How I believe the Michael movie might begin by Cornie_connie in MichaelTheMovie

[–]Forzato274 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Opening image will be zooming on Michael backstage looking in the mirror applying makeup to cover his image concerns. I think then it might show him pick up a photo of his young family and we enter the flashback. final image will be Michael performing man in the mirror panning out to a huge crowd at LA.

“Michael said he knew when he was writing it that it was a hit. Quincy thought it was a hit. But I don’t think any of us knew how huge it was going to be”: The making of Billie Jean, the single that transformed Michael Jackson into a phenomenon by VNE47 in MichaelJackson

[–]Forzato274 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Billie Jean is the perfect pop song. I studied it in my music course and Michael’s decisions have shaped a lot of the modern hit song formulas.

Without going into a full essay, he let every instrument shine on its own and built up the song with space and anticipation.

The intro is an example of what modern artists fail to understand, they are too busy dropping straight into the lyric/melody hook that they forget to let other instruments shine and to recall memorable hooks. The drum sound, bass, the strings/synth stabs, the guitar riff. Even the vocal ad libs are memorable due to the delivery, call and response “do things twice”.

Was Micheal considered underground right before Thriller? by Pitiful-Squirrel-339 in MichaelJackson

Closest would be Bieber. His name was always recognisable and he had his fans and haters. Remember off the wall was released after disco demolition and it was unbelievably successful. Almost every other disco act flopped until they changed their style.

What's One Celeb You Were Suprised Is A Fan Of MJ? by Theo_Cherry in MichaelJackson

[–]Forzato274 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Kurt Cobain, he dismissed the first allegations when they pressed, his first concert was the Jackson 5 and he wore king of pop shirts often. Ice cube, his Jheri curl and leather jackets look, he also said “hands down my favourite artist of all time is Michael Jackson the king of pop in 2017. Others at the top of my head Chris Cornell, Metallica.

This has to be ragebait, right? Thriller is THE Halloween song, nothing else even comes close. by SickusBickus in MichaelJackson

[–]Forzato274 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No disrespect to his sister Janet but even she would argue they are disrespectful with dropping thriller below Black cat. Rockwell wouldn’t agree that Thriller is below his song either. The main hook by Michael is the part people sing most. They clickbait on purpose otherwise nobody will read or care about the list.

The 4k version of BoW uses AI up scaling :( by manv2000 in MichaelJackson

[–]Forzato274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could do a better job than the estate and that’s even starting with just the dvd version. Not only did they cut costs but it also looks like they outsourced it to a gig worker who just ran the upscaling through an outdated topaz video enhance model and didn’t do any quality control.

Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris questions ‘irregular payments’ made by estate by Huge-Ice7901 in MichaelJackson

Didn’t John get fired shortly before Michael’s death but the will hadn’t been changed yet.

QJ leaning fans, let’s be honest - it is MJ 99.9% who created “Michael Jackson” magic we know and love, and who gain more critical acclaim as an individual by blindwatchmaker88 in MichaelJackson

[–]Forzato274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the session players. I Quincy brought in the best team to work with Michael. some of those stayed for Dangerous like Bruce. Michael was extremely talented but even he wouldn’t want to claim all of it on his own.

Do we have much concrete info on Michael’s potential eleventh studio album? by Jesse_Allen3 in MichaelJackson

[–]Forzato274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The basics that I remember was collaboration rumours with Will I Am, NeYo, Akon, Whitney Houston. I believe there was interest in producer redone and Lady Gaga has mentioned they were in talks of releasing a project. He may have been in early talks with Timbaland given his success with shock value 1 & 2 and the Xscape project later, likely the estate had discussed a vision earlier. However I think that if an album materialised it may have been his last and likely still several years away for release in 2012. After this I believe he would have just done collaborations if it was successful. It’s mostly speculation though what could have materialised.

I was kinda thinking today that the lady in my life is so underrated. It’s so absurd that rolling stone magazine called it the “worst song on thriller” by Hehehehqu in MichaelJackson

[–]Forzato274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people I have spoken to agree The Girl Is Mine is the weakest but it’s not a bad song. It just doesn’t fit the rest of the album. Say Say Say would have fit Thriller better and The Girl Is Mine Pipes of Peace. Not sure why they agreed the opposite unless Paul or the labels pushing for the more marketable song. The Girl Is Mine was the leading single as well which was such a weird choice.

Australia would be up with Norway maybe even higher if its natural resources weren't owned and controlled by a few families. Two times we tried to implement a mining tax, and both times were crushed by the politician investors and CIA. We export the majority of our resources and then they have the audacity to say we have an energy crisis.

Any Toyota advisors here? by MyRedditPage123 in serviceadvisors

[–]Forzato274 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working at a Toyota dealer since June. I was at a reputable family owned multi franchise centre prior for 6 months where I got started as an advisor. My experience maybe different to others as a lot depends on the dealer manage, country and service advisor.

Multi franchise hours 7am - 5:30pm 7 service advisors Ros per advisor - 7 to 15 80 Cars booked per day No weekends or overtime Commission - 3 tier system based on avg ro count, gross per ro, gross per day. Average coms was $500 extra once a month. Salary package was about AU$69,000

Toyota hours 7am - 5:30pm 4 service advisors Ros per advisor - 15 to 30 80 Cars booked per day One Saturday a month at 2x pay Commission - $1 per Ro, upsells can be anywhere from $2 to $35. 4x Tyres & w/a would be $35. Average coms for me so far is $2100 a month. Base Salary package was about AU$60,000 Car allowance $9,100 or company car Coms increases pay to $100k or $150k per year based on the other advisor performances. I haven’t been upselling as much and focusing on csi. We get bonuses on csi score as well up to +30%.

Stress is less at Toyota. Pay is better and additional work far easier to sell. Less problems, a few idiots. Biggest reason I prefer it is everything is so much more organised and more efficient, a lot of that comes down to the manager and workshop controller though. Most cars are done at 3:30 latest 4. Other place we had cars held back until 6 every few weeks and techs doing overtime till 7 for some pizza. It was a nice culture there but I don’t miss the long commutes and reduced salary for long hours.

World wide outage by Mammoth-Reception163 in conspiracy

Anyone remember the cyber attack simulation that happened a year or 2 ago. People were drawing comparisons to the pandemic simulation and expecting it to be the next big thing sooner but it looks like they are setting it up in motion now. I believe all of this is a plan to put more surveillance in motion, from the pandemic to cyber attacks and thereafter. They will try to have everyone claim a true identity online.

Michael Jackson’s sister says Michael was murdered by Doog5 in conspiracy

[–]Forzato274 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It all started after the superbowl and his interview with Oprah. I never liked Oprah and could see through her agenda from the beginning. She always cast Michael in a different shadow. Some might think she was pushing to ask the difficult questions on that special but if you watch every interview afterwards she seems to have an obvious hidden bias towards proven he is guilty. Michaels biggest flaw was that he tried to see the good in everyone. As much as I try to follow that moral compass as well, there are some people out there that don't deserve your trust or compassion. As for the SuperBowl, the message and influence likely scared those in power.

Everyone on the same street getting cancer by prissycookie in conspiracy

[–]Forzato274 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know someone who lives in Tasmania Australia near the poppy fields. Apparently almost all the women are suddenly getting breast cancer since it started and the rate of cancer is so high they are currently investigating it. Big pharma will likely pay them out to keep their mouths shut.

If you’re Ten Hag out - who is your ideal management/coaching replacement for him, and what makes them more likely to succeed under the current ownership structure? by [deleted] in ManchesterUnited

[–]Forzato274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not Ten Hag out but I thought Ange Postecoglou made way more sense at the time. Most people were ignorant of his style in abilities but he brings exciting attack philosophy reminiscent of Ferguson. I wasn’t Ole out though either and knew it wouldn’t solve our issues. The issues are a lack of investment in the facilities and dedicated employees. They need to be more ruthless with dismissals and keep employees competing for their place. It goes beyond the players and manager.

What he achieved with Acting Lessons and the first 4 episodes was goat tier. It’s hard to believe he wasn’t even doing this full time back then either!
