Can we please just have ONE MJ post without people thinking they know everything about his complex life? Jeez!
PS: He was NEVER convicted of a crime. Just saying. :confused:
DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ.

If you and others want to continue to pass judgement on the dead guy, it's perhaps worth taking time to read up on the topic and seeing how badly advised and basically extorted he was. An easy target by greedy parents by all accounts. If my child had been molested I would have had the police straight on him, not a civil lawsuit...


Of course, if you'd rather base your education and judgement of people on frothing, sensationalist tabloid headlines then feel free to do so. We all know how reliable they are.

You must be under 30 / 25? At a guess

I've only ever been fired from a job once: it was the day I called my boss a **** for making jokes about MJ's death (on the day he died). Don't regret it. Jackson is a legend and Thriller a pop masterpiece, in my view.

Bad also available for £2.99, see thread here.

Oh dear! Given MJ's dubious personal history, could it be that Gary Glitter is next week's album of the week?

Yes.... 18 million. But that was before his private life went public.

Thriller is the most overrated video of all times.

Some good tunes on the album though.

Worth it for Eddie Van Halen's guitar solo on Beat It alone.

great album though i do prefer it on vinyl. have some +heat

You'd be wrong, i'm 30 and an 80's child, I love MJ. I would say under 25/20.

I am 42, I remember the special showing of it on CH4.

Ain't a patch on Take On Me.

So bored of seeing that rubbish Zombie dance turn up everywhere ever since.

Saw him in concert at Wembley back in the day. Not his greatest fan but the gig was fantastic.

probably true :smiley:

Stick to the deal people. His music is legend. Bargain price. end of

Thriller of deal heeeeeeeeeee, heeeeeeeeeee.

If you're 30 then you're not much of an 80's child - having missed 50% of it.

dod he didn't he, discuss

Ok, it's not Halloween but this is still worth a watch given the topic.

People forget what this guy did for charities

Wernt all the profits of The Dangerous world tour donated to charities, would you see Justin Bieber do that? Nah..

He's a legend, end of

Anyone see the Cirque du Soleil documentary on Sky Arts recently?

Watch it on catch up if you. Magical!

Keep everyone "quite" what?

Bought. Quality album for a great price. Heat added. Enough said.

He bought the silence of countless victims - parents, who used their child's misfortune for financial gain.
It is not in the interests of countless Fans of "The KIng Of Pop" to face up to the reality of what Michael Jackson was.
When fools take off their rose tinted spectacles, the reality is obvious.
Michael Jackson was a serial sexual predator (a.k.a Paedophile) with an unhealthy sexual interest in young boys.

Boring

Yep they've forgotten....

Why being ignorant?!? If you don't want to believe Michael Jackson himself then maybe you'll believe a pretty white (may be important to you) lady

Duck butter

Yuck...............

MP3... No thanks

Your comparison is flawed. They were found guilty whereas Jackson was not. He was obviously a weird fellow but no one really knows what he did or didn't do because there was so much money to be made out of allegations against him.

So if you have young children and some one rich molested your kids would you accept a pay off? No...

To me that's proof he did not do it.

I have kids, I wouldn't accept any payment, if my child was molested, I wouldn't sit back and enjoy the money from it.

scorching

Wow this takes me back - I have the original vinyl version - cant believe it's that old!

Brilliant

What's the difference between Michael Jackson and a Plastic Carrier Bag?

One is white, made of plastic and extremely dangerous when left unsupervised with young children. The other is a Plastic Carrier Bag...

"Boom boom..."

Not guilty and innocent are completely different . Just saying

lots of judgmental people with 3rd hand info being taking as fact. unless you were mj. You will never know.that's the fact I stick with.

Ok... As we can't ring him up and ask him personally, tabloid headlines it is then.

Neither was Jimmy Savile


People said the same about Jimmy Savile.


Even if you ignore Jackson’s crimes, this album is very much of its time but now hopelessly outdated. Jackson was never a great songwriter, musician or singer, he was just good at dancing and punctuating his tedious songs with shrieks and squeals. If you like this kind of music, Prince did it a lot better.

Thanks OP, great price.

Speaking as a big Prince fan (I have all his albums + many related acts) and an MJ fan (I have all his albums) and having seen both in concert, I would disagree, especially with regards to Thriller, which has not dated, in my opinion and demonstrates some of the best song writing of the 80's. Prince, however, is undeniably more prolific in his song writing and his musicianship. I don't know if MJ could actually play any instruments, as he never demonstrated this in his liver performances.

With regards to their dancing... well they have rhythm, but I wouldn't try to copy them, even if I could dance.

Give me credit for hearing the bleaching stories 20 years ago and moving on. I've not been googling this the past 20 years hence my "ignorance". .....

So now I know he had virtiligo, i appreciate that his fame he did not allow him to deal with it in the same way as at least two people in my community....

Finally, does the virtiligo explain why his children look the way they do ? clearly they were born with virtiligo or MJ did something to make them the way they are too....

but I dont care... he was a musical legend and a freak in every other way...

He only wrote four of the songs on Thriller for those commenting on his songwriting.

I am just saying , all these MJ supporters saying he was proven innocent are lying . No such thing was proven . And do not even attempt to insult me !

Not everything is so black and white (no pun intended)! Genetics should explain it. The children had a white mother. I did some research and apparently Michael's paternal grandmother was half white and grandfather had lots of Indian blood. If you look at MJ's father he has blue eyes. And indeed, the oldest son has vitiligo. The youngest one though looks a lot like Michael in my opinion.

1. Not jacko, Michael Jackson.
2. He was no more weird than an average person.
3. I have small children and just got them to love MJ.
An article worth reading if you are open-minded http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread477059/pg1

Who doesn't already own this album??? Worth buying again and again though! Love Michael Jackson so much!

Michael Jackson the greatest singer/dancer ever!! Nobody else come close :sunglasses:

Just gotta say you're an idiot. He bought silence of "countless" victims?? You seriously believe that?? Or are you just trolling? There has never been any indication that your statement is true, except in tabloids. Not even the prosecutor tried to claim that. And he would if it was true. Seriously get real.
