I think he retained an interest in it and also had an interest in the company that bought it!
I'd go as well!

1. Beat it, just a fab video, great to sing to in the car..
2. being about 10 years old and being allowed to stay up to some unearthly hour with my mum to watch first UK showing of the Thriller video.... and then going to bed scared!!!
3. the songs, the music, the lyrics

The Michael Jackson story is on ITV 1 now for anyone who wants to watch

I think this was one of his most personal pieces:



and I think he was devastated after the press (with commercial interests of course ) ripped the crap out of him for it. Maybe the world wouldn't be so bad if there were more people like him in it

A masterpiece, which is number two in the itunes video charts at the mo (thriller is number one - with the rest of his songs occupying the rest of the top 20!).

Btw, if any of you haven't got it, get his Invincible album, his latest album that didn't sell as well as his others, but I think one of his most personal... quite sad listening to some of the songs now actually.

I'm going to try to order it now. Thanks for posting the video. Wanted to mention Billie Jean is my favorite song.

1) I have too many fav's to be able to pick one!

2) Seeing him in concert on the history tour and he arrived in a space shuttle.

3) The music and entertainment.

Thanks for that Azz, will do so now - have got all his songs playing on spotify as we speak hee hee

My fav song, thats a really hard one but it will have to be "Get on the floor" I remember dancing to it round my bedroom when i was a child, I still have it on 7" I think it was the B side to "Dont stop til you get enough" also on the "Off the wall" album

"You are not alone" holds a certain memory for me, my mum also loved MJ and owned the "Thriller" album (still does). when I left home at 19, she was so sad to see me go, I bought this record for her.

I was playing his music all night last night, mainly the older stuff, some tunes I havent heard in years, funny how you remember all the words

How will I remember him?

A real showman, who led a very tragic life.

The real "Peter Pan"

In case you haven't seen it, some rehearsal footage released has been released:

Thanks Azz
