aw poor little fool, i know it hurts but you'll survive theres plenty of people who like your princy too

Just a casual MJ fan, but I really hope he can give the fans what they want. If not, things are going to get real ugly.

Anyways,welcome back MJ

when did this site turn into a hate michael site

I agree

TheWifey said:

Who knows? There can be healthy discussion of MJ as most posters have done but somewhere along the way, it becomes a pissing contest between MJ fans and Prince fams. I like P much more, but I can't hate on MJ.

His contributions to the pop music world are well known, but I think people are turned off by the MJ hype machine, especially given the fact that he hasn't really released anything noteworthy since Invinceable. It is like a public spectacle is needed by MJ to remind people of who he is versus new music, which drives the fams a little crazy. Some folks still can't get over the "vitiligo" thing or the recent trials and tribulations he has had.

In the end, just enjoy the opinions here. Everyone has one.

COMPUTERBLUE1984 said:

Also some people just like to stir things up and will post constantly inflamatory remarks to just do that. I don't mind people having an opinion on MJ's music as long as they can back it up.

As for the people who delight in a downfall of any artist, and those who especially are hoping MJ fails, cancels, disappoints, etc I just hope that should he succeed, perform and wow that they will be big enough to say well done. I know that if he does disappoint I will be there to give an honest account, but also give credit where credit is due.

I agree
I honestly don't see the point in talking shit. IMO, I'm simply glad he's going back out there.

Swa said:

The best way to handle it is this:
Agreed, everyone has an opinion.

Sorry I'm saving my money for the next Prince tour!!![b]

Yes anyone can learn to play an instrument.
And anyone can draw. And anyone can sing.
But not everyone can do it well.
I played trombone, guitar & piano & sucked at all three.

All i gotta say is...

WELCOME BACK MICHAEL JACKSON!

done.

When rabid MJ fans came here and kept calling Prince fans jealous. Funny how they provoke others and then they play the victims and that "it's so easy to diss MJ".

I don't hate MJ, I like many of his stuff, but many of his fans are going too far on this site.

LiveToTell86 said:

Notice, though, that MJ fans only call Prince fans jealous (ridiculous, I admit) in defense, when Prince fans randomly jump on MJ threads with pointless, often totally unrelated attacks.

I don't see the point in coming to diss MJ even out of jealousy. Prince has 3 new albums out at the end of the month. If you don't like MJ, bask in the Prince material. We ALL love Prince here anyway or we wouldn't be at the Org in the first place.

Surely it's pointless preaching to the converted. Some people may love Prince but love MJ more, but they're here, they pretty much know all the facts and what makes them different.

It's so immature to say that someone is 'jealous' about any of this. There's all this 'comeback' talk when he hasn't yet done a damn thing except wave, say a few words and do some goofy moves that looked totally retarded. That's not jealousy speaking, but reality. I think the difference is the denial factor...those who believe in Peter Pan and those who know it's a fairytale.


There's already a story out today about him wandering the hotel lobby and having to be helped back to his room by security. He's cracking and I don't mean his face. (and yes I realize the source, but since the UK press is apparently blessed when they print positive stories, then ya gotta take the good with the bad.)

By Robert Jobson, 08/03/2009
POP legend Michael Jackson was told to beat it when he turned up in the lobby of his posh hotel looking like a Rockin’ Robin.

Staff thought the melty- faced star looked off his face as he lurched around the Lanesborough Hotel near Hyde Park in the early hours of Wednesday.

He had to be held up by minders and led back to his suite, but friends refused to blame it on the booze—insisting he was simply jet- lagged, unable to sleep and suffering from stage-fright ahead of his big comeback announcement at the O2 Arena on Thursday.

A hotel source said: “Michael shocked us with his behaviour.

“He was wandering around the lobby in the early hours looking completely spaced out.

“The security team had to help him back to his room. It was not what we were expecting at all.

“He was asking staff for DVDs to watch in his room as he was having problems sleeping. I am not sure he knew what time it was.”

