Exclamation Michael Jackson Appreciation Thread

Michael Jackson Appreciation Thread


I've started this as an appreciation thread for Michael Jackson, where fans can post respects and positive comments. You can also post photos and youtube videos, but please bear in mind the general forum rules, so not hotlinking images from other sites, you can either upload them here or you can host them on your own webspace such as photobucket and flickr accounts. As this is an appreciation thread, please don't post any joke photos/photoshop images. Also, no thread spoiling, trolling, flaming, or baiting please.

I've started a second thread at the link below, as a Michael Jackson Discussion Thread, the idea being that people can post respects in this thread, along with images and videos, and leave the discussion to the second thread as there may be aspects of his life and music that may be discussed that might not show him in the best light. The same rules apply as the other forums, but I ask that you please refrain from posting antagonizing or childish comments, anything stupid that's posted will probably be deleted. One last thing, please don't post any rumors as facts.

Re: Michael Jackson Appreciation Thread

I'm really suprised by the lack of response to this thread,anyway i just thought i'd say that the man with the voice and the man with the trademark moves is and will always be remembered.It hardly feels like such a quck time has gone since MJ's passing on this earth.

This is going to be his comeback and his fans won't be dissapointed.

Re: Michael Jackson Appreciation Thread

Hi,

So far I have only seen about a minutes worth of footage on the Michael Jackson Rehearsals. Does anybody know how long it really is and whether it can be bought on DVD in the near future?

Thanks

3 hours and according to some people at AEG Live it will be released on DVD (although it will be cut and edited).

Re: Michael Jackson Appreciation Thread

Hi,

It's a shame that the rehearsals will be cut and edited. I'm sure a lot of fans will like to see the unedited rehearsals of his 'This Is It' concert and what they may have got to see if the concert did go ahead.

I also heard that there is tons of unreleased material of MJ's that is stored in the vaults that never made it to his albums. This will also be released at some stage.

If it is released as an album or maybe even albums, I'm sure it will sell in millions and help to recoup some of the debt that MJ has done.

Hi,

If you were one of the selected ones, would you have been willing to travel by plane all the way to Los Angeles in such a short space of time?

Hi,

It's only after his death, that the world is beginning to realise what a performer he was.

That's a very good version quality wise and looks much better than my Thriller 25th Anniversary DVD upscaled, but obviously the TV is a bigger screen

Not really in HD is it. So far nothing has ever been out there thats HD other than the memorial. Most likely just upscaled mpeg.

Re: Michael Jackson Appreciation Thread

I loved Thriller when it firsd came out but I was never a great fan of his, but I thought "Off the Wall" was a fantastic album, for any music fan, so it was a suprise to see all his albums but "Off the Wall" sold out at HMV Picadilly on the weekend after his death.

Which is to prove my point that many of his so called fans cralwing out of the woodwork or discovering him and setting up facebook memorial pages, really don't know a thing about music. OTW is one of the few albums I listen to regurly that is not in my usual Pink Floyd/Led Zep regular listening circle.
