How the **** is that a massive comeback? For a massive comeback he'd require a big tour, decent number-one single and a decent album all around the same time. This is simply a one-off gig, I wouldn't even go so far as calling it a comeback but yeah I'd say it's pretty good stuff for his fans who's seen very little of him as of recent.

Of course it's a massive comeback. MJ hasn't done a tour for years so even the smallest gig is a Massive one for him and his fans.

MJ on the verge of a MASSIVE balcony is a more appropriate title.

despite what he's done, he's a ******* good singer.

despite what he's done, he's a ******* good singer.How can you say 'What he's done' when he wasn't found guilty.

Not really, it's just a come back... An over-estimated come back :P

I thought he was pretty much on his death bed :S

[clarissa !!]

yeah i swear hes like ill or something, like physically (aswell as mentally)

[flatface]

Yeh he had a flesh eating disease or something like that :8

[Pyroka]

I bet you'll have to be over 18 to go into the concert... if you get me.For yknow, security purposes.

He hasn't done anything as he would of been found Guilty.
No-one knows if he really did touch those kids but i think those kids were lieing and were just after there money.

People need to move on and have a little sense and stop saying he is a child molester because he wasn't found guilty.

There was no evidence to prove that he touched those kids.

Look, MJ aka King of Pop, hasn't done a Gig/Tour for years, he sang 3 lines in 2006 and his last ever major Gig was in 2001.

It's Micheal Jackson were talking about here, no one in the world, i don't think would ever had the smallest thought that he would come back, doing maybe atleast 30 Shows so it's massive.

If he's going to earn 100-150 Mil by doing 30 shows then without doubt it's a massive comeback.

I'm still shocked that he's back though, only a few weeks ago he was quite seriously ill.

People have been waiting for hours, he showed up very late without a reason, then we get some footage, then he finally appears for three whole sentences.
What kind of press conference was this?
I love the man, really I do. But I think it would've been more effective if he just lined all the fans up and slapped us in the face for waiting all these years for his "return."
Something doesn't seem right, why "return" to retire? Ten shows at the London o2 will not cement his musical legacy if that's the aim. He didn't have to get everyone's hopes up for a press conference where he then makes it seem like performing for his fans is too big a burden for him now.
I didn't really expect to hear about a new album (which quite a few fans did) but I expected him to be at least a little excited about performing for the fans that have stood by him for years.
He looked nice, he spoke well, no gimmicks--but it seemed pretty cold. He couldve recorded that same speech and not wasted the time of all the thousands of people who showed up, the ones waching on the tv at home or the livestream online.
I'm pretty annoyed, but I'm glad that he'll at least be doing some concerts.
I hope he does 10 amazing shows then leaves the music world with nothing but great memories.
He's coming back to finish in style rather than just wither away, which is what was in danger of happening, so I guess I'll be happy.
Although I won't be able to see him live now.. ever. :(
