Michael Jackson

HolidayG1 · 02-27-2009, 10:54 AM

When MJ was at his best, he indeed was King. However, his last album (Invincible) waa full of mediocrity, and he hasn't had a really outstanding track in eons. Can he come back with a vengeance? Maybe in Europe, but in the USA, where ageism runs rampant, he may have more difficulty.

The Thriller updated tracks (on the 25th anniversary) were unnecessary and sooooo inferior to the originals.

He was a great entertainer above all on record and on stage. He's like the Tiger woods of Pop. or the other way around.... Thats all he knew grewing up apparently.

A massive comeback isn't completely out of the question in my humble opinion... but good lord he is going to have to pull something better out than that invincible piece of junk he tried to flog off to the masses not so long ago.... it was quite the steaming pile of turdishness from what I heard... he needs to get himself a good producer, perhaps even a good songwriter / co - writer... and make something half decent for crying out loud. And get a permanent nose that doesn't fall off. and find a way to make himself not look like an alien.

A tall order, all of this is, I know...

Allright! some one who can lock past the spectacle that is the king of pop. I don't know if any of you remember the live on prime time concert he did in Budapest, for the record the most amazing entrance ever.... he just magicaly appered out of a puff a smoke and he just held still, no light show, no sound, just there, dead still... for a long time and the crowd starts to simmer down, thinking its a statuette or something... then he just snaps his head to the left and the place goes beserk... one movement, one turn of his head. and they never stopped screaming 4, 3, 2, 1..Jam. what a performer. the jackson 5 are still one my fav's or is it 5 of my fav's? i should listen to some Michael in the a.m., think i will. good night for now everyone...

Damn, 10 minutes and all you get is a lot of "uhmmmm .." and finally "this is it" and "I love you all". Thank you Mike.

I like a lot of his 80s pop in a sort of fun-when-it-comes-on-at-the-party kind of way, like I might also like Bee Gees hits. However, MJ and his fanbase creep me out a little. Let's hope his face doesn't fall off during one of the concerts.
