Let's not forget his last album and single both went to number one, in 2001. |

Earth Song was in the last 20 years - and was a massive success - one of his biggest singles ?
In addition THEY DONT CARE ABOUT US is not in the TOP 40 singles chart - a fantastic song.
This "20 years" rubbish - is just that. Rubbish.
His last 2 albums are better than 100% of the R&B rubbish that is churned out day after day these days. He had SOUL - which is what the new artists lack.
To do good R&B you need to feel it - perhaps R KELLY has some in some of his tracks but Rhianna and her like are basically robotic R&B with no feeling in their music at all.
Compare UMBRELLA to EARTH SONG - which has more to say about the World ? which has more excitement in the vocal etc etc.
If you dont like MJ then fine - but dont rubbish his genuine achievements just out of jealousy. |

It's a weird world. Almost every teenager I know idolises Michael Jackson and has his music on their ipod. And we can look at the teenage/child performers on BGT who sang his songs or chose his music for their backing tracks. A lot of the local kids are really upset about his death, not because someone has told them they should be, but because he was their hero.
I wasn't a massive fan, but I can acknowledge that others, of all ages, were. I'm not sure exactly what music he produced in the last 20 years, but if it has been so long since he released a decent song then it shows how much of an impact his music has had over the years that people too young to remember it have been so moved by it. |

He hadn't made a decent record for nearly 20 years. Every teenager I know regards him as some weird freak who took boys into his bed and know nothing of his music unless a song has been used for an advert.
Did anyone really believe this skeltal Joey Ramone lookalike was capabale of anything other than a freakshow.
Death resurrected John Lennon's long faded career but at least this time we don't get "John would have liked that" every day while she counts the pennies |
