How do you KNOW that his marriage to Lisa-Marie was a "publicity stunt"? From all accounts I've known, they loved each other and stayed in touch well after that marriage ended. But - why does it matter? What does it have to do with MJ's musical legacy?
HAVE YOU ASKED Lisa-Marie or Michael about that marriage? They are the only two people qualifed to speak to/about what that marriage was or was not. Or, did you simply choose to define it yourselves in a negative light that you thought would tittilate viewers looking for dirt on MJ?
If you did not ASK them rather than TELLING/defining their marriage yourselves for tabloid sensationalism, than anything said about it is pretty much tabloid trash - you are not qualified to define MJ's marriage(s) to anyone. You know nothing about it. Nor does anyone else. Furthermore, it's irrelevant.
Invincible was NOT a failure. It went PLATINUM. SINCE WHEN is a platinum album a "failure"?
I stopped watching after that. This "biography" is garbage.
Just as bad this type of crap being put out about MJ, is the people who read, watch, and believe it.
As long as people watch and believe the media and tabloid garbage, it will sell magazines, books, and get viewers online, on teevee, and for films.
The answer? STOP WATCHING it and stop reading it. It's full of lies - and negative definitions of a person that only serve as a justification for calling them names ("whacko-jacko", and "freak") and ridiculing them based on those negative definitions.
Sure it sells magazines and gets viewers. But, It's destructive, disingenuous, dishonest, immoral, abusive, and greedy.
Don't contribute to the further destruction of people like MJ (or his memory) for profit by watching this. Save yourself the trouble.
SEEK and tell ONLY THE TRUTH. Do NOT define others negatively, let them define themselves and when they cannot speak for themselves....HAVE SOME RESPECT and
SHOW SOME COMPASSION
Lastly, should you choose not to follow the advice above, may your Karma be with you always and all ways.
Good Day.
