UPDATE: Dancing W/ the Stars Thriller Tribute ~ Youtube video on pg.9

Funny how my P.s was taken out of context. You immediately think I am using that against Michael? The reason I am here on this forum posting, the reason I love music? Hmm.. I wrote it after I completed the post and came back in and added it as a sleight against any artists who don't sing live. Of course Michael sang live at Omarion's age, I have seen the performances, you aren't superior to me WBSS in talking down to me about how much of a bad fan I am.

However, if you think Michael's slowest now, at almost 50, is Omarion's fastest.. at 23.. Hmm, I think you expect far too much. Reality check right back at you.

Michael's life, it is destroyed by fan argument. This should have been a joyous time something wonderful happened, now look. What's the use. I am done with this argument.
I am glad MJ is being celebrated, after all they tried to do to him. I will go celebrate with Omarion by watching the video again. I loved every minute of it.

I don't think I'm superior to you. I just think what you wrote is bull sh*t. Tra, la, la. How else is one supposed to take the comment "at least he sang live?" when half the people here contantly complain about Michael not singing live? And that coming off of how Omarion and the like are the only way we're going to see Michael's classics performed with any energy anymore. Sounded like a back handed insult to me. Maybe next time you should clarify what you mean. And yes, Michael is still faster then Omarion, I'd bet any amount of money. Then again, speed isn't the only thing that matters. How well you execute is as large a factor, and Michael still outdances any of these cats, like I said before. He brings beauty to dance, while someone like Omarion brings nothing but commonality. The point is, a dancer who moves with strength and percisian is always better then one who dances with sloppiness and eratic movement, no matter how much "energy" they put in to it.

I concur. :yes:

So you are immediately stereotyping me as being 'just another fan' who moans about Michael Jackson not singing live? Well you don't know me, and as a lifelong fan, I do find it agitating having a stranger deciding my personal feelings for my idol over the internet. People can complain as much as they like about Michael Jackson 'not singing live' for all i care, however, I am a huge fan and would prefer not to be classified as someone who does this.

Isn't it general knowledge that there is a lack of artists who sing live in the 21st century anyway? And I don't even know you, and my responses weren't directed directly at you, so how dare you give me lessons on clarifying myself on an internet forum?

If you can call Omarion's performance 'sloppiness and erratic movement' you are very much on top of your high horse. Of course it is going to look a little speedy and clung together in terms of precision, but look when it was performed.. A prime time show with little time for slots such as a Thriller tribute. So I think that what was performed, and how much was included in such a short space of time was incredible, and at least he didn't simply mimic Michael, he brought something new to the table and brought classic moves to a more contemporary dance scene. Something which Michael will be doing with his next album, that is for sure, he will be bringing new steps, new moves and new feelings to how dance is constructed, which we can see from the use of hindsight with Thriller, Bad and Dangerous etc..

As for 'Michael still out dances any of these cats' , how are you in any position to know this? You haven't seen Michael perform a single dance step, let alone a routine since, 2002? Which as I can remember was his last performance of Dangerous.. But don't quote me on that. The truth of the matter is that you don't know how well Michael moves anymore, he is almost 50 and will probably be toning down his dance acts in his coming projects, he said himself in the Ebony interview that he didn't want to carry on like James Brown did. In all probability he will still dance, and it will be fantastic, but you have no knowledge of what Michael will do in the future with his dancing and singing so you cannot possibly ask me to trust you on this. Unless you are Michael's choreographer, in which case I apologize..

Plus, don't call my opinions 'bull sh*t' that is rude and totally uncalled for.

I assumed as much about you because of the context you worded your post with. You say first that Michael can no longer perform with the energy that Omarion brought, and you then add, as a P.S., that at least Omarion sang live. I hate to argue samantics, but the way you worded your post made it sound as though you were giving Michael Jackson an off handed insult. I told you to clairfy so that in the future, people don't mistake what was meant as a critic of todays acts for a critic of Michael himself. Because you didn't make that clear, at all.

