its this kinda shit that pisses me off, michael jackson is a musical genius, most musicians would put him ahead of prince in every respect except the ability to actually play instruments. And MJ is way more talented than Bowie, MJ can produce his own music, which bowie has never done.

Bowie/Madonna/Bjork yes
MJ is kinda in a league of his own
then u have ppl like Prince/Sly/Stevie

Why has he yet to even come close to anything resebling a hit in the past decade?

Don't forget the horrendous 'Why' with 3T, that made #2

A few hits there, me thinks. You need to look outside once in a while.

Was a huge fan when I first registered here.. then I gradually woke up.

Rather than believing he's innocent simply because of sketchy families (most people who hang around stars are sketchy, anyway), I now think he was probably guilty. Too much, too many times, and too many people involved, and no amount of technical details about a wacky mother and hick lead DA or butt-kissing articles that "prove" his innocence are going to change that for me.

Remember the days when I used to ramble on trying to convince everybody the "Bad" album was original and underappreciated? I now realize that every album he's done since "Thriller" is overproduced, topically redundant pop rubbish with merely a couple saving graces. Michael Jackson is no musical genius to me: Anybody can write a catchy-ass pop song or produce rough demos with repetitive, simple melodies and lyrics.. he'd hardly be anywhere if it weren't for Quincy Jones' arranging, producing, and musician-selecting prowess and the predictable of-the-moment producers he's chosen since the late '80s that allow him to overcook their sound just because he's obsessed with making his records sound perfect and sell like hotcakes.

He's hardly the greatest performer of all time.. not only is he a shameless, overly rehearsed lip-syncher and old-hat dancer, but since the "Victory" tour with his brothers, he's done almost nothing but feed his audiences the same old cheap, rehashed shit, topped off with some unimpressive pyrotechnics and showy stunts.

And even if he's never laid a hand on a child in his life nor committed anything else inappropriate with them, I still think he's an extremely fucked-up man who's long overdue for therapy. Look at what he's done to himself, surgically.. that isn't the face of a sane man. And I just about pissed myself whenever that thread about how he was telling the truth when he said he's only had two surgeries was made. How does one acquire obvious huge facial changes that just about everybody has noticed over the years, a hideous pixie nose and severe upper lip nerve damage solely from aging and two little nose jobs? And before anybody says that people are being shallow when they dissect his plastic surgery, anybody that gets as much surgery as him in the first place and cares so much about his own looks is the shallow one, not us.

Did I mention his ego? Sure, some fans just LOVE it or don't even notice it, but to me, any man who floats a giant statue of himself down the River of Thames like some lunatic and has a painting of himself in the place of Christ in "The Last Supper" is nothing but a tremendeous, deluded wanker.

Even if his sexuality doesn't matter, I think he's mostly likely gay or bisexual, and if neither of those then at least plagued with major-league identity issues. Generally, normal, healthy heterosexual men don't haplessly parade around wearing nearly every kind of femininine makeup available, nor do they love leather and sequins as much as he does and brush their hair away from their eyes just like a woman.

A good deal (but notice I didn't say ALL) of his hardcore fans are as off-kilter as their idol.. no explanation necessary.

And that's about it. I don't care if I get thrashed for anything I said, either. It's my honest opinion and I'm entitled to it.

Okay, so you like MJ during "thriller". Hey congrats you are in the same boat as THE REST OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD.

I find most of your statements agreeable, but Prince fans calling MJ "weird" is always funny to me. Prince has done a ton of "strange" things.

And some americans wonder why that every country hates them.

You are such a bitch. An ignorant bitch. Look I wish he looked like he did back in the 80s cuz he was pretty damn fine. But things change. U know it's possible that he has a skin disorder..but well can't be true so he lied about how many plastic surguries he had on his nose. Whatever. Get over it. There's nothing anyone can do about it. It's his problem not ours and dwelling on what he looks like isn't gonna change anything. It doesn't make him less of a performer or an entertainer. It's none of our business what he does with his apperance so get over it. I hope Michael moves out of the U.S. and not have to deal with these snotty nose,arrogant, ignorant, judgemental americans. And some americans wonder why that every country hates them.

Who's the ignorant bitch again?
