Why must people be so negative all the time?

Who says people are being negative all the time? Isn't your suggestion that people are a... (drumroll please) negative attitude of your own?

If you don't like the song or Ping then just ignore the thread and focus on something positive instead. All this effort people seem to expend nowadays putting things down or moaning could be much better spent on good things.

Like criticising ping in the hope that when Apple see the groundswell of opinion they'll either fix it or kill it and stop throwing good resources and money after bad? How is that not constructive?

Adjust your thought processes, think "How can I make the world a better place" NOT how can I spread negativity about something that I have no interest in or care little about in reality.

How does your gripe here about people griping make the world a better place?

Instead of coming here and posting things that don't add to the world, go do something nice for someone.

You may wish to attend to the beam in your eye before worrying about the mote in other people's eyes.
 
About 250 Beatles songs is included in the ATV catalogue that Michael owns half of. And the catalogue gets 50 percent of the sales per song, divided between MJs estate and Sony the record company. That means, MJ gets 25% of the income per Beatles song sold, of those 250 ones. That really are the greatest ones.

But remember, he owns the same rights of songs by these artists:

The song "Much Too Soon" was written at the time of Thriller. Michael always liked the song and would pull it back out of the vaults for each subsequent album project but never found the right home for it; on the new album it finds its place as the bittersweet closing to the stellar collection. The song was written by Michael Jackson and produced by Michael Jackson and John McClain. David Campbell is featured on the strings.

So will I be first to reference Die Hard? :cool::p

I read John McCain at first. :eek: My immediate thought was, "I never realised he produced music!" :D
 
They removed my comment about this pathetic person being a child molester?
Wow, I had no idea there were still people out there still in denial of this!

I wouldnt support this guys estate or listen to his music, if others want to that's fine with me but lets not deny the undeniable truth!

Yep, I quoted someone and mine got removed because the post I quoted was removed. They could have left mine alone. I summed it up at the top of this page.

I burned the cd I had (Thriller) awhile back. If a radio station plays a MJ song, I change the station.

Don't get me started with Elvis 'Buy that man a Cadillac' Presley.

If it was the undeniable truth, he would've been found guilty in the court of law now wouldn't he? There's quite a bit of proof of Michael being framed for a crime that he didn't commit.

For example, The man who accused Michael of molesting his son has been caught on camera saying: "We're gonna ruin him, and we're gonna be rich".

That's a bit over the top (burning a CD), isn't it? :p
 
It's first page news because Ping has an exclusive from a major artist. It's a good step for Apple in promoting Ping. I'm not a huge fan of Michael Jackson, but I definitely see exclusive content working out for Ping.

Right, and 'Skating with the Stars' has actual celebrities.
