Smooth criminal is so annoying. Thriller is clearly ha best work

We aren't all born this way, on iTunes now with taste, clearly.

Smooth Criminal has better and more complex choreography, better production, better cinematography, better clothing and above all isn't overrated to the heavens because of its impact.

Rest in peace, Rod Temperton. Thank you for the music.

Some well-known songs that he wrote/co-wrote:

It's not. I prefer political and race issues songs like They Dont Care About Us. Michael is clearly a better artist when his topics are on important subjects.

And.. Thriller remains his best work in terms of music video or short film. Bad will continue to be poor man's thriller.

What???????????

[C.Damen]

All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us!

[KingKunta]

By the way guys the Michael Jackson Videography rate is coming!

We just have to wait until some of these other videography rates finish first. I'm hoping the Mariah one will soon.

Remember to go to the Singles/Rates signup thread and show interest in it.

OT: I'm still so in shock over Rod Temperton. I've been listening to Give Me The Night by George Benson none stop all week

[Humoresque]

This story, told on the day of his passing.

"I was 11 years old and the daughter of a policeman when the Jackson 5 came on TV. I watched for a minute, then I said, 'He's cute.' The rage in our house from that innocent comment will never be forgotten. I had never seen a black person; my dad's racism and anger was unstoppable. I defended Michael Jackson that night and my dad took me in my room and beat me till I promised never to talk about him again. Until today I really haven't been able to talk about what happened. I just saw for the first time the video 'Black or White' and I wished I had seen it years ago! I was right and Michael Jackson was right. Thank you Michael from a little girl who didn't see black or white."

In base it's called the rate signup thread. It's at the top of the page.

OT: it's really depressing how you can't have one fun or positive MJ thread about him on here without pedophile comments.

People are disgusting. MJ was too good for this world.

That's how it been here for years, and it' based off of his success that there faves will never achieve, so they think it's cute to disrespect him and his legacy by calling him disgusting terms like ''Pedophile'', Meanwhile he continues to win every year as his brand racks in more money than the lessors that you they love so much. Don't let it get to you sis.

[Humoresque]

Michael's heart was Childhood and Heal The World imo. Pain and longing that would never be fully resolved, but there was also such goodness and light and a belief that we could be the best of ourselves one day if we worked real hard. Anyone who wants to talk **** on Michael and subscribe to jealousy and bitterness, that's their problem, not his, and his legacy of genius and kindness stays unbothered.

GREAT article from the May 20, 1995 issue of Billboard. It's all about the campaign plans for HIStory. Long, but worth it.

Epic was doing the most with HIStory era I see, and mess at that guy thinking HIStory would sell more than the iconic Dangerous.

HIStory remains his best album tho.

[Humoresque]

I'd say of Michael's six adult albums, my personal ranking would be:

01) Dangerous
02) Bad
03) HIStory
04) Thriller
05) Off The Wall
06) Invincible

Of course I enjoy and love all of them. Just some more than others.

Confession: I replaced Just Good Friends with a 3:57 edit of Streetwalker because how did that song not make the album...

Bad for me went down after that rate game.

Yeah dangerous and history are top 2 for me.

Two video moments for today:



I can never at the total disparity when he starts to talk, I live

and



One of my favorite "leftovers" from his recording sessions.

Just ignore it. It's usually from certain stanbases who would love to discredit Michael's insane commercial success with so few albums.

OT: Epic had to plug HIStory like crazy for their stake in Michael's catalog
