Michael Jackson, 1983
Remember when MTV and the world cared so much about music videos that they would have World Premieres, those pre-scheduled and mega-hyped events when friends would gather to see their favorite song on TV for the very first time? Well, Michael Jackson wasn't just the King of Pop, he was also the King of MTV and the greatest video star of all time. It wasn't because of his amazing special effects and wardrobe choices; he was king because of his insanely innovative dance numbers. Jackson has influenced a generation of performers, including Justin Timberlake, Usher, and Britney Spears, who'd probably just be standing behind a mike belting out a tune were it not for the Gloved One. On Friday, director Martin Scorsese explained the magic of seeing Jackson perform his moves on the set of the video for "Bad." "I was in awe of his absolute mastery of movement on the one hand, and of the music on the other," Scorsese said. "Every step he took was absolutely precise and fluid at the same time. It was like watching quicksilver in motion." We bring you Michael's signature moves, starting with his early days with the Jackson 5 to the moment he unleashed the Moonwalk and beyond.

On Worst Talk Shows in History...fed-up said "Chevy Chase was very funny when he was on SNL. That was a very funny show during the 70s, with the first set of comedians but, like Magic Johnson, Chevy Chase was a flop when he got his own show. And Alf was just too strange--he was just awful--a disaster! I really hated Alf, really did not like that character! Wasn't cute or adorable. Didn't like him at all. Still don't!"

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...Timo said "C'mon folks, the dude just a cool good actor. I don't care what kind of movie it is as long as Nicolas Cage or Denzel (my other obsession) are in it. His spending? I would buy all that shit especially the houses if I could afford it. Octopus and Cobra? NO. I laughed my ribs off from his admission ...."We come from a long lineage of robbers and highwaymen in Italy. Even killers." Go Nic just don't end up broke like Mike Tyson!"
-
On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...majik said "eBay was made for people like this. Some of the things owned by Nicholas will go for huge money as long as it does not appear to be a firesale. I enjoy all of his movies and do hope that Mr. Cage can continue to provide the entertainment on and off screen for a very long time to come."

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...mickey_dees2009 said "It seems to me that some people are forgetting where we live. This is the United States of America! And as such we are entitled to freedoms. If we choose to spend our money on "weird" items, then so be it! Its our money and we can do with it as we wish. Put yourself in his shoes and you would more than likely buy what he is being criticized for. Would you like for the people or the government to tell you what you can and cannot buy or own? NO! Get off it! Nic Cage is a great actor. Period.And as far as 'helping charities , he does help by donating his time and money (money that he worked for) to charities and needy orginations. "Help the the children and people of Kenya"? For those of who still believe in God and doing what is morally right, Take care of what is in your own backyard. Clean up this country and then we will be in better shape to help others. Also, who was it that came up with the website godismichaeljackson, is a fool. Pure and simple.! That is blasphemy 100 % ! No human (dead or alive) can compare to God."

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...dwightmlee said "You failed to mention that he has one of the biggest egos on the planet! There’s the answer to all your questions. His financial problems – all attributable to his massive ego – but of course he blames them on others – like all the egotists always blame everything – on others!"
-
On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...jeffreyw4 said "I've always been puzzled by this "brilliant actor" buzz. Nic Cage is a reasonably competent actor and has some emotional range. But he is a one character performer. That is, he ultimately only plays himself. And a lot of his delivery has a sort of monotone blandness to it. By contrast great actors like Philip Seymour Hoffman and Daniel Day Lewis not only can emote (much more convincingly, I would add) but can also take on truly diverse roles. "
-
On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...BRUT said "Mr. Cage is a brilliant actor who has every right to spend his hard earned money any way he wants. Eccentric lifestyle adds to his box office appeal and I would feel honored to have met the man someday. You try making that much money and not being a little quirky with it. Carry on Nick - your fans will not think less of you no matter what weird things they say about you. You have provided hours of high quality entertainment for all of us and I thank you."
-
On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...tweetysmom said "His only mistake was his financial adviser. As far as what they print and what we read and get out of it, that is up to us or is it up to what they want us to believe? The reason NC does not respond to any of this; his life and he did not ask us..."

It's slander
You say it's not a sword
But with your pen you torture men
You'd crucify the Lord
And you don't have to read it (read it)
And you don't have to eat it (eat it)
To buy it is to feed it (feed it)
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual, actual

I read a lot of comments about Michael Jackson, looks like I don't even have any more words to express myself. Known as the King of Pop. Michael you make us happy in those countries they called "third world". You will always be our great entertainers, because not only for your move, you make other realize, there are others live in the planet, especially with "we are the world, we are the children'' you touch our soul, you make us realize, we can believe again in human kind. Michael thank you so much for make others remind us, when Ethiopia had a lot of problems, you help some may forgot, but we will never. We love, we will always. Like they said they copy your move, but never duplicate.
Thank you for sharing all your times, and your love to the world

a truely unique move..its surprising that with all of our decades of dance, including the masters like kelly and astair, that this move didn't occur before it did...but that shows that everthing in its time and place, and for the rest of history when dancers learn this move, it will be MJ's stamp as inventor, and master of "the moonwalk" thank you MJ..as your contribution to DANCE!!!

"The Way You Make Me feel". Michael Jackson Is The Father of Music, He Moon Walked On Our Souls and Hearts, He Showed Us To "Heal The World Make It A Better Place For You And Micheal". Thank You Our King Of Pop or Should I Say Thank You King Of Music Entertainment. You Will Always Be The"Man In The Mirror".

Just too bad "Death" is always unexpected, else there probably would have been remedy for it.
God gaveth and He taketh!

It's sad that you have left this world, the world itself will miss u MJ, all the continents, children, lover of music and me are missing u. rest in peace.
I hope he had known Christ before seeing death, may all his good deeds be remembered especially his gift of food to the refugees which even the high and mighty so called rich men could not do.
