I have no clueBut what does that have to do with the "King of Pop" title??
Actually, several other artists have come very close to claiming that title, and certain of them even also got that title.I like the title, and also the fact that in so many years no one has come even close to claiming that title. Is it limiting - maybe, but is it fitting - yes! He totally dominated Pop culture Worldwide! No one else has that reach.
The music industry snubbed him in 1988, and that was because of a very specific reason.Although I don't care for the "King of Pop" title, I don't blame MJ for doing this at all lol. IIRC, MJ started to mandate networks calling him by this title because the Grammy Awards snubbed him in 1988; they invited him to perform only to not give him any awards. If networks are gonna use you for their own gain, then it's only right that you'd get something out of it yourself.
You could call it being a diva, but he still allowed them to make money off of him when they accepted his conditions, so it checks out. "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours"
Don't take my words so literally, and who is this Sintara person! Never heard of him! How can he be Kind of Pop when he is not that popularActually, several other artists have come very close to claiming that title, and certain of them even also got that title.
For example, American singer Frank Sinatra (the greatest male pop singer in the history of America, according to many people) has been also described as 'King Of Pop' with an amazing array of hit songs and albums under his belt.
It is my thread, it should exist till it has 250 pages!Time to close the thread.
ffs Hiker how can you not know Frank SinistraDon't take my words so literally, and who is this Sintara person! Never heard of him! How can he be Kind of Pop when he is not that popular
I guess he is not that popular, that's why!ffs Hiker how can you not know Frank Sinistra
He did it his way!I guess he is not that popular, that's why!
Hiker, you're messing with us, yeah?I guess he is not that popular, that's why!
you lost me at 1960s and 1950s . I know Elvis (is that helpful!)Hiker, you're messing with us, yeah?
But Frank was cool. I wasn't keen on his 60's stuff, too smooth and MOR for me, but in the 1950's? In his films? omg, he was the business. Hats. Sharp suits. He sang. He danced. He acted. He could do it all. He was in some awesome films. Guys and Dolls. On The Town. From Here To Eternity.
You're Canadian right?I guess he is not that popular, that's why!
worse! EuropeanYou're Canadian right?
A while back I posted the video clip of Michael visiting Frank in the recording studio.Frank Sinatra said and I quote: “The only male singer who I've seen besides myself and who's better than me – that is Michael Jackson.” Amazing coming from a dude who said he hated music like rock n roll
Apparently Frank Sintrata said this! I copy paste this from google lol
Now someone has to post the pictures of MJ with Frank because my tiny brain doesn’t know how that works
PS @Hiker she’s out of my life was supposed to be a song for Frank Sintarara
omg, you're not joking! I thought you were just messing with us!worse! European
Seriously though, I am really not into music. Pop culture was never part of my life up until last year. Even now its just Michael, I don't venture beyond that. So my not knowing this Sintara person does not hurt his popularity.
Oh alright lol. My mistakeworse! European

wow! That is one of the most insulting things I have heard in a while. Right up there with - wow! you are a girl, I am surprised because you are such a good engineer.Oh alright lol. My mistake
Kinda boggling how you immediately ended up the biggest mod of the biggest pop stars biggest running internet forum... Guess it's just that dire around here.
Aw man, I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. It's just, idk, there's been a lot of regulars on this sub, none of them wanted to be mods. In the decade I've been on here I think I've known only like 5 mods. Probably less so.wow! That is one of the most insulting things I have heard in a while. Right up there with - wow! you are a girl, I am surprised because you are such a good engineer.
That post is a train wreck but don’t worry I make plenty of thoseOh alright lol. My mistake

I was really talking about MJJcommunity. I never meant to say anything bad about her. They really struck out with her tbh, couldn't have a better mod.That post is a train wreck but don’t worry I make plenty of those
I know don’t worry It was also very funny but I find a lot of things funnyI was really talking about MJJcommunity. I never meant to say anything bad about her. They really struck out with her tbh, couldn't have a better mod.
Really! Maria whatever-your-last-name-is, we are going with Joseph Jackson now .shows how incredible Joseph Jackson is
Well, I'd like to know why I'm even in this space. I'm trying to get to the Food Network but I keep ending up over here. What is this place? Who are all you people?That post is a train wreck but don’t worry I make plenty of those
@zinniabooklover she isn ‘t messing, I knew that right away, I’m already familiar with her lack of musical knowledge.
You were supposed to tell it to a 4 year old but you accidentally told it to a 34 year old?Really! Maria whatever-your-last-name-is, we are going with Joseph Jackson now .
PS: As I was telling Zinnia earlier, yesterday I was super annoyed because I was getting in pointless arguments all day (e.g. trying to convince someone that when you say something that is not true to get what you want it's being dishonest, and that to a 34 year old not a 4 year old!). So this was bound to happen, it was just that kind of day.
What is wrong with everyone?@zinniabooklover ah that’s where your quote comes from!
Hiker can I ask how old you are?Don't take my words so literally, and who is this Sintara person! Never heard of him! How can he be Kind of Pop when he is not that popular
Fair enough. Tbh, I don't like the film myself. Michael liked it, I would imagine, for the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein. Or maybe for the story as well, who knows? But the music would be a big deal for him, he loved those guys.I’m not fond of musicals, I have seen the film though many years ago.
