Michael Jackson #61 - Forever Michael

Michael Jackson in een notendop

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009), dubbed the "King of Pop", was an American musician and one of the most commercially successful entertainers of all time. His unique contributions to music and dance, along with a highly publicized personal life, made him a prominent figure in popular culture for four decades.

He started a solo career in 1971, having made his debut in 1964 as a member of The Jackson 5. His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time, with four others — Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995) — among the best selling. He popularized several physically complicated dance moves, such as the robot and the moonwalk. He is widely credited with having transformed the music video from a promotional tool into an art form, with videos for his songs "Billie Jean", "Beat It" and "Thriller" making him the first African American artist to amass a strong crossover following on MTV.

A double-inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, his other achievements feature multiple Guinness World Records — including the "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time" — 13 Grammy Awards, 17 number one singles (including the four number ones with Jackson 5), and estimated sales of over 750 million records.[2] He was also a notable philanthropist and humanitarian who donated millions of dollars to 39 charities, and also raised money through his own Heal the World Foundation.

Jackson's personal life generated significant controversy. His changing appearance was noticed from the early 1980s, with changes to the shape of his nose and to the color of his skin drawing media publicity. He was accused in 1993 of child sexual abuse, although no charges were brought. He married twice, first in 1994 and again in 1996, and brought up three children, one of them born to a surrogate mother. In 2005, he was tried and acquitted of child molestation allegations; the singer cited monetary interest of some of parents and persecution out of vengeance. Jackson died at the age of 50 on June 25, 2009, in Los Angeles, California after suffering from cardiac arrest. His memorial service was broadcast live around the world.

Heuj OP

Vind Smooth Criminal zó tof, luister hem nu weer, maar mag niet meer zo hard, anders gaat de buurchinees klagen

Mijn favoriete videoclip van hem, boven Thriller.

Wel een hele goede inderdaad, vind hem vooral live heel goed, die choreografie

'Annie are you okay, are you okay Annie?'



Die choreografie is een van de beste ooit.

Wat ben je streng, belsen. Alsof slowchat hier in dit topic over MJ zovaak voorkomt...volgens mij niet?
En wat is precies slowchat, kan iemand mij dat uitleggen?

Even kijken of ik een note heb.
Nee dus.

Van Internet:

'Slowchat ontstaat wanneer twee of meer mensen het forum gaan beschouwen als een chatbox en in zeer korte tijd een topic volstouwen met de meest nutteloze onzin. Op dat moment is het voor die mensen allemaal heel leuk en gezellig, maar als andere mensen dan het topic proberen te lezen haken ze gegarandeerd halverwege af. Om de één of andere vage reden gebeurt het vaak 's nachts... '



Sluiten in de avonduren is een beetje overdreven overigens, maar goed.

Kappen DrDentz dus met je onzin.
