Vote mj for pop music hall of fame!!!

I've never heard of this. How does it differ from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? Why do we need two?

Edit: just saw the other thread. The fact that Michael isn't already in suggests this is a load of nonsense. And it's publicly voted so any insignificant act will end up in there. I'll save my vote for now.

Yay!
We did it.:D
 
Is Michael for sure to be inducted now, or does he have to still be picked out of that group?:)
It sounds like he's officially inducted and they chose 15 of the 20 nominees for induction.
I'm really glad that the criteria is 1980-I had seen on their website that the cutoff was 1975 and was afraid he wouldn't make it, since "Ben" was really his only solo hit before 75. But "Off the Wall" would have made him get in, no matter what. :)

Glad to see that the Jackson 5 and Diana Ross are getting inducted at the same time too!

Fantastic although it's ridiculous that we have to vote for MJ to be inducted into the pop hall of fame. I mean he was the king of pop afterall.
 
Great job guys! And to those who doesn't know, The Jackson 5's ABC single has been inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame. It's the third Jackson 5 song being inducted after I Want You Back and I'll Be There. MJ's Off The Wall and Thriller albums has also been inducted in there. I hope the Bad album is the next pick.
 
"Michael Jackson is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame, the National Museum of Dance Hall of Fame, the UK Music Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Jackson’s heirs can now add another hall of fame to the late singer’s list of honors – he was the biggest vote-getter among this year’s inductees to America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame, which is based in Washington County. The newest batch of inductees was announced late last week.

In fact, Jackson is getting in twice, as both a solo artist and as a member of the Jackson Five, the group he was in with his brothers Marlon, Jermaine, Jackie and Tito.

The Jackson Five has been nominated previously to America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame, but in online voting by the public, the group “rode in on Michael Jackson’s coattails evidently,” according to Terry Hazlett’s, the pop hall’s executive director and the former borough manager of Canonsburg."
