"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 his 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.

6 out of 10 - ...A relevant and rejuvenated comeback...

3 stars out of 5 - ...Fleet, durable R&B minimalism....and ballads ranging from Los Angeles smooth to the odd. Best of the bunch succeed with the kind of life-affirming number Jackson will never desert...

      CD is scratched
    Review created: 04/07/08

    Several of the songs were inaudible because the CD has been scratched. I am not completly satisfied. I must say several of the songs on the CD that I really like I was able to listen to and enjoy them; however, the entire CD is not in good condition.

    I love the song Anything. Quite honestly, it's the only one that I listen to. My mom had the cassette and I decided to purchase the CD. Kim Burrell's range is phenomenal. Her vibrato is unparalleled and if you really want to hear someone who can sing....better yet SANG, a Kim Burrell album is what you need to get you through those tough times when praise is difficult. Uplifting.

    This album is one of Michael's greatest. I bought this album the first day it came out, his music truly inspires me. I highly recommend this album to every Michael Jackson fan out there. This is a must have for all collecters, and fans. If you're looking forward to buying Invincible, you aren't making a mistake!
