i would say youre over-rating him just a tad by saying that EVERYTHING he did artistically was perfection. Have you heard some of the dreck he release in the 90s?

Commercially the 80s was his most succesful period with Thriller and Bad.
I must say that I also like the 70s Jackson 5 and Jacksons period and some of his 90s music as well.
Everything after the mid 90s was pretty dire though.

"Nosedived" is an interesting word to use in reference to Michael Jackson...


All joking aside though, I was a fan as a kid in the 80's, no one had moves like him, and 'Bad' was the first cassette tape I ever owned. A tragedy he went out the way he did.

That is funny, sorry but it did make me laugh out loud , I like some of his music but his weirdness was something I could not understand , I suppose saddest of all is the three kids left behind which from reading some articles seem to be seen as money trees by various members of the family, a young death is always sad .......................

What can I say, I couldn't resist the urge when I read that...

What has perhaps been the most interesting thing to observe since his death has been the near total glossing-over (or call it selective memory) the general public has had about all of the strange things about him, from all the surgeries to his truly weird lifestyle, and of course the child abuse allegations. I suppose no one really wants to walk on the man's grave, so to speak, and most simply want to remember him for what made his famous in the first place, which of course was his music. It'll be interesting to see in another few years how people are choosing to remember him, and what things about him will be talked about, and perhaps even if more strange secrets will surface.

nobody took videos seriously until he hired a serious director for thriller spent the money and BAM...he opened the door for music videos to become mini movies etc ..excuse my argument back from pub can be more lucid but you get my drift