Secondly, I know Michael can still outdance these people today because one, in his prime, Michael was so far ahead of them that the mere mention of their name alongside his is an insult to his talent, and two, no, I haven't seen Michael actually perform since 2002, but as I said in my initail post, which you've taken so much issue with, is that, while comparing to what he used to be, Michael isn't as fast or as powerful, what he still is, is a superior talent, by a lot. I know he can still outdance these people because you don't lose talent and Michael's worst day is still better then any of these acts best day. I base it off of Michael's last known performances, in which he was still faster, still cleaner, still better then Omarion or CB or JT or Usher or whoever the hell you want to talk about and I base it off of the fact that, Michael was so much better then any of them in his prime that, even today, at a more advanced age, he still wipes the floor with them. Any great dancer can still move extremely well in to their 40s, 50s and even 60s. Omarion isn't some great dancer. He isn't even a good dancer. He's an okay dancer. Michael was and is arguably the greatest dancer that ever lived. So I conclude, his worst day is better then Omarion's best. His trickle down is still better then anything Omarion or whoever else has to offer.

About the excuse you give for Omarion being sloppy and erratic, that doesn't hold water, because I'm assessing this on every performance I've ever seen Omarion give. He isn't very good. His vocals are hedious, first off, and his dancing is just basic, average, run of the mill stuff. He had time to rehearse, the entire thing was staged, planned and executed. Omarion just doesn't have anything special to offer.

You have such a problem with me stating that the performance blew, yet when someone takes issue with you saying it was "amazing", you get all defensive.

I really don't have a problem with you liking it. What I do have a problem with is you and a few others acting like anyone who hated the performance is a total ass hole and needs to shut up. Because frankly, that's how it's coming across.

And for the record, telling me I sound like I'm on my high horse is as rude as me calling your opinion bullsh*t. Forgive me for having standards, I suppose.

^It's all a matter of opinion. If you didn't like the performance, then that's cool. Omarion isn't the best vocalist, but in my opinion, you can't say he can't dance.

It was still a tribute. It was still positive for Michael and that's a good thing whether people liked the performance itself or not.
 
I didn't say he can't dance. I said he's an okay dancer. And that's based on standards used in judgement of dance in general. And did I not state that it was okay if people liked it? Nobody is riding anyone's ass for saying that. But people who say they thought it sucked sure as hell are catching a lot of grief just for saying so. "Oh my God, how can you say that... At least they didn't diss Michael, it was positive, why say anything bad..." blah, blah, blah. Nobody is allowed to say ANYTHING negative about anyone around here anymore without catching hell for it, it seems. Unless of course it's about Michael. Then its just about "being real".

I don't know how many times I have to say that it was really nice for them to do the tribute and that the effort is appreciated in terms of the effort alone. But that doesn't mean that saying you thought the performance was bad shouldn't be allowed. Just because you thought the performance was bad doesn't mean you don't appreciate the gesture. The whole thing is tumbling in to further insults of the performance just to defend the stance of not liking it. Think about it for a second.

I still defend my statement that 'in all probability Michael cannot move with that energy we saw from Omarian the other evening anymore' that is just simply stating the fact of age vs health and fitness. Although Michael's dancing would be more perfected, precise and plausible as a great performance, he will not have the energy and strength that Omarion, JT and other artists posses. You even state that dancing isn't all to do with energy, which I have not argued with at one point in my entire posting history on this thread.

Again, don't 'tell me' to do anything. If people such as yourself are unable to grasp that not everything someone says is an insult to the reason they even signed up to be members here on this Michael Jackson forum, then yes they need to understand that this is not the case. In all honesty, if you were comparing me to a fan who has a problem with Michael singing/not singing live, you don't know who I am at all.. I don't read let alone post on the threads where people argue over Michael's choice in how he performs. Instead of categorizing me, look up my posts, I never insult Michael nor put him down, I simply state the obvious, that he is approaching 50 and in all probability is not as fit or strong as these younger artists, a point I raied in my first paragraph.

