We don't care much about what's happening with Michael Jackson now especially his personal life but we have been so turned on with his poprock music. Who are here love his music from the 80's till now? What's your favorite song he did? Let's share anything about his music. I do love his music and all his moves. ALL ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON American superstar Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana in 1958 and has been entertaining audiences nearly his entire life. His father, Joseph Jackson, had been a guitarist but was forced to give up his musical ambitions following his marriage to Katherine (Scruse). Together they prodded their growing family's musical interests at home. By the early 60s the older boys Jackie, Tito and Jermaine had begun performing around the city; by 1964 Michael and Marlon had joined in. A musical prodigy, Michael's singing and dancing talents were amazingly mature and he soon became the dominant voice and focus of "The Jackson 5." An opening act for such soul groups as the O-Jays and James Brown, it was Gladys Knight (not Diana Ross) who officially brought the group to Berry Gordy's attention, and by 1969 the boys were producing back-to-back chartbusting hits as Motown artists. As a product of the 70s, the boys had emerged as one of the most accomplished black pop/soul vocal groups in music history, successfully evolving from a Temptations-like group act to a disco phenomenon. Solo success for Michael was inevitable, and by the 80s he had become infinitely more popular than his brotherly group. Record sales consistently orbited, culminating in the biggest-selling album of all time, "Thriller." A TV natural, he ventured rather uneasily into films, such as playing the Scarecrow in The Wiz (1978/I), but had better luck with elaborate music videos. In the 90s the down side as an 80s pop phenomenon began to show. Michael grew terribly child-like and introverted by his celebrity. A rather timorous, androgynous figure to begin with, his physical appearance began to change drastically and his behavior grew alarmingly bizarre, making him a consistent target for scandal-making, despite his numerous charitable acts. Two brief marriages -- one to Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley -- were forged and two children produced by his second wife during that time, but the purposes were obviously image oriented. Despite it all, Michael Jackson's skills as a singer, dancer, writer and businessman are unparalleled, and it is these prodigious talents that will ultimately prevail over the extremely negative aspects of his seriously troubled life.

I have enjoyed watching Michael Jackson's career ever since he was a little boy with The Jackson 5. It was fantastic to see him take his awesome talent and evolve into an adult superstar who set trends and raised musical standards. Unfortunately, that handsome young man was facing inner demons and changed into the grotesque he is now, but that doesn't change the fact that his talent was unparallelled.

I have to admit that I am not nor have I ever been a fan of Michael Jackson except when he was very young. Used to love the duel between him and Donny Osmond, when he was a part of the Jackson Five and Donny sang with the Osmond Brothers. I have two songs of his on my hard disk...Ben--which I adore, and I'm Looking at the Face in the Mirror. And that's about it.

I know a lot of people have had bad things to say about Michael Jackson but he simply rocks! I see people throwing titles here and there on new entertainers that are in no way comparable to him. They often refer to him as the 'self-proclaimed' king of pop - correction, he IS the king of pop. Michael has done a lot of humanitarian work and obviously has a good heart but all I hear most people talk about is the bad. My favourite Jackson tunes are "Man in the Mirror", "Speechless", "Bad", well a lot of them actually.

I like his music. Just because he is weird, and he does his things with his life doesn't mean he is any less a person. I mean sure he's a bit different than other people, but um thats how he choses to live his life!

Michael Jackson had some awesome hits in the 1980's. Beat It, Billie Jean, Thriller. The Thriller video was one of the best music videos ever made in my opinion. I think it is sad that someone so talented is also so emotionally disturbed.

His hit 'heal the world" is full of humanity and fraternity. it's unbelievable that it come from a man accused of child abuse.
