What will Michael Jackson be remembered for?

Discuss.

His music obviously.

I think his music. People get more popular once they die, and his music is still being played everywhere. When you talk about MJ, the controversy and everything is rarely brought up anymore and even though it will still be there, his music will be what he's primarily remembered for.

I hope that made sense. :| All nighter =/= coherency

I will remember him for his music and his dance moves.

I'd like to remember him for his music mostly.

Whenever I hear someone say Micheal Jackson, a mental image pops up in my head of him in his white suit and hat, yelling out "OOOHH!!" in a high pitched voice while simultainiously grabbing his crotch and moonwalking. Once this has occurred his song Smooth Criminal begins to play. So that.

Unfortunately, I think that, in the future, people will look at him for his assault charges. What a lot of people don't see, however, is that there were only two official charges. I can't remember the exact years, but I think they were 1994 and 2003. I find it so sad that, whenever there's a mention of child abuse in the local media, someone makes a reference to Michael. Basically, his career will (or, rather, was) never be the same as it once was, simply because of the incident. Combine that with all the ignorant, hypocritical people who change opinions just like that, and you draw this upsetting conclusion. He is the King of Pop, and I hope that he will be forever. He, in my mind, is the greatest singer, dancer and performer.

People whose careers will never be the same due to an incident:

Shane Warne, Wayne Carey, Ben Cousins, Tiger Woods, Chris Brown, OJ Simpson, Mike Tyson

Honestly speaking, he will be remembered for his awesome dance moves. You gotta admit MJ is that good. And also, his singing. His "Thriller" album being number 1 pretty explains it.

The music and the personal controversy will obviously both be remembered.

If the man had been just a little eccentric, the music would be remembered without the oddness, but he was extremely eccentric and like it or not, he was accused of child molestation. People don't simply forget something like that.

Personally I will remember him for 2 things.

Captain EO

This used to be at Disneyland and was a 3D mini-movie. Was alot of fun when it came out

Scary Movie 3 I guess

His music.

MJ will be remembered for his music.

"Beat it....no one wants to be defeated...."

"Cause this is Thriller...."

"Billy Jean's not my lover...."

Greatest album of all times in my opinion...

MJ will also be remembered for his dancing as well...

A great entertainer and one of the greatest of all in the music industry.

Drinking Jesus Juice with little boys in bed and great music. Both.

When I think of him....I think of the molestation charges...LJS9502_basic

this

I know I won't be remembering him for his music.Lonelynight

do you change your sig on an hourly basis?

Thriller.

I'll remember him for "Liberian Girl" and other timeless classics he's made as part of the Jackson 5 and as a solo artist.

Others will remember him for all the whacko jacko nonsense from the 90s up until his death.

Racially confused, liked kiddies. (That's just how i see it)

All of the above? But mostly his music and moonwalk dance.

Most of the world will remeber his music but I will remember him for the freak that he was.

You first, you opened the thread without any discussion.:P:lol:

On-topic: his music.

His music one of the greatest ever.

The greatest entertainer of all-time, seeing as how that's already how he's remembered.SmittyPeppers

▲ His pedophilia, imo. ▲

I sort of agree with this.

If we are talking about greatest performer, than yeah, I'd give it to Michael. He has the most on-stage charisma. Even Elvis doesn't beat him in that department.

But all around entertainer? No way. His recordings are really not any better than any of the other great pop artists.

I'd go as far as to say that Michael's music is not all that interesting. It's catchy, its polished, the melodies are strong. But it lacks the experimentation of Prince or post-80s Madonna. It's too safe.

And his musical catalogue sure does not have the breadth and scope or quality of The Beatles catalogue.
