NOtice how people weren't intersetd in listening to him until he died, I think he is well known, but not entirely for the right reasons |
The heck? I stole a ton of his music from airmp3.com and put it on my PS3. My mom loaned me the Jackson 5 CD so that I could rip it to my 360 before he died. His concert announcement made headlines. There were multiple threads and people with his avatar on this very site, months before his death!! I only had to go back and buy Invincible and Dangerous, after his death. At some point or another, I owned everything else (legally, too).
The man hasn't made an album in years. The interest tends to fade, if you go almost a decade without new material. And yet, we were still interested. Sooooooo no. He's well known, especially for those of us who listened to him in his prime for all of the right reasons.

OKay I shouldn't have said no one, UNtil he died only my frind Nicole liked Michael Jackson, everyone else I know thought he was creepy. Now that he is dead, nearly everyone listens to him constantly. I think Michael Jackson is HUge, he just isnt the biggest star out there

True. He's dead. But back in the day, his videos would premier on network television AND MTV at the same time. And we'd all go crazy over it. He could look at a lady and she'd faint on contact. Never seen anything like it, in my lifetime.
But if you really want to see first hand what it was like, go to a showing of This is It. The man is dead and I promise you, people (especially, older people) are going to go to the theater and lose their fucking minds! I went to see Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs and people were crying in the audience over the TRAILER for the movie. If he were alive, imagine that type of scene multiplied by ten. I dunno. Guess you had to be there.
