fraroc Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) I thought we were talking about his musical talent and career as a performer but since the tone has changed I'm going on the record as saying I believe he was a deeply disturbed person with, at a minimum, an unhealthy obsession with children but was likely a pedophile that paid off families to avoid prosecution, and no, I don't want to watch a film about how he wasn't. So you don't want to look at new evidence that challenges your views? No. He just doesn't care enough. Which is fine, Michael Jackson presented himself in such a strange way he was always going to polarize.As a grown man I have never had the urge to hang around young children. Any normal person starts getting annoyed at preteens around 15 y.o. unless they're your kids and still...maybe. Anyone that is into this has problems no matter what an investigative reporter says. No normal person hangs their kid out of a window a couple floors off the ground. He was obviously disturbed in some way. Unless a psychiatrist that actually treated him has new information to release then it's conjecture. One thing I find as you get older is your conjecture is as good as anyone else's when it's all over. But Segue is correct, I just don't care....and he's dead. I will give you credit one one thing. Michael Jackson was not "normal", he was a very eccentric human being, however his eccentricities didn't make him a bad person or a criminal. In 2001, Fox aired a documentary called Michael Jackson's Private Home Movies which were a collection of home videos shot around the Dangerous era. There, you see Michael as the quintessential "fun and playful dad or uncle all the kids want to play with at family parties" Having Super Soaker fights, all the kids pulling pranks on him, pushing him in the pool etc....THAT TV special was most in-tune with who Michael really was. Fun loving, playful, child-like, and just overall a fun person to be around. And it portrayed his platonic love for children in a positive way. Compare that to the infamous Living With Michael Jackson documentary which was supposed to be similar to the Private Home Movies documentary,a glimpse into his everyday life. It ended up being nothing but a two hour extensively edited smear campaign that completely f***ing DECIMATED Michael's public image in the United States and to add insult to injury, was the catalyst that brought forth more allegations, criminal charges, and one of the biggest celebrity criminal trials in history. Want proof? look up "Living With Michael Jackson-The Footage You Were Never Meant To See" on YouTube. Edited January 3, 2016 by fraroc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The man had charisma. The man could sing. The man could dance. The man could entertain. And he had plenty of good songs. I leave it at that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraroc Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Right now, the one Michael Jackson song I really am fixated right on is Earth Song. Unlike MJ's other inspirational songs like We Are The World, Man In The Mirror and Heal The World, Earth Song is different...Unlike those other three songs which have an overall uplifting and inspirational message of "Here's what YOU can do to make the world a better place!" Earth Song just gives you an uppercut to the fucking face with the cold, hard reality of how fucked up the world is and I feel the song is ten times more relevant now in 2016 than what it was written back in 1995... "Did you ever stop to notice all the blood we shed before? Did you ever stop to notice this crying earth, it's weeping shores?" Of course, no one will ever bother to listen to this amazing song and analyze the lyrics...Why? Because it's a song by "Wacko Jacko" the so-called "kiddy diddling freak". I know that this was used by South Park a lot, but MJ haters really are ignorant. Edited January 27, 2016 by fraroc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Earth Song is possibly my all time favourite song, up against The Kinks Waterloo Sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) I listened to The Is It today. It's a solid collection of his best work. And, yeah...his voice is incredible on Earth Song. Edited January 28, 2016 by goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 And I love the way he performs it on the HIStory tour, with him on the hydraulic lift circling above the audience and hanging out of it during the "what about us" part...You need a lot of upper arm strength to do that.

fraroc Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 If Michael Jackson was still alive today and he saw the shape the world and society is today, I think we would be seeing another album like HIStory. Great album, but definitely Michael's darkest album. Pretty much all the songs were about injustice, brutality, war, corruption, and destruction.

fraroc Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 The entire Oslo, Norway show of the Dangerous Tour was recently leaked and I gotta say, it's way better than the Bucharest show that was released. Michael was full of energy this show and on top of that, it was the early Dangerous tour, meaning that The Way You Make Me Feel and Bad were performed this show :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Human Nature is my favorite single of his. So underrated and never gets played on radio as much as his iconic hits.

Oracle Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Human Nature is my favorite single of his. So underrated and never gets played on radio as much as his iconic hits. Human Nature and P.Y.T never get played on the radio around here. I'd rather hear those than Beat It, Billie Jean, or any other of Mike's more popular songs. The entire Oslo, Norway show of the Dangerous Tour was recently leaked and I gotta say, it's way better than the Bucharest show that was released. Michael was full of energy this show and on top of that, it was the early Dangerous tour, meaning that The Way You Make Me Feel and Bad were performed this show :) Michael was probably the hardest working person in pop music up until his death. There was never a performance of his that he didn't give 200% and then some. I especially like the Yokohama Stadium show from 1987 at the beginning of the Bad tour.
