While I have no love for Eminem, his videos are actually kinda funny.
"Tito, give me some tissue."
BET only stands up for free speech when they agree with it...
hipocrits.
heres a thought michael, stop giving eminem so much material.
Want to see the video? Go to http://launch.yahoo.com/ and click on Rap Videos. This song is #1 most viewed by a large margin.
> Jackson is feeling the effects of fame's fickle nature
And Bill "it's all about the O" Reilly
is next in line for this lesson.
>>an unwillingness to "disparage Michael's character..."
They don't need to disparage it. Michael's doing a pretty good job of it himself.
>>So important was Jackson to MTV that it named its Video Vanguard award, given to artists who have made outstanding contributions to the music-video medium, in his honor. In recent years, however, whether because of Jackson's lack of cool or just his general creepiness, the network has stripped his name from the award.
My how the mighty have fallen
Jackson's albums aren't selling these days (he charges
racism--huh? he's whiter than I am...though it could
be changes in taste, lack of talent, or fans
abandoning him because now they see what he's really all
about.
Why is Eminem on Black Entertainment Television anyways?
. . booted and squashed on a dance floor -- a not-so-subtle reference . .
Hard-hitting analysis . . .
LET THE NOSES FLY WHERE THEY MAY!
Musically, the video for Lonestar's "Mr Mom" was more to my taste but both that video and the Eminem one are
equally funny :)
Allegedly, he's a rap artist.
It's interesting that Michael Jackson helped to make MTV popular; I think when they first started they didn't
want to run his videos but once they did (feeling he was
more pop than R&B) they became huge successes and MTV and
MJ both rose to great financial success (and MTV wouldn't
be running rap at all if not for the fact that one of
its execs' sons was very interested in rap and the music
channel decided to take a chance on it. "Yo! MTV Raps"
and rap videos in general proved to be successful, also.
this can all be cleared up if MJ would just LEAVE THE CHILDREN ALONE! its real simple.
If he's conviced, will BET remove their MJ videos?
convicted, I mean...yuck, my typing!
I remember when Jacko had one of his mega-tours in the 1980's (it may have been the Thriller tour) he laid down all kinds of "conditions" that had to be met before he would deign to appear in a city. One was that the local newspaper had to run ads for the concert gratis. And some did, too, although there was much grumbling about it.
(steely)
Love the Mr Mom video! Haven't seen Eminem's yet and couldn't get it to play from Launch. I imagine I will catch it someday.
One is white and a woman...the other is Martha Stewart
why is MJ on bet in the first place. hasnt he done everything physically possible to erase all the "african american" in him anyway?
LOL!
