Well I can tell you what my dad said about it because he was a FAN. The man used to play Thriller on repeat in our house, along with Off the Wall..on 12 inch. And he was upset about that shyt. Felt like Michael was trying to be white. He really got in his feelings about it and I know a lot of older people around me felt the same way
I figured as much..amazing though that he still had females going nuts after him,and still sold out shows and shyt despite his appearance changing like that.

This what a magazine thought he would look like in 2000 :francis:

:patrice: So if he The Coli existed back than would he be labeled a self-hating c00n in The Booth & TLR?

:yeshrug: Dude was always a weirdo to me growing up. The Michael Jackson episode of "South Park did him no favors. I remember watching a Michael Jackaon TV movie on ABC in the 90's & I was confused as hell why he was Black in that movie


So you have watched that piff? :banderas:

shyt is a classic...:wow:

I don't know a Black person my age who didn't grow up with Mike.

Dude was like a superhero to me, and movies like Moonwalker and Captain EO reinforced that. Sitting here watching him wear awesome suits, kicking ass via dance, shapeshifting into cars, giant robots, jetpack strapped rabbits.etc had me all :ohhh::ooh::leon::krs: as a young kid.

:whew: I finally downloaded the "Bad 25", "Thriller 25", & 2001 special edition of "Off the Wall" albums off the strength of that Montage

:feedme: Y'all gotta a recommendation for a The Jacksons greatest hits album?




@MartyMcFly @FlyRy

Don't download those 25 joints. Get the originals. The only way to fly

This place by Michael is great. Abc, dancing machine, I'll be there

No Whammies!!
BTW :francis: no one posting this piff



:banderas:

Another part of me is my shyt. :ohlawd:

Obviously this level was made with "Thriller" in mind, but "Another part of me" seems to fit perfectly.
Edit: The version of the game in this video plays Thriller during the "Fatality". I don't thing the version I used to play on Genesis had that.

I look at it more like a wasted opportunity. 1988, right off the heels of Bad, Michael could've done some crazy shyt in the movies. I guess this was the best thing he could come up with... :ld:

...we still got some undeniably classic moments (Smooth Criminal) :whew:
Speilberg was gonna have MJ be Peter Pan in a movie in the early 80's, but it got put on the shelf when he did other movies. He later changed the idea of the movie with a grown up Pan and did "Hook" instead. MJ was trying to get more into acting and actually planned on Bad being his last album. But with him getting more weird and the face changes nobody was going put him in a starring role. He got roles like the one in MIB II :mjlol:
