Michael Jackson (The artist) - Appreciation Thread

[Nancy.]

After watching Justin Timberlake's lacklustre Super Bowl performance, I can't help but feel saddened by the loss of the legendary Michael Jackson. Rumours and controversy aside, he was brilliant. There will never be another one like him. I'm so pleased I saw him on tour all those years ago.

Damaged personality.

[Niamh.]

My favourite of his songs was the way you make me feel (although looking back at the video, it's a bit dodgy :laugh: )

Would have loved to have seen that. My cousin saw it and said he was fantastic.

I know it sounds crazy but it seemed like the world stopped turning the day he died. It was horrible.

[Greg!]

Hmm Thriller is a bit of a bop I guess and now you mention it I do like ABC by the Jackson 5

I still have memorabilia from that concert and a signed Thriller album, it was a horrible day when he died and made worse by the fact he was about to do another tour which would have been epic as it was his first for years, but he has left us with some iconic tunes.

[Nicky91]

yeah maybe Thriller for the iconic music video

[GiRTh]

Flawed genius

[Niamh.]

Flawed genius

I think anyone who gets that much fame at such a young age is going to go a little bit crazy. As much money and success that he had I wouldn't wish for it for a minute

Omg, that's brilliant. That'll be worth something, so make sure you hang on to it.

A lot of people had their doubts about him completing the 50 date residency, but after watching "This Is It" movie he didn't seem as frail as people said. I had tickets for that show too. His passing has left a massive hole in the music industry. Gone before his time...like Prince.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Don't particularly like any of his music

rock my world is a bop i guess but other than that i don’t care for him

[Nancy.]

Neither would I.

and then of course, he had to deal with being beaten and abused by his father. It must've been awful.

[Denver]

Once in a lifetime talent the only 2 people that have come close to his level of success for this generation is Beyonce and Adele

[RileyH]

i only like billie jean

[Denver]

Man in The Mirror is a timeless bop which sadly only became a hit when he died

[ethanjames]

I grew up listening to him so it still saddens me

[Shaun]

Flawed genius

Indeed

[Niamh.]

Man in The Mirror is a timeless bop which sadly only became a hit when he died

It went to Number 1 in the US when it was released

[Denver]

It went to Number 1 in the US when it was released

I meant UK wise it didnt make top 20 but when he died hit #2

[Gstar]

Amazing artist and music. Talent was like no other

[Eddie.]

He's still one of my idols. I have all his albums on my ITunes lol.
Lucky you got to see him on tour Nancy!

[Jordan.]

There wont ever be a male popstar as entertaining as him

(and Beat It is his best I don't care wot's said)

[Mystic Mock]

He is a rare artist in the fact that he could dabble into so many Musical genres and look authentic in those styles rather than an imitator.

My favourite songs off him are Dirty Diana, Earth Song, Thriller, Black Or White, and Bad.

[Jamie89]

One of the most talented musicians/performers of all time :love:

[Alf]

I prefer Elvis as a king

[Nancy.]

Bumping this thread to remind people what a genius he was.

[LukeB]

God of pop

[arista]

Yes He Worked Hard in music,
nearly got back to the UK for Live gigs
then we lost him.

[Kazanne]

I saw him on his BAD tour in Wembley,my mom took me,I will never forget that concert,it was mesmerising and he was a fantastic showman, no one could top him imo, I feel so blessed to have had the chance to see him live.

[Jake.]

Had some fantastic stuff behind his name but as the years went by his music became really subpar :shrug:

The Earth Song is honestly one of the most atrocious pieces recorded
