2 years

The famous "INVINCIBLE" album gets 2 years old today. If its promotion

hadn't been stopped so suddenly, we'd probably have the chance to see MJ on

tour at the moment! We can also imagine all the good clips that would have

been issued from the album. This is so sad, when everything gets ruined

after so many years of work!
