The man was a **GOD**. I love’d the man. He was the best Artist ever. He may have been a bit eccentric in his late years, but I still loved him. Since he was little, Micheal was loved by so many as the youngest singer of the _Jackson Five_. The Jackson Five even had a cartoon TV show in the 70s and they made the famous 70s song: _ABC_. In his teen years, he was on his own and became a legend as Micheal Jackson. When MTV started, Micheal Jackson was the First African American Singer to appear on this channel with one of his best songs: _Bille Jean_. Some tought that MTV standed for Micheal Television, since most of his Music Videos was on this channel. He won so many awards and he met **President Ronald Regan** and many **\*\*Political People of History \*\*** in the 80s and the 90s. Women would just faint at the sight of him…don’t make fun of this moment. I mean every concert he was at, it would be sold out and there would be so many guards to keep the fans under control. It was like _Woodstock_ at every concert he was at…except there were no hippies, no stoners, no giant fields. Men and Women would cry in joyness as they saw him preform. In other countries, the country’s leader would sent a group of professional soldiers around him. He kinda brought peace as he was one of the things that communistic and democratic countries had in common. He starred in the movie _Moonwalker_ that had his great song _Smooth Criminal_. He worked with famous singers of his time and even before his time. He did a ground breaking and legendary performance at the _Motown 25th anniversary_ and the guy could dance, he made the incredible _Moonwalk_ Dance Move. He did _Beat it, Bad, Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough, Please Don’t Stop the Music, Scream, ABC, Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal_, and the song that revolutionized the way of Music and the Muisc Industry itself… _ **THRILLER !!!** _ **\*\*God Bless Micheal Jackson and may he REST IN PEACE \*\*** ---

I saw this shirt in Switzerland last month and **really** wanted to buy it. They wanted $80 for it or something.. and the store was closed anyways. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/9/1/913ffd0696f32bc0539ff614eb633b31a5317f04.jpeg) Moonwalker (the movie) was probably one of my favorites. It had all the great videos but also was where Smooth Criminal was from. I’m going to watch that movie here soon. I also had the original Moonwalker game for Sega Genesis… anyone else? https://www.youtube.com/embed/lF89npFbn8g?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque ---

The werewolf scared me so badly that I actually couldn’t view the video until a few years ago. I could watch the Zombie part like crazy (because it is badass) but the werewolf part .. yikes! ---

> [@hawaiiangb](#): > > that game was the best…especially when you got the powerup to make everyone on the screen dance thriller…What was kinda weird was saving the little boys in each room They didnt dance thriller. It was the anti-gravity dance from the moonwalker movie, and the song smooth criminal. Jackson actually patented the shoes used in the live performances of smooth criminal where he and the crew of gangsters performed the dance. I played the game like a ■■■■■■■. ---

I never played it because i never had a sega back in the day, Looks like with recent events it’s going to be even harder to get For them as wants, there is a magnificent emulator available for the Sega systems. Kega Fusion emulates the SG-1000, the Master System, the Game Gear, the Mega Drive (Genesis), the Mega CD and the x32. It is available for free under public licence at the following link: [http://www.eidolons-inn.net/tiki-index.php?page=Kega](http://www.eidolons-inn.net/tiki-index.php?page=Kega) There are plenty of copies of Moonwalker available on e-bay, but the prices are insane (BIN prices of £59.99). For the sake of trying a game out, I’d settle for the ROM emulation. ---

Every song and video Michael made in his lifetime was awesome. Even the quiet ones that weren’t on the level of Thriller or Bad had their own specialness about them. I defy any artist who comes after him to attempt the same thing…because they will fail. There will never be anyone like Michael Jackson ever again. As for [the video game](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/ghostbusters-the-video-game) Moonwalker, I owned it. I can’t begin to account the many hours I played that game on the Sega Genesis. The “Yoods” level was tough to beat. It took me getting a Game Genie to get through it. It was always fun trying to catch a shooting star and turn into Mecha-Michael! Name any other game where you can turn into a giant robot and blow up zombies 😛 Oh, to someone who said Michael had to rescue little boys in the game, they were actually little girls. It was the same pigtailed blonde girl from the Smooth Criminal sequence of “Moonwalker” (the movie). ---

I just realized something. There seems to be a very strong connection between MJ and the number 7. Michael = **7** Letters Jackson = **7** Letters Was the **7** th of nine kids Thriller was the first album to have **7** Billboard Top 100 Top 10 singles The album ‘Bad’ spawned **7** hit singles His biggest hits ‘Black Or White’ and ‘Billie Jean’ both reached No.1 on the Billboard Top 100 and stayed there for **7** weeks Broke a Guiness World Record when over 500,000 people attended **7** sold-ot shows at Wembley Stadium Micheal Jackson’s Will signed/finalized on July **7** , 2002 ( **7** / **7** /02) = Exactly **7** years ago to the day of his funeral Micheal Jackson’s Memorial/Funeral Service = July **7** , 2009 ( **7** / **7** /09) Coincedence?..Yeah! But that is still pretty wierd. ---

Did anyone watch the memorial service? I thought it was a fitting tribute and dignified. However, a couple of problems I had was that some speakers were elevating him to Martin Luther King Jr. status as far as what he did to help open doors for blacks. MJ was great, and did much, but let’s not exaggerate here. And it was so sad that they got his kids up on stage and his girl was speaking. I don’t think it was necessary to put the kid through something like that. I did make the point to me, that the father of three kids had died, not just an amazing entertainer. ---

It was a great memorial. I like Brook Shields story. I’m not a fan of MJ, but it was nice to hear how he was with personal friends. I stopped watching after Brook. From what I understand, the daughter wanted to get up there, but I really know nothing about it. ---

Wish I could have seen it. Though I’m sure it’ll find its way to DVD and/or Blu-ray at some point. So I’m sure I didn’t completely miss it. Sounds like it was pretty nice, though. ---
