A lot of 2000's movies have used some MJ tunes or impersonator. Scary movie, 13 going on 30, some lizard commercial, practically any Corey Feldman flick. Maybe even a cameo in some space joint. and just like r. kelly, jerry lee lewis, rick james, and a myriad of others waiting on MJ's trial was a bit upsetting.
40+ years entertaining. you ain't gonna see too many 60 year olds beating LoLo Jones in the 50 yard dash. At least not until they make vagra for sprinters. MJ was a pioneer and stars from rap to metal all over the world have respect for him as that. I say cut the guy some slack. you can't sport a pair of parachute pants and not give solid props to the guy who invented the zipper.

Personal frustrations? I don't think so.
They made a huge commotion over a man who sings music...music.
Wow, 5 other famous people passed away and all of them combined didn't produce as much hoopla as he did.
Your making a big deal out of nothing.
Amen! That's pretty large.

The only frustrations I perceive belong to the people who are sick of some dude who danced around on stage with a really high voice being raised to the status of a god.
I listened to MJ songs all week, my GF is still watching his live performances on YouTube. I have no problem with that, that is a natural reaction if you enjoyed the guys music. Its the complete and utter swooning that bothers me, the tears, the week long memorials, the days off (I know of people who took time off to watch), the fact that some in congress wanted to pass some kind of statute about the fucking guy, the fact that now he's the greatest thing since sliced bread while a week ago nobody could care less about a guy who dangled his kid off a balcony or slept with little boys (and up until last week that is all people thought of him...there was no mention of king of pop or whatever).
Bottom line, if someone feels the guy really affected their personal life so much, they really need to get out more.

No doubt he was a top performer, and he influenced Spears, Usher and a lot others.
It's the people that I know and other celebs that I know who made fun of his wackiness and even deserted him when he had his issues that are now making him a god.
How can we, they keep shoving his life down our throats, the TV, the radio, the newspapers and even here.
He was a great performer...not a saint.
I'm sure that's true... We are in very different parts of the world. I am much more likely to hear the Beatles here than MJ. In fact, I am more likely to hear Pixies or the Smiths than MJ.
Here he is just considered to be "Wacko Jacko" from the 80s... nobody cares
I think those of us who are speaking out against his popularity are just fed up with how shallow the rest of the world seems to be becoming in each passing year as more meaningless TV invades the collective mind of our species. The media is feeding us Junk Food for the brain and it's dumbing us down. At times I feel like we are slipping into another sort of Dark Age and we are saying "Rage, rage against the dying of the light!"
lol... yup he obviously influenced a bunch of other sub-par musicians who took music and made a mockery out of it.
For people like MJ, it was more about dancing and flashy image than it was about the music. The music was just kind of secondary to the whole act.... like a afterthought.
I guess I just prefer real musicians.
I agree, there are people who sing and have better songs than him. From his genre.
I have a feeling 100 years from now he's going to be in the same group as bach, handel, hendrix, and joplin
I wouldn'tgo that far.
I think once his ex-accusers grow a little older the truth will come out about him, then we'll be able to speculate on his legendary status, I don't foresee his music ranking in the area of genius that Bach, Handel, Monk, Coltrane, Hendrix, Sun Ra, Zappa, Floyd are in, maybe as far as Top of the Pop Chart Collections with his contemporaries he will last but those guys are a whole other level of musical composition, they were composers above all else, they performed great too but they had true talent in building music......
None of them as respected and loved as MJ. Btw as for lyrics how many of the songs are actually written by the artist?
Yea, personal frustrations because if they really didn't give a fuck they wouldn't post here
i think he surpassed hendrix
it's meaningless to YOU. This is what I mean by personal frustrations. this elitist view of yours sucks. These people being 'dumbed down' are what keep the world revolving. I want to know what you have got on these people.
Just because you arent part of the majority doesn't mean you have to hate. Sheesh
Music isn't about technicality and whatnot. Sure they did what they did well. It just didn't sound as good to most people as what MJ's music did, and if you come down to the core, music is all about how it sounds, not how it was made etc
Personnal, nope. I never met Micheal Jackson so I can't say he touched me, so there's nothing personal about it.None of them as respected and loved as MJ. Btw as for lyrics how many of the songs are actually written by the artist?

You really are showing your age if you think MJ was the best ever...but then again look at the singers today...I forgive you child for your taste in music is clouded by Boy George and the Back Street Boys.
As a preformer maybe, he danced better.
Again, he doesn't hold a candle to Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass nor Marvin Gaye.
It's not hate, it's a difference of opinion which you seem to take very seriously.
Sheesh, he wasn't that great now.
okay.... that makes sense because his songs are 30-40 years old! i dont see your point
mmm cant really say they did much, what do you mean he cant compare to them??
it's down to personal preference.
to be honest.
i dont like them, never have done. But if one of them died, i would go saying they didnt do this, they didnt do that, even though they actually didnt much for music if MJ didnt either.
True, I liked his music but that was years ago. Now I would never be cuaght listening to it on my car stereo cruising down the streets of NY.
You know who they say was really good too...James Brown kid.
If you look at the way James Brown moves you'll notice MJ copied a few moves.
But the way you blindly defend him....it's sounds like you idolize him and in the lords eyes you have sinned.
I guess you'll be keeping MJ company in hell.
What folks like me and the like have is the ability to look past the bullshit and not be easily swayed by the sensory overload that is the Mass Marketing Media, the millions of ads telling everyone what to buy, what they need to own to be in the in crowd, who they should be listening to, what movie they just have to watch......I know too many people caught in this trap, I take it as my duty to help snap people out of these trances, it's like seeing peoples minds shackled all being lead to the next big thing, there is such a concept mental slavery......I see myself as an abolitionist.......
