Thing is: what killed that album was MJ's insistence on an alpha persona and the public's insistence on not buying it, as evident in that awful "You Rock My World" video. He looked like Latoya with a fedora and a flour face mask on. His lustful suitor schtick was embarrassing to watch. Even Chris Tucker was manlier despite his high-pitched voice. Plus, the crötch grab had gotten old and stale by that era. Truth is: MJ + Prince were unsexy.
