What the fvck are you on about? While MJ's death made him even more popular, you can't deny that he was and still is the most popular person to ever.

Leave that guy to be arguing with himself. To me, Michael Jackson remains the best thing that happened to the entertainment industry, and also one of the greatest humans to have walked the earth. I remember how internet sites crashed on the day he died.

well, there was social media but its wasnt this rampant.

CR7 is still the most popular and has online fanbase greater than the population of Nigeria and that is not all of his fans, having a fan base that triple CR7 followers is like having 10% of the world population as ur followers, MJ cannot pull that

MJ didn't have that much fan bruh

Guy, make u talk wetein u know oh. do you think MJ was on IG? Did you know when he died, his hashtag trended so much on Twitter that it froze twitter?

Comparing MJ's fame to that of Ronaldo is such a let down.. till date, no one has ever come close to having the kind of Fame MJ had.. MJ was honored by presidents, governor's and even queen Elizabeth herself..

A man that lands on an airport and it gets completely choked up if his arrival is leaked..

Infact I no want argue with u.. you know how many people committed suicide on hearing of his death?... He wasn't just a musical icon, he was a musical era..

It's such a pity that the world may never know anyone like him again. He was one of a kind. Michael gave out over 500 million dollars to charity, won 8 Grammy awards in one night, still remains the most decorated artiste of all time, wrote "We Are The World" alongside Lionel Richie, which earned $63 million for famine relief in Africa and the United States, etc. He undoubtedly remains the greatest entertainer of all time. On 25th June, 2009, Michael died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication at his home. He was 50 years old. Keep on resting King of Pop.

You are a legend and you will continue to be a legend Miko.....

But truth be told, you killed yourself just because you want to belong....

Beyonce, jay z, west and co are black and they are great musicians today and have also written their name in gold in the history of music....

RIP

What "truth"??

Trying to "belong" to what?

If you think he was deliberately turning his appearance to be one white? Better think again.

He suffered from vitiligo, a skin condition that makes the skin lose all pigmentation in patches.

He was forced to deal with it in the only way he could and still maintain a public image.

Except wearing heavy makeup which can run or rub off because of his vigorous dance routine.

"Jay Z" this, "Beyonce" that.

You forget that:

Stevie Wonder
Billy Ocean
Lionel Ritchie
Tina Turner
JAMES BROWN!!!!
Eddie Murphy
Prince

And many more belong to his generation and they were all famous.

In 1993 Michael Jackson faced a worsening moment of his life career has a world greatest icon. The child abuse allegation wage against by a White woman called Jordy Chandler for having sexual intercourse with his son which Jackson denied. This nearly ruin his career but he was vindicated at last after losing so much endorsement and trust.
Though 80% of the world believe Jackson was saying the truth and can't do such things to a little child.
He was fined by court and he paid the mother and the son a whopping thousand of dollars as a consolation.
Michael Jackson said that was the most unhappy and most devastating moment of his life. Especially his bad experience with White American policemen how they rough handled him and denying him from seeing his doctors.

Wacko Jacko the Pop Music Maestro !!!
Not surprised this made FP(FRONTPAGE)....

my best song in his TRILLER Album is
BEAT IT.

[center]"Beat It"
[b]They told him, "Don't you ever come around here.
Don't wanna see your face. You better disappear."
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

[Chorus]
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it [4x]

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it

You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you, then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

[Chorus 2x]
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it

Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

[Chorus 3x]
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it[/b][/center]

Michael Jackson, the singer with no equal.

He gave himself up for his passion.

Many people thought he was not proud of his colour, so he changed to white. They don't know that Michael was a proud black, but was battling a skin disease at the time called vitiligo. It was made public only after his death.




Everyone has his/her own secret struggles.

Don't judge anyone too quickly, you don't know their secret struggles.



Modified: I see ignoramus calling him wacko Jacko. That was a mockery name given to him by the bad press!
Respect Michael. Don't call him that!

If you love Michael Jackson don't call him "Wacko Jacko"

Thanks for the info.

In the eye's of many, he was a superb, a hero, the man of the people, a legend and the best ever.

But in the eye's of God, was he any close to the above mentioned? I don't know, neither do u but only God knows.

No matter what we do in life, how many achievement we've won, the most important thing is our relationship with God because at the end that will be the only thing that will count.

Stop showing your Toxic Ignorance on a public sphere...That nick was given to him based on his great acts and because his surname was JACKSON.
FYI most of his Huge Asian Fans were known to use this nick name on stage his Asian Tour since it was easier to pronounce than his real names.

You're the wrong one here and the guy you quoted was right
SMH @you Felixamos ....you that can't even figure out profile gender is given an opinion.? Just wow.

It's one thing to be ignorant, it's another to hate wisdom.. "wacho jacho" was a name of mockery filled with so many controversies.. there was nothing good about the name..

Ngwa "Mr I to know", use your phone and Google search "why is Micheal Jackson called wacho jacko".. come back and appologice for being stupidly ignorant..
