Michael ... where do I start? lol Balcony incident, patches all over his face,
clamping a teenage boy in the eyes of the world, despite the fact that many people consider you a molester and so on ....... + Invincible
Amy ... alcohol + drugs (permanently)

Baited thread only meant to trash the obvious target Jacksons...Worthless.

You're so right smile....

But I can say that I was kinda ashamed about Prince telling Mayte to loose weight after she had the baby or something like that, I dont know how true that rumor was, but still... I read about it some yrs back, but please let me know if this isnt true.

When someone lies about songwriting credits

Kicks girls out the group so they can be in the spotlight

Focuses more on there bad weave jobs than making good music

Acts fake just for the media

Purposely has their pictures lightened to appear lighter on magazine covers

Doesnt claim to be black but has BOTH BLACK parents

Pimps their way through the industry by relying on mediocre trash to stay a float

Doesnt write

CANT dance

Doesnt play an instrument

Does a poor poor rendition of 70s Tina Turner moves and persona

Buys their fake awards

Not creative, original or innovative

Average singer who oversings

I wonder how in the hell anybody would even signed someone like that to a record label instead of putting all that effort into just being a stripper since their dumb as hell anyway biggrin

I also dont know why someone would go to Prince.org when their clearly not a prince fan.. Why not go to that skanks site and stan.. and leave the real music lovers alone with your ignorant bullshit..

^ If i knew that one line set ya off I would've left it. You probably thought I was gonna turn super-saiyan-stan on you what you said about Bey. but...

Ya see, the thing is that around 40-60% of the thangs you said about Bey are true. But I aint interested in any artists personal lives.

They music is what counts to me and I think her music is good so it is what it is. So i'll keep listening B's music, MJ's music (mostly Jackson 5 but still), R.Kelly's music, Prince's music etc. Regardless of what they do or what they have already done to people outside of that or wherever.

You gon' have a nice day. biggrin

Phunkdaddy I put this on everything and I mean EVERYTHING... Not lying or making this up.

A reporter asked Beyonce what race she was and the heffa said she was Creole eek And then afterward 2-3 years later said she wanted to be the first black woman to have an Oscar, golden globe and grammy when Dreamgirls came out confused but then years later claimed she was Creole again nuts She only likes claiming to be black when she benefits from it.

eek eek what exactly has Asher done that warrants all that? damn lol

Asher loves Beyonce, and has said stuff like 4 is a classic and defends Flo Rida & even admits to liking Chris Brown. But most of the time Asher makes me laugh cause he just a damn fool lol he's not trolling. He's just giving his opinion, i have never seen asher attack anyone or try to call people out & see here he wasn't even trying to be rude back to you but just say he likes Beyonce lol

Asher is a funny, quirky dude. He's not trying to troll & he even admited to being an MJ Fan cool He's not causing any trouble.

My blood pressure rose when someone said Prince was horrible.

At that same time I mentioned Prince was getting a Lifetime Achievement Award and this girl, a huge Michael Jackson fan, declared, "Why?"

When I yelled at her I promised myself I would never discuss music in mixed company again. And it took all the willpower I had not to explain the obvious when she mentioned MJ "won" when it came to some stupid arguement about music on that fateful day.

At another time this co-worker wondered out loud if Prince's baby's deformities (she thought the baby was still alive) had something to do with God's way of punishing him for his sinful ways.

She's stupid. I've distanced myself from her.

Another co-worker chastised me when I said D'Angelo was my favorite male singer. I think he mentioned teeny-bopper in reference to D'Angelo. I snapped at him a little.

I used to feel that way. but it's just like.... people have different tastes i will jam to so & so and... if someone else doesn't oh well:P i realize music means a lot to all of us. But it's not like they are insulting people we personally know. So it's silly to let it bother you to the point of not talking to someone or distancing yourself.

Don't get mad at me, but when I was in my early teens, though I would flaunt mj to people who were fans too or appreciated him at least, with others I was so secretive about it, cause I thought my parents would make fun of me though they are the ones who got me into him as a kid from afar, but when it became REALLY LIKE I was trying to stay all calm....but I couldn't hide the excitement smile One time nothing was happening and my mom suddenly started cornering me on loving him so much and trying to say something mean to get a reaction (now I realize) and I got all red cause I wasn't shutting up to my baby sis about how much I loved him and she had said something!!!! But it was also around that time things were quiet with him and I was more into Janet and after people at my new school were a bit mean about him, I felt too sad about being a big fan though I was and just didn't play him everyday for awhile though when I did, it was all good again. Then after my mid teens, though I was still reserved, overtime I was just trying to tell myself to not give a fuck anymore and do what I want, plus I had time and some money to add to my collection, so I bought something for the sake of it and got hooked more and then bought more and continued adding to it. I don't think this even had to do with mj, it had to do with my insecure attitude and getting triggered if people called him gay or weird, cause I was in denial about my own sexuality and being worried people would associate that with me and couldn't take them criticizing him cause it was an attack on me, it was so dumb. Anyways I know I'm bi, and by the time I grew confident and it wasn't cool to be a fan, I performed him for people anyways, they loved it and even remembered me when he passed away and reached out to me and I won't forget it.

I know you're right on all points. But I've also realized that with such diverse opinions concerning music it almost seems pointless to DISCUSS it. It's different on here because we all come in with the general assumption that there will be disagreement and it is just a screen afterall. It's different than someone right in your face with that age old refrain, "That sucks". Boring.

Now the girl with the "I wonder if God was punishing him with a sick baby" inquiry as you've guessed has more issues then just that. But you have to wonder what in the world this person was thinking when they let that come out of their mouth?

But you're right, I don't know Prince.

I feel you on the fact sometimes it's not worth discussing smile

I mean, if someone is not into music & just listens to whatever on the radio and doesn't care about cd's, music theroy or whatever. i'm not going to talk to them about those subjects.

And tons of people i know dislike Prince, Bob Dylan, Fishbone, Zeppelin, Rob Zombie, Pet Shop Boys, Terence Trent D'arby etc. And other artists i dig. And i'm lik eh... i don't think i am going ot change your mind lol even on here when i try to convince them an artist i like is good they have a set mind already no matter what they will suck.

the topic of favorite artists, for which sometimes we can be ashamed. This is not a "hater" theme.
If someone mentions some artist here, it is clear that he considers himself a fan of his. rolleyes

Baited thread only meant to trash the obvious target Jacksons...Worthless.

Not everything in this world revolves around Jackson.
Although since MJ the most popular artist in this section, it will be obvious is often mentioned in this thread, as in any other (positive or negative)

If you are ashamed of anything your fav did then you really shouldnt even be a fan... Ashamed, no.. Disappointed, yes.

when someone beats his wife ... or endangers the life of his child .... or 5 years does not go to the public sober ... no, it's much more than just a disappointment. confused Disappointment - weak song or poor performance.
But music is primary in any case. wink

I try to not get emotionally invested in artists because they are people too and make mistakes. But I let a huge sigh after I read Whitney's toxicology reports. I felt sorry more than anything because Whitney had an aging mother and a grown daughter who really needed her love and support, but for whatever reason she was still getting high. I wonder to this day what pain she was trying to cover by using.

Nobody else comes to mind..
