Sweden Loves MJ.

That was pretty damn amazing! Gotta love what MJ has done for dance

It's amazing how many bystanders were able to just jump in and dance like that!!!!

Almost brought me to tears, it did. To me, it spoke volumes about how much influence this man has had on the world, with his dancing, and music.

Very cool.

I've always loved the "flash-mob" concept, as long as it's peaceful. As far as MJ's contribution to dance, he had some moves but others perfected them

Originally Posted By: unsupervisedAs far as MJ's contribution to dance, he had some moves but others perfected them Wow you must really have some hatred for MJ, because that comment is far beyond true. No one has been able to do MJ's move better than him and there never will be anyone. And this is not really just directed at you Mr. U, but what I find insanely crazy how people can deny what MJ has done for music, pop culture, dance, and his humanitarian side simply because of an allegation that he was never found guilty of. Just because a person is alleged of doing something does not cancel out all the other great things a person has done in their life.I’m not MJ’s biggest fan, I only own a few of his CD’s but what I hate the most is how people can be callous enough to ignore all the good he has done regardless of the negatives. There is so much people don’t even realize that he’s done in the short 50 years he was alive on Earth. I know people had issues with the live Memorial Service this past Tuesday, but if people took the time to actually watch the service I think they might have a better understanding of who MJ really was and all the contribution he gave.Like with OJ Simpson, yes I truly believe he is guilty of murder, BUT I will never take away he was a great football player and the contributions he’s done for the game. Regardless of what I feel he might have done, I cannot deny the positives he’s done in his life.Anyways I’m done “preaching” I suppose, it just frustrates me when I see people be so negative to someone who yes had his faults, but also had his positives that people just refuse to acknowledge. Rant off

I'm just five years older than you but to my post-thriller, pre-whatever else he did generation, regardless of what he may have contributed, MJ was never anything more than a punchline to a joke. Micheal, to my age group, was a joke even before the kiddie allegations. So much so, that I don't think anyone ever took anything he did with any seriousness or artistic merit. I still can't hear anything by him without cringing.

But we also have to be aware that it couldn't happen if there weren't people out there gullible enough to swallow everything the media spoon-feeds them, and who could instead think for themselves.

Amen to that!

he contributed to pop culture, no denying that

all I can say is watch some youtube videos of moon walking. MJ was terrible at it compared to a lot of armature street dancers

I disagree.You need to watch more MJ music vids.

ohhhh, no I don't. I've been inundated by them since before you were born lol

To illustrate that many people are much better at shit like moon walking I went to find Alanis on you tube doing it, instead I came across this. You of all people that i know should appreciate someone with real talent singing a bullshit fucktard song.Aside from her playing god in Dogma, she always looks like she is bat shit fucking crazy. Her voice gives me fucking wood. Not real hot in that video but look at her in any other, especially the live video from 1995 at this link

I've seen that video before, it's pretty funny. But on to the topic, I have yet to see anyone so the moonwalk better than MJ. I have seen people add their own flair, style, etc to the moonwalk but when it comes to the real moonwalk in the original style no one was been able to out do MJ.Oh and Alanis Morrisette rocks me world.. just thought I'd add that

I guess I have to go on a you tube search now. With a bit of luck I can find someone comparable to a kid I saw in a video of a street competition years ago. You'd almost swear he was hanging by a string, running forward while traveling backward. Infinitely smoother than MJI'll always have a soft spot in my heart and a hard part in my pants for Alanis

Know what makes me cringe?Giving him credit not due to him.Ever hear of Bill Bailey?I watch and lsiten to alot of old shit, drives my wife batshit.Bill Baily and fucking Fred astaire, They both did versions of it, but long before that, bill fucking baily did it at the apollo, on film in 1955. He stole it from before him. Sammy fucking davis Jr did it before MJ was even a gob of juice being shot from his dads balls, and he was far from the original.In the 80s a guy named Cooley Jaxson, who appeared in a few MJ videos and was a solid gold dancer and in teh breaking movies, he taught Mikey how to do it.Now I am far to busy working on some shit to make money to go searching for it all, someone else can do that, I am currently ont he phone explaining that I am not going to pay the 16 fucking grand this prick wants for the trailer, I said 9 grand max, but Ill go as high as 12 to get the fucker, someone elese research it, I can not type and talk at teh same time as I keep typing what Im saying.
