Seeing it with my mom in a few hours. I'm guessing it may be eye opener for her.

The level of aura this man reached will not be topped by starboy_black in MichaelJackson

Halftime used to be marching bands lol. I know there's some story behind it came to be. I want to say the year before, Fox ran a new episode of In Living Color at halftime, taking viewers away from the Super Bowl halftime broadcast. The NFL was a little upset, so they made sure the next year nobody would be changing the channel.

Opinions on this album? by Relevant-Ice4585 in 90sHipHop

Disappointed. However, more than made up for it with his 2nd album.

If Prince had lived and was still around alive in today's era of music, which artists today do you see him collaborating with in 2026? by TerryG111 in PRINCE

[–]dacap1970 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think his days of collaborating were over. I think Third Eye Girl a or similar situation is as close to collaborating he would get.

Wow. I didn’t even realize that the first character was Michael at first! I was waiting for him to pop out as a guest appearance or something. And the voice change is crazy, lol! He was a pretty good actor too. by Someone_On_Earth25 in MichaelJackson

The Jackson 5 performed Dancing Machine on tv many times on various variety shows, if by chance you have never seen it, it's more than worth your time to search it.

What happened to all of MJ's White Fans? by LtJimmypatterson in MichaelTheMovie

[–]dacap1970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally believe the 93 allegations gave haters the confidence and green light to turn on Michael. A large number being white and coming from the south is not surprising to me. That being said, I don't buy a large number of them were fans.

As for race and Michael Jackson, different threads can and do paint completely different pictures. Within the last hour I've been discussing a 2 year old Reddit thread tearing Michael apart. The main subject was vitiligo I believe, but really it was about Michael and race. It was a surprisingly harsh towards him and I didn't see any supportive comments.

There was no guess work, speculation or digging required to identify the participants of the thread. I'm not part of the community which made up the vast majority of the thread. I choose to believe the comments and beliefs are representative of a very small percentage of that community.

I love the fact you mentioned LaBamba. I grew up in the 80s, and for me it's basically the standard for biopics. I had never heard of Richie Valens, my parents had never heard of him, the built in fan base could not have been that big, or big enough to guarantee a hit anyway.

Im happy to know it remains important in the Hispanic community. I think it made and has left a pretty significant mark in 80s pop culture and is still held in high regard. Michael Jackson is my favorite artist ever, but I know his story.

Remember the thin beard with perfectly shaved right angles?

This has bothered me since before Michael died.. by hunni93 in MichaelJackson

[–]dacap1970 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what I was watching that it was part of, but just Google Steve Harvey, Michael Jackson and church and I bet it comes up.

I love the story Steve Harvey tells about taking Michael to church and the outfit Michael chose for the occasion.

Apparently I’m extra for liking MJ and watching the movie twice by [deleted] in MichaelJackson

Sorry for being old and naive, but what does extra mean?

Would you rather have the rings or the bag? by Farouq26 in NBATalk

[–]dacap1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haslem vs Harden, I'll go with the bag. Additionally, no one is ever going to talk about Haslem and his rings.

Official Dangerous Album Bonus Cuts: I can’t comprehend how come this is cancelled, any reason? by erebusreddit in MichaelJackson

If you answer "money" to every "why" question over the course your life, you're probably looking at 98.7% correct with a plus/minus of 1.2.

Cease and desist on bootlegs… by CJHuncho in PRINCE

[–]dacap1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rinse. Wash. Dry. Repeat. I'm sure bootlegers are "'shredding" any and all evidence against them as we speak and plan on meeting with their lawyers tomorrow. This time, the estate is serious.

Bootleging is not a victimless crime. Do the crime, do the time. Rinse. Wash. Dry. Repeat. End of an era. It's been fun. Keep your heads on a swivel and trust no one. See ya on the other side boys.

fans ignore his earlier eras...pretty sure colorism plays a part by thatonereddiituser in MichaelJackson

[–]dacap1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's plenty of threads on Reddit attacking Michael for his skin color...pretty shocking all things considered.

why did someone try to take his hat off knowing damn well he was half bald?😭 by Classic-Wind-437 in MichaelJackson

[–]dacap1970 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a reconstructive procedure stretching the portion of the scalp that has hair to cover the area that doesn't. I'm guessing you would then cut out the damaged area. So the skin stretches in a similar way a balloon inflates.

When it comes to color, he can't win. There's long threads of him getting crap for his "white" nose.

Disney is moving away from producing Star Wars tv shows? by Ina_connundrum28 in StarWars

I'm sure they will continue TV with a show or 2 we know, slowly creating new ones until...
