Lol i never tought Joe and katherine's love was #reallove, but if Prince says so..
:give_heart:Also, new pics of Paris and Prince
It's so cool how much Paris Jackson admires John Lennon even living in Manhattan in New York City. Paris's style reminds me of John Lennon's. Which you can also see how Lennon's style influenced Paris's father, Michael Jackson. Including the Sunflower used in the HIStory tour performance. An anti War movement!
I think it's a reach to say that Michael was influenced by John Lennon's style.
Sure, he covered Come Together, but he probably just did it because he owned to Beatles catalog and figured why not.
Michael's style was also nothing like John Lennon's, and Michael could have easily chose a sunflower for the Earth Song performance completely unrelated to John Lennon.
Michael definitely liked the Beatles, but was he influenced by them?
No, not AFAIK.
This isn't like a personal attack on you or anything, I just dislike when people say MJ was influenced by people he really wasn't influenced by.
I disagree with your analogy. It was an anti-War stance, the use of the sunflower. Michael's use of John Lennon's son, Sean, while performing "Come Together" shows Michael is tipping his hat towards the talent of John Lennon. I believe this is why Paris Jackson is paying T R I B U T E to John Lennon. Furthermore, Michael bought the Beatles songs because the Beatles influenced everyone in the HIStory of Rock and Roll, including Michael Jackson!
So now anyone that doesn't like war and likes sun flowers is influenced by John Lennon by default?:ermm:
Michael brought those Beatles songs because he was an extremely smart business person, and wanted the money he knew the songs would generate.
Michael had Lisa in YANA, yet he obviously wasn't influenced by Elvis, so him using Lennon's son in Come Together doesn't really mean anything.:lol:
Paris is not Michael, so what she likes doesn't matter to me when it comes to who influenced Michael, and TBH she likes a lot of things and is okay with a lot of things Michael would never have liked or been okay with.
So yeah, what Paris likes has no bearing on what Michael liked.:ermm:
Liking an artist/band doesn't equate to them having influenced you (especially when you have to grasp at straws to see the 'influence'), and the Beatles were not an influence on Michael, but if you want to think they were then okay.
I just positively hate when people try to link Michael's success to another big act/artist that Michael never said he was influenced by instead of letting Michael stand on his own as an artist/entertainer, especially when Michael was quite vocal about who his influences really were, and had no problem letting their influence on him be known.
The Beatles were great, but I literally see no influence of theirs on Michael.
Exactly!
Huh?
I've seen that vid.
