Did you start loving MJ more after his demise or more before that? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 82/100. almightyonline (243)3 months ago

It has been a huge tide of discussions and popularity that Michael Jackson had earned within the last couple of months more than he had before his unfortunate demise. I've seen people, [including me] going behind his music more after his death than they did before that. Wasn't he at least a bit unnoticed for a couple of years before his death? It's like that, it's when we lose our eyes, we get to realize how important it was! MJ, i love you

I like it when I was a kid, but not a fanatic one (too little to be one). I think people love public figure more when they already passed away. Just like everybody else, I started to search any MJ songs right after he passed away..

The last video klip is You Rock My World isn't it? I guess I was in junior high school at that time. I thought it was a good song but it wasn't a big hit just like other MJ songs. After that, we only heard bad cases of MJ (sexual child abuse, right?)

But I'm a bit confused. After MJ died, a TV channel in my country broadcasted some of MJ's concerts. In one of his concert, MJ sang You Rock My World. So it was a hit right? But why in my country it wasn't a big hit? I just knew the clip from MTV Premiere or something like that...

Anyway, I love MJ....

My favorite video from him is the "earth song" and after that, "heal the world", both carrying good messages. As you said he was almost forgotten after those controversies of child abuse and other plastic surgery cases. It's a kind unbelievable thing that he gained 100 times boosted popularity all of a sudden by his death, as if his death was a new beginning for him though he is no more with us physically.

Hi almighty, I can't say I'm a fan of Michael Jackson cause I usually like a different kind of music and MJ's kind of music is not one of them. But having said that doesn't mean I don't appreciate him as an artist. I have great respect to him and for his music and I think a lot of people feels the same way like I do towards him whether we are a fan or not.

I agree people tend to see the importance of someone when they have passed away. That's one reality in life that sucks actually.=(


myLot reputation of 82/100. almightyonline (243)  3 months ago

I do join with you to a certain extend. But I really love the melodies from him such as "heal the world" and "earth song" which carry wonderful messages with them. It was really touching to see the importance of stopping wars propagated through the innocence of children. [ But he just did break that image when that child controversy came out!] What i hate about his music is unnecessary kind of undesirable shoutings ooooooohhhhhhhh ooouuuuuuuuuh eeeehhhhhheeeeeeee and all. All his fast numbers are almost similar. But his melodies were touching and that's why i love him!


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (180)   ranked 102 out of 518 in michael jackson  1 month ago

Hahaha yeah, the ooooouuuh stuff does bother me sometimes..lol But when it comes to his lyrics, I agree it does carry a good message. Too bad not all people take time to even try to understand a message on a song, rather just likes the melody or something.

And about the controversy he had struggled with for years, I actually up to now can't decide whether that's true or not. It seems true since a lot have testified but I really don't want to judge anyone with just rumors with not enough proof.


myLot reputation of 82/100. almightyonline (243)  1 month ago

Hei, nice to hear from you again! So long since we've talked!


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (180)   ranked 102 out of 518 in michael jackson  1 month ago

Haha Hi almighty, I missed you. I'm trying to organize my time to be able to drop by here regularly. I'm glad you're doing great by the way. I got so busy to the point where I'm going nuts already..lol

Didn't like him before he died, don't like him now.

And I got SO aggravateed at all the people here that kept posting about him and spelling his name wrong even though they claimed they were such great fans. thumbdown

At least I give you credit for spelling it right. thumbup


myLot reputation of 82/100. almightyonline (243)  3 months ago

Oh.. At last, just one person came in saying he just hated Michael Jackson! What's that makes you hate him? Is it his songs or his character? Don't tell me you hate MUSIC as a whole! I don't think there's anyone like that. You must be a fan of some music band right? Which is that, if it's there? Yeah, even I've seen a lot of people rushing into the music stores seeking for his albums only after his death, even those guys who used to hate him like hell.!!

I loved him before he passed away n yes I still love him an an before he died i had alot of his music on my ipod


myLot reputation of 82/100. almightyonline (243)  3 months ago

Like you, even I've stored some of his songs in my cell phone, more after his death than before that. I always used to keep that "heal the world" song. But right now, I'm back to my old playlist, which consists of almost all songs of westlife more than anything.


myLot reputation of 89/100. enola1692 (1550)   ranked 48 out of 518 in michael jackson  3 months ago

Man In The Mirror an Remember The Time an of course Heal the world are my favorite ones but I I have just about all his songs on my ipod an I will tell playing his music can lift your sprits

I am and always will be a Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. "fan" (lack of a better word) I have listened to his music since he was a little kid singing lead in the Jacskon Five group. Even then I felt that he was destined for greatness. It is a shame that even in death the media is still "milking" is persona, his legacy. Let's continue to bring Hommage to his life's work by "Looking at the Man in the Mirror" and "Heal the World" be giving of our time talent and treasure to others would need our help.


myLot reputation of 82/100. almightyonline (243)  3 months ago

He has definitely LIVED his life though he departed half way. Trying to find only the good side of his life, you can say he has grabbed almost all possibilities one can earn in his life. Money, fame, love, everything. He even tried passing some very good and meaningful messages to the world gone bad through several musical hits. Can never forget him. A coin is to have two faces, that's normal.

His fame was on the top when I was in 3-4 standard.From then I remember him. I agree that he was a bit unnoticed or his fame faded but after his sudden death, he is again on the top list of fame.
The world would never forget the king of pop. Ya, we get the importance of the person after he has gone very far away.I miss him too.


myLot reputation of 82/100. almightyonline (243)  2 months ago

Yes, he's currently on the top. It's a great missing and i don't think that his spot is not gonna get filled by anyone else in the recent future, he was outstanding. There would be no one in this whole world who has not spelled his name at least once. He's in our heart.
