Watched - This Is It - Michael Jackson
 

One word.

Amazing.

right or wrong, good or bad, guilty or not guilty, addict or not, he was still the greatest performer we will all know in our lifetimes.

I am not sure anyone could ever debate that issue. Pretty damn fucking sure he was the greatest performer ever and assuming anyone ever comes close in the future they will have to not only live up to his standards in all ways, but blow them out of the water to make people agree.

I don't like Michael Jackson but I pretty much agree.

i gotta see it - not the biggest michael jackson music fan but as a performer and cultural phenomena and oddity, the greatest we've seen.

what a tragic bizarre life - he identified with the Elephant Man, and ultimately did become a similar figure even though he was born handsome and talented. so bizarre.

He was one of the greatest preformers of all time & he was a musical genius imho

But I would never have allowed him around my kids

I honestly do not think there was anything wrong with him and kids. I think he just did things we would find taboo or improper, like sharing the bed with them. Almost seemed like he only identified with kids and was psychologically stuck as one when he was not the performer.

Wouldn't mind seeing it actually.

I agree. I don't think he ever had sex with them at all - he was just an easy target for blackmail. Was the identity of the accuser public knowledge?

I just watched the new movie tonight. It was pretty good.

Prince is/was also quite amazing. A musical genius and a great dancer as well. :2 cents:

I'm going tomorrow night to see it on the BIG screen! My girlfriend wants to go otherwise I wouldn't. PLUS she says I can go stoned if I want. One word: SWEEEEEET!

HeeeHeee!

Too bad they didn't show the moment when the cast and crew learned of his death. It would have tied the movie's loose ends into a nice tight package. I think it would have made his tragedy more personal for the viewers.

Amongst the greats: Beatles, Elvis & Michael Jackson

MJ's appeal was more across all boundries around the world, plus he had great songs and most importantly he could entertain the masses!

I have not seen any current artist have most of the crowed going crazy and lots of female grown women crying and collapsing like MJ made them do...

Saw the movie on 10/28.. it fucking rocked!

going to see it on wednesday, pretty excited

MJ is good dancer and singer :D

I have zero interest in seeing the movie. I was never a big fan. A friend who saw it said, that you pretty much get the feeling that he was murdered. The guy is dancing and full of energy and then 2 days later he is dead.

Now that I've seen the trailer I gotta admit I want to check that movie out...
