I was going to continue on with the stereotypical sarcasm with a Michael Jackson video but - no matter what MJ performance I watch - I have to admit that the man had more talent in his discarded toenail clippings than everyone I've ever met in my life - combined.
Maybe he was a fucked up, but what MJ flushed down the toilet the day before he died contained more imagination and creativity than the collected opinions of every member of GFY over the last 12 years. Discard him and disparage him all you want - Michael Jackson was - arguably - the most brilliantly talented musician in the history of the world.
I'll include Beethoven, Bach, Paganini, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, Django Reinhardt, and the artist who may or may not currently be known as "Prince" into the equation.
Michael Jackson - and I'm not even a huge fan (more of a jealous onlooker) - is the single most brilliant musician in the history of the world.
A stupid Pepsi commercial from when Michael was still black. Its sad when a commercial displays more joie de vivre than any music video I've been subjected to over the last 20 years.
A stupid video with a bunch of kids miming "Bad". A Prince T-Shirt? Sheer bloody genius.
Dirty Diana. Steve Stevens - another genius! I'm on a fucking roll now!
I no longer have any idea what this thread is about. I lost focus a long time ago.
Michael Jackson: More pure talent than every single other person on the face of the earth combined. Heartbreaking how it ended. The man had a pure, simple LOVE of life - and he was continually fucked because of that.
While my opinion means nothing, I cry every time I watch him perform. Nobody will EVER touch the this man. I miss him so much.
Pure. Fucking. Unrelenting. Non-stop. Genius. The single greatest musician in the history of life, the universe, and everything. I fucking miss him with every pore in my body. Not one of you can possibly post a video of performance that be in the same league as MJ live.
He is without peers.
If this thread lacking in relevance, Re: Its original theme... Too fucking bad. I have no idea what this thread is about, but I can unarguably state that Michael Jackson is the single greatest entertainer in the history of the world.
James Brown, fuck off (but R.I.P.). Move over little dog, big bad MJ is moving in.
P.S. I keep typing, you keep reading. WTF? Michael Jackson is - inarguably - the greatest American musician in history. You can argue, but you'll lose.
P.P.S. Honestly, I cry everytime I watch him perform, or watch one of his videos. Watching MJ live, I feel like a 16 year old girl back in 1979 - I want to jump out of my chair and scream and shout. Actually, I do that sometimes.
P.P.P.S. Sorry if you do not agree with me. American Pie is aout the deah of Buddy Holly and American Music. The death of MJ just drove the last nail into the coffin.
