So i've just discovered something called vouguing. Or at least I think it's called that, not entirely sure.

WTF did I just watch

I understand what waffles is talking about to an extent. Prince has like 40 albums out there, but odds are the general public wouldn't be able to name 4 of them without googling. But if you asked the same question about Michael Jackson most people can start naming a majority of his discography. Though, that is just what comes with being the most influential pop act to ever exist... so I can see why the comparison might be a bit unfair.

How hard is it to remember 6 shitty, over hyped (including the greatest hits) solo albums tho?

I think I just read that Thriller was a shit album.

You did indeed.

Even if everyone who remembered his music as "shitty," it would still be memorable. So what does that say about someone who has released more content, and has less memorable material from both a bad perspective and positive one? Of course this is just playing with the idea that Michael's music is "shitty," which evidently isn't the truth.

It says the music buying populace at large likes its music bland and easily digestible.

1. "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" SHIT
2. "Baby Be Mine" SHIT
3. "The Girl Is Mine" (with Paul McCartney) SHITE
4. "Thriller" UNHOLY SHIT
5. "Beat It" SHIT
6. "Billie Jean" SHIT
7. "Human Nature" - Aight
8. "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" - Eh...
9. "The Lady in My Life" BORING SHIT

To get this, after the Holy Offering the was Off The Wall was an affront to my delicate nature. Add to the fact that it was overplayed to death, everywhere, and you had to watch the making of Thriller every time the Thriller video came on... UGH! The 80's were a trying time children, trying in the extreme.

What exactly is bland about Thriller? Most of the songs on there tell a story, and have great production. The album is pretty ground breaking in its delivery, and the era is iconic to pop history.

Maybe you find them bland because most of Michael's music lacks the perverse tone of Prince's discography?

All I know is that Madonna stole it (as per) from gay men, and brought it to the general public.

waffle, you've been dethroned already.

edit: i agree with the thought that MJ wasn't as great or creative as he is often made out to be but these songs are not THAT bad. thriller is a fantastic album.

They're anything BUT flawless right now.

MJ's genius and Thriller's impact are undeniable. It goes beyond whether or not you even personally use it. The sheer influence and impact cannot be denied without looking absolutely crazy...

Well, when JHud is actually using her mix properly I think she CAN have a bigger voice than Bey. The Broadway songs she did for this season of Smash were a HUGE step up for her over Dreamgirls. She's matured a lot. Surprised me.

But let me stop before Mumei comes and clocks me. We all know how much he loves Beyonce.

Besides, I was there for Anika Noni Rose, who really clocks them both. #TheaterTraining

I think Jennifer does have a bigger and heavier voice than Beyonce (and Mariah and Christina and some other people). The problem is that she has no idea how to use it, especially in the upper belt. Her G5 was completely covered by average Eb5 from Beyonce at one point, and that shouldn't happen when she has a bigger and heavier voice.

And Anika didn't clock them both. She needs to get her ears checked, and one screechy mixed C6 does not a clocking make.

I love you, ITZ.

You're actually the one I RIHlate the most. IDK why. You and Bladenic. You both are so flawless and amazing.

Why is iT that the Fighters are the best peeps around?!?! Why can't the #Navy be this amazing?

I mean DMJ is angry (but if you picture him as Snow its cute!), and Im high all timE. Although Trigger is like a phucking Saint and Cory is so normal and well grounded. Which is why he was paid DUST at the nicest member noms ;___; But I love Cory I need him to know that!!!

Also, Cory is from Philly. Of course he's flawless.

Trig is pretty flawless too though.

Lots of competition in that category. No CLEAR winner....unlike the 2000 Best New Artist Grammy race.

preacH. i was shocked when he wasn't nominated.

I agree. Cory is like vanilla. Flaw-free and normal, but still amazing. It is why he was paid dusT.

Speaking of which, Nicole did a rendition of "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" recently for an Andrew Loyd Weber tribute and decided not to employ that faux rock vocal she likes to use from time to time (which wouldn't have been appropriate anyway).

What do you think?

I'm actually liked the clarity she had with her belts.

Songs have been telling stories for eons, MJ did nothing new there. My problem with MJ (and to the same extent Gaga) is that you can tell under the artifice, that there's actual talent there. But rather than use that talent to make music for the "music listener" you use it to make "music" for the "music consumer." So instead of making art, personal to you, you're marketing a product to be consumed by as many people as possible.

MJ as an artist left me unconvinced that what he was peddling was the real deal. Prince could have easily followed up Purple Rain with Purple Rain pt 2, but he threw out a curve ball (against the record company's wishes) and we got Raspberry Beret out of it. Did he lose a large portion of his PR audience? Shit yes. But the better question is, did he care? Nope, not a lick.



Maybe you find them bland because most of Michael's music lacks the perverse tone of Prince's discography?

Maybe if MJ let some perversion into his music he wouldn't have had to molest cancer patients.

I don't think I even want to know what Robido does like. :(

That Nicole vocal was lovely. She should consider Broadway seriously.

It's a testament that maybe her output should be managed more closely, as opposed to chasing that pop stardom. The only vocals I've enjoyed from her thus far have been mainly ballads from her non-solo albums and most of these side-project undertakings, like her stint in Rent.
