My top 5 Michael songs: Liberian Girl Break of Dawn Speechless I Cant Help It You Rock My World Same kind of though I do remember the tail end of the HIStory era and the Invincible era before he went mostly quiet Great songs, btw. Did you know Michael (supposedly) wrote a song with Tupac called "Letter to My Unborn" and he used the instrumental to Liberian Girl 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Temptation 11,209 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 He is the first person I ever fell in love with as a kid. I practiced his dance moves and sung his songs from all his eras including the Jackson 5 and The Jacksons, but especially Dangerous and Remember the Time. That era was when i first got introduced to him, and it was phenomenal. He came to Australia for the World Tour and (even though my family was poor) I never got to see him, I had kindergarten friends that did, as well as primary school teachers, and they all preached about him, as if they knew him. And that made me feel like I knew him. He even got married in my hometown Sydney! After that, i was mesmerised with him. I watched him in Moonwalker on VHS so many times, saw The Wiz, watched the TV miniseries about his life, listened to all his Jackson 5/Jacksons music. He became my friend, my hero, my inspiration. And when he spoke, in his iconic soft voice, he became my teacher. Also, I loved him in The Simpsons!!! Like, everything he did was just so effortlessly cool. No wonder people started to hate him... All throughout high school, when sadly it became cool to hate and joke about him, I never once felt anything less than pure love and empathetic devotion to him. The world had gone mad. But not I. His music still speaks to me, and it is TRUTH. His innocence and witchhunt will forever be my wisdom and fury. His life is my education, to make the world a better place. I think I should leave it at that, because I don’t wanna make myself mad... Let me also just add something fun: my current fave song of his is “Speed Demon” 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting all those little pops and effects So you got to experience his career first hand I'm jealous. Most of my experiences with him was looking back since I was born in '94. It's a shame what the world did to him. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme More 34,842 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 A LEGEND the undisputed KING of Pop! i haven't delved fully into his discography yet but I need to! I obviously know all the hits and I went to the cinema to watch the 'This Is It' tour which I thought would have ended up being an amazing concert! My favourite song than I can think of off the top of my head has ALWAYS been Black or White! People may attempt to tarnish his legacy, but he will always be a legend. There will never be an entertainer like him! Also we love legends supporting legends, loved their fondness of eachother! I love how Brit always stuck up for him during the tough times he was going through and he always praised her. Two of the sweetest people in Pop.

Reveal hidden contents I remember watching this show and its the first time understanding how respected he is. I just wish Britney danced with him, it would have been the most iconic performance ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
