Who wants to see a 50-year-old who's past their best? Oh, everyone apparently

Right now, London is awash with Michael Jackson fever. Unless you've been living under a rock for the last week or so, you'll know that the King of Pop has decided to play in London for one last time and has announced a residency at the O2 arena. Originally, he was set to play just ten dates, but due to the enormous demand is now playing 37 nights. That's a hell of a lot of demand. Considering that the 10 gigs were due to fetch him $60million, I can only imagine that he's now going to make in the region of $222million. Well he needs it now, that's for sure.

So everyone has gone nuts to get tickets, and I must admit, even I've got mine on the way. Why? Well, in my opinion, the guy is the greatest performer who's ever lived. He single-handedly shaped pop music into what we know it as today, and still has by far the greatest music videos of all time.

But, do I expect the now 50-year-old, half man half material Michael to be as good as he would have been 20 years ago? No, no I don't; but if it's really the last chance I'll have to see him perform, I'm there with bells on. Hell, he might surprise us all and still seriously rock the house, though I doubt it somehow.

Smooth Criminal (by far the greatest)
