I Just Can't Stop Loving You, Michael Jackson

What the title says.

He is very deserving of his own appreciation thread, and that song is just beautiful.

Now let's honor his memory and his musical genius.
Feel free to share pictures, videos, or discuss anything MJ related, but let's keep it positive and respectful.
This forum is a happy, shiny new place. Let's keep it that way.

Now, I will get us started. Here's a few pics:

Can't wait to see This Is It!!! I got the shirt, now all I need to do is see the actual film!!

As most of you know, I saw it and absolutely loved it. It was brilliant, but bittersweet. I loved watching him at work and was so upset that it literally was "It". But he left the world with soooooo much. We'll always have his music and pretty pictures.

I feel like pic spamming because I'm in a great mood, and Michael helps enhance that

I'll keep talking to myself in here, it's cool.

I was just going to mention casually that This Is It has been extended to Thanksgiving during it's run in theatres! So, I'll be seeing it again, probably. Only seen it once, so I'm good. I'd worry about myself if I'd seen it 5 times at this point.

And it looks as if it'll be released on dvd sometime around Christmas. Yay!!!

This is WAY good news! I've been kinda frantic about missing it in the theatres. Everytime we are gonna see it, something has come up. Jason and Aymie being here has been kinda taking our time up and I've been worried we'd miss it, only having a week left. If they extend it til Thanksgiving, I'll be a hppay camper.

I was relieved to hear about the extension too! I so want to see it again and if it sticks around in theaters, I might be able to go see it with my sister when I pop into Oklahoma for a surprise visit!

On that note, here's my MJ photo of the day.

Cool pic. Didn't know he was an outtie.

I did.

Just came back from seeing it. Loa and I LOVED it. I had no idea they had done film sequences and were meshing them with live performances! It was directed so brilliantly! Bets parts for me was Smooth Criminal (Rita Hayworth! YES!) and Earth Song. I think I cried about 3 times during that part.

I also liked how behind the scenes it all was... you really got the feel of how perfectionist MJ was about his music and dancing... and yet how kind and gentle he was. He was just an amazing man.

Would like to see it again actually... but definitely a must own when it comes out on DVD!

So glad you liked it. I was thrilled when I got your text

I really loved the Human Nature part. But I've already told you that. Smooth Criminal was the next part and it was great. I loved how they did the whole black and white movie sequence as well, and when the lights were shot out and then it went back to the stage rehearsals, and Kenny Ortega was like "Um, guys? That was the cue. Am I missing something?" and Michael was like "I'm sizzling", and other voices just come out of nowhere like "yeah, he's sizzling....he's sizzling!" i LOVED that.

That was exactly what I thought.

Great movie.

haha, nice.

I loved how MJ seemed to express himself in moods and visuals... he said stuff like that several times... like "let it simmer" and the sizzling thing.

I loved that too! When he would kick his feet in the air wildly and roll around then talk about how he was going to take the jacket off and throw it down "it's too hot, it's like fire! let it burn!!!!"

I think MJ always had a sizzle aspect to him.

Loa and I immediately thought of Jimi Hendrix. No doubt MJ was a fan and doing his own version of the setting the guitar on fire thing, but mentally with a jacket.

Hey, whatever works! MJ could have danced around in a bin liner and I would have loved it. I prefer the white kitchen ones with the yellow pull tabs. j/k!

Australian ones are black AND They have yellow pull-out tabs

oh yeah? well, I've seen black ones with RED tabs here!

MJ could have used any of them and I would have stood and clapped for it.

You're so easy to please Krissy.

Luckily he didn't resort to dancing with bin liners. He did wear some nifty outfits though! And Loa and I loved his Popeye Tshirt!

I'm really not that easy to please.....he's just been pleasing me for so long that he can literally get away with anything by this point.

Wow, everything I say about Michael can just be turned around and go straight down the gutter lately. Rawr.

I personally liked all of the skinny jeans he pulled off. well, that he wore anyway.

It's ok to be hot over a dead person... I think... I hope!

I myself can't help but stand at attention when Rita Hayworth is on the screen. I HAVE to rent Gilda now!

I think you can still find their images and past performances and such attractive. Look at how many people love Jeff Buckley and still think he is insanely attractive (or was), you know? It's not like you're thinking of their physical body in it's current state. God, that's twisted.

So yeah, You can still find someone attractive even though they have passed, definitely. There are loads of women who still think Elvis Presley is a beautiful man. My mother would slap the bejeebus out of anybody who said that Elvis wasn't attractive and he's been gone for a long time. I personally still swoon when I look at images of Freddie Mercury. Sink your teeth into that one.

I used to have the biggest crush on MJ when I was younger, and in high school, it struck again. Now that I'm so jazzed up about This Is It and the dvd release and all that, I think the little crush is back. No harm in that. He was lovely. And he sizzles. That's like, equal to jazz hands for me!

So on that note, here's an MJ pic. This is my thread after all. I'll crush all I want!



That one makes me want to go jump on the couch.
