[The KG9 Kid]

"... Genius? What?? The man had a little girl’s voice. He could neither play instruments nor write decent lyrics. His songs consist of simple vamps repeated over and over with some squealing on top of it, often bleating out the same syrupy fake message of how great it would be if we could all live together in hope & change. Whoop-de-do."

Well, you're really talking about the dwindling era of his career in describing that stage presence. I can still fondly look upon him in the Jackson 5 era before he became a freakshow. Don't go making yourself look ridiculous by claiming that Michael Jackson was a lucky nobody. He was a phenomenon as a teenager.

Love him or hate him, Michael Jackson had more talent at 11 years old that most practiced and rehearsed entertainers will ever have at the highest point in their career.

He owned the 1980s, and that's undeniable.

You left out the bit where Jacko was constantly grabbing and fondling his crotch on stage....

It was probably the only time he had his hands or attention on his own crotch...

Hoping the dead pedophile rots in hell.

So was Shirley Temple. So what?

The man could dance. Yippee.

The early 80s, which were so chock full of faddish crap that, musically, the era will hardly be remembered for anything else besides John Lennon being murdered.
