Oh f... you! I know it's a bit off-topic, but I’m so sick and tired of people diminishing his impact as a songwriter! Of the roughly 130 songs he has released in his adult career (I'm counting CBS/Sony stuff only) he is either a writer or co-writer on about 95 songs and of those songs he has written about 40 completely on his own! And those are only the songs which have been released (also not included are songs he has written for others)!

Beat It (Jackson) - became a hit 6. Billie Jean (Jackson) - became a hit 7. Human Nature (Bettis/Porcaro) - became a hit 8. P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) (Ingram/Jones) 9.

midnightmover said: Here's where Madonna's phenomenal luck came into play. She herself describes this period as "an all time low". Both professionally and personally she felt completely burned out and thought about quitting. She told Rupert Everett "I asked myself, what am I doing this for? It's such hard work". Then fate intervened. Evita came along. They'd been trying to make this film for 30 years and the elements had never come together. Now finally, it was going to happen and the timing could not have been more perfect for Madonna. On a personal level, it gave her an escape from herself, becoming this other icon for a year. Plus the fact that the role so eerily and spookily echoed her own life meant she was a natural to get the part even though she can't act. The fact that there was no spoken dialogue was also a blessing for her as it meant her acting deficiencies would be less obvious (though they're still plain to see if you're looking ). It was already known as an incredibly succesful play so it was always going to be a hit. This meant Madonna was able to rid herself of the stigma that had hovered over her since Sex. It also smoothed her transition into middle age and "respectability" which was another issue she was having to think about at the time. In short, it was a god send. Without it her life and career would have gone very differently. Janet Jackson must have wished for a similar godsend after nipplegate and Damita Jo. Sadly, the gods have not been so kind in her case.
Well, she just did a movie called "Why did I get married?"! Maybe (hopefully) that will be Janet's godsend! But other than that I agree with your assesement about Madonna! You could really watch the transition back in 1996 and you forgot to add that she also became a mother for the first time! So that really helped with her transition! | |

Nobody has ever questionned MJ talent. They question his private life and the way he managed his career. This is what MJ is knowing for in the first place. If he died tomorrow, this is how people will remember him. BUT MADONNA ? Madonna is only known for selling a lot of records based on scandals and image NOT ON GREAT MUSIC OR TALENT. Madonna will always be seen as a talentless artist who happens to sell based on image/scanals/controversies. Don't forget that Madonna was supposed to be a one hit wonders in 80's. But she's a mart girl, she knew her talent would lead her nowhere, and understood that image and scadals SELL . SoulAlive said: Meanwhile,Madonna continues to grow and evolve.She's still doing amazing things with her career.In this decade alone,she's done three world tours that have grossed over $460 million.She's preparing another album and tour as we speak.I really don't care about "who's more talented".Go ahead and waste your time,arguing that Michael is more talented.The next time he gets accused of molesting a kid,go to the courthouse and try to make that argument.You will see that no one cares anymore. LOL MJ's talent will always be more relevant than Madonna's talent. ALWAYS. And Madonna has never been relevant artistically and musically in the first place. This is something you have to understand. MJ will always be regarded as a great artist no matter what happened in his life, He definitely made a BIGGER impact in music. But no doubt about it, nobody can't touch Madonna in terms of management, marketing and promotion. She's a business woman before being an artist, MJ is an artist first. Just because she still sells records doesn't make her more relevant musically and artistically. LOL And the fact that you need to bring accusations of molestation shows that how you lack arguments... my friend. I know it's hard for you to understand but despite all the controversies and mistakes MJ made in his career, MJ is still more respected than Madonna would never be . Madonna can still sell records and touring . She WILL NEVER BE CONSIDERED AS A GREAT ARTIST. NEVER EVER. And please stop talking about she grows and evolves, she always doing the same pop shit for the past 20 years. What you call evolving is making more scandals and changing styles. Musically and artistically she is the same pop artist making the same pop shit. Madonna can pretend to play guitar, NOBODY TAKES HER MUSIC SERIOULSY. She definitely the most overrated artist ever. She just an fashion icon more than anthing else. A One hit wonders that realized that she could still selling based on image. And I love how you say "I really don't care about "who's more talented", of course you don't want top care because YOU KNOW THAT MJ SHITS ALL OVER MADONNA. And like most Madonna fans, talent is not what matters to you... LOL If Michael is sooooo talented and sooooo gifted,how come he currently doesn't even have a record deal?  Why aren't the big record labels going out of their way to sign him to a new deal? Why isn't LiveNation knocking on his door to offer him a $180 million recording contract (which they are offering to Madonna)? Why do we keep hearing story after story of his financial problems and lawsuits for not paying his bills? If he didn't own that Beatles catalog,he would probably be bankrupt right now.The sad truth is,his talent is irrelevent.He has destroyed his career to the point where nobody cares about his "talent" anymore.I posted that mug shot to illustrate where his career is these days.No one's talking about his music,his singing,or his production/songwriting skills.No,those things don't matter anymore.Regardless of what you think about Madonna,she is still in the game.Michael isn't.You think Madonna is a no-talent joke,but guess who's laughing all the way to the bank?
Madonna and Prince are still recording,still releasing new music,and still touring.In other words,they're still focused on their art.Can you honestly say that this is the case with Michael too? [Edited 9/1/07 9:34am] | |

