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.

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):

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.

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.

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.
