Bradley 58,663 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I was very young before he passed away and I wasn't really listening to pop music in general until Gaga introduced me to the whole showbiz in late 2009/ early 2010, so no but I listened to some of his music after I grew up a little bit and I quite like him. I wasn't able to experience his music in the creation of his 'eras' but he has some really great songs and his performances are very entertaining and well thought out.

Kermit 15,807 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 When I was like 8, it was uniform free day at school, so I ****ing kid you not... I wore a black fedora, black khakis and a white t-shirt and WENT IN. I swear, the teachers were sick of my bullshit and the other kids were like "tf?" In a way, I adored that man more than I adored Gaga. I still remember when my older brother came into my room and turned my TV on, saying "Michael Jackson's dying" and there were a **** ton of fans for blocks and blocks, on the news. I also remember the reported suicides, after he was pronounced dead. 1 minute ago, ReidOne said: “For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic.

In a way, I adored that man more than I adored Gaga. I totally feel you!! When I was growing up (in the late 80's) my parents had an old fedora hat. My 2 cousins and I would play in the basement and take turns wearing the fedora pretend we were all Jacksons... my male cousin was older than me and would always get to be Michael. My female cousin was older than me and would always get to be Janet. I was the youngest, so I always had to be one of the other brothers, lol... Great memories. Just the tip of the iceberg in my MJ memories growing up, tbh. He's the greatest pop star to have ever lived. I find that Gaga is one of only a very, very select few who can do the job within any degree as good as he did it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusxillusion 184 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I knew his song Billy Jean but I didn't really know who he was, I only started finding out about him after Gaga talked about him in her amazing interviews during that era. I remember youtubing his songs and I wasn't that impressed. His voice is kinda thin and his dance moves don't have the same power or conviction that Gaga has imo. Even though she's not a classically trained dancer, I do believe she is a better dancer overall because she actually tells a story through dance and has an emotional, artistic quality in every move.

PartySick 154,683 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I've been a fan since '97 when I was three I guess I kind of used him as a father figure in a way since my actual dad was next to useless. It's kind of poetic how Michael took me through my childhood and Gaga took me from adolescence into adulthood 🧡The blindfold's off my eyes, all I see for me is better days🧡 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly love this mashup more than I love either of these tracks on their own (and I LOVE them both!): Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
