Cant believe there isnt a thread on this guy, however he is these days, you cant forget the music he has made - i love it

I was at my aunts reception in a tiny cafe on saturday, all they had on was MJ songs, which promted me to get my albums out when i got home and listen to Michael

Michael had some cool music vids to his songs, i recently just watched the music vid Remember The Time which had Eddie Murphy in it


Who else is a MJ fan?, what is your fave album and song?

yes i am a fan, he is a true musical icon, was watching the dangerous tour last nyt actually, he has got to be the greatest dancer and performer out there, hopefully he will perform this year!!

my fav song, can't really pick one, so many to choose from!, i really love "i can't help it", i think its very underrated. the voice is incredible on it!.


its obvious though, that this thread is gonna turn into nothing more that haters speakin bout the plastic surgery etc..

It would be nice to see him come up with another album of the quality of Thriller. I can't really see it happening though.

My favourites are: PYT, Rock with you, Don't stop 'till you get enough, Human nature and Wanna be startin' something.

I LOVE Michael Jackson. Forgetting all of the crap about his personal life, his music is legendary!!!

I have so many favourite Michael Jackson songs - from Thriller to Smooth Criminal to The Way You Make Me Feel. But my absolute favourite has to be Billie Jean - from the lyrics to the music to the vocals, it is flawless!!

I would love to see Michael release another album.

Btw, great thread you have started Lennie.

Oh yes, how can you forget Off The Wall album!! TBF, all of MJ's albums have been brilliant!

Reading this thread, it's made me go back and listen to some of MJ's songs. I am listening to Bad right now.

Me too, went to youtube - saw his music vids lol

I use to love Black and White coz of the faces that change at the end lol

Some of his songs have some kind of story - like Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean, Dirty Diana etc

I am a Huge fan of Michael's, In fact at one point In my life I think I was Obsessed with him, I have been to see his concerts and have all his videos ( as was then )

I have learned to appreciate other artists now as well but for me he will always be the ultimate entertainer.

There will never be another Michael Jackson, its impossible, - he has to be one of the greatest

Is it true, he is coming back to music and with his brothers?

Musically, and in terms of performing on stage, his videos, he is the greatest ever.

God It's Hard to pick because I love so many if not all but high on my list would be Man in the mirror, Billy Jean, Beat It, Will you be There, Liberian Girl, Well I could go on til Ive covered em all .
Seeing Him Do Billy Jean Live will Stay with me forever because it was phenomenal, so I guess that will be my bestest memory. I think David Copperfield ( the illusionist )Helped him with the stunts at that concert and It was Superb.

Michael is an absolute LEGEND. There are very few musical artists who really deserved to be called this, but he really is. He is a musical genius. I really hope that he can resurect (sp) his musical career, so that the current generation who are only aware of him because of his personal life, can see how amazing he is!

My favourite songs are

Smooth Criminal - this was the first song I was ever aware of his. I remember seeing it on the tv and just being wowed by it. Still, when i see this vid, it takes me back and makes me proud to be a fan.
Blood On The Dancefloor
HIStory the remix
Black Or White
Will You Be There
Ghosts
Man In The Mirror

Wow...I could go on and on!

The greatest artist and performer of all time, IMO. I know he's a sorry state these days and his personal life has always been questionable, but his contribution to music has been incredible.

The first album I ever remember listening to was Dangerous in 1991. It's my personal favourite MJ album, but I love just about all of his songs.

Hey.

OMG i absolutely love michael jackson, he is the all time most popular, amazing performer ever. Most of todays artists have been heavily influenced by michael i.e. justin timberlake, ne-yo, usher etc. I remember haveing a video when i was younger called Michael Jackson: The legend continues and i was blown away pure amazing, especially when i seen moonwalker the movie.

Its hard to pick a fav song as i love them all lol.
