Jackson's musical career began in 1967 as lead singer of The Jackson 5, when the group made their first recording with a local label before signing up with Motown Records in 1968. He made his first solo recordings in 1971 while still a member of the group. But it was Off the Wall (1979) which marked the start of his full-fledged solo career, and he formally parted with his siblings in 1984. In his solo career, Jackson recorded and co-produced the best-selling album of all time, Thriller (with worldwide sales over 100 million), received thirteen Grammy awards and charted thirteen #1 singles in the U.S. Throughout his four-decade career, Michael Jackson has been awarded numerous honors, including the World Music Awards Best-selling Pop Male Artist of the Millennium. He is also a double-inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1997, and in 2002 as a solo artist. He is also a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In the mid-1980s, TIME magazine described Jackson as "the hottest single phenomenon since Elvis Presley". He has had a notable impact on music and culture throughout the world while also tearing down racial barriers and paving the way for modern pop music.
From 1988 to 2005, Jackson lived on his Neverland Ranch property, on which he built an amusement park and private zoo for the enjoyment of economically disadvantaged and terminally ill children. In 1993 and 2003, separate accusations of child molestation that allegedly occurred in Neverland were made against Jackson, which drew intensely negative media coverage. While he was never charged for the first case, Jackson was tried and vindicated in 2005 of the latter allegation, but moved out of the US shortly thereafter. He later returned to Las Vegas in early 2007.
In the years following his acquittal, (2005-2009) Jackson made numerous public appearances including MTV Japan's VMA awards where he accepted the legends award; the World Music Awards where he accepted the Diamond Award for selling over 100 million records; James Brown's funeral where he paid tribute and delivered a sermon; and a fan appreciation event in Tokyo, Japan, where he greeted troops at US Army base Camp Zama. In early 2008, Jackson issued Thriller 25th Anniversary, a critical and commercial success that was the second-biggest selling album of 2008 with over 2.1 million copies sold worldwide.
On June 25, 2009, Jackson collapsed at a rented home in Holmby Hills in Los Angeles, California. The cause of death is currently believed to be cardiac arrest. At the time of his death, Jackson was scheduled to perform 50 sold-out concerts to over one million people, at London's O2 arena, from July 13, 2009, to March 6, 2010. During a press conference, Jackson made suggestions of possible retirement.
In the hours following Jackson's death, his record sales increased dramatically. His seminal album Thriller climbed to number one on the American iTunes music chart, while another eight made it into the top 40. In the UK, where Jackson would have performed less than three weeks after his death, fifteen of his albums occupied the top 15 spots on the Amazon music chart. Social music network website Last.fm also saw a dramatic increase in Michael Jackson plays per hour after the announcement of his death.
On December 10, 2010, a compilation album of previously unreleased material, simply entitled Michael, was released posthumously. Featuring guest performances by Akon, 50 Cent and Lenny Kravitz, the album was certified Platinum in 18 countries but received mixed reviews from most critics. This was followed in November 2011 by Immortal, a remix album; in September 2012 by Bad 25, a 25th anniversary reissue of Jackson's 1987 hit album Bad; and by Xscape, a second compilation album released in May 2014.

Invincible
Michael Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I could claim your heart and our perfect love will start
But girl you just won't approve of the things that I do
When all I do is for you but still you say it ain't cool
If there's somebody else, he can't love you like me
And he says he'll treat you well, he can't treat you like me
And he's buying diamonds and pearls, he can't do it like me
And he's taking you all across the world, he can't trick you like me
Why ain't you feelin' me? She's invincible
I can do anything, she's invincible
Even when I beg and plead, she's invincible
Girl won't give in to me, she's invincible
Now many times I've told you of all the things I would do
But I can't seem to get through no matter how I try to
So tell me how does it seem that you ain't checking for me?
