does anyone see a resemblance in the careers of eminem and michael jackson, they both got hugely popular and kind of pulled away from everything and more or less became freaks, michael in the way he looks, and eminem is just strange in interviews and everything anymore...i remember when they debuted "mockingbird" on trl when they cut back after the video em is wipin' tears...i can understand being emotional and all that, but i think dude is just sick of fame and wants to live his life, kind of like michael who i think never had a childhood so he lives it through other peoples kids and his own now...they both just got so huge they could have no regular life and would have trouble leaving the confines of there homes. what better time to leave the game than when you are on top, and honestly, if you only heard a couple guest appearances from em a year, he might start to sound fresh again and regain some of the fans and respect he lost with encore.
