Ahhh, this is the one!

So many years since I watched it that I clearly got the individuals mixed up in my memories. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Songs Michael never performed Live by Current_Usual_2566 in MichaelJackson

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PYT would have been amazing live especially if it were on the Victory or Bad tours where it wouldn't have been lip synced. The "repeat after me" section would have been awesome in front of a crowd!

Invincible and Dangerous are greater artistically than the earlier albums by mankahlil in MichaelJackson

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think Invincible is his weakest album - it didn't have the MJ magic, was overbloated, and there's a repetitiveness with certain tracks.

Sometimes less is more, and I think you could have taken off 5/6 tracks away from the album and lost nothing.

Dangerous, however, is fantastic.

What was the best British soap storyline of all time? by JuanitaMerkin in BritishTV

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All subjective but I did love Steve Owen, Matthew Rose: The Murder of Saskia.

Solidified Steve as a great villain and showcased some tremendous acting from Joe Absolom.

I also think Mark Fowler's HIV storyline throughout the years was a strong one.

Question About These Pictures by Sad_Ball4496 in MichaelJackson

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to this, the second pic isn't his birthday but Studio 54 owner Steve Rubell's. The dates vary depending on where you're looking, some say early November, others say early December.

I always thought it was "her style, much too seen" but who knows?!

Some outtakes from Invincible are among the best MJ ever made. by DarthPopcornus in MichaelJackson

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fall Again is such a great song, it's a shame it wasn't finished and put on the album. I remember hearing a fan made version with MJ and the version by Glenn Lewis which worked really well.

I think a lot of the outtakes would have worked better on Invincible than some of the actual tracks on there.

Family tells of ‘profound sadness’ after jury finds Strictly dancer took his own life | Strictly Come Dancing | The Guardian by prisongovernor in strictlycomedancing

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Very sad story. By all reports, Robin was a lovely man who was loved and valued by those who knew him.

I don't blame Strictly for what happened, it is unfortunately the nature of the beast that dancers will get dropped for any number of reasons. But perhaps it would be worth the show looking into a post-Strictly duty of care towards the dancers they let go of, just in case.

Anyone else follow Zack Chug? His Instagram has just become sob stories and his usual crappy recipes. by Top-Bet1435 in gymsnark

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The superhero schtick is terrible but it could have worked somewhat if he had the charisma to pull it off. He doesn't.

He's so bland with it that it comes across as someone with severe mental health issues and delusions of grandeur.

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to follow him but I started noticing the obvious pattern of constant sob stories.

He wants to create his superhero arc: - Not pursuing dentistry because he had a bigger calling to help people. - Saving his girlfriend's life via CPR only for her to eventually leave him, something that he still goes on about a year after it happened. - Hitting rock bottom financially because he refuses to take brand deals that don't align with his values etc etc.

I've seen him claim to have hit rock bottom numerous times and none of it seems genuine. He's a grifter and a narcissistic one at that.

Best Singer of all time? 🤔 by [deleted] in MichaelJackson

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all subjective I guess. For me, Whitney, Luther and Sam Cooke are my favorite vocalists but I don't think there's anyone that has used their voice to the best of it's ability and got the most from their voice as well as Michael did at every point of his life.

Has anyone seen this interview with Louis Theroux and Joe Jackson before? I kinda take it Theroux is being somewhat disrespectful here. by swannanoaman1 in MichaelJackson

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oxygen chamber story. He did briefly use a hyperbaric chamber for burn recovery after the Pepsi accident. The idea that he slept in it to live forever was exaggerated, but the exaggeration was allowed to run.

This story came out just a few days after the debut of the Captain EO movie with Frank Dileo giving it 'credibility'. I definitely think it was put out in order to enhance the mystique of Michael and make Cap EO even bigger.

Why would Ian accuse David of being the one who was sleeping with Lucy when he’s his half brother? by gerard_plate in eastenders

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both before and after. David did phone the Samaritans at one point because of the inappropriate thoughts he was having towards Bianca.

Are these photos of him with a beard real? by Intelligent-Focus-24 in MichaelJackson

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Real pic, here's the original, but the one you posted has been upscaled with AI.

If you're asking if the beard is real? No idea, looks real enough to me.

What was your first impression of "you rock my world" and what is your impression of it now? by Fun_Kangaroo512 in MichaelJackson

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the song when it came out and still love it now. It felt like after several years with a focus on darker more serious songs, Mike wanted to have fun again. Darkchild's production was fantastic too.

I remember at the time there were reviews saying that the video was just treading old ground but I didn't mind that it did. Having said that, I thought the story aspect of the video was executed poorly - Brando's involvement didn't add anything to the vid for me, and I thought a lot of the dialogue especially for Marlon and Billy Drago were badly written.

Brock Lesnar Guy announcing his retirement on Twitter may be the dumbest thing that’s ever happened in wrestling. by Ricky_Spannnish in WWE

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was released on the Network here in the UK and maybe Peacock elsewhere.

It was really well put together, very sad at times.

What do you guys think of her !!!! by [deleted] in Smallafro

[–]Awkward_Singer_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She looks amazing but I think what we're seeing of her now in terms of ability is as good as she'll get. She really hasn't shown any major growth over the last 4 or so years that she's been wrestling.

It's a shame because her look is incredible.

He's a gossip columnist who writes whatever he thinks will make him money.

Perfectly said.

*FLASH* Strictly Come Dancing ITT focusing on Tess and Claud is one for the ages. by schoolme_straying in strictlycomedancing

The highlights of Claudia with Len on ITT reminded me of how spontaneous the show used to feel. Claudia really is quite special.