You are still basing all of your criteria on why Michel Jackson can still 'outdance' these performers on hindsight, rather than looking at the realistic probabilities of the effects of age and a child molestation case and trial brought against him. You still have ZERO insider information on how well and how long Michael can perform for.. It is all very well telling me that 'Michael was so much better then any of them in his prime that, even today, at a more advanced age, he still wipes the floor with them.' This may be the case, but you don't know that? You are just basing your argument on knowledge with a huge 6 year gap from 2002 to 2008, and not considering the TIMELESS effects the trial would have had on him.

Of course my argument on why the performance isn't good enough for some people 'holds water', the fact of the matter is that he performed 3 songs in about 2 minutes, with about 20 people? It will look confused and disjointed to certain people, I however, enjoyed every minute of it, I loved the energy and the fact it paid homage to my idol. As for saying his vocals are terrible, that is a pathetic thing to say.. Okay, they weren't great on the performance, but listening to some of his solo work, I think his voice is far from pathetic, not my taste, but I would like to see you sing better before you put down professional artists.

I think you will find that you took it up to have an argument with a post of mine that was directed at people slating the performance with no hint of constructive criticism. It was horrible to read, people even posting articles about Omarian being dropped from his record label.. Why does that have to be posted? I am guessing artists should steer clear of ever performing in honor of Michael's work, because although they probably know they don't even compare to him, they will just be torn apart by people who can't come to appreciate the gesture and rip the performance they put on to shreds.

For the record, telling you to get off your high horse, is simply telling you to take a reality check, something which you have and nameless others have pointed at me to do. Calling my opinion 'bull sh*t' is something much more rude and harsh to say, if you want to take it higher, speak to a MOD, I certainly will if you continue to crush my opinions with insinuative bad language.

apparently it isn't and that's how this whole unworthy issue got ridiculously blown out of proportion..

now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go and celebrate with Mr. Grandberry over his most mentionings on the net since he last dropped a decent record. (which was never).

I didn't insinuate that no one could or should say anything negative, but I simply don't understand why people are. :scratch:

And exactly, it is tumbling into personal attacks. I don't understand that either :unsure:
 
Look man, I seriously mistook your post as an insult. It's based on how you worded it, and if you can't see that it was a simple mistake based on something you did, then you simply are in denial. I don't go around reading your every post, and of course I don't know you, how am I too, your just some name on a message board, nothing more, nothing less. I wouldn't be any more qualified to assertain whether you were not insulting Michael then I would be to assume you were. It was the way you worded it, that's where it comes from. I accept your deinal as the truth, and that's all there is to it.

You don't seem to grasp a word I what I was saying regarding Michael being able to still outdance any of the above mentioned names. Michael, in comparison to himself, isn't what he used to be in terms of dance, but he still is a superior dancer to any of the above mentioned and always will be. Based on this fact alone, he can still outdance them because he simply is better. Better control, better speed, even still, I'm willing to bet any amount of money on that, more grace and fluidity. The ONLY things Michael has lost in terms of physical capability is some speed, some endurance and some strength. But that doesn't mean he's lost his seamless connection of steps, his grace or his control. And basing this on the evidence we do have, which is all anything is based on, if you actually think about it, then yes, Michael is still capable of all those things, at the same level. How long you can keep it up for is of no concern to me. That doesn't determine how good you are in any particular field of the performing arts. It's simply based on execution. None of the above mentioned names can move with the kind of control, ease or accuracy of Michael, and those factors alone make Michael better. And I can bet, as I said before, that his speed is still superior, because last I checked it was and he was so blindingly fast before that any trickle down is still supeiror, I'm sure. Not to mention, the emphasis you put in to each step is based on something called coordination, how much energy you can put in to a single motion. Michael hasn't lost that coordination. Maybe he's lost some of the strength he once had, but he still can put whatever strength he has left all in to a single movement, and that makes for a more pronounced appearance then even a young man with less coordination, like Omarion, could ever do.

Anyway, like I said, you have taken great issue with anyone here stating that the performance was bad, and it confuses me as to why. You seem to not be able to grasp the concept that one can appreciate the effort while still not being impressed by it. Why is that so hard for you to wrap your mind around, exactly?

