Re: Michael Jackson Appreciation Thread

I'm in luck then because I'm addicted to Pepsi and Peter Pan rocks my socks. I'll have to check out that soap too. Quit harrassing people in here though. You don't make it in the Guiness Book of World Records for nothing!

    Believe it man, the people out there calling Michael a child molester and making fun of him are in the minority. He is loved dearly by people all over the world and thats what today should be all about

    no the Beatles are responsible for pop music.


    but i get what you are saying, as an entertainer he had a dramatic effect. but as a musician? what did he do? write good pop music or expand music?

    Pop music is popular music, it has been around for a long time.

    pop music we know the last 50 years was really developed by the Beatles.

    man! I remember being a little girl singing I'll BE There by Jackson 5 and the first time I saw Thriller I was petrified!

    Regardless of his crazy, he was talented and an icon. I cried a little while jamming to Thriller on my way home!

    Sad sad day. Too bad he got really weird and crazy over the past 20 years because its tarnishing his greatness. The man was a pop music icon and genius. Everyone put on some Thriller.

    Misc. Records

    - Jackson has supported more charities than any other pop singer - 39 charitable organizations either with monetary donations through sponsorships of their projects or the participation in their activities. The charities involved include AIDS Project L.A., American Cancer Society, BMI Foundation, Inc., Childhelp USA, United Negro College Fund, YMCA - 28th Street/Crenshaw, The Sickle Cell Research Fund and Volunteers of America.
    - Jackson's "Bad World Tour" (1987–1989) was the highest-grossing tour ever at the time, with over $125 million earned. This record was later broken by the "Dangerous World Tour" (1992-1993) and later broken again by the "HIStory World Tour" (1996-1997), which is still the biggest tour ever in terms of international attendance (4.4 million tickets outside of USA).
    - On November 14, 1991, Michael Jackson’s music video, Black or White was broadcast simultaneously in 27 countries with an estimated audience of 500 million people. It is the largest audience ever to view a music video.
