Printableok speeddemon enough is enough. The MJ crap ends here. Nobody here will see things your way as we do not realize MJ is as almighty and great as you do. He may have won 15 Grammy's but trust me the grammies are a popularity contest. Avril Lavigne was nominated for like 8 Grammies one time and the broad aint got no talent. Thriller's sales are great bt IMO i feel Puple Rain is a more full album. Please let us have our way and you and Liz Taylor can have yours. | |

Sade herself is also a rather mediocre singer. Take away the photogenic babe and she'd be playing in a bar somewhere, know what I mean? Are you kidding me? Sade has a voice like butta...  Mellow, yes... but that's kind of her thing isn't it? | |

I really can't believe you don't see any Prince influence in modern music. That's hilarious. Even Britney (well, the Neptunes, who produced a few of her tracks) is influenced by Prince (ever listened to I'm A Slave 4 U or Boys?) [This message was edited Sat Aug 21 12:41:55 2004 by VoicesCarry] also i'm not an 80's kid...so it would probly be real hard for me to c the difference princes music has made.... also like i have said michael is the king of popular music b it good or bad (2 u altho i do hate beyonce wit a bloody passion so yea that doesn't really compliment michael but everyone doesn't feel like that.) its still popular. I think you need to sit down, turn off the MJ tapes, and listen to some music so you know what you're talking about, and the history behind it. | |

speeddemon said: VoicesCarry said: You can look at it another way: -CREATIVE artists like Bjork are following more in P's path, doin' their own thing and not giving a shit and still making great music -COMMERCIAL artists (ie. shitheads like Usher) are following in MJ's footsteps Now how does that really REFLECT well on MJ? He set the gold standard for pop, and all that's happening is other people are degrading it. P.S. You're saying you REALLY don't hear the astounding influence Prince has had on modern music? [This message was edited Sat Aug 21 12:23:54 2004 by VoicesCarry] Well, a creative artist like Bjork has always expressed her admiration of MJ. She even wore a dress at an award show with Michael's face on it. Ian Brown of the Stone Roses has covered many Jackson's songs. Prince himself said during an interview that Michael was a genius. Alicia Keys sings Never Can Say Goodbye on all of her shows, a song which was previously covered by Isaac Hayes. Even Marvin Gaye covered a MJ song on his 1976's I Want You album. Michael's appeal is exceptionnal as he seems to influence as much cutting-edge artists as commercial ones. Have you heard Ian Browns covers? Man o man they are bad! “If I can shoot rabbits/then I can shoot fascists” | |

 . Maybe they'll even print new editions of The Bible with Jesus giving a shout out to MJ.
 It was not in vain...it was in Minneapolis! | |

I can´t believe this thread is still here...
MJ might be overrated by his fans, but he´s underrated by the general public. Would anyone agree at least with this? "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |
