Michael Jackson concerts....
I'm am fairly positive that any response to this will be full of negativity from people younger than me, who are obviously easily manipulated by the media....
But still. I saw MJ at Wembley in 1997 and It was unreal. The best stage show you are ever likely to see. At the end of earth song, a full sized tank rolls out from the back of the stage, and other such excess. He had 2 150ft gold statues of himself on either side of the stage. I think it is awesome. If you are going to be excessive, do it fucking properly! So yeah, 50 dates announced in London.. I got some tickets for one of the August shows. He might well be nuts, and look like a cartoon, but if he still has the ability to put on a show like he has in the past, I know I am going to enjoy it. So, (he asks expecting no response) anybody else going? |

If he died tomorrow I would laugh, if he died today I would laugh even harder.
Fuck him, the filthy cunt. |

Ha. I bet myself an afternoon joint once I saw you online that you would be the first to reply, and with an abundance of hatred that only you can provide.
I totally hear you, but I am not going to watch him shag kiddies (partially because I don't really believe he ever did...) but to see his show. Which is incredible. Getting baked at 2pm is nice though. So top work brother! |

I would definitely go to see him. But I don't know if he'll actually show up to the concerts.

I'd go.
We are all messed up to some degree, some larger then others but messed up none the less, does't mean you can't sing or perform to your full ability however. |

Dude, i dont give a shit what people say about this guy. Hell, the people that scream he messes with kids have never seen the shit nor has he been convicted of anything. They just look at the news and are those people that believe "if it came off the tv, then its true dammit". Fucking losers.
Anyway, to have girls faint/looser their minds and have to be carried out during his shows...nobody could TOUCH him in the 80s. |

Despite all the rumors and his personal life, Michael Jackson is amazing and very talented. I wish I could go to his concert.

I remember from the ages 4-6, whenever there was a wedding reception, my fam would get the DJ to clear the dance floor, and I would go out there with these black shades and dance to "Bad". I was the man.

With that said, and with the price of MJ tickets anyways, I have no desire to even attempt to see him live. But I do enjoy telling people that I've seen him live already. ![]() |

If people had any sense they would of bought a load of tickets and then sold them on ebay for a ridic sum of profit.

I'd love to go to say I've seen him live, but fuck am I paying that shit. If I was slightly richer and the world was in a better state, yeah. But for now, I'll rave out to some cheaper shit.

LAWL.
I'm am fairly positive that any response to this will be full of negativity from people younger than me, who are obviously easily manipulated by the media.... But still. I remember when live performances were about performances, not gaudy props. Not ZOMG SOMETHING SHINY! Anyway, I chuckled at Nunder's response back then, as well as now. Fuck Michael Jackson. Yeah, he influenced Pop alright. Helped turned it into being about spectacle and not music. God, even the 70s weren't that full of this bullshit. |

Well I woulda loved to have been to a live show of his
He inspired immensly growing up and you can bitch all ya want about him KK but the man was the Icon in music of the 80's -I did pick up his dvd of his Dangeous Tour live in Bucharest Romania -Great great show and one of the best performers of all time -The man stood there for over 2 minutes in the intro doing nothing and they still were screaming and going crazy -That is a legend ladies and gentlemen Don't care what anyone says you know you'd want to see the man in concert at least once |

The set is as much a part of the performance as any part of it, but that is besides the point, what you are saying is MJ is a negative contribution to pop music because he added a much broader visual aspect to what he was and what he sold, but that was the natural progression of the stage show. The natural progression of music that is created to appeal to the masses and make them happy. That is all pop is. So he wanted to appeal to 2 sences instead of one. What a cunt. Last week I went to see Mars Volta, and the next day Leonard Cohen, and Thursday and Friday I played some shows for my friends band, playing bass, keys and guitar. I dismiss any patronising or negative comments regarding my musical interest from YOU, because you have the track record of a 'man' with significanly more mouth than trousers. |

Jackson five had some killer songs that were about music. And some of Jackson's songs aren't bad at all. I mean I'm definetly not a mainstream pop fan. And I htink his influence to music at a whole along with madonna hurt the industry more than helped it. But that's like saying you don't like some older wrestler with several great matches simply because he trained some wrestlers you don't like.

Even better analogy.
It's like saying you hate led zepplin because Creed sucks. Or because you got tired of all the soloing in rock. |
