....Really? :none:

i know right? ... i mean i was thinking yesterday about how this forum wouldn't even exist if it weren't for mj's influence. It was his idea to make music videos more of an art form instead of just a promo item. Tatu got famous for their amazing music videos - his influence is really that large. He was, after all, the first american artist to perform in post communist Russia. I'm not saying that without MJ music videos wouldn't have evolved into the way they are now but he was the one who did it.

My sister told me that the debut of the Thriller video was pretty much an international event.

Anyhoo, just to add some humour.
Jesus may have walked on water but did he ever moonwalk?
Thought so!

I watched the whole ceremony at home. I'd been sleepy and "gone" all day at work, but luckily I managed to stay awake and enjoy the ceremony. Had my parents not been sitting in the same room I'd be crying a river ...I tend to get too emotional with stuff like that - that's why I hate memorial ceremonies and such. But I thought it would be worth it to see this one :) And it was really nice; worthy the last of the truly great pop culture legends. We will most likely never see a character and person like that ever again. It's almost weird to think about, but it's true.

The ceremony seemed rehearsed to me.....like when his daughter was on the mic.
It seemed like she was forced

Yeah Really!!!!:bebebe:

Slayer, no need to be so rude :D (":bebebe:")

Let me explain why it's a big deal, if you really don't understand; he was the king of pop, and now he's dead.

Flashmob in Stockholm of all places :D http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0f0_1247168699

Guh I love it when people get together and do stuff.

My first impression of the family's speech was that it seemed kind of odd and movie-like, especially when his daughter threw herself into Janet's arms, but I don't think they'd do that to a child (force her to speak if she didn't want to). Either way, it's not strange to be asked to speak at a memorial service, but if you look at the video, the family seems kind of surprised that the girl wanted to say something, so whatevz.
