Franco Pepe Kalle

Got it right.

The problem with Franco Pepe Kalle is that he is a unpredictable character. There is surprising info about this man. You think he only likes Franco and Pepe Kalle but when you find out that he hears other artists, you are shock.

i've never seen him actually play an instrument

and his "greatest" performance, at the Motown 25th Anniversary, was lip-synched

saying that, I do like Off The Wall and love Thriller, even if that may be just I'm a product of my times

i doubt people in 50 years time will look back to him with the same reverence as, say, The Beatles

i do dig The Jacksons' stuff once they left Motown and wrote their own material, as well

Your just saying that because your a big Beatles fan... Michael influenced generations 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s even 00s. He will be remembered 50 years from now... He might not be as popular but he will definitly be remembered and he is a legend.

He also has played instruments. He played the piano and the acoustic guitar. He has had alot more iconic performances besides Motown 25.. while he has lip synched... Michael is a fanstic vocal singer as a child and as an adult.

Michael Jackson wanted to known for two things that he was a specialist. Dancing and Singing. That is important. Who the hell cares whether he could play instrument. What makes a legend is when you excell at something.

His a great artist as well.. thats your opinion if you prefer him but that takes nothing away from Mr. Jackson.

FETCHER.

For you to claim Jackson won't be remembered in the same way as the beatles is ludicrous. If anything Jackson appeals to a wider range of people (these days) one of my friends knows beatles songs. All the rest including acquaintences I'm sure could name a good few Jackson songs.

Edit: not to say that no more than one mate knows a beatles song, but anytime we have to play music through a docking station there's always some Jackson. Never any beatles, unless it's me and I'm in the mood.

Probably to do with the fact MJ was releasing music much more recently than The Beatles, and also because his weird personality kept him in the spotlight.

They're both overrated anyway imo.

Soulflower

I disagree.


How is MJ overrated?

If anything he is very underrated as a songwriter, producer, arranger because most people do not know that he wrote most of his well known songs like Billie Jean, Beat It, Wanna Be Startin Something, Dont Stop Till You Get Enough, etc He has written 90% percent of his catalogue himself and most of the songs he wrote himself were number one hits. He also produced a few of his songs as well as songs for other artists. He also has played a few instruments contrary to popular opinion. Maybe he is not the greatest "artist" of all time but he was by far the greatest entertainer of all time.

MJ was just another pop star. He and Quincy had the formula right as is evident in the record sales but his music was just bubblegum pop.

His music wasn't really very challenging, just catchy melodies and prominent choruses designed to be passively consumed so that it leaves plenty of room for people to be bamboozled by his weird personality and fancy dance moves.

If he wasn't such a strange cunt I don't think he'd have this level of fandom.

@Neo I don't like the Beatles, their name seems to be synonymous with the phrase "greatest band of all time". I disagree. To me they are overrated. They changed the face of pop music, of that there is no doubt, but they are still overrated. Plus their annoying fan base pisses me off.
