Subject: Michael Jackson - Whacko or genius?

Written By: Zoso on 12/03/05 at 3:35 am

Do you reckon Michael Jackson is a whacko, a misunderstood genius, a whacko genius or neither crazy nor genius?

whacko/genius

Have to admit that he had good songs and classic videos in the '80's

Id have to say, being a fan and all, genius. Now, that being said, I also do think he has issues.

The great majority of his music videos are brilliant. Most of his songs are timeless.

While many people say his greatest work is the Thriller album, personally, for perfection, you cant go past Off The Wall. You can tell in the music videos (well in 2 of them) that MJ had fun making this album...Plus, he was much better looking back then too.

After 1991/92 he went downhill, but before that he was a genius... a little wacko, but who isn't!  :D

His downfall was right after his 1991 Dangerous album.  He slowly torned into one big whacko

Genius, no question.
I defy anyone to listen to Billy Jean and not be buzzed by it, especially the video.

Was listening to his early stuff with The Jackson 5 today.
