The only thing the two share is that they were both white..


I think I figured out who has enough pull to get his death celebrated without any shed of his weirdness...It was O

haha no, I'm not saying its alright - I'm saying, maybe he REALLY didn't know he was doing anything wrong.
Like the first time a little kid hurts an animal, eg. throws their cat down the stairs. Its cruel and wrong, but if the kid has never been taught to understand the situation, then how do they know to not do it?

I understand what you mean, but for me, I don't think he was that far gone to not know what he was doing was wrong. JMO.

At the same time frame of height of popularity PRINCE who was a GENIUS was over shadowed by a fast food pre packaged FREAK because thanks to childhood stardom he fit a DEMOGRAPHIC

It is a shameful embarrassment to western civilization which gave us at one point in time the pinnacle of musical capacity in multiple time periods, from Classical to Jazz to Rock modern hip hop and even Techno in it's various forms which took genuine ingenuity and talent

It's like turning down caviar in exchange for a BIG MAC and putting Ronald Mc Donald on the iron Chef

Off The Wall:
Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough
Written by Jackson, the track was the first solo recording over which he had creative control, and his debut single released under Epic Records.

The song was certified gold within a few months of release. The musical piece also won Jackson his first solo Grammy and American Music Awards. Garnering critical acclaim for its composition, the track is considered the first song to showcase Jackson's talents, both as a singer and songwriter

Thriller:
Wanna Be Startin' Somethin
Beat It
Billie Jean

Bad:
Bad
The Way You Make Me Feel
Speed Demon
Liberian Girl
Another Part Of Me
I Just Cant Stop Loving You
Dirty Diana
Smooth Criminal
Leave Me Alone


I think there is enough there to show his abilities.

When did MJ do anything GOOD?

on April 14, 1984, Michael Jackson was single handedly responsible for equipping a 19-bed-unit at Mount Sinai New York Medical Center. This center is now a critical part of the T.J. Martell Foundation for leukemia and cancer research;

on December 13, 1984, Michael visited the Brotman Memorial Hospital, where he had been treated when he was burned during the producing of a Pepsi commercial. He subsequently donated all the money he received from Pepsi, $1.5 million, to the Michael Jackson Burn Center for Children;

in 1986, Michael set up the `Michael Jackson UNCF Endowed Scholarship Fund'. This $1.5 million fund is aimed toward assisting students majoring in performance art and communications, with money given each year to students attending a UNCF member college or university;

on July 16, 1988, Michael met the Prince of Wales and his wife Diana, where he donated 150,000 pounds for the Prince's Trust, and a check of 100,000 pounds for the children's hospital at Great Ormond Street;

on January 1989, the proceeds of one of Michael's shows in Los Angeles were donated to Childhelp USA, the biggest charity organization against child abuse. In appreciation of the contributions of Michael, Childhelp of Southern California founded the `Michael Jackson International Institute for Research On Child Abuse'

etc etc etc - more here

Hey .... the guy had problems but he DID do some very good things.

THERE ARE 2 Sections in the song...

aside from the words....

Don't stop until you get enough and keep On with "THE FORCE" LOL

What the hell did he write?

There isn't a single coherent line aside from the chorus which is two half sentences...

It's... catchy lol...

This is talent to you

It's not a song, it's a jingle

Thriller

Its close to midnight and something evils lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
Youre paralyzed
Chorus
cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no ones gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know its thriller, thriller night
Youre fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight


What...what is this? what makes these good lyrics, they mean something, thye are about what?

Thriller, thriller, thriller night?

you know...

Ive obviously listened to it...

I don't shut it off...

I don't shut off the them for Mr Clean either

What exactly is the meaning here... terror in the night thriller, thriller....

It sticks in your head sure, he repeats the same lyrics OVER and OVER and Over again

where is the brilliance of this?

How does it even compare to 90% of whats out there?

