I loved the Jackson 5 (I even loved the cartoon; you've GOT to Google it), and have original pressings of "Off the Wall" and "Thriller". I also liked "The Wiz". I thought that the duet/video "Scream" was brilliant. However, except for that, I felt that most of his stuff after "Bad" started to go a little downhill.

I never paid attention one way or the other about all the strangeness or controversy.

My mother met Michael and his family when they ate at the restaurant where she was a waitress. She said that he was very polite and quiet, and the whole family seemed pleasant.

If you'll indulge me, I have 2 very funny stories...one pertaining to the above fact.

When I was in high school I had a friend, Kyla, who was a HUGE MJ fan (and this was well before "Thriller"). She was a nice girl, much bigger and stronger than me, with a tough streak. One day she came up to me quickly, lifted me up by my jacket and slammed me against the lockers! She had NEVER been mean to me before and I was scared. She shook me again and yelled, "Why didn't you TELL me that your mother met Michael Jackson!!!!" and she proceeded to throw a bunch of questions about him at me! All I could say was, "Kyla...put me DOWN, please?"

The second story took place during the peak of Thrillermania. I worked in the Sight & Sound department of a store, and we had to play the "Making of Thriller" videotape repeatedly: as soon as it finished, I had to rewind it and play it again. Every day. In one point of the tape is a clip of the Jackson 5 performing. One day this teenaged girl came in with a bunch of her followers...er, I mean friends. This girl seemed to hold a lot of power over the others, and they all followed her unquestionably. Anyway, they caught the beginning of the tape and stopped to watch it. The girl was going on and on, "I am the BIGGEST Michael Jackson fan. I've been a fan of his FOREVER!!!" etc. Her snootiness and general greater-than-anyone attitude was really starting to grate on me. The J5 clip came on and she kind of looked down her nose and asked, "Who is THAT?" Although it wasn't very Christian of me, I took great pleasure in informing her that "THAT" was Michael Jackson...and I did it in front of her friends.

I'm kind of the opposite. I don't really like Off The Wall, Thriller's good but IMHO the albums Bad through BOTDF are the best. Invincible's just okay.

I just want to tell you that yesterday i went to a rememberece day for Michael Jackson and i read a poem about him and the end i added that hes now in heaven with Jesus .Alot of christians unfortuantley doubt his christianity but in fact alot of times he mentions his faith in Jesus doing interviews,quotes of his,lyriks in his music and poems and what hes done for others show his fruit of the holy spirit.THe media lied saying he converted to Islam as i have alot of evidence to show that was all lies,he was a commited christian until death so for that im truely grateful to Jesus:)
