Favorite Michael Jackson Song
 

I think even the coach has a Michael Jackson song that he sings to when it comes on the radio.

Whats your favorite?

Mine no doubt is "i want you back". A little before my time but I seem to get into his old jackson five stuff more than the later music.

Very sad. What an amazing talent.

say, say, say

favorite video...smooth criminal

I love the honesty! Favorite video might have been Jam or of course Thriller.

What do you think about the pedophilia accusations?

I have this weird thing where i can detach myself from all of the ancillary stuff. The Michael Jackson we saw on stage seemed like a character. It was someone he became. That character was an amazing talent.

Do I think there was something there? Impossible to say. You would think that after the FIRST time that he would keep himself clear of situations like that so maybe there was some fire to that smoke. Would I let any of my kids spend the night over there? No...which makes me curious as to why the last parents let their kids over there.


The real question is whether or not those kids he claimed were his really were his?

I think he might be innocent. Tito looks like a kiddie fiddler and he's never been accused.

The kids are white. I'd say no.

I don't get people saying he was an amazing talent.

He was hopeless as a singer.

I guess he could do that useless moon walk thing of his. I've seen better dancing when I was in high school.

Did he play instruments (besides the flute that is)?

Did he write music? Lyrics?

Of the last three, only lyrics are possible, and his lyrics were as shallow as Death Valley.

That is, if he even wrote them.

The Way You Make Me Feel or Billie Jean

Billy Jean and Smooth Criminal are my fav's.

Wow, crusin you tube for Weird Al video's at 5am. And I thought I had the life.


P.Y.T./Billie Jean.

This one was Dr. Watson's favorite...

I'll miss you Michael :{>:

Don't know how anyone can listen to the first 70 seconds of "Man in the Mirror," and then say the person wasn't that talented. O.K., he pssd it away, but he had it. That's my favorite song of his (post-freak.) I'll be there is my favorite pre-freak song, but this is my favorite performance(acting like a lil James Brown):

Could be because he has the top selling album of all time(and he always will.)

He's no Doctor

Thriller. Changed the meaning of a "music video."

Yeah the pedophilia stuff and the crazy sh1t he used to pull was disconcerting, but I don't know how anyone couldn't like his music.

Think I did some permanent damage to the ear drum when Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' came on the car radio the other day.

I like the way he did it on soul train:

Legs grew a lil in between those 2 performances.

I watch that and its not like "he is really good for a 13 year old". I watch it and im thinking that is one of the most talented performers i have ever seen and he is only 13. As he gets older he confirms it here:

This is a rare video of Michael Jackson and DrugS at the young age of 8

I guess I "appreciate" his "talent", but I really have never liked a single song of his...sorry. BUT..Can you imagine if The Jackson 5 had happened now instead of then? It would have been unreal..think Jonas Brothers, that stupid Timberlake abortion, In Sync all rolled into one. Gazillions I tell ya', gazillions...

bigger than hanson?

It wouldn't have been that big of a deal. They were awkward looking on stage except Michael.

One of the main reasons why they were successful is because Barry Gordy took the black out of them so that white people could relate to them and feel comfortable watching them perform.

Take their "talent' and move it up 20 years, polish it, market it and Michael would have carried it.

and i agree with the Barry Gordy thing..different ball game back then

when i was that age i was throwing rocks at rob hrifco and pimping out my stingray.

and now i lack the world's weirdest fans.

Michael & Britney (before she lost her mind and awesome body) celebrate the Jackson's 30th Anniversery:

I always thought that his performance (although it was probably lip synced) on the Motown 25th special was his coming out party.

I'm going to wear one white glove every time I play golf in his honor.

My favorite was "Saginaw, Michigan" We were talking about Stonewall Jackson, right?:confused:

Yeah it was definitely lip synced. Still a great performance.

I was never a big fan, not my type of music but he was undeniably talented and responsible for the music video and MTV. A troubled man, hope he has found peace (I believe he has)...favorite song??? I guess Thriller for the theatrical effect.

You mean, kinda like how the bible is the best selling book of all time?

No, most people are scared into buying the Bible. Most don't buy it for pleasure. They buy it to save their own a_ss.

He has a boy named Blanket? Wonder what the next kid's name was gunna be. Towel?..Car?..Bottle?..Rocket?...

WOW...Maybe not a great idea to have people singing at 10:30 in the morning. This was like the hardest thing Mariah Carey has ever done(and she had to half sing it, too.)

She's finger painting:

Uh, don't ask me what happened at 1:40-1:42. I don't see why the "call" in "call me" is just not there. Girl was simply trippin'.

He had an awesome voice from like 8-14. Had a 3 octave range, and a great natural voice tone. He was a great little dancer. There's a point (when he was 16-18 ) where he really didn't have much. His voice had changed to a mediocre male version of Diana Ross, and his body was very awkward. If he didn't have incredible creative abilities, then his career would have pretty much faded there(cuz he has never had a great singing voice as an adult.) So, I agree with you about his singing voice(from about '75 on.) His dancing, and writing ability? Have no clue how you can say he didn't have massive ability in those 2 areas. Unless it's a country or rock act, if you want to make money in a concert tour, it's now pretty much a necessity to have complex dancing involved. You grew up in SOCAL. You know the local stations (2,4,5,7,9,11, and 13.) The only one this memorial service isn't on is 13.

To paraphrase a former Scuds quoute:

I think LA folk would pay to see whores battle each other in a wiffle ball game.

I highly doubt I said that about L.A., but I am pretty sure I said it about Chicago folks. Probably when they had the outdoor hockey game.
