Prince is one bad MF, and those 2 situations prove it. | |

He can't even perform anymore, yet he can go to award shows to collect silly awards and soack yup the hysteria that naive, deluded fans throw at him. Infact I think his brothers have moved on even better than he has, no one is going hysterical over them, but they are not being called "flops" either and they look 10 times more healthier and better looking he does, even though apart from Randy they are all older than him. You're as boring and repetitive as the last three Janet albums. like micheal fans can really diss janet....if i had a choice between making boring albums and talking about sex or looking like walking death and being viewed by many as a sexual predator i would rather be janet. | |

dustysgirl said: meow85 said: Yes, they do exist. And yes, it is possible to change skin formerly as dark as Michael's into the shade he's got now. But it's illegal -at least in this country -to prescribe that much for any reason. Even if he truly does have vitiligo, he would still need bleaching agents, because it does not affect that much of the skin, even in extreme cases. In which case, he would have had to have gone to several doctors or forged precriptions to get the required amount to match the patches without melanin.
Just thought I'd clear that up.  Yes, I saw a show on this recently that took place somewhere in Africa, I think. Many dark skinned women were buying these bleaching agents because they thought they were too dark, and wouldn't ever be able to find a husband with their dark skin. But the bleaching agents had terrible chemicals in them, that were ending up disfiguring their faces. Some groups over there are trying to create public awareness about their dangers and trying to tell women that dark skin is as beautiful as light skin. My 9 year old daughter saw the Billie Jean video the other day, and said, "That's Michael Jackson?????" She had no idea he was black.  It's so sad that people can't be happy with what they have. Michael used to be a pretty good-looking guy. Cute, even.
The problem with skin lighteners is that in most countries the production of them is not very strictly regulated, so they've got all sorts of dangerous -even cancer causing -chemicals in them. And they're not permanent. Any exposure to sunlight can cause the skin's natural melanin to re-grow. So as far as Michael goes, the possibility of skin cancer and the guarantee of getting some his natural darkness back are probably what's been keeping him out of the sun, and not some unspecified "sun allergy".  @ the Billie Jean thing. I've got a buddy who's only just turned 18, and while he knew Michael is(was?) black, he'd never seen what he used to look like before I showed him the cover of Off the Wall.[Edited 11/17/06 20:10pm] "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

The reason why I can't get over his looks is because I vividly remember him looking like the above. I mean compare yesterdays picture with the above and it's two different people and hasn't got much to do with age either; one pic looks all brown and warm and the other pic looks like something out of a vampire film, and yet is suppose to be the same person. Do people really expect that to be overlook, when its all part of his image. The only peeps that thinks he looks "so fine" are his pyscho fans, who probably hardly know anything about Michael pre-Thriller. Secondly, even with a couple of nose Jobs there is no way MJ should end up looking like how he does today. Compared to 2001 he looks better now, but he still looks bloody awful. AMEN!    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Such as when he did the Webby awards per4mance, he was forgetting the words to "Dont Play Me" plus his voice was messing up when he sang at the "BRITS" awards. Chaka, herself, doenst sound too good anymore neither. I think it all has to do with age , as far as how u sound.
Age sure has it's part to play, though I disagree with you about Prince, he sounded better vocally than I have ever heard him on the ONA tour for instance, a very clear voice and no breaking up. I've not heard a very clear recording of the Webby performance, it was only recorded by bloggers digi-cams, so I don't think you can assess that one perfectly, it was a very loose, impromptu-type performance of a song he rarely plays, so I think he can be forgiven. He showed them all where to go, for instance, on the AI performance, and I can't hear his voice messing up on the Brits performance, he sounded great I thought... MJ never used to have to lip-synch back in the day, as I've said before, I saw the Bad tour and it was live all the way and magnificient, I didn't miss his brothers at all. But towards the end of the 90s he certainly started relying on lip-synching, and he doesn't even do anywhere near as many concerts as Prince so there's no excuse of over-stretching his voice (other than, I suppose, he started out too early as a kid). Some say breathing through his reduced nose could be a problem, certainly his later records sound very nasal in places. I definately wish he would do a live concert that was just him singing without relying on the whole spectacle of dancing and special effects, that would be cool, because he still has a charasmatic singing voice. One of my favourite tracks of his from the 90s is Give In To Me, it is one of the very few songs where he omits all the usual tics, hics, and whoos and just sings the song straight. I'd like to hear more in that plain, honest vein. | |

He looks sooooo beautiful!!!!! He looks healthier than he has in ages. If folk can't see that then they never will simply because their hatred for the man won't allow it. I agree that Michael DOES look GREAT!. He looks confident, happy and healthy. His outfit is classy and he looks wonderful in that suit. All the people hating on him would do it regardless of if he didn't have the "white skin" aka vitiligo or he was brown again. People need to get over that shit about him going back to being "black". He IS black, albeit with vitiligo. Give that crap up, because he can never go back to being the color that he was. I am so sick of people using THAT as an EXCUSE to hate on the man. Again, Michael looks wonderful. The lights from the cameras emphasize this vitiligo in the still photos. When I watched live footage, he looks much different or not as colorless. I want to repeat that he looks GREAT! [Edited 11/19/06 1:49am] | |

