to think that Michael Jackson's music was a bit shit?

[AtYourCervix]

Nasty voice, whiny, weak and high pitched.

mediocre pop shite at best.

and just whiny and bizarre when he decided he was he messiah.

Bollocks and crap.

[CotherMuckingFunt]

Oh thank fuck.

I thought it was just me.

[AFuckingKnackeredWoman]

I'm with you there. I really don't think he deserves the king of pop title.

Madonna is also crap

[Zippylovesgeorge]

Oh so true :)

[AFuckingKnackeredWoman]

And lady fucking gaga

[KeepingAwayFromTheJoneses]

YANBU

[rycooler]

Yabu - he was brilliant - but you'd have to know about music to really appreciate him.

[hulahopper]

I never saw his appeal either....

[AtYourCervix]

ARE YOU BEING IRONIC RYCOOLER?

[AtYourCervix]

sorry caps. not shouty.

[LadyBeagleEyes]

I loved loads of his music, but didn't like him.
Billy Jean, The Man in the Mirror, Thriller - brilliant stuff.

[AtYourCervix]

but so whiny and nasal.

[naturalbaby]

early stuff - genius
late(r) stuff - deluded

[pictish]

Yanbu - he only has one good song.
I don't understand the adulation regarding his weak mediocre music at all.

[Pandygirl]

agree with naturalbaby

[rycooler]

No, I'm not being ironic - he was a truly brilliant performer.

[abayababe]

I thought he was a genius, love his music, to each there own.....

[Sevenfold]

yanbu
apart from Ben that was good, other wise it was all show and no substance

[SarahStratton]

Hurrah! At last others that agree with me. Am I allowed to say what a creepy wee fuck he was?

[aquashiv]

Billy Jean was ok. After the first high pitched woo and the funny leg walk thing was done to death the music was just rather shite.

[Itsjustafleshwound]

I agree - a real 'microsoft' performer ...

[PersonalClown]

The Quincy era was brilliant. Off the Wall? Triller? Excellence.

After that...zzzzzzzzzzzz

[Bearskinwoolies]

Yanbu - but there's quite a few I think are crap or are trading on past glory.
McCartney for instance.

[Georgimama]

YABU. Billy Jean is one of the best pop songs ever made.

I think this is a gavel moment isn't it?

[Saturdaysgirl]

I liked it back then as well, but the later albums, nah. He was a genius in his day.

I think his life was very sad tho. Imagine growing up that way! It wouldn't be allowed these days. Good. I think he was of a generation that is dying, for the best, and hopefully 'Buy a Doctor' is dying with him. (I wish!)

[Georgimama]

Ah, McCartney OTOH, I am fully on board if anyone wants to slag him off.
