Obvious trolling effort is obvious.

:( That's all I can say. The gossip relating to him in his last years made him into a joke, but he was still, and forever will be, a music legend.

EDIT: Ah, didn't see Weegee's edit. Never mind.

Well-deserved respect for Michael Jackson is well-deserved... but tragically seldom spoken.

Michael Jackson has great music, but best of all was his dancing. And he was in my favorite game.

R.I.P. Space Michael

You know, I wasn't really around back when he was being famous for being an awesome singer, but after finally listening to some of his songs a year or two ago and reading his Wikipedia page yesterday, I've definitely become a fan. They better do a [darn] good job on his biopic.

I generally don't pay attention to the lyrics in music, but I at least found his stuff to be pretty catchy. His dancing was great too.

Anyway, I really don't have anything insightful to say. I just watched the episode of AVGN where he talks about the Michael Jackson game for the Genesis as well as the episode of The Simpsons with the guy that claims to be Michael Jackson (Season 3, "Stark Raving Dad").

Rest in peace, Michael Jackson. I've heard some his music and he is indeed the King of pop. He will be greatly missed.

I'll never forget the time he leaned forward to look past his lawyer and directly at me in the jury stand. RIP King of Pop.

If he and his former wife, Lisa Marie Presley, were to have had any kids, that child would have been the single greatest musician in freakin' human history. That is, of course, provided that the child wouldn't have spontaneously exploded upon birth due to his or her sheer genetically-inherited awesomeness.

Good point.

Also provided the child didn't receive his/her mother's "talents" instead of his/her grandfather's talents.

Considering how young some of these artists are starting in music these days (especially those from Disney), we'd have probably been hearing or close to hearing this new artist right now. Heck, MJ himself was famous at a younger age than that.

Uh
You realize that these "artists" barely have to do anything? At all? Disney just finds pretty faces and by brute force makes them popular.

Weegee · « **Reply #44 on:** June 28, 2009, 06:18:50 PM »

Likening Michael Jackson to Disney's studio-manufactured teenybopper groups is a practice which one shan't partake in. There haven't been any genuinely talented manufactured bands since the Monkees disbanded back whenever. The Jackson 5 was a rarity in that its success with such young members wasn't the product of corporate superficiality, but instead of authentic musical talent (and some promotion from Diana Ross of the Supremes, but still.).

Say what?! Did we miss something here?