Btw, the British press is pure shit. What a bunch of morons. Do they live to tear this man down? Of course, the American tabloid media is not much better. These "journalists" are an embarrassment to the profession of journalism. The fact that Michael is looking so healthy, confident and great after all that he has been through is testamnt to his determination, strength and resolve. I couldn't respect, support and love the man anymore than I do right now. I am more than proud to be his FAN. | |

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/h...155968.stm [Edited 11/17/06 2:13am] I don't believe that for a moment. According to WMA organizers "not a single request has been made for a refund." This article sounds like all of the rest of the bullshit coming from these pathetic British tabloids. They will say anything and gullible people will eat it up. Btw, there were infiltrators posing as fans who bought tickets. Again, I don't believe any fan has demanded a refund. From what I have read from fan reports, they were very pleased with MJ's appearance on stage. Seriously, you can't believe anything that these tabloids are saying. | |

playme3121 said: ElectricBlue said: Yet more proof of why he lip syncs 99% of the time. When the mic is turned on it always sounds like this like total crap! Listen to him at the American Music Awards in 1988, he turned his mic on & it sounded like shit. Listen to him doing "Human Nature" in the Dangerous tour which is on VH1 allot. He sounded like total shit. Face it you dont lip sync basically all the time if your not trying to hide something! The something is He Cant Sing! He is at best a studio musician. He needs to do 50 takes for each verse, if anything sounds decent, they keep it & then (copy & paste) from that point forward. When you listen back it sounds like he did it all in one take! WE all know Recording Business now, it isnt some amazing process anymore to the public. But they have been doing this forever. So has Michael.
Michael's ego is so big he would put his own name in Google. http://news.google.com/ne...earch+News Look at everyones opinion. They all know he cant sing. He knows it too! If can really sing, then we will all see in his Next Performance,him singing 100% live, no tricks, nothing. He knows it. We know it. Now it is time to prove everyone wrong. psssst... He wont!  He will lip sync yet again. If he could really sing this is the time to prove it Mr. Milli Vinilli of 2007 (or should I say since you have been Solo)
He knows now, Turn the mic on and prove you should be watch outside of your sexual behavior and the trainwreck factor. [Edited 11/16/06 14:44pm] i admit MJ does lip synch most if not all the time.

[Edited 11/16/06 14:50pm] The problem is not that Michael can't sing-he can; it's that his voice is not the same as it was. Michael's voice is now rawer and deeper. Of course, some fans(newer) and non-fans can't ACCEPT that fact. I think that is the reason that Michael thinks that he needs to use backing tapes to appease the fans who want him to sound like he did 20 years ago. I say $#%^ anyone who can't accept the way that his voice has matured. Anyone who hasn't noticed how Michael's speaking voice is much different than it was years ago is naive. Since Michael as always been a perfectionist, he wants everything to sound perfect. Prince's voice is not as clear as it used to be. It is getting raspy and he is not hitting the notes that he used to during his live appearances. Of course, no one talks about it, because he has never been known as a vocalist, and the media is not going to dissect everything nuanace that he does, as they do Michael. The amount of pressure that is put on Michael is not only unfair, it is unprecedented. NO ONE should have to live up to he expectations that his fans, detractors, media and public put upon him. I really don't know how he handles the pressure. Any other artist would have committed suicide by now, with a tenth of what he has to go through. This man's strength is astounding. | |

The so-called non-fans you talk of know more about Michael than the so-called hard-core fans. Most of the hard-core fans have been fans since the days of Dangerous or Bad, now, although that may seem like a long time ago, that is still quite recent, considering Michael has been around for almost 40 years. There are many peeps that were fans back in the days of J5, but are no longer fans now. Infact it is that kind of ex-fan or non-fan that questions everything, because they remember how he once was in every aspect. Newer fans or fans from the Bad/Dangerous/History era rarely question anything MJ does or they simply blame all his woes on the media, as if to say the media told him to butcher his face and wear awful wigs and have sleep overs with pre-teen children
As for his voice, it is obviously not going to sound as it did when he was 11 or 21 even, no one expects that. But what I do know is that Michael doesn't utilized his voice has he once did. From the Dangerous tours onwards the miming became more pronounce. And unlike when he was with his brothers, where he use to tour more and at the same time appear on so much more live appearances, as well as make alot more albums, he doesn't do all those things on a consistent basis anymore, therefore it's not surprising his voice has deteriate; when you don't use something often enough you lose it, be it a skill you once had or a part of a body. Age has very little to do with it, considering he had virtually stopped using his voice live since his mid-30s. [Edited 11/19/06 2:35am] [Edited 11/19/06 3:41am] | |

