How could one guy make such a phenomenon of himself and gain three decades of constant media coverage?
Is there literally anyone in the world who doesn't recognize who he is?
>>
Was Anne ok, was the kid not his son
>>
New album when? Lazy bastard
>>
>>71961046
As soon as he gets out of hiding and admits to his death being a media hoax.
>>
motherfucker could sing and dance and he always put on a show. And there was no Internet so people didn't have a 2 day attention span
>>
>>71961009
because he was an amazing entertainer that went absolutely fucking nuts.
>>
He was a musical genius. Wrote all his own shit, and was charismatic and handsome too, until he lost it. There was nothing like him at the time.
>>
As much as I love MJ and think he was a genius, what does he have to do with /tv/ aside from Moonwalker?
>>
>>71961192
What's /tv/?

>kept reinventing himself
>plastic operations
>skin color
>pedophilia
>neverland
>sleeping in some chamber that stops aging
>owning a monkey
>recluse genius
>kids wearing masks around

but also
>amazing shows
>always came back after a shit and equally sucessful each time
>offered something new

is he literally the best and most entertaining pop star to ever live?
>>
>>71961251
kanye west is better desu
>>
>>71961251
for me he was peak pop, you can only go down from there
>>
>>71961192
You what mate. Its more /tv/ than anything, /mu/ doesnt discuss pop music and there was always more to MJ than his music
>>
>>71961251

You forgot the balcony incident
>>
>>71961285
kanye is retarded in every way but music production. It's weird, like some kid who drools and can't wipe his ass but kicks the shit out of differential equations
>>
>>71961285
kanye will never cause such a social phenomenon as MJ and his army of fans all over the world
kanye is barely known outside of the western civilization
>>
>>71961251
I like Prince more, but they were both amazing at what they did. Great catalogs of music and brilliant performances live.
>>
>>71961372

The difference is Prince didn't constantly do things that drew media attention to him like MJ did. The wierdest thing about Prince was that he was a Jehovah's Witness.
>>
>>71961362
>>71961356
kanye tries to cause a scandal and make people talk about him, MJ literally wanted the opposite his entire life but he was so fucking strange, like ayy lmao being to everyone, media couldn't stop going on about whatever he did.
MJ was a curiosity even in celebrity circles which adored him from a distance.

he was the closest to transcending humanity really, he became more of an image of a person, idea of an artist
>>
>>71961394
Prince did more artistically, I found MJ pretty bland apart from the random quirks.
>>
>>71961251
>yfw he got the fucked up plastic surgery as a way to get major publicity and keep his career alive
