about the album, because we thought that we will hear a totally new Michael. I love the album, because it shows the Michael that we used to hear. Great songs, some make you dance, some make you cry and some let you think how is now the world we living...
I reccomend to hear Speechless and Whatever happens and if you want to dance Unbreakable, You Rock My World and 2000 watts will transport you to the dancefloor