He's a falsetto...so is half of an 8th grade boys choir...

what, what is it.... that makes these lyrics special

First of all, i repeat......
The song was certified gold within a few months of release. The musical piece also won Jackson his first solo Grammy and American Music Awards. Garnering critical acclaim for its composition, the track is considered the first song to showcase Jackson's talents, both as a singer and songwriter.
So obviously someone like it

I agree, lyrically its not epic. But its a pop/disco/dance song, so lyrically it doesn't have to be epic. It gets people moving, dancing, off their arse and on their feet.
Talking of getting people dancing, here is a very good article about Michael Jacksons dancing.



www.chron.com...

It highlights all of MJs influences and how he made them his own.

MICHAEL JACKSON DIDNT WRITE THRILLER.

MJ obviously gave allot of money to charity

AND the guy also won records for income... did he miss it, I mean okay he did do some good I suppose...

But if a Guy worth a Billion gives away a 100 Million and spends the rest on amusement parks...

Is he special compared to a guy who makes 100 G and gives away 50 G

Is this why he is all over the media like some guy, having more money than can be counted at one point and and blasting some off?
Not diminishing it... hey I agree he gave away a bunch of money

but he was no Mother Theresa he never spent a moment missing it, he didn't exactly deny himself luxury in life...

He had a personal Zoo...

He never missed a dime nor suffered one bit

He wasn't some saint

reply to post by LiveForever8


Mc Donalds sold a Trillion Burgers...

It doesn't make it GOOD Food...

Mc Donalds also gives away allot of charity money...

It doesn't mean the CEO's give an actual gosh darn about anyone

If Mc Donalds died tomorrow... Burger King could fill the void

Enough already with all the MJ talk

He had a few good songs and could dance. That's it!!

Yes virgina, the truth does sometimes hurt. The world's masses of people are naive, unintelligent, misinformed and out right deceived! What can anyone really do now a days but sit back and watch this living movie that we all are collectively experiencing? On top of all that, we are constantly conditioning and brain washing ourselves in following the path of Death. Can't get away from it. Lastly, how many of you reconized that MJ did not recieve a "Christian" farewell?

You are obsessed with MacDonalds!
Stop taking your obvious anger with McDonalds out on Michael Jackson.
How on earth can you compare MacDonalds with Michael Jackson?
Its a poor analogy
Did you get felt up by a Ronald MacDonald impersonator when you were younger? You seem to be harboring a lot of animosity to him.

Hmmmmmmm........I just can't get this picture of Jesus out of my mind. Jesus grabbing his crotch, making pelvic thrusts and screaming like a little girl.

Friends of michael jackson report that he was very often
All hopped up on drugs, he would get high and then praise
God like a soup-kitchen christian.

Perhaps the most amazing thing about mj's life was the
Early years when he was a talented young pop icon.
During his later years, he became something entirely different.
One can find out what by reading the capitalized letters in this post.

what a retarded and un thoughtful quote!..

you dont have proof on any of them allegations, maybe the drug abuse .. but wheres your actual proof?!

sorry, retarded stuff like this really grates on me... and i cant believe how many stars it got... for a site like ats a fair load of people seem to deny any sort of truth as they deny the fact theirs no actual evidence against jackson other than the previous failed witchhunts. .. remember this sites motto -- DENY IGNORANCE


(dont mean to sound like im preaching, but c'mon ppl! stop being so closed to thoughts just because someone accused him of somethgin real nasty! plenty people get accused of things when they have not done anything, if he was accused of seeing aliens or being in the NWO or something, people would be going mad trying to proove or disproove it, but as the accusation was child abuse, it hits a nerve with people (as it should). but from what ive seen in uk / us societys these days (in these high level celeb related storys) is that even if theirs no proof in the slightest, people will still act like its in fact been prooved true, as it gives them a moral high ground over someone that is elevated above anyone, i suppose noone likes the fact that theirs people higher than them in the food chain and when theirs a chance to think their scum and your better then them they will hold on to that, even if theirs no evidence.. as it makes people think "you know, he may be a super millionair and loved by millions, but he was a pedo so that makes me better" .. and makes their lifes that little more easier.


holy cow btw, i just started typing their and let my subconsious ramble, sorry for that, but i think in turn ive documented my current thoughts on why people feel this way over jack ... jeloucy is a bit strong a word, but essencialy what i think ive just said.

edit to get on topic - i dont believe in religion, but lately, i have to say, they have been making him out to be some sort of messiah! ... im half expecting to see him on tv on friday!

