Giving a serious answer. The beats, the dancing, the videos, the catchy lyrics. Just a perfect storm for me as a kid. Brilliant stuff. He was a superstar as well... arguably one of the most famous people in the world at the time. I pretty much know the Bad album word for word, even now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Boring concert, never a icon, lyrically poor, non original dancing, best selling album Thriller even now 76 million copies sold, a complete fraud, give me a pub band anyday........Yeah right!!

chrisp65 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 If you can see beyond the weird creepy worrying kiddy stuff and still like Jackson, good for you. I always found Dr Shipman to be very attentive and empathetic to my nan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I don't think any 'entertainer' has hit the level of fame since, that Jacko did. In the late 80s/early 90s he was a genuine superstar. Reminiscent of the Beatles and Elvis I imagine. I'm not sure we will ever see anything like it again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Does this mean I can start listening to Lostprophets again? Seriously though, I don’t think I ever could. I can’t separate the art from the artist so if I even was an MJ fan, I couldn’t listen to him. He was just lucky he never got caught and found guilty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not "like it", but there's pretty much similar in some ways today, but with Beyonce, (and perhaps even Taylor Swift and Adele and Ed Sheeran and whoever - Kanye or Kendrick Lamarr and all the rapsters that they have). In terms of music "mania", anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in one of the documentary’s the parents of one boy who was close to him said that they were moving house and Michael suggesting loaning them the money to buy it instead of paying interest on a mortgage, they could just pay him back interest free. Then he later decided they didn’t need to pay him back at all. Absolutely not a bribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