Oh, and again, about the "erratic" thing, Omarion is simply a dancer who lacks any kind of good control, and so, in general, he is sloppy and unkept looking when he dances. This performance was just another instance of such. I don't care how many songs he performed in how many minutes. Again, it was rehearsed, it was planned, it was staged, and still, Omarion specifically looked decidedly average, as he always does. His dancing is what looked erratic and sloppy, not the staging or the choreography, just the execution.

And about his singing, I probably could outsing Omarion, it's not as though in todays industry it's actually a requirnement that you have a good voice.

Gosh, it wasn't that bad was it? Far out, a tribute's a tribute. At least it wasn't a performance that took the piss out of Michael. It wasn't disrespectful or rude to him.

I mean this show goes into millions of homes, and those millions of people are being reminded of Michael's great music. What's so wrong with that? I mean even if you don't think it was a great performance from Omarion, who really cares? It's another reminder to literally millions of people that Michael's legacy lives on.

BTW, the dancing was incredible- I was looking at that more than listening to Omarion. :yes:

Exactly my point.
Geez, people...stop attacking each other over something that was actually nice.
 
let me just go on record as somebody objective that accused america of not giving musical props to MJ back in the nineties when all the false accusations started against him. i told it like it was....there was a blacklist on american radio of his newer stuff, for the most part, and djs were attacking him....

i got in trouble with other board members for making the accusation..but i saw and heard what happened....and i told it like it was..

well...now....it's different. abc television, and the host of dancing with the stars acknowledged something that we all knew in our hearts was true....and used the powerful medium of tv to announce it...that thriller is the best selling album of all time. now, who cares about the confusion over guiness book...when something gets announced like this on national tv in a country that brought about skepticism among fans...and when people all over youtube are willing to give tribute to thriller like they are...and dance troupes and up and coming artists from all genres of music are remaking songs from the album....and artists are paying tribute to MJ left and right..and you know that people are watching..and people of all ages are reacting positively, in AMERICA...as well as the rest of the world...and know that they are tributing Michael and have become or remain new fans of Michael(yes they are smart enough to know it is a tribute to Michael and not an original song from one of the acts doing the tribute) it does my heart good. i don't have time to attack those who are paying tribute. otherwise..we fans are looked on as...damned if they do..damned if they don't.

sure..i don't mind damming them if they don't..but they are..so, i'm loving them.

and, besides..this is not about comparing them to Michael...that's out of the question..that's a given. they themselves know that there is only one King of Pop.

so...talking about them, individualistically just seems to be so unnecessary, after all we went through.

anyway....it seems like if we don't have anything nice to say, we shouldnt' say it in this instance...after all..how long will we get to enjoy that people want to pay tribute to MJ?

anyway...to me, Omarion was good. he did what he did with what he had...and i enjoyed it.

and like i said...even one of the contestants did ballroom dancing to MJ, and now he's a finalist.

to me..it's about accentuating the positive.:clapping:

let's just hope that if any of these artists are looking at this site they see the positive statements about them and are encouraged to continue. because we fans who are saying what datsymay and others who agree with her are saying, just want the tributes to continue....i'm just afraid that if artists see all the strong critiques against them, all artists will stop tributing. and i am afraid of that happening, and i don't want that. i'm sure there are others that agree with me on that.

Yes indeed! Let us ask ourselves that question...how long will we get to enjoy this time? Cause the past several years have been hell and the past 15 a tumbling snowball into hell. We should sit back and enjoy this ride, savor it and remember it, save positive articles and youtube vids. This is a wonderful time for Michael Jackson fans and I'm sure a wonderful time for the man himself. This is a time for celebration of Thriller 25 and the blossoming of a new MJ era:cheers:

...even the Library of Congress is celebrating Thriller ! lol, and we fans are arguing?

