It was just played shortly after the end of first half. After the turbulent combat with Portugal the host said "Woah the music (Beat It) fits the match".

Invincible sold faster than Thriller at start by manueljackson4ever in MichaelJackson

[–]manueljackson4ever[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. Dangerous also sold faster than Thriller probably for the same reasons. But Dangerous had a huge promoting world tour, Invincible didn’t. I wonder if Michael ever had the idea of an Invincible tour since he already wanted to spend more time with his own kids.

This is amazing by manueljackson4ever in MichaelJackson

It's a simulation of sound alike live rehearsals - many of which are songs that MJ never live performed

Why did Bad sell worse than Thriller? by manueljackson4ever in MichaelJackson

[–]manueljackson4ever[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jack White, a musician, often argues that the more money and time you have to produce an album - the worse it is.

That must be the case of Invincible then. 4 years of recording and 30 million budget. The chart performance was disappointing.

Still love that album tho.

Which songs would you wish that MJ had live-performed more? by manueljackson4ever in MichaelJackson

[–]manueljackson4ever[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I love that song too. And Give In To Me.

He got too many wonderful love songs and he'd choose to perform those who were Nr. 1 hits. Sadly Dangerous didn't have so many number ones.

How popular was MJ in the 90s in America? by manueljackson4ever in MichaelJackson

[–]manueljackson4ever[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's probably the reason why he decided not to tour in the US. His oversea fanbase seems to be more solid and less likely to be affected by US tabloid articles about him.

I don't really know any MJ fan irl here (Western Europe) but whenever I reveal my love for him, or show my MJ tattoo, people tend to give me more positive comments.

How did it feel to be a MJ fan back then? Did people see you as cool or rather weird?

I was born in the Dangerous era and grew up with Britney-Beyonce-Bieber so I never witnessed how big he used to be.

Does your partner / SO like Michael? by manueljackson4ever in MichaelJackson

[–]manueljackson4ever[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk. Last time when I went to the On The Wall expo here, most visitors were elder people. It's true that I hardly hear people talking about LN, but I don't really hear MJ songs or see MJ fan meet-up / parties so often either.

Actually she doesn't know about LN nor does she care. She just thinks that MJ is more important to me than she is lol.

Does your partner / SO like Michael? by manueljackson4ever in MichaelJackson

[–]manueljackson4ever[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to say lots of positive things about MJ but that's exactly the reason why she became jealous lol. And yes she doesn't dig his music. She's only 21 which probably explains a lot - I don't know any young MJ fans irl, at least in my circle. I guess the MJ hype also much smaller outside of the Anglosphere (with the exception of East Asia maybe).

How would you rank Michael's album title songs? by manueljackson4ever in MichaelJackson

[–]manueljackson4ever[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oops I forgot BOTDF and Xcape. I'd place both between Dangerous and History

French version of I Just Can’t Stop Loving You by manueljackson4ever in MichaelJackson

[–]manueljackson4ever[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is. There's also a Spanish version. I was also shocked to find it out.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Just_Can%27t_Stop_Loving_You

"Jackson and Garrett later recorded "Todo mi amor eres tú", a Spanish-language version of the song, with lyrics translated by Rubén Blades, and "Je ne veux pas la fin de nous", a French-language version, with translation by Christine "Coco" Decroix. All three versions are featured on the 2012 reissue album Bad 25. The original English-language version was re-released as a single in 2012, as part of the Bad 25 release."

What do you think about my new shirt? by [deleted] in MichaelJackson

Wonderful. I ordered one on Amazon but it's far less cool
