Michael Jackson - The Greatest Entertainer, ever!!!

[KeithD]

I regard Isaac Hayes, James Brown, Wilson Pickett, Stevie Wonder and Marving Gaye as much better lyricists and musicians.

They are all 'niche' musicians though, whereas Jacko spread across many spectrums of music which is a measure of greatness in the music industry. His music also spanned nearly every language/country on the planet.

Iron Maiden write better lyrics, but they are 'niche' in the metal scene, and although have sold 10's Millions of records, come nowhere near what Jacko sold.

The only song I ever liked by him was "Ben" and it was all about a pet rat.....

me too,i like that song also coz i watch that movie about the 'pet rat'its make me.
and also i like his song entitled 'happy' when he was 11 or 12 y/o.

Iron Maiden eh, never got to see them though I always wanted to. Saw AC/DC at wembley last wknd and that was fantastic

Back to wacko and apparently last a few days ago there was one of those black music award thingies. Someone apparently said " the best thing about michael jackson is that hes black"
hmmm......makes me wonder when they last saw him!
you couldnt find someone trying harder to be white! not just his skin condition but the way his face was adpated by surgery.
Cant wait for a white music awards and for someone to shout " the best thing about xxxxxxxxxx is that they`re white"
dont think it`d be long before some do-gooder claims racism