I agree with all of wannebe's posts, yes im glad that ABC is giving Mike props but giving props don't mean we have to like it give me a break, now MTV's Dance Crew did a much better job in their tribute to Michael and i truly enjoyed that. I like Omari but like i said previously they should have just played Mike's music and danced it would have been far more enjoyable which i also said but I agree even people are grateful for whatever ABC did that's fine, i have no problems with that peace :flowers:
 
It seems this thread is going down hill. Personal attacks are not premitted on MJJC. Everyone has a different opinion and just because it is not the same as yours doesn't make it right or wrong just different. Agree to disagree and move on immediately.
 
just because Michael says he does not want to keep on performing like James Brown did, does not mean that automatically has something to do with age...that is an assumption too, when you don't know Michael, either, Foxy. Maybe Michael wants to stop performing and let his money work for him, just because he wants to..or because he wants to take care of his family..it could be anything...

so you making an assumption about the reason for him not wanting to always perform is for you also, to talk as if you are his choreographer, and you know what is up with him, which you don't.

I would respond to these posts, but I have had a warning against me on the forum, I don't want to risk saying something else which I regard as harmless to be put in the moderation queue. Also, don't confuse this to be a sarcastic comment or something, I am simply watching my own back, I will respond once I have reviewed the rules of the forum.

Let me make myself clear - I have nothing against ANY tribute for MJ or for Mj's classic masterpieces. However, if the tribute sucks, imo, then I am going to say so. It has nothing to do with whether I like or dislike Omarion. I happen to like Omarion.

Mike but when i see a performance like that i'm not going to pretend i liked it just because it was tributing Mike. and i've been a strong defender of tributing artists nearly at all times but when it comes to it, you have to keep real.

Same here. You hit the nail with what you stated. I personallythought that Omarion can do better. He has done plenty of dancing in his solo videos and with the group B2K and he was awesome in his dancing. Compare his performance on DWTS to ALL of his videos on youtube and it is obvious that the performance on DWTS was the weakest that he has done so far. I am not expecting Omarion to do the best MJ moves ever, only Michael or anyone relating to him, imo, can do that. I am expecting O to bring his A game and to me, he did not. However, that does not erase the fact that 1. he is a better dancer that Chris Brown and 2. He dances a million times better than me.

How well you execute is as large a factor, and Michael still outdances any of these cats, like I said before

True but what is the point of making this statement? It was never implied that MJ cannot outdance people on this thread.

I just think what you wrote is bull sh*t. Tra, la, la. How else is one supposed to take the comment "at least he sang live?"

It is really sad that in order to make a point people have to trash others point of view just to make themselves feel good. If that is not low, I have no clue what low is. The comment about MJ not singing live is an opinion. It does not erase MJ's achievements or makes MJ less talented than others. It shows, like everyone, MJ is human and has right to lysync once in their career.

mean this show goes into millions of homes, and those millions of people are being reminded of Michael's great music. What's so wrong with that? I mean even if you don't think it was a great performance from Omarion, who really cares? It's another reminder to literally millions of people that Michael's legacy lives on.

I agree with most of what you stated on here, however, I just did not like Omarion's performance. He could have done way better. I like tha fact that millions of people saw his performance and were reminded of the greatness of Michael. I cannot get angry about that. I love the dancing and the respect. That is what I am going to take from that performance.

Thanks Shannon sorry i lost my cool, you did a great job cleaning up the thread and i never would have done that had i not been provoked, i appreciate you handling the situation in a very mature manner thank you :flowers:
 
Girl. lol.

After reading the rules of the forum after being warned by a mod for an apparent infraction I have condensed all of my argument into a couple of paragraphs;

You state to me that.. "You seem to not be able to grasp the concept that one can appreciate the effort while still not being impressed by it."

In my personal opinion, if you mock the performance, you mock the artist, you mock their life's work and overall you mock the gesture of the tribute. Simple as that, you cannot appreciate the gesture of the tribute if you chose to dissect and criticize the performance the ways in which I have seen.

If you were to appreciate the gesture and effort of the point of the performance, you would simply constructively and politely voice what you thought could have been a better way of performing it in your opinion. This I believe would have been a better approach, instead of bashing the way they move, the way they sing and overall the way they performed the entire set. With others posting unfounded and disgustingly ill timed articles on Omarian being dropped from his record label, and stating that they aren't surprised, was a terrible display of immaturity and imperviousness.

Oh and in relation to me saying you were a guy, I couldn't tell, since as you pointed out in other posts; "I don't know you, how am I too, your just some name on a message board, nothing more, nothing less."