[Edited 9/1/07 9:32am] SoulAlive: give it up. This debate has been going on for far too long. I think we have ALREADY established that both Madonna and Michael Jackson are not desperate for a hit. Madonna, because she will have a blockbuster album and tour regardless of how she charts in the US. Michael, because he does not seem to be desperate to release ANYTHING ANYTIME SOON. Before you know, krayzie will be here, again writing that Madonna is a "garbage, talentless artist," and you will respond again with the Michael Jackson mugshot... It is a vicious cycle that needs to end. | |

I hope you will understand this time. That's why Madonna is still there making and selling crap albums and doing crap concerts. Evereybody knows Madonna sucks and has no talent to save her life. She has never been relevant artistically and musically in the first place and never will be.

I haven't heard of many of the songs you describe as hits. You have heard about charts, right?? The "became a hit" wasn't added by me though! It was already there... but in most cases the songs went Top 10 in the US, the UK or other countries! But what do you want to say anyway, that you have little knowledge of music, don't know the songs and they haven't been hits? I wanted to add the chartpositions, but just by adding chartpositions for "You rock my world" I noticed that that is way too much work: 6. You Rock My World (Jackson/Jerkins/Jerkins/Daniels/Payne) - became a hit (US #10/UK #2/Aus #4/Brazil #1/Canada #2/Denmark #2/Finland #1/France #1/Germany #6/Switzerland #5/Austria #9/Italy #3/Norway #2/Netherlands #2/Spain #1/Europe #1/Sri Lanka #1/Taiwan #1) For the rest, if you don't believe me, may I refer you to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/w...iscography There is a pretty good listing of all solo songs!

Man you MJ fanatics have some fucking attitude - ask a question & instantly you go into belittling & sarcasm. Why bother responding to your dumb ass response when its just MJ fans farts. You have heard of farts? | |

I haven't heard of many of the songs you describe as hits. meaning it did well on the charts, what song haven't you heard "we make our heroes in America only to destroy them" | |

The main point of the list was not to denote which tracks had become hits when released as singles, but to show which songs Michael Jackson had written or co-written. I suggest you click on the wikipedia link PatrickS77 has provided and see the chart positions of each single.
On a final note: I apologize again avasdad for hijacking your thread. I am aware that the moderator gave this thread a warning for veering off topic.... [Edited 9/2/07 5:47am] | |

Looking over the list, the only one which shouldn't be classified as "became a hit" is Why you wanna trip on me? as it never was a single! And maybe Speed demon which only had a limited release in certain territories! | |

If that's the "image complex" thread, then I thought it was just starting to get somwhere when they locked it. Even though some were trying to derail it by posting lengthy unnecesary posts, I felt like some of the core issues were beginning to come into view. All they needed to do was snip the offending comments, and warn everyone to try and keep things civil.

Yes. But the fact that people were calling each other names needed to be reported to the moderators. You are right that calling each other "retard" and "zealot" does not help the discussion at all. | |

I think the fact that you end your sentences with an exclamation point contributes to the perception that you are full of anger. | |

Like you said! I use exclamation points! It's personal choice... it has nothing to do with anger! | |

In everyday life, do you ever find people stepping back a little bit when you talk to them? “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Huh? Don't quite understand that question! I don't use exclamation points when I talk!  And that's off-topic anyway! | |