The 50-year-old singer — famous for his trademark moonwalk — made a series of frantic calls to his mum Katherine, 79, in the US for reassurance. The source added: “Michael spent the first two days just shut away in his suite, trying to get his head around his comeback.

“But it was clear he was quite nervous about the whole thing.

“He had a series of long chats with his mum, seeking assurances that everything was fine. Even though he is 50, he seemed to need his mum’s words to keep him focused.”

Jacko also declared he wanted to make his peace with Paul McCartney. The pair fell out when Jacko outbid him for the rights to the Beatles songs.

The source added: “He was asking for Sir Paul’s number, but nothing came of it.”

Jacko, who went to see the hit musical Oliver on Friday, stayed in the top floor of the Lanesborough in a £7,500-a-night suite along with his guards, four kids and their nannies

He is hoping to break Prince’s 21-night record for the most consecutive gigs at the 02 and has confirmed 10 shows in July, with others expected to be announced soon.

A source said: “Michael is determined to prove he can still do it.”

And 350,000 fans who have registered to buy tickets clearly think they’ve Got To Be There to see it.

never thought to see the day i had something positive to discuss on regards of michael i hope he does the very best he can

Serena said:

They have printed positive stories? Really? The most I've seen them do so far is recount what actually happened ('Jackson showed up 1.5 hours late, made nonsensical speech, fans screamed and then he left'). Care to point me towards one of these fantastic stories?

Annika said:

Actually, no, I can't. I was referring to some of the people who've been touting all the awesome press he's been getting. I'd said before that it wouldn't be long before they started their 'scandalous' stories.

Jeesh the guy couldn't sleep & he went down to the front desk & then he couldn't find his way back to his room. Who hasn't had the same thing happen! As long as he makes good on his concert commitments then he can wander around the hotel lobby every night as far as I'm concerned.
How wacko he is is a given these days so the big question is can he pull off the shows. The press just wants make sure if he fails they are there to cover ever little mistake.

Ellie said:

then why don't you go back to the prince forum

cdcgold said:

Dude, you've been here since October, posting in an MJ forum on a PRINCE site. If you have no interest in Prince, why don't you hang out on the [probably] friendlier MJ boards? There aren't any rules that say anyone is restricted to certain forums and we sure as hell aren't going to take instructions from some n00b.

Serena said:

yada yada we get it you think think mj fans are crazy, whatever but what reality are you talking about, i think it's YOU that can't face reality that mj's doing this. what proof do you have that he won't do good, the msg concert he last did, that was 8 YEARS ago that proves nothing, you know what someone can do in 8 YEARS. who knows all this time Mj hsan't been doing anything his voice may have gotten a well needed rest and might me in better shape than it used to be. you are so pathetic, You WANT him to FAIL you don't know whats going to happen. you are just jealous. I cant wait to these concerts when you people end up looking pitiful and dumb. and your little article is CRAP

Serena said:

I agree, coming here and tell everyone how MJ is God and is gonna have the biggest comeback of 2008 without discussing ANYTHING ELSE here is pathetic.

cdcgold said:

Erm, I've been a member of this site for 7 years. In fact the whole of the last 18 months I've barely posted in the the Non-Prince forums at all unless to respond to random things occasionally.

Serena said:

let me give you some advice, a way you can always tell when an article is crap is when it says, " a source says", "sources say", "insiders say" ," friends say" ect. when they say a "source' but don't name the source specifically it's crap, that is just a clever way for the media to spread rumors as fact. taht is the main difference between tabloid media and real media, tabloid journalist will never name their mystery source because there is none, and if they don't name it they don't have to prove it.

cdcgold said:

To my understanding, I believe what she/he is saying is why not enjoy the best of both worlds here. It's your love or like for Prince that brought you here in the first place and his website has diverse issues to talk about.

angel345 said:

That's exactly what I was saying. Geez, I never thought any post I'd make here could ever be construed as anti-MJ. I mean ME? He's my all time favourite artist with Prince a close second. What's the problem coming here?
