Um, so he won a lot of awards in the past. He is not, however, the most-awarded artist in history. And this list doesn't really prove your point, right? If you want to support 'MJ's not a has-been', talk about his success now, not a career retrospective.

I didnt start it to discuss mike,,but to ask why them all are locked?

Why don't you PM the mods for your answer?

ok do disscuss aswell. dont worry im pretty sure it will be locked too anyways
[This message was edited Thu Jun 24 6:18:52 2004 by LightOfArt]

BTW, if you look back at the past 6 pages of threads, only one MJ thread has been locked - the superfluous one about his "marriage". So where exactly are these tons of threads that are being shut down?
[This message was edited Thu Jun 24 6:28:07 2004 by VoicesCarry]

nobody said TONS of them...but some other 4 of them were locked...

anyway why does it bother you to give me advices?

and yes he is THE most awarded

Weren't quite a few of them locked because they were stickies and got too big? They were replaced immediately with new ones.

I don't think there's any great conspiracy, LightOfArt - just a need to get shot of some of the superfluous ones.

all im sayin is there are many stupid threads out there but only the mj threads are locked. have you ever seen a thread other than Mj's being locked?

Okay,you wanted to discuus MJ,so here's your chance.Let's see,what shall we discuss? How about...



***The NEW ALBUM---nope,nothing to talk about there

***THE WORLD TOUR---well,his trial will be seen around the world,so does that count?

***THE NEW SINGLE---nope,no single in sight


So what's next? Oh yeah,we can disuss the Jackson Five "reunion" project that probably won't happen until five years from now,if at all.I knew there was something

im not sayin im dying to discuss mj. its just unfair to lock them.coz there were many people writing in even that marriage one

Um, so he won a lot of awards in the past. He is not, however, the most-awarded artist in history. And this list doesn't really prove your point, right? If you want to support 'MJ's not a has-been', talk about his success now, not a career retrospective.

...info...

alot of useless and worthless award
In case you haven't noticed yet...
We live in a day and age where the likes of Eminem, Britney Spears, Limp Biscuit etc. etc. etc. win awards... Now what does that say about awards?
Oh and people who win awards should thank the people who pay for them i.e. their record company, PR people etc...
What I'm trying to say is winning an award doesn't mean you're good or talented it just means you have alot of money and publicity backup...

Neversin.

I was trying to prove that Michael is not a "hasbeen". And those names you mentioned are todays hot stars. so thats what I meant to say. He is NOT a has-been. thanks for backing up

Dude you need to stay in school many more years to decode information correctly, cause he wasn't backing you up...

lol, you need the school. he kinda backed me up without wanting

Neversin said

Sorry LightOfArt - you're ranting.
