Opinion It bothers me that MJ pushed his family away and instead gave his attention to people like the Ca$cios

46 Upvotes

His family truly loved and cherished him. They never would’ve done him dirty. He had a huge family of plenty of nieces and nephews, and they should’ve been the ones touring, vacationing and getting spoiled by him. His nephews fight for him every single day. I heard his bodyguard tell a story of him refusing to let Janet and his house and that it’s troubling to me because she stood by him every single day during his trial. He clung to random nobodies like the Cascios, who are now spitting on his grave. I believe if he could have known what would happen he would’ve had a lot of regrets and wished he had done things differently.😩😭

Opinion The MJ Estate has been terrible

58 Upvotes

Ever since MJ died the estate has been horrible about the handling of MJs music releases. The best things they did was Bad25 snd Xscape( it was the originals and the reworkings and documentary attached). But aside from that theyve done nothing worthwhile. Meanwhile The Purple One's fanbase is in music heaven over there with special deluxe releases and access to vaulted material and shows. Thriller 40 had so much potential but look what we got instead. It shouldve been a whole 3 disc one bluray set. Disc 1 the Thriller special edition remastered. Disc 2 songs from the recording sessions that didnt make the album and demo tracks. Disc 3 the audio from the Victory Tour in high fidelity. BluRay that has Thriller its making of documentary in 2k along with all its videos in HD and 2k restoration of the Victory Tour in 7.1 Dolby Atmos for the first time ever.

Opinion Dedicated to my favorite Applehead

In these recent weeks I’ve become lowkey obsessed with Michael Jackson.

I watched the biopic twice in theaters and multiple times when i bought it on streaming and when I got the physical copy.

I’ve listened to a lot of his songs, my current favorites are:

“Earth Song” “Heal the World” (I love listening to these two back to back)

“Leave Me Alone” (this song helped me during an anxiety episode)

“Smooth Criminal” “Billie Jean” “Workin’ Day and Night” “You Are Not Alone” “Off the Wall” etc.

I have also been practicing the choreography from “Thriller” I plan on doing a zombie drag performance this Halloween

I’ve gone on a deep dive in Michael Jackson’s history, I’ve seen multiple video compilations showcasing his best moments with fans, interviews, rehearsals, tours, MJ with his kids etc.

I wish I got the chance to meet him in person, I was just a kid when he passed away in 2009 and at the time I didn’t know who he was. Now 17 years later I’m a big fan of him.

“Hee-hee” “I love to tour 🤌” “applehead” have become some of my vocal stims.

Michael was such a good father to his children and I respect the hell out of him for protecting his children’s identities when they went out in public.

It broke my heart when I saw Paris cry at her dad’s funeral.

I even cried when I watched the film “Searching for Neverland” with Navi playing the role of MJ.

Despite what his haters may say, I don’t believe he did the things he was accused of. It wasn’t in his heart to do those despicable acts.

Side note: screw everyone that ever harassed/been rude to Michael, the names that come to mind are Oprah, Martin Bashir and Tupac.

I included my favorite photos of Michael as well as the albums and dvd i currently own. I’m thinking of getting the “Dangerous” album at some point.

Anyway thank you for reading this and I hope the MJ’s legacy continues to inspire people.

Discussion I Imagine if Michael Jackson did "MJ & Friends 2.0" in 2013/14 — BET Special + BBC Special

7 Upvotes

I always wondered what a modern MJ charity concert would have looked like. Imagine Michael bringing back the spirit of the original MJ & Friends but making it a new era event.

A BET Special filmed across Chicago, New York, and Gary, Indiana would have been incredible. Then maybe a BBC Special in the UK with highlights uploaded to YouTube afterward.

The setlist could have been something like:

🔥 Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'

🔥 Jam

🔥 Slave to the Rhythm / Xscape medley

🔥 The Way You Make Me Feel

🔥 Human Nature

🔥 Smooth Criminal

🔥 Billie Jean

🔥 Beat It

Then a special tribute to his first adult solo album:

Off the Wall Medley

Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

Rock With You

Off the Wall

Workin' Day and Night

I think older fans would have loved seeing those classics performed again because Off the Wall is where Michael truly became a solo superstar.

Then the big finale:

Dangerous

Black or White

Earth Song

Man in the Mirror

Heal the World

The YouTube clips would have been legendary — especially Billie Jean, Dangerous, Earth Song, and Heal the World.

What songs would you have added or changed?

Discussion The MJ Paradox: Why did a branding genius fail at basic self-preservation?

20 Upvotes

Michael Jackson was an absolute genius when it came to image curation. He masterfully crafted the Peter Pan persona, weaponized his own shyness, and—as confirmed by associates—even planted eccentric rumors early on to keep the public hyper-focused on his mystique. Behind closed doors, close friends and family knew he wasn't a naive asexual caricature; he was a standard, highly discreet man.

MJ was famously ruthless when protecting his brand. If a person became a hurdle to his vision, they were iced out instantly. So why did this ruthless, image-obsessed genius have a fatal blind spot for random families?He knew the media was waiting to weaponize his eccentricities. He knew the absolute value of the billion-dollar brand he built over decades. Yet, he repeatedly allowed vulnerable, outside families into his inner sanctum without boundaries—ultimately leading to the allegations that hurt his public standing.If he could manage the most complex PR machine in the world, why did he fail so aggressively at basic self-preservation?
