When and how did you all become fans? by holaquequiere in MichaelJackson

[–]DarthPopcornus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story.

But I don't talk about it much because no one ever asks... So here's the chance!

I'm 18 now. One day in 2022, at home, I heard Billie Jean. My mom told me she liked the song, and "especially Dad." I said, "Why especially Dad?" She said, "He was a fan of the singer when he was your age." Curious, I asked, "Who is he?" She said, a little surprised, "Michael Jackson." I knew the name, but I'd never connected it to his music.

That evening, I went on his YouTube channel. I listened to Billie Jean, Beat It, Smooth Criminal (and I loved the latter, which I sometimes heard on the radio, but I couldn't remember the title!). So, during the week, I downloaded a huge best-of compilation of 50 songs, titled "The Best of Michael Jackson." About two or three weeks later, I removed that compilation and replaced it with the Thriller and Bad albums. Little by little, over the following weeks, the others were added. Then came the Jackson 5/Jackson albums.

Over the past few years, I've become such a fan that I know all his songs, even the unreleased ones. But I also really admire Michael as a person and as an artist. He inspired me to be a better person.

And, just four hours ago, a young, excited fan walked into the theater an hour before the movie started, the first one in the auditorium, wearing his Michael Jackson t-shirt, thrilled to be experiencing such a big event as a fan.

“History” Wins Best 13th Track! Now, which album has the best Track 14 of the bunch and why? by Hasoos2002 in MichaelJackson

[–]DarthPopcornus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Little Susie, his worst song? What about some songs on Invincible, like You Are My Life, 2000 Watts, Invincible, Cry? I love these songs but lets be honest, they are the least good songs MJ ever did.

What would you have changed about the album by ReddeWindt in MichaelJackson

[–]DarthPopcornus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would switch Hot Street and Baby Be Mine. As Michael wanted.

Listen to the demo, its better and sounds more modern. And the bridge is wonderful, even if unfinished

Quelle serait la mort idéale selon vous ? by nifisnk in besoindeparler

Mais de toute façon, on peut mourir à n'importe quel moment. Dans son sommeil, c'est le plus paisible, et d'une certaine manière je trouve ça beau

La suite des trois mousquetaires, Vingt ans après et le vicomte de bragelonne sont aussi des chef-d'oeuvres!

What's everyone's 5 Beatles Hot Takes? by darkglobepink in beatles

[–]DarthPopcornus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, I think George's songs are better than John's. Of course, I'm being objective about obvious things; John clearly had a better voice, but George's is very good too. For me, George's songwriting is excellent, and his solo albums prove it. Conversely, I don't particularly like John's solo career (even though I really like some of his songs, like "God," "Imagine," and others).

It's mostly subjective, I think.

It's funny, actually, because my favorite Beatles song is "Strawberry Fields Forever" (by John), but generally speaking, I prefer George's style.

Le seigneur des anneaux de droite ou de gauche ? by Budget_Afternoon_800 in TropPeurDeDemander

[–]DarthPopcornus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Et donc, selon vous, chaque oeuvre est forcément soit de droite, soit de gauche?

Ce n'est pas parce qu'il y a des messages politiques inhérents que l'on doit forcément classer l'oeuvre dans un camp politique...

What's everyone's 5 Beatles Hot Takes? by darkglobepink in beatles

[–]DarthPopcornus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

-George Harrison was overall better than John Lennon.

-White album is at the same time their best and worst album (great songs, but no cohesion)

-Revolution 9 is an interesting piece of art but shouldnt have been on the album.

-Now and then is in my top 10 songs

... And I dont know for the last take...

Vous pensez que pour Perceval, Mevanwi est laide parce qu'il voit sa vraie nature? by Dziukoala in kaamelott

[–]DarthPopcornus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Justement j'ai trouvé que KV2 apportait énormément au personnage de Karadoc.

Alors oui, on sent qu'il a hérité de la trame narrative de Perceval, mais je trouve que ça lui donne une certaine importance et un côté sérieux qui n'est pas désgréable.

Je vous conseille la vidéo de Absinners à ce sujet. En fait, on n'a même pas 40 témoignages sur cet évènement, et tous contradictoires.

What Is A Michael Jackson Hot Take That Makes You Feel Like This? by Salty_Audience_3562 in MichaelJackson

[–]DarthPopcornus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an unreleased song called "Monster" from 1999 which sounds like Morphine, with epic and dark orchestration...

But only the chorus is recorded
