>musicianship
He was the music equivalent of a system quarterback, can perform well as long as he was just following instructions and not having to come up with anything original. If he didn't come out in the early days of MTV then he would be another forgotten performer

If Walter Yetnikloff hadn't threatened to pull all his artists if MJ didn't get airplay.
Isaac Watson
You fucking kidding? He choreographed his shows from start to finish. The dances were his. And he was a good singer too.
Aaron Powell
So he was a good dancer and a singer, that makes him a good performer, not a good musician
MJ to my knowledge didn't write his own music, pretty much nobody in pop or RnB ever does
Sebastian Ward
Yeah, his musicianship is in his vocals, which were totally perfect every time he performed.
Chase Williams
He did write, he just didn't play any instrument with any competency. There's that demo that's been floating around where he sang all the parts of the song, to get the idea down, for Quincy to replace with musicians.
The dude was in music since he was a little kid, he knew how to make it. He has a LOT of help (Quincy) polishing it, but he knew how to create melody.
Leo Reed
I've heard over the years he copied his choreography from anyone he could. He would watch old movies and concerts and such, and rework stuff into his act. That doesn't mean he wasn't talented - he was, but everyone acts like he invented everything from scratch - he didn't. He was like anyone else, he stole, borrowed and bought as much as he could, and then repainted it and called it his own.
William Gray
Corporate sterile mall music created to sell soda water, no substance to speak of. And he fucked kids and was a piece of shit
Robert Wilson
that sounds like your opinion foo
Christopher Morris
No, it's all true
Alexander Wright
>didn't write his own music
wrote quite a few songs actually
>not a good musician
singing is musicianship
Elijah Carter
fuck off Jermaine
you got the money, so shut up
Hunter Martinez
did the tv tell you that
William Roberts
can perform well as long as he was just following instructions and not having to come up with anything original.
Came up with his own dance moves so he wasn't following instructions in that respect. And there has never been another Michael Jackson, before or after. He was an original.
Ryder Cook
No, the tv told me to buy his music (and pepsi!). I didn't listen
Colton Campbell
that same tv and media tells you hes a pedo 24/7 since the 90s
Grayson Butler
lies
all lies
the entire media is lying
Cameron Bell
is a huge possibility in combo with everything known about him
Carson Bennett
he was responsible for this masterpiece you stupid NIGGER
youtube.com
Luis Mitchell
Probably because lip synching was the norm back in the day
Juan Walker
Kid butt touch peepee
Carter Jones
There will never be another time when he was literally the only black man with a music video being played on repeat on MTV. Put in a decade later and he would be pretty irrelevant
Adrian Cooper
Total ledge.
Kevin Miller
There will never be a time when a music video is played on MTV again, period.
Wyatt Long
>black man
he was more than just his skin colour
Camden Young
Nigga pedo
Dominic Nelson
hmm, yeah
Jayden Sullivan
When Micheal Jackson came out "Best Colored Song: that still a category at the grammys
Asher Rogers
>There's that demo that's been floating around where he sang all the parts of the song
???
Nathaniel Stewart
John Phillips
thriller as an album is horribly overrated
wouldn't call him the king of pop but, i think he's pretty good
Asher Roberts
now tell the nice people how Steve Lukather came up with the signature riff of that song
