Always enjoyed MJ and Jackson 5 early music pre Thriller.

Happy Easter to all, Michael Jackson biopic is breaking records, views / sales within 1st week will be over 300m, the Internet will freeze.
Awesome!
He was with his brothers not a solo singer.. they should have said the jackson 5…
Exactly! This list is so inaccurate.
There will never be another to ever compare to Michael
Yes imagine you were Michael and there was no one like yourself. Well whoever comes after him good. Just like all the black entertainers he was a black person. So anyway its kind of sad to think that whilst you’re around still that’s how you lived to see Michael. Before Michael. So after Michael it’s that really. What would you say if there was to be a black entertainer after him. Whilst during the time you lived for r eg. Myself yes you liked Michael’s music because it was during my time or that time. And before. So yes you heard about Michael. And yes you liked his music. Thank you.
There will never be another to ever compare to Michael
The real POP GOAT
Just as his song says, I can never say goodbye. Look he is back through his music 🎶 🎵 once again.
I can’t wait! I’ve always been a BIG FAN of Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 when they started out in the 70’s.
Altough head case- forever the King of Pop and best entertainer that I had pleasure to grown watching
Yes but you say there’ll never be another to compare with him. Even so. Yes but if Someone has talent for whatever. Yes it’s no wonder. He did what he did. And after then he died. He died. Can you bring him back? No he’s not here anymore. Why? Ok fine. To say no one can ever compare to him. No comment. Ok. fine.
KEEP IT IN FAMILY.
EXCELLENT!!!