When I know that I could be more than you could ever dream
If there's somebody else, he can't love you like me
And he says he'll treat you well, he can't treat you like me
And he's buying diamonds and pearls, he can't do it like me
And he's taking you all across the world, he can't trick you like me
So why ain't you feelin' me, she's invincible
I can do anything, she's invincible
Even when I beg and plead, she's invincible
Girl won't give in to me, she's invincible
Now some way I'll have to prove all that I said I would do
Giving you everything, fulfilling your fantasy
Then maybe you'll change your mind and finally give in in time
Then I'll be showing you what other men are supposed
To do for you my baby
Yo, mami, stop the fronting, I'm real with mine
All the things that I promised, I'll fulfill in time
Chains and the bracelet, got the realest shine
So many trips, ya'll have jetlag and still be fine
You can trip, but this money ain't long enough
He can spit, but his game ain't strong enough
Now the way you resisting, this ain't cool
It's like nothing seems to work, she's invincible
Why ain't you feelin' me? She's invincible
I can do anything, she's invincible
Even when I beg and plead, she's invincible
That girl won't give in to me, she's invincible
Why ain't you feelin' me? She's invincible
She's invincible, she's invincible
Why ain't you feelin' me? She's invincible
You see that girl won't give in to me, she's invincible
She's invincible
She's invincible
She's invincible
She's invincible
Why ain't you feelin' me? She's invincible
I can do anything, she's invincible
Even when I beg and plead, she's invincible
That girl won't give in to me, she's invincible
The lyrics of Michael Jackson's Invincible express his frustration at not being able to win over a woman he desires despite his best efforts. He believes that tearing down the emotional walls that keep them apart would allow their love to flourish, but the woman in question disagrees with Jackson's actions. He tries to convince her that he is the only one who can love her the way she deserves, and that diamonds and pearls cannot buy the kind of love that he can provide. Despite Jackson's confidence in his abilities, the woman remains "invincible," refusing to give in to his advances.
Throughout the song, Jackson questions why the woman is not "feelin' him," despite his repeated attempts to prove his love. He promises to fulfill her every fantasy and prove to her that he is capable of living up to his word. However, despite his confidence, the woman remains resistant to his advances, leaving Jackson feeling powerless.
Overall, the lyrics of Invincible reflect Jackson's deep desire to win over the woman he loves, but his attempts to do so only seem to push her away further. The sense of frustration and helplessness that he expresses throughout the song makes it clear that, at least in this case, love is not enough to conquer all.

If I could tear down these walls that keep you and I apart
If I could remove the emotional barriers between us
I know I could claim your heart and our perfect love will start
I am confident that we would have a loving relationship
But girl you just won't approve of the things that I do
But you disapprove of my actions
When all I do is for you but still you say it ain't cool
Even though everything I do is for you, you still think it's not okay
If there's somebody else, he can't love you like me
No one else can love you like I do
And he says he'll treat you well, he can't treat you like me
Even if he promises to treat you well, he can't do it like I can
And he's buying diamonds and pearls, he can't do it like me
Even if he buys you jewelry and expensive gifts, it still won't be like what I can give you
And he's taking you all across the world, he can't trick you like me
Even if he takes you on lavish trips around the world, he can't deceive you like I can
Why ain't you feelin' me? She's invincible
Why don't you understand me? She's unyielding
I can do anything, she's invincible
I feel like I can conquer anything, but she's still unapproachable
Even when I beg and plead, she's invincible
Even if I beg and plead, she still won't give in
Girl won't give in to me, she's invincible
She refuses to give in to me, she's unbeatable
Now many times I've told you of all the things I would do
I have explained all the things I would do for you
But I can't seem to get through no matter how I try to
But I can't seem to make you understand, no matter how hard I try
So tell me how does it seem that you ain't checking for me?
So why don't you seem interested in me?
When I know that I could be more than you could ever dream
When I know that I could make your wildest dreams come true
Now some way I'll have to prove all that I said I would do
I will have to prove all the things I promised to do
Giving you everything, fulfilling your fantasy
Giving you everything you want and fulfilling all your desires
Then maybe you'll change your mind and finally give in in time
Then maybe you will change your mind and eventually give in to me
Then I'll be showing you what other men are supposed to do for you my baby
Then I will show you how real men are supposed to treat you, my sweetheart
Yo, mami, stop the fronting, I'm real with mine
Hey, my darling, stop pretending and be real with me
All the things that I promised, I'll fulfill in time
I will fulfill all the promises I made to you over time
Chains and the bracelet, got the realest shine
My jewelry is the most real and impressive
So many trips, ya'll have jetlag and still be fine
We will go on so many trips that you'll still look great, even with jet lag
You can trip, but this money ain't long enough
You can doubt me, but my money isn't endless
He can spit, but his game ain't strong enough
He may have some charm, but he can't compete with me
Now the way you resisting, this ain't cool
Now the way you are resisting is unacceptable
It's like nothing seems to work, she's invincible
It's like nothing I do is making a difference, she's unbeatable
