King of Pop Silenced at 50

Parthaab, she's not talking herself. Read it properly. It's from a book by someone else who was a friend of his, and it was written in 1991.

NOW, the girls are speaking! Note the timing!

Parthaab, this is not true, she's not after his money..at the moment.

MJs death should bring the focus on the poor health care funding for males in the androphobic US of A, resulting in their earlier deaths, as compared to females.

He was purely a money spinner for all the females in his life. His ex-wife now wants all his money - PROVING, THAT TO THE 'MODERN' MONEY-MINDED WOMAN, THE BEST HUSBAND IS THE DEAD ONE.

WAKE UP MALES! SPEAK UP!

Masadi Mian is now an expert on Pop Music too. Lage raho Masadi Mian.

MJ a personification of the peonification of the colored folk by the white man- that is enough wisdom for you all for the day.....

No.....I still do not agree..

because , then it was the pakistnai POP , which took over ...

Nazia , Zhoaib phenomena had its origin in Indian exposure ,

But it was Alamgir, Sheykhi, Tara Ghansham,Afsheen, Amjad Hussain, ....and a bit later , Vital Signs, Junoon, Ali Haider,Awaz ... Hadiqa Kiyani,....etc..etc which took over

and this strom of RAW POP Music .... did not left anything for any one to look for the Inidan alternative... it created its own , enough and sufficient momentum .... which saw Pakistan rough away the Zia's distortions in the society.


Yes .... it was later on, starting with First BB term, ...which swang a Bit .....then again recovered .... with the comming of People like Shiraz Uppal, Shehzad Roy, Abrar , Solo Haroon, and Solo Fakhir ....Adnan Sami ..etc...


But at present , though its still not a complete Bollywood's but it does appears... Pakistani Music is gradually loosing ground.


Because now Singers like Atif,...etc...have turned their attention toward the bigger Bollywoood market.

and it has now become almost a purely Market oriented affair.

Re: # 21
You are talking about the gold old days of Pak films before Zia's misguided Islamization destroyed it. Bolywood's influence on Pak culture dramatically increased because of lack of alternative entertainment in the local tongue.

Re: # 21 & # 22
Afat
Yes, and well said!!!

...and as far as Bollywood influence is concerned in music.


Pakistani and Bollywoood music were running a parallel thread

If India had Kishore, Mukeysh, Rafi, Lata and Asha .

Pakistan had Ahmed Rushdi, Masood Rana, Saleem Raza, Noor Jehan ,.....and later Naheed Akhter and Mehnaz.


..... infact , every now and then, one finds, Indians lifting up a Pakistani song, re-singing and re-mixing it to include it in their films...

Watch Zhoaib 's Dhoom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9P8CHcZsGU


and compare it with MJ's Billy Jeans

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fHoDWc22B0



song is different , music is different , melody is different, ....... except Picturization.


Jhoom show its clearly being inspired by the Picturization of Billy jeans.

the same, three frame cuts , and joining after a pause, Jhoom even showed the Tiger ....


..... so yes , Pakistani POP was inspired by M J .



and we used to sing, Beat it , and dance to thriller .

Re: # 16 RiazHaq
What I am saying is trying to clarify what you said earlier in your prior post about bollywood's influence of liking MJ? in Pak land.

There is absolutely NO association of such influence.

I grew up in Pakistan and all my school friends and I adored MJ and worshiped him like a Music GOD....We never got any influence from bollywood.....

Also, I watched and witnessed other Pakistanis loving MJ for their independent likings, absolutely no association with any bollywood influence.....please, make corrections..

Yes, you're right Pak land watch bollywood movies as well. That is different issue......no relationship with MJ.

Thanks

Re: # 13Zeena,,,well said..,''
MJ was famous even in remote parts of Pakistan where they don't even know the name bollywood...''
its a fact,even people and school kids in Pakistan who even did not understand English properly,loved MJ.

Re: # 16RIAZHAQ...MJ is famous all over the world and I disagree that MJ never had any attention in Pak,since my high school days in Pakistan I seen people listening to his music,as far Indian movies are concerned,I never like indian movies because they are copy of Hollywood movies,anyhow that is another topic but I think MJ been as popular in Pakistan as in rest of the world.

Re: # 13
Are you suggesting Michael Jackson is better known than SRK in Pakistan?

IMHO, I don't think so. Just watch any tv channel, or read any print media, you see pictures of Bollywood stars and trivia about the Indian celebs. I don't think MJ ever got that kind of attention in Pak.
