Yes, the beginning is quite danceable!

But do you remember the video? He was stalking that woman. She needed to be skipping to the courthouse for a restraining order…

And LaToya was in that one as a bystander. Keeping it in the fam.

I was not going to make my first comment on the 32 Days a pop cultural one, but I have to point out Deesha - any woman with no great dance ability (since we know you include yourself can put on heels and walk across the room when ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’ comes on and it is transcendant. That woman will not only look beautiful, she will feel like perfection and sensuality floating across the room.

All you have to do is pace your walk with the simple beginning of the song …

This is what kills me about MJ - for each gift, and every possible transgression, I still feel like magic when that song comes on and I can walk across a floor. Even if I’m just in the mall food court.

Michael, Michael, Michael, what can I say? He has taken us from his adolescent to I don’t know where. While I was an avid Prince fan, I still enjoyed the sounds of what was Michael Jackson.

While people claim Micheal has a skin condition, I believe it is more of a mental and psychological condition. I don’t believe for one minute Michael has a skin condition he has issues with self love. He has gone over the top trying to recreate himself in someone else’s imagine.

Even the interview where he said it was ok to sleep with little boys. Someone should of seen that as a cry for help. But instead, everyone sat back and watched him self destruct. Brittnry Spears has been forced into therapy someone should of put Michael there long ago.

@Yvette:

I had forgotten all about those 45s that used to come on the cereal boxes! Man, that’s a blast from the past!

From a sweet, handsome, brown face with a fantastic dancing body and happy singing voiced little boy to a flaming nut! I miss Michael the Magnificent. He was/is blessed with such talent. Now, I am a unwilling witness to such obvious self loathing that it is too painful to watch.

Something happened to him. We really don’t what it was. We can see how it has affected him. That is why seeing him so altered and called Wacko Jacko by wanna be fake news shows makes me both sick and angry.

My sister and I used to have Prince/MJ arguments all the time … I always thought Prince was too “weird” to be listening too.

Who would have thought that he came out to be the “sane” one.

“Rock with you” transported me to the roller rink, low lights flashing, clapping and swaying awkwardly on rental skates… I didn’t even realize I had this deep memory, but your playlist took me there. Thank you!

@Ink: Delusional, they are. I screamed way louder for Prince, and while my interest in him as a sex symbol has waned (too feminine for my adult taste), I still cried half the night when I saw him live on the “Musicology” tour.
