I’m glad that others are finally starting to notice what I’ve been battling with for so long now. the deliberate attempt to rewrite history and attack michael’s character during ‘thriller’.
it’s out of jealousy and resentment of its success and enduring popularity over their personal favourite eras, that they do this. many were rooting for the 40th anniversary documentary to fail before it was even released. things got so bad in that thread (which should have been a safe haven for me) that I abandoned the board for months, before putting a whole bunch of people on ignore..
despite being a fan my entire life, I’ve been reduced to a mere ‘casual’ for preferring ‘thriller’. opinions are fine ( I personally think it’s pointless to argue over them) as long as they align with the majority it seems.. otherwise you’re targeted and ganged up on.
I would never dream entering threads about the later years just to bash them, and uplift ‘thriller’. yet fans do just that in regards to ‘thriller’ to prop up the later years.
I really wish there was a community that dealt solely with the early eighties
I'm surprised my their surprises, you have made thread in the past about the division between Jackson between these two areas,
Yes the 40th anniversary where they were far enough to enjoys, sure it was not perfect, but I'm 100% agree with you about their reactions, lot of peoples have hated the project or the doc before that have been released, I don't remember to have seen lot of doc with so much new footages, or hear all these new demo, but hey I'm the hater.
It was like that a long time ago, I rassure you, talk about Victory tour, it's his solo tour are superiors, talks about his brothers, they all suck, talk about music video from early 80's, they are not as good than his later music video etc...it's really like there are two Michael Jackson, I can't count the numbers of thread with Thriller overrated, like you say it's like they feel frustated and threatened because they don't have seen the Jackson Mania with Thriller.
I don't talk about the famous: "he have the same face since Thriller, he have never changed."
About the MJ early 80's forum again it was great, very sad that they have been closed
