Ive always been indifferent to him and his music.



No one? Are you sure about that? Because I wasn't asked.

I just watched the video and yeah, that was pretty Huge. It was neat how the spectators got involved. MJ didn't need any guests to carry the show like they all do now.

Growing up, my whole family listened to Prince, as well as a good majority of the people I associated with in school. He has always been a respected artist from what I have seen. Always will be,

No, I think it was Prince Andrew. He’s the real entertainer of the royal family.

I wasn’t the biggest Michael Jackson fan back in the day, but that Super Bowl performance looked like some immortal Gods came down from above and performed at a football game.

I agree about Prince, but I watched Michael Jackson's halftime show a few weeks ago for the first time since it happened and was not impressed. My top four are

1.) Prince
2.) U2
3.) Tom Petty
4.) Bruno Mars

It actually raining while Prince did Purple Rain was a special moment. I remember watching that live and although i was never a big prince fan(although i really liked Purple Rain) the guy was one of the greatest music talents of our time.
