lol.

Fortunate to see Michael back when I was 10 or so. Still one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

Just curious...anyone know what his child looks like now? "Blanket" was his name, right?

Are you serious? He was so good, and his music was first class. Too bad he turned into a weirdo, but his music is still wonderful.

Is it really so hard to believe?

Telling us why you exactly don't like his stuff would be a nice start..

I never said i don't like it, but as a matter of fact i mostly don't. I don't like the sound of his voice, i don't connect with his music and i don't find there being anything remarkable about it irrespective of my personal taste and preferences.

fair..

He was a great entertainer, and had some quite catchy songs.

hardly any entertainers put on a show like he did anymore.

singing, dancing, pedophelia.

not even cirque du soleil gives you all of that.

Thats your own personal shit.. keep it to yourself.. you freak..you said he is 'overrated'.. so who you think is better than him and should be rated above him?

Take it easy.

the best:

I'd probably agree that Michael Jackson is a bit overrated. He made some brilliant pop music in the late 70s and early 80s, but almost everything after then has been crap. Furthermore, most of this best stuff was neither written nor produced by him, so his credit is mainly as a great singer and dancer. All well and good, but someone like Justin Timberlake can sing and dance well too, and he isn't hailed like MJ is. A lot if it has to do with nostalgia.

im not someone who grew up with mjs music. i was introduced to it much later and long after hed been hailed as the king of pop. probably when he felt the most backlash in the media. add to this, timberlake's stuff is pretty much the music of my youth, yet I can spot the drastic difference in talent. at best justin is an immitator.

jackson also wrote quite a bit of his own stuff. billie jean, which is widely considered his crowning achievement, was written and co-produced by him.

jichael mackson for me

his new album photo

Hilarious, you fucking cheb end.

mj is guilty, of being weird

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J Your facts are wrong. Michael Jackson has not sold more albums than anyone else. That would be either Elvis or The Beatles, who have sold so many records nobody is even sure of the exact number any more, although both are in the region of a billion, and rising. Additionally, it's your logic that's flawed. The assertion that "nobody has entertained people like MJ" is subjective and unverifiable, and the fact that he sold a lot of records is merely the popularity appeal, which everyone knows is flawed all the way through. If the popularity appeal logic was correct, Britney Spears would be objectively superior to every electronic music act ever, on account of having sold more records. And so on and so forth. In short: shut the fuck up about logic, kid.

Decent post.

Definatley appreciate him. revolutionary for pop.

Personally though i think his sister janet was under rated. Some of her songs were much better produced then michael's.

the full version of bad.. i havent seen this one in a while (hope it wasnt posted before)

The difference with Timberlake is that he's nowhere near as influential as MJ was, nor was he as good of a dancer or singer or artist as MJ, meaning he's shit compared to him. Then again, I personally think Timberlake is shit so maybe its all personal preferences maybe?
