The king is dead?

Don't feel bad, Mono. Chinese people aren't known for their dancing.

I saw a youtube video about MJ dancing.  First time I watched him dance for more than a few seconds.  I know next to zilch about dancing but I finished watching with the impression that he was really, really good.  The question "is this humanly possible" popped up a few times in my head.

Was it just clips of his or a whole performance?

This is greatest live performance

And of course there's Thriller. Skip ahead to 4:40 to get to the music.

Supposedly Jackson left his kids a catalog of 200 unreleased songs.

If it's music that he wrote himself, it's going to be garbage.  Jacko was an amazing singer and dancer, but he was also a barely literate moron.  I'm not sure that he ever had any kind of actual schooling, and you can tell from listening to him in interviews that he was a total dumbass.  Not 100% sure but I think all of his famous music was written for him.

In "Smooth Criminal" he used steel cables to lean forward so far; otherwise I think everything else he did was done without any help.

He wrote Beat It, Billy Jean and The Girl is Mine on Thriller and nearly everything on Bad.  I don't know about his later albums.

  For some reason I thought the guy who wrote 'Thriller' wrote 'Beat It' and 'Billie Jean' too.  Oops

I watched the videos for Beat It, Thriller, and Billy Jean for the first time a few days ago. Now, I can't stop watching them.

This could be such a clever stunt. "Shit, we have no money. The guy was totally penniless. Ok, let's write 200 songs and pretend they were his."

Incidentally, for people who think that IP is the same as real property and piracy is theft - shouldn't it work the other way round as well? I mean, if he left his kids a pot of gold, his estate's debtors would be able to recover their debts from it. So shouldn't the same apply to proceeds from his unreleased songs as well?

Where there's a will there's a way.

What are none of his kids brown?
