Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

All this fuss over a dead singer dancer. Lord knows what it will be like when Elvis dies.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Is this the living dead writing, Sir?

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

While I am impressed by the respect afforded by calling me Sir, I am rather miffed. :huh:

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Can't be bothered reading the thread. Sorry if you've had this:

What's the difference between Farah Fawcett and Michael Jackson?













Farah Fawcett did Majors

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Please dont be displeased, I got used to the 'Monsieur' term here in Montreal:)

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Errr...:rolleyes:

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

I prefer Madame. Though my dad used to say I was a proper little madam.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

I think he is still alive and well and living at times in Canada with Diana Krall.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

That's a relief. Does he still wear those white jumpsuits with the rhinestones?

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Did he do anything freaky with you personally. What do you base your assumption on ?

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Ahem. Jackson had multiple plastic surgeries with the objective of looking like a white Diana Ross. You can't get freakier than that.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

or Elizabeth Taylor!

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

R.I.P. Jacko, hopefully people will remember him for his music and not for the other things!!!!

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

I didn't think his records were very good; formulaic elevator soul. He was entertaining for his antics but I could have done without hearing him.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

er, why should we forget the other things?

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

So we can remember his soul(less) elevator music apparently.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Nobody forced you to listen, IMHO his music was, until recent years, amazing and he will always be remebered for that more than anything else. If it wasn't to your tastes then fine, each to their own, I couldn't care less, I wasn't a huge fan but I appreciate his talent for what it was and I think you'll find yourselves in the minority but like I said thats my opinion.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

I suppose I could always have taken the stairs in his era, even then I think he was pretty much unavoidable. Like Gary Glitter.


I suspect they'll both be remembered for their proclivities longs after the songs are forgotten.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

There's a difference Gary Glitter was convicted and proved to be scum, I don't doubt Jacko was wierd and did things that just weren't right but I don't think he belongs in Glitter's league as to music, I can't honestly remember anything G Glitter did, nobody will mourn his passing as to Jacko just turn the radio or TV on, its all you hear, his music will be rembered forever, just like Elvis wether you want it to or not, sorry but thats the way it is!! ;)

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Every sporting event in North America is played to the sounds of Gary Glitter and Queen. Among nonces Gary Glitter is the Americas' most heard composer. Besides that his name is a synonym for a body part, that ought to put it in common use for a hundred years or so. No one is ever said to "like it up the Michael". Jackson does, of course, deserve to have something named for him, some sort of plastic aid perhaps.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

I honestly don't recall any of his music.

Can you hum a few bars?

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Well being in the UK I don't get to hear whatever that is although I watch the NFL all the time and don't recall it.
As for the other comment you're quite right there, no augument, not the best thing to be famous for though :)

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Or blow a few Bubbles?

Superbowl party album. Featuring Gary Glitter.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

I don't think you can compare the two musically. Glitter was a genius.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

oooh - careful - am getting my pop corn ready

But Glitter was The leader of the gang!

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Bah bah Baaaah Ba...Ba ba ba. (Oy)
Bah bah Baaaah Ba...Ba ba ba. (Oy)

(repeat ad nauseum over arena PA)

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

No wonder he needed all that Demerol.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Jackson was odd, the poor guy never really had a childhood and seemed to be making up for it as an adult. Personally although weird by everyday standards I suspect his interest in children really was innocent. He made some great tunes and videos in his day (some years ago now), but Im not sure how much better humanity is for his presence, he was simply a (very good) entertainer with a gigantic ego ("King of Pop" indeed)

I cant help but think that his death has spared him some blushes over his forthcoming shows...at 50 that was a lot of work to be trying to pull off. Another sad case of the famous becoming divorced from reality (if he ever was in contact with it) and being surrounded by "friends" who were not actually looking out for his best interests.

Were Shakespeare still around I expect he could probably weave some half decent tragedy together from MJs life.


I sort of feel sorry for the life Michael Jacksons early fame and talent pushed him into, Glitter on the other hand was clearly a paedo, although there is probably some background story to that too...

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Glitter's only claim to fame musically was Rock and Roll Part II a very popular piece of arena music until his sexual proclivities became common knowledge.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

No..that was gary glitter:rolleyes: wasnt that who you were refering too:confused:

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

No. It seems Jackson died from an overdose.

Quelle surprise.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

I know MJ was on demerol. No wonder the attending doctor has dissapeared


...you asked for some music to be hummed, remember? Id assumed everyone knew some of Jacksons hits...that was gary glitter..

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Agree totally Iaink... my teenage sons today were saying that those who attain great celebrity are almost all troubled and damaged individuals. MJ was no exception. It's the videos of those early pre-surgery performances (right up to the great Quincy Jones collaborations when he only had his first nose-job) that get me and make me feel so sad for what came afterwards.

The toxicology report will no doubt confirm the much-reported drug addictions. Then we can expect the various children who were paid off to start hawking their stories of sex games and Jesus Juice. But it's not exactly the passing of Jesus Christ here....

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

I'm very unworldly. But honest.

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

Sounds like...

Very eloquent chap aint he? Has a way with words.:sneaky:

Re: Michael Jackson has just died
 

For sure.

To get an idea of the tallent rather than the freak show you could google "Beat it", "Billy Jean" and "Thriller"


....you might want to enable the "safe search" option first;) :ohmy::unsure:
