PYT kicks the arse of both those tunes.

Affects Shatner's Basoon
Not at all....I did always look forward to seeing the videos because they were truly something else. That side of things he was way ahead of others and then much copied. But I never liked more than a few songs.
Best vocal he ever did was on Jackson 5 stuff before all the stupid little tics IMO.

Off The Wall and Thriller had some great singles on it, indeed they're his best work

They were aslo both accepted in maintream dance venues and the more selective soul clubs . His star burnt bright for a while but he was soon dismissed as mainstream pulp bythe more choosy punters . He never really appealed to me but those two albums were pretty compulsory if you liked clubbing at the time.

Singe Gainsbourg
heh heh.
you is trouble.
when the first erm, allegations about him came out I used to work with a big MJ fan who would sing his stuff as he went about his day.
one day I says "you know that song PYT?" he just launches right on into it, singing away lustily, and then realises. and slowly gets quieter and stops.
he didn't find it funny. not like me.

I don't know how you can call him crap. He's made some brilliant pop.
I can call him crap because I don't think he's made some brilliant pop.
Simple, really
Pfft jefe, now it's cool to like Jacko you hate him. I bet when it was all paedotime everywhere you were running Michael Jackson themed club nights, you revisionist
damn! rumbled!
it's so HARD to keep up sometimes. Where do we stand on Ultravox at the moment?

Moustaches and grey raincoats, cool. Bellowing synthpop, ironic distance. I'll twitter any updates as and when.

Vienna is awesome
especially not Smooth Criminal. it's wank

Not even Billie Jean?
nope.
I really can't stand him, and it's not a stance or anything. I don't find him funky or soulful or involving - it's just lifeless to me
and i hate his voice / vocal tics

What... not even Earth Song?

Don't Stop Til You Get Enough and Gotta Be Starting Something are funky as fuck.
Gotta Be Starting Something is the latest thing of his I even partly like.
It's all so slick and soulless and shiny, puts me off.

Soulless - bollocks - meaningless word
no, not in the sense of soul music. It lacks the quality of "soul" music that I like. So in this context, a perfectly meaninful world

I was joking about Earth Song btw.
I have been forever scarred for life by the song 'Little Susie' on the HIStory album about a girl who gets abused and falls down the stairs and dies.
Whenever I meet people who have heard that song we share a moment, we both know we'll never be the same again.

but it's POP music
Well I don't happen to think it's very good pop music. I don't find it funky at all. It's just over-stylised studio slickness and a high-voiced bloke hiccuping over the top

I know what Orang Utan means though, pop music doesn't necessarily have to have soul does it?
Do Girls Aloud have soul?
No,but they're great pop music.
This it the thing, i don't find him soulful, funky, engaging, poppy, etc
he fails (IMO) by every single criteria he's judged by

Studio slickness isn't necessarily a bad thing - I like good production, even overblown pompous production
