It's all about Michael....

by **G.I.Jim** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 10:06 am

I want you to help me make this thread all about Michael Jackson. I've been extremely excited about the new "This Is It" dvd coming out tomorrow, and thought it would be cool to have a thread dedicated to him. Please keep the negativity out of this... I just want you to post your favorite video clips, song clips, stories, etc...

I'll start with a cool video of the prisoners dancing to "History":

Here's another favorite of mine... "Man In The Mirror" from his last tour:

What are your favorites?

by **Ehwmatt** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 10:11 am

Ballads: Man In The MIrror, Heal The World, She's Out of my Life,

Rockers: Black or White, Beat It, The Way You Make Me Feel, Billie Jean , Smooth Criminal (wow, almost forgot this one)

Overrated: Bad (not that good), Thriller (good tune but legend inflated by its namesake huge selling album + legendary music vid)

I love the song too, but every time I hear about it I remember Michael saying in an interview years ago that he cried every time he tried to sing it. :lol:

I'm not trying to laugh at him about it though, because I think it was because of his sensitivity that we got all of those years of great music. :wink:

It's a great song and his voice sounds great!!! and well he was a little on the emotional side anyway!!! :wink:

On a side note (3:37)...

The jail warden actually took his cue from a scene in "The Shawshank Redemption" where a prison riot was nipped in the bud when an Italian aria was played over the public address system for all the inmates to hear.

Just when he took the reins of office and a rumble was imminent, he got his hands on Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" and, well, the rest was history. :lol:
