To this day I have never watched that "documentary" in full. Of course I have seen parts of it but the entire thing from start to finish? Nope. And I have absolutely no desire to either.

BTW what's your Dangerous trinity?

The documentary is staggered. The first hour or so doesn't touch on Michael's relationship with kids, it goes through Neverland and he talks about stories from growing up and stuff like that. I just adore the footage in general, we never saw Michael that way before. There's also a "Part 2" rebuttal documentary that proved Bashir edited stuff to make MJ look bad that shows the property and really beautiful interviews where Michael talks about being desperately lonely even at the peak of his career.

Onto more positive stuff!

My Dangerous trinity changes but for now:

Who Is It?
Keep The Faith
Jam

I listened to this so much when it first came out. It fits perfectly together:

Not the clip only being 12 seconds

Yes at all of us stanning for Jam! Underrated masterpiece!

What are you guys favorite solo written songs by him. We all know he had tons but if you had to pick out 10 what would that be?

[Rusty]

Sam Smith's Bond theme debuted today (listen here)

Sound familiar?

Why does Sam Smith's Bond theme Writing's on the Wall sound like Michael Jackson's Earth Song?

- The Telegraph

Sam Smith accused of 'ripping off Michael Jackson's Earth Song'

- Daily Mail

Sam Smith's new Bond song: The lyrics and why it sounds like Michael Jackson's Earth Song

- British Telecom

Meanwhile, the Huff Post put up this mashup of Earth Song with Writing's On The Wall... and it fits a little too perfeclty:

Michael, his never-ending impact.

Still haven't heard that Bond theme, and this gives me even less reason to listen and/or like it.

Jam is still one of my favourite album openers ever.

Impossible to pick only 10 songs. I love Speechless, Will you be there, DSTYGE, In the closet... I think those are solely written by him but not sure

Yep they all are. You can check his songwriter's hall of fame page to see his credits.

Jam is great!!

Just looking through MJ's US certifications for his albums. They need to be bumped badly.

Right now these are ready to update:

Off The Wall - 9X Plat (from 8X plat since August 2009)
Thriller - 3X Diamond (from 29X plat since August 2009)
Dangerous - 8X or 9X Plat (from 7X plat since May 2000 )
HIStory - 8X Plat (from 7X plat since 1999 )
Number Ones - 6X Plat (from 4X plat in 2009 - it has tracked sales of >5M in the US)
Michael Jackson's This Is It - 3X Plat (from 2X plat in 2009)

----
A little longer to wait, but surely close:

Bad - Diamond (from 9X plat in May 2013 [this number is way behind but the lost sales can't be certified now])
Invincible - 3X Plat (from 2X plat in 2002)
XSCAPE - 1X Plat (from Gold in 2014)

----
Unknown

Blood On The Dancefloor: HIStory in the Mix - 2X Plat (from 1X Plat in 2000)

----
Likely nowhere near an update

HIStory Disc 1 - 2X Plat (from 1X Plat in 2013)
The Essential Michael Jackson - 4X Plat (from 3X Plat in 2013)
The Ultimate Collection - 2X Plat (from 1X Plat in 2013)

I imagine they'll do a big presentation for Thriller reaching 30X Plat/Triple Diamond and certify Bad as Diamond at the same time maybe.

Jam
Remember The Time
Black or White

...is my Dangerous trinity, I think. I feel bad leaving out ITC and CLHGA.

[Humoresque]

Just finished a run-through of Dangerous. 14 tracks. 77 minutes. Imagine being a Michael fan at the time and finding out you were about to get so much

I also have the 33 1/3 book about the album by Susan Fast, which I'll likely read again or at least skim this week. I'm in some kind of Michael way right now.

The anxiety of having to wait 4-5 years for him to release a new album.

In other news he just crossed 2.5 billion views on youtube. I'm pretty sure that's the highest out of anyone from his generation by a large margin.

I now need a book about the HIStory album and why it's so amazing The way 2 Bad is creeping up hard on me lately

Perhaps that's why there's a Madge stan (who normally just hates on Gaga) on here who is doing the most on him with their profile, mocking his face and the fact that he's dead (yes, really).

Anywho, tbh Dangerous' release would have been nuts because Michael was still in his zeitgeist period. The album + promise of another ground-breaking tour would have been too much

Is that retromaury? I put hin on ignore because I saw that crap he had in his sig. What else has he done?