I fully agree. I was just helping out when you asked what good he did.
He DID do some good with his earnings and fame.
He also did some bad things with his earnings and fame.

He wasn't a saint and he wasn't the devil. He was some where in between.

I have NEVER been to a dance club in my life and heard MJ played... EVER and I promoted clubs for years...

Since the Jackson 5 I have never been anywhere and seen anyone get off their feet and dance and the same goes for most POP

It's POP because it's "catchy" because it sticks in your head, because it's "easy listening"

NO ONE Goes out at night and dances to Brittney or MJ or lol In Sync... EVER

Its actually music that sits you on your rear end in your car, or helps you move a bit when you wake up in the AM or can be played in a MALL

Get up and Dance... NO WAY

I can't even imagine going anywhere and seeing people actually do anything more than a head bob and never had....

The Macerena was also top 40

supposedly LOL there was a dance craze...

ON TV

But I don't recall ever leaving my house and seeing the Macarena done any where...

"who let the dogs out"

This was also very catchy and popular...

been in a ton of movies makes people laugh...

But it's STILL a JOKE, no one ever went out aside from the dork squad and dance to who let the dogs out

What IS Pop Music... what you listen to in your Car?

Who dances in the Car?

I have never seen anyone banging their head away at a stop light to MJ either

Who places these awards? Record companies?

People made the Rosanne show no 1 on TV and the Cosby show too....

Can I compare it to ROOTS?

You can watch Roots a mini series 100 times and see something new... or Gone with the Wind.... just a single Movie...

What was the Cosby show by Comparison?

Or a TV series that had meaning MASH

It was the Jello Pudding guy making funny faces...

It won awards...

You might even say talent was involved but it was MINDLESS on every single level it's not in the same league it can't play in the same ball park...

He wasn't a musical genius... he repeats the same stuff over and over again

and just because MOST people don't have the time and energy to SEEK anything aside what is PLAYED AT THEM on the radio and know him and the one album they bought that year was his... it doesn't make it talented, it doesn't make it GOOD

He doesn't deserve this

and more important

IF

IF he had made a GENUINE contribution to the arts... IF he did anything other than MASS PRODUCE for Radio consumption...

It still wouldn't change that he slept with little boys that children definitively made accusations and were hushed by money...

If he actually wrote a song that had MEANING HIMSELF

If there was SOME Genuine redeeming MESSAGE he gave the world

Maybe... maybe I could say Give him a DAY a single day of mourning

But he didn't ... he didn't even do that he wrote mediocre catchy dance music and took other peoples ideas and never actually composed anything beyond a repetitive beat...

A month almost of this nonsense for what he did? For POP... for the fast food of Music and... and he was a pedophile?

He should be barred by anyone with any genuine sense of decency, his music wasn't good enough to JUSTIFY paying him after what he did...

NO ONES IS

The only thing of redemption he has is having donated to charity

and even then it was a FRACTION of his actual worth...

He spent more on rides and land and other nonsense than he did other people... and I do NOT believe making money requires you to give... but if his life saved lives...

this I will accept as SOMETHING that made his life worth while...

The rest of it is regurgitation

reply to post by LaMano


I understand that you worship the deeds of Michael Jackson. Perhaps your idolization of him was a direct result of media propaganda? The poor/rich guy with the tragic/successful life of overabundance/depravity, secrecy and debauchery, couldn't accept himself for what he was.

I'm sorry, but Anna Nichole Smith's death affected me more. She was one brainwashed CIA puppet. Maybe not, but she was at least as screwed up as Michael Jackson with his masked kids.

Man in the Mirror would be a great tribute song for half the folk on here at A.T.S, i could go on , though we all know the message in the song........

Start with that man in the mirror, and for god sake, stop whinging and make that change !!
