What was the first?

I'm not sure. I just read it in an article in EW... So I googled it and found out that Eagles: Their Greatest Hits was No. 1. I was suprised. Off-Topic Madness ceases here!

Sadly, the Eagles' Greatest Hits album.

The same applies to the accusation.

I'm not dissin, dawg. They are cool. I was just surprised that they had the number one selling album of all time.

 

[Mrogreturns]

Yes he is either guilty or innocent.

I'm already sick of hearing about it. After a few months I'll probably be traumatised- think I can get an out of court settlement as compensation for mental torment?

Jacko's elevator hasn't gone to the top floor in quite a while methinks. It wouldn't surprise me at all that if he did it. After all, the man admitted that he sleeps with little boys.

 

[gael]

Guilty until proven normal.

Seriously, who gives a sh*t.

Yet at one point The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, etc, have all been at #1. Really, I can't put any faith in a rating system which gave both the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears brief cameos in the #4 spot.

He is obviously white to the eye, but he says he has a "rare skin condition" that makes him turn white. ("It's called money!" lame late-night punchline I heard to that statement...) On his file at the LA PD, it says "Race: B." Technically he is still black.

there is actually a skin condition where people lose the pigment in their skin, but it is usually patchy and blotchy. Its called vitiligo. He probobly had some procedures done so that it looked more even as the disorder progressed.

I hope these allegations are not true. Michael Jackson is an amazing dancer and performer, and appears to have a genuinly kind heart.

If guilty, though, I would not be surprised.

Moonwalker was a really cool movie.

Jackson is a Pyschopath. He has no empathy with anyone. Did you see the way he was handling his baby while he was interveiwed? He is only getting away with his crimes cuse his is rich. Look the ****er up for life.

Wrong.

Let me clarify for you.

The Eagles' Number Ones is the biggest selling record of all time in the USA only. It has sold about 27 million copies, while Thriller has sold just over 26 million.

If you're talking worldwide, however, the biggest selling album of all time BY A MILE is Thriller. It has sold over 56 million copies.


My opinion: Michael Jackson is without a shadow of a doubt the greatest and most talented musician of all time. He has an amazing voice, plays a whole range of instruments brilliantly, is a very good song and music writer, and is an unbelievable dancer.


"Pop, Hip-hop, rock, R&B" etc are tags which apply to ordinary musicians. They do not apply to MJ. His music transcends labels, none of those categories is valid for his music, he has such a range of ability that he can do any type of music.


Personality-wise, he is different. Unfortunately, that is the state of society today, if you aren't part of the norm, you're a "wierdo". The wierdos and the saddos are actually those that accuse him.

You can be a weirdo without sleeping with little boys or dangling infants over a balcony...

"His music transcends labels..."

I can think of a few for it.

To each his own, youre entitled to your opinion about his talent. Personally, I think its some of the lamest crap Ive ever heard.

So let me get this straight. If somebody puts out a few albums you like, you'll let him sleep with your children, because after all, everybody knows a talented singer and dancer is above suspicion, no matter what? Wow, I hope we do go back to the moon so I can sign up for the first rocket outta here, you arent alone, theres million like you out there.

 

[Smaasnekje]

Michael "Wacko-Jacko" Jackson is guilty meethinks.

 

[Turner]

Given his past track record, I would have said Guilty. Then I heard that the plantiff isn't all that wonderful themselves. They could be gold-digging. And MJ could have abused the kid. So I shall actually give the guy a fair shake this time, and not prejudge the situation like I did before.

If he's guilty, fine. If he's innocent, that's fine too. We'll just have to wait and see.
