I guess he could do that useless moon walk thing of his. I've seen better dancing when I was in high school.

Did he play instruments (besides the flute that is)?

Did he write music? Lyrics?

Of the last three, only lyrics are possible, and his lyrics were as shallow as Death Valley.

That is, if he even wrote them.
He had an awesome voice from like 8-14. Had a 3 octave range, and a great natural voice tone. He was a great little dancer. There's a point (when he was 16-18 ) where he really didn't have much. His voice had changed to a mediocre male version of Diana Ross, and his body was very awkward. If he didn't have incredible creative abilities, then his career would have pretty much faded there(cuz he has never had a great singing voice as an adult.) So, I agree with you about his singing voice(from about '75 on.) His dancing, and writing ability? Have no clue how you can say he didn't have massive ability in those 2 areas. Unless it's a country or rock act, if you want to make money in a concert tour, it's now pretty much a necessity to have complex dancing involved. You grew up in SOCAL. You know the local stations (2,4,5,7,9,11, and 13.) The only one this memorial service isn't on is 13.

To paraphrase a former Scuds quoute:

I think LA folk would pay to see whores battle each other in a wiffle ball game.

I highly doubt I said that about L.A., but I am pretty sure I said it about Chicago folks. Probably when they had the outdoor hockey game.

i never thought i would say this but watching yesterday there was one speaker of all the speakers that was by far the best , the speech was as good as any i have seen in a long time. it summed up MJ's impact on the world through music, i dare say even the great Barack Obama wouldn't have outdid him yesterday if given the chance - nice job , no great job Al Sharpton

Yeah, Great job. Way to plant the seed in 3 children under 12 that the world thought his daddy was strange.
