wow Michael jackson gotten alot of awards of the years
I wasn't aware of that many awards he got. I wonder if he knows how many he's got or how would he feel like if he read the list. Maybe saying: ''These are all mine?!''
The King, Michael Jackson has an amazing legacy and this thread is dedicated to his mind blowing musical career.
The following is a list of Michael Jackson's incredible achievements, his records and awards. This list does not contain every achievement and award because the King Of Pop has simiply achieved too many! For a better list of his awards and records

I am very impressed with your post, but I wish you could back up the statements of fact with more than just Wikipedia as a source. It is highly unreliable and this information MUST exist officially somewhere. The reason I say this is that the world is becoming less and less stringent on accuracy. Do we want to go down in HIStory as the generation that ignored the truth and wrote HIStory as we wanted it to be? Let's start a list with ONLY FACTUAL, RELIABLY SOURCED information. It would make a stronger statement to the haters and the press AND it would show that we are not a bunch of crazed fans, making Michael more exsquisite than he is by creating additional information that is undeniably factual. Then we can bombard the press. Hopefully, hopefully, they will notice this and perhaps remember the man as a human being and not a target for attacks. And people wonder why he tries to keep his kids away and out of the spotlight when he goes out. After all, how would they feel if they hear "your a child molester!", or "You are over. Get over it. No one cares about you. You're irrelevant". It hurts him so much, but imagine going out with your father and hearing those things. It must hurt more than anything and I pray those kids are forgiving to the world when they grow up. I don't want them to be jaded, scared adults, who don't want to be seen or heard from. They need to represent Michael after he passes on. They, like all other stratoshperic stars, needs to be remembered, emulated and revered with their work. Look at Lisa Marie Presley, and so many other children of stars.
Okay, sorry for the crazy tangent of mixed up subjects, but Ihad to write this to get it out of my head and on to the board. Thank you for listening to my rant. :mello: :timer:
