Subject: Michael Jackson

He may be a great dancer, but he stole one of his moves of Gefforey Daniels of Shalamar which was the Moonwalk. Gefforey Daniels called it the Backslide until Jackson stole it off of him and called it the Moonwalk. I can't stand him, but I have to admit likeing some of his songs.

I think Michael Jackson is a classic case of "overstaying one's welcome"
The Jackson 5 had some great hits... I liked "I'll Be There" alot..
His Thriller Album was great too... most people knew every song on that album...
Then came "Say Say Say" which was a good song on an otherwise unexciting album...
That is when I feel he should have made his exit.. while he was still hot...but going downhill.
His later stuff, like "Man In The Mirror", "Bad", etc. were even worse, in my opinion. Had he backed out soon after Thriller, he probably would be remembered as one of the all-time greats of music.. and not many people would be saying they can't stand him... but I guess there was no way to know that then

I agree that he went downhill after his "Thriller" album and yes after that album he should've made his exit.

I thought what Jarvis did to Michael at the Brits was 100% funny.

I just have to ask, is it better or worse then his covers of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and/or "Mr. Tambourine Man"?
Err...I mean William Shatner, not MJ. ;)

I admit I once liked him and that was about 20 years ago but after all the crap that's been going on,I don't really care for him that much these days.
