Michael Jackson’s Comeback Tour Is A Disaster Waiting To Happen… Probably

Posted: 24 Apr 2009 01:00 PM PDT

When Michael Jackson announced he was going to make a live comeback at the London O2 Arena, I wasn’t surprised as it had been rumored for ages, but I was shocked and stunned. Could Wacko Jacko really pull this off?

What better way to answer that question than to ask the readers of Brit Music Scene, some will who no doubt be going to see the once-great man and some who (like me) wouldn’t do so if it were the only live music event all year.

The result was actually a lot closer than I thought it would be, with ‘A disaster’ only just pipping ‘Brilliant’. However, if you combine the numbers for the negative answers and compare those to the number of votes for the one positive answer, it seems Michael Jackson still has work to do to convince us he’s capable of a comeback.

Michael Jackson’s Comeback Tour…

A disaster waiting to happen. - 36 - 35% of all votes
Brilliant. Count me in. - 33 - 32% of all votes
Worst idea ever. - 12 - 12% of all votes
Nay - 11 - 11% of all votes
Who is Michael Jackson? - 10 - 10% of all votes

Total Votes: 102

Part of me wants this to go well for Jacko. He’s had such a bad press for the last few years that maybe he deserves a break. But I just can’t see it. Can he even sing anymore? What about those reports he’s too nervous to even go on stage?

I fear that if this comeback goes horribly werong that this poll may have a different winner if repeated in a few years time. The question on everyone’s lips by then may be “Who is Michael Jackson?”
