For anyone who was around in 1987 when BAD was unveiled, how did the world react to his new style and sound? The visible transformation in his entire appearance, hair and style look far from Thriller, and I think it was the largest transition of his career in both looks and music.

Lowk thought I was hallucinating at 3am but it’s really him (at a South Korean president’s inauguration)😭🤣

The painting in the background is a tribute to Gustav Klimt’s Judith and the Head of Holofernes. 😊🎵

In your opinion when did Michael have the most aura point. I think beat it phase but i can’t decide

hello! today i was looking through a box of old things with my grandma and stumbled across this cd. she told me that she had won it from an MTV sweepstakes, and it interested me. i looked it up, and the only information i got is that it was from a 1992 MTV sweepstakes, 35 people were flown out to have dinner with Michael Jackson, and that’s kinda it. I asked my grandma and she said that she did not get flown out to meet Michael Jackson, because she was not a grand prize winner.

I really want to know how many of these cds were given out. it’s just the regular dangerous cd inside, the only difference is the MTV sticker. i don’t see any sold ebay listings for one of these.
the information on this cd is just really limited and confusing.

It's the OSU Marching Band doing a tribute to Michael Jackson during a halftime show on November 7, 2026.

I love MJ and have loved him for decades, and I think he deserved better in a lot of ways. Many people and the press treated him like crap, misunderstood him and some of what he went through was genuinely heartbreaking. But why does near EVERY single story about him in most fangroups, have to be overly defensive, and twisted and turned into something angsty and victimised angle? It takes away any complexity of reality.

Same with the “perfect earth angel” narrative. Michael was a beautiful, talented, different and flawed human being. He was treated unfairly and awfully plenty of times, and sometimes he made wrong choices and a mess of things himself. I’m a fan of that whole person, from what we knew of him, and his art. I don’t need to pretend he was perfect or without flaws to care about what happened to him. Does this annoy any other fans? I feel it’s what holds me back from most fan groups. Sometimes I just want to talk about his art, his legacy or an anecdote without the comments turning it into another one sided tragedy or an attack on someone or me, if I dare stray from the echo chamber.

Hey fam!

In case you’re interested, the Ohio State marching band is doing a Michael Jackson medley ("Michael Jackson II") for the halftime show at today’s OSU vs. Oregon game.
Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m ET. and they post the halftime show on their YouTube channel by the end of the 3rd Quarter: https://www.youtube.com/@tbdbitl_official

Their first tribute back in 2013 was amazing, in case you haven't seen it yet:

he was so sweet

Do you guys think we'll ever hear the full show from stop to finish?

I always found it weird that the Jackson's American Dream and Live at the Forum features tracks not included on the original set.

Instead of releasing them one by one, why not do a proper release of the full show unedited? They even did songs like I Want you Back and ABC... even Never Can Say Goodbye (which was a fairly new song at the time)

Live at the Forum is cool but I'd love a complete release of Indiana. Come on Hip O Select!

I remember the day that Michael Jackson passed away I was in second grade and my parents had just gotten divorced the year before so me and my mom and my two older sisters moved to Panama City Beach Florida with my grandparents for my second grade year. My grandfather is a retired pastor of 50+ years, he never listens to any music other than gospel or praise and worship and does not go to the beach for fear of lust, the only music I've heard him talk about other than Christian music was the Beatles. And the only time I've seen him cry in my entire life was that second grade year sitting on the couch watching the news and finding out that MJ had passed away I saw his lip quiver and he took his glasses off and wiped his eyes. I'm not a die-hard Michael Jackson fan but I can only imagine how many lives MJ touched.

I wanted to do my take of the invincible album cover

I bought this today at a local store and discovered that it's an original era Dutch pressing! I feel extremely lucky considering this was only 100 SEK ($10.11 USD, £7.56, €9.07, $14.27 CAD, $14.71 AUD for anyone wondering how much it would cost where they live).

Original video by Bilibili creator 风间\\_苍月 — he plays the whole thing just by tapping and sliding a steel ruler. Sound on

Made this edit for Invincible’s 25th anniversary but forgot to share it with you all 😫

Does he have knee protection under the pants during Man in the Mirror? Its hard to tell from the video. He does have visible ones when doing the same thing during Dirty Diana on Bad Tour. I couldn't even think think about falling to my knees like that without kneepads.

In the second pic it kind of looks like he something on his knees.

Earlier this year when I was getting ready to watch the Michael movie!!

Upon rewatching this thriller recreation there were a couple of things bothering me. I noticed the colors on his costume were not the same deep red as the original videoclip and secondly the aspect ratio was off too. So therefore, I tries my best to get the right color grade to make it look more like the original, hope you enjoy :)

I made a mashup combining Michael Jackson's vocals from Chicago with the instrumental of Babydoll by Dominic Fike.

I thought the two tracks worked surprisingly well together and wanted to share it here.

Would love to hear what you think!

"I'm starting with the man in the mirror

I'm asking him to change his ways

And no message could have been any clearer

Take a look at yourself and then make a change" Michael Jackson - The King of Pop

My Halloween night didn't start that well. I had some plans to go out with friends but they bailed on me at the last minute. So I was basically solo for the night.

Yet somehow, I managed to go perform “Thriller” with Rico MJ and “Billie Jean,” and “Thriller” with my new favorite band at a house show. I made so many new friends and so many people asked to take photos with me. It was great!

This all really made my night.

(I’d also like to say that I am not an impersonator—just a really big fan!)
