    Michael Jackson

    Well, I just had to make a thread for Michael and his music.

    I thought it might be fun to post songs sung by Michael that are less well known. Lately I've been listening to this beaut. Sort of jazz, R&B.

    I grew up with Michael Jackson's music. He is just a year older than I.
    He was cute as a little boy singing Ben and Rockin Robin.

    Here is what the late, great Frank Sinatra had to say about Michael-

    “The only male singer who I’ve seen besides myself and who’s better than me - that is Michael Jackson.” - Frank Sinatra

    Here is what the late, great Fred Astaire had to say about Michael-
    “Oh, God! That boy moves in a very exceptional way. That’s the greatest dancer of the century”. - Fred Astaire

    “I didn’t want to leave this world without knowing who my descendant was. Thank you Michael!”- Fred Astaire (shortly before his death)

    I agree; there is definitely something indefinable about MJ. Although I'm not sure why you're sorry; I'm not.

    Maybe it's this:

    Excerpts from MJ's HIStory Tour; the music is form Stranger In Moscow written by Michael Jackson.

    Or perhaps this:

    Remember The Time (more well-known, and one of my favs )

    Well, you're certainly entitled to voice your opinion, but perhaps you best avoid this thread if you don't care for MJ and/or his music; this thread is a place for kindness, support, respect and love.

    true - but in actual fact, MJ was a very, very gifted performer, extraordinary (even if I don't like his music per se) unlike, um, er, Ms Brittney Spears who has less talent than a gnu's arse.

    "There is still much more to come from Michael Jackson." - quote by Michael Jackson from a video presented at the 2008 NRJ Awards in Paris earlier this year. (see clip)

    I hope to be able to replace the 'was' in your post with an 'is' someday soon lol This clip gives me hope.

    This thread will be where I will be posting news about MJ's music career. I'm really looking forward to having something to post! When there will be something, I'll be on it. lol

    Britney Spears is a fine-looking woman. I actually enjoy one song that she sings; Toxic. The video is very cool, and I find Spears to be very hot in it. Although I'm not gay. Just sayin'. lol Not surprising that she is popular, looking like she does.

    I don't like every single song MJ ever did, but I do enjoy many of them a lot, and some Jackson 5 tunes as well. I guess being a funk fan helps; I like to groove lol. Although I don't enjoy every funk tune that exists either; I have a few favs.

    Pop/rock/funk etc. music has it's limitations, but basically I enjoy good songs in pretty much any genre. Yep.

    I have already stated my opinions on MJ in another thread on this forum, so I don't feel the need to reiterate. Basically, MJ is fantabulously awesome and incredible as a performer; can't be beat except by maybe some of our fine classical and jazz musicians. And that's just because their music is more complex, and therefore richer. lol

    I am a big, big fan of both the man, and his music. Go Michael!
