Michael Jackson (The artist) - Appreciation Thread
 

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.








































:clap1: :clap1:

he was pretty special musically but totally fckd up mentally

Basically this

Don't particularly like any of his music

that cant even be possible

i don't really like or dislike his music, bit too boring for me personally

Amazing artist.
Damaged personality.

Really?

Not even "Thriller" or anything from the Jackson 5?

:facepalm:

I adored him,saw him in concert at Wembley when he did his 'BAD' tour,he was phenominal, will never forget it or him,was devastated when he died.

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

:clap1:

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.

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.

yeah maybe Thriller for the iconic music video

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.

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

Neither would I.

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

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

i only like billie jean

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

I grew up listening to him so it still saddens me

Indeed