Age has very little to do with it, considering he had virtually stopped using his voice live since his mid-30s. See, there is something to what you say. I am also shocked sometimes at how much some "non-fans" over here know about him. Maybe the problem with us, the younger ones, is that we are used to that "new, weird" Michael. We have never experienced another one. That´s the "normal" MJ to us. Maybe that´s why it is easier for us to get over his looks and weirdness than for the older ones, for whom MJ once was the PERFECT kid with nothing to complain about. He was it!! And than when some "mistakes" appeared, they didn´t like that and wanted back the old "perfect" MJ. That´s why Mike will never be what he used to be - for them. That´s why they say he´s over. Because being an MJ fan was so easy back then. EVERYONE loved him. Noone had anything bad to say about him. Nowadays being an MJ fan is REALLY hard sometimes. Because as "perfect" as Mj used to be as "bad" he is now. Nowadays ppl see nothing positive in him. "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." | |

But I think that last night was a missed opportunity that could have won him some respect and time to get himself truly back on track. yeah, I know what you mean. But he probably didn´t feel ready 100%. So if he performed and was not THE BEST ever he would be criticed and ppl would say he´s lost it. He´s over. So I think Mike is more able to bear criticism for not performing than for giving a bad performance....

MJ can do it but he has to be motivated.
If you look at his heroes Jackie Wilson, Sammy, Sinatra, Astaire. They all performed until their end while giving it all they had. I don't know if you remember when Sammy got up and danced with Gregory Hines at his tribute when he could hardly talk but that was mindblowing. It shows when you know something and you got it even illness or time can't take away years of experience. Maybe MJ feels like since he has been performing since he was (six?) he is tired of doing all that work. And of course he doesn't need the money. But he could be doing historical performances like Prince. Prince may be a little older or he may be toning things down because of his Spiritually but we'll always go see Prince because he is a great performer/musician and he's always going to give us what we don't expect (or want) BUT you'll never say you got a bull**** show. (Not counting movies here.) Go to the tube and type in the vibe show. You'll call a band rehersal the next morning.

Through it all, I have never felt any different about him. I still love his music, I still support and respect him as much now as I ever did. I am able to look past the rumors and bullshit. I know the man's music-inside and out. I have studied the MAN and know not to believe the crap the media perpetuates. I am able to look past his changing appearance and look at his music,his soul, his message in his music and the wonderful contribution and influence that he has had on the music industry as a whole.Even detractors can't deny what this man has contributed to music and the industry. If they do, then they would be liars. It is my opinion that he is the most influential entertainer/artist/musician of our time. He influenced people when he was the lead singer of the J5 and STILL influences every new singer that comes out today. I know that people will disagree, that's fine. It won't change my opinion.People are entitled to their opinions. I have no problem defending my belief or opinion. [Edited 11/19/06 12:44pm] | |

Strange how the haters have turned this thread into a thread about Michael's looks. I guess that's what happens when it has been PROVEN that Michael was NOT booed at the WMA's. Not only did all of the footage and videos that I have seen on YouTube, CNN,MTV and other outlets prove that there was no booing,it also proved that the audience was totally in love with Michael. The reception that he received was truly remarkable. This also confirms that the media are liars and will do anything to manipulate the truth. The problem is that it is going to backfire on THEM. | |

Most of the hard-core fans have been fans since the days of Dangerous or Bad, now, although that may seem like a long time ago, that is still quite recent, considering Michael has been around for almost 40 years.
There are many peeps that were fans back in the days of J5, but are no longer fans now. Infact it is that kind of ex-fan or non-fan that questions everything, because they remember how he once was in every aspect. Newer fans or fans from the Bad/Dangerous/History era rarely question anything MJ does or they simply blame all his woes on the media, as if to say the media told him to butcher his face and wear awful wigs and have sleep overs with pre-teen children As for his voice, it is obviously not going to sound as it did when he was 11 or 21 even, no one expects that. But what I do know is that Michael doesn't utilized his voice has he once did. From the Dangerous tours onwards the miming became more pronounce. And unlike when he was with his brothers, where he use to tour more and at the same time appear on so much more live appearances, as well as make alot more albums, he doesn't do all those things on a consistent basis anymore, therefore it's not surprising his voice has deteriate; when you don't use something often enough you lose it, be it a skill you once had or a part of a body. Age has very little to do with it, considering he had virtually stopped using his voice live since his mid-30s. See, there is something to what you say. I am also shocked sometimes at how much some "non-fans" over here know about him. Maybe the problem with us, the younger ones, is that we are used to that "new, weird" Michael. We have never experienced another one. That´s the "normal" MJ to us. Maybe that´s why it is easier for us to get over his looks and weirdness than for the older ones, for whom MJ once was the PERFECT kid with nothing to complain about. He was it!! And than when some "mistakes" appeared, they didn´t like that and wanted back the old "perfect" MJ. That´s why Mike will never be what he used to be - for them. That´s why they say he´s over. Because being an MJ fan was so easy back then. EVERYONE loved him. Noone had anything bad to say about him. Nowadays being an MJ fan is REALLY hard sometimes. Because as "perfect" as Mj used to be as "bad" he is now. Nowadays ppl see nothing positive in him. i kinda think that bolded part above has a lot 2 do with the 'he looks great' comments  cuz to me personally he looks like death warmed over...twice.....he used ta be fine back in tha day!!due to the content i suggest you like this... | |
