只發了YRMY並不是因為都沒有人關心這張新專輯...(後來Cry跟butterflies其實 technically也算是有發單曲,butterflies還登上Billboard R&B單曲榜亞軍,現在美國 單曲榜只要有電台撥放,沒有發行CD單曲也是可以上榜的) 回到第一句要講的,最後invincible沒有好好宣傳主要是MJ跟Tommy Mottola之間的糾紛 詳見 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invincible_%28album%29 在此轉貼第二三段. Just before the release of Invincible, Jackson informed then Sony Music Entertainment head, Tommy Mottola, that he was not going to renew his contract,[1] signed in 1991, which was about to expire in terms of supplying the label with albums of full-new material for release through Epic Records/Sony Music Entertainment. By 2002, sales and interest in the album had decreased rapidly, which prompted Mottola to cancel all single releases, video shootings and promotions concerning the Invincible album. Due to this abrupt canceling, Jackson made allegations about Sony not supporting its African American artists. In addition, reportedly racist remarks were made by Sony Entertainment's head, Tommy Mottola. As a result Jackson and other label artists claimed he was a racist who used black artists for his own personal gain.[2] Jackson also insisted that Mottola called Irv Gotti a "fat nigger"[3]. Sony issued a statement saying the allegations were untrue, citing Motolla's previous marriage to pop star Mariah Carey, who is of Venezuelan and African-American descent, and his current marriage with Mexican pop star Thalia. There were seven singles and videos that Sony and Jackson wanted to release from Invincible.Initially, Jackson wanted to release "Unbreakable" as the debut single from the album, partnered with a 20-minute music video. However, Sony wanted Jackson to release "You Rock My World" instead of "Unbreakable" due to shorter production time of the video accompanying the single. "You Rock My World" was the only worldwide single release from Invincible and would reach the top ten position in 22 countries. Jackson had also planned to release "The Lost Children", "Break of Dawn", "Butterflies", "Speechless", "Cry" and "Whatever Happens" (with Carlos Santana). --
