Michael Jackson is Inducted into the Rock Hall: 2001

[Visaliny]

The Greatest Entertainer <3

[nat00ben06]

Timberlake and his fairies having the honer of inducted one of the greatest entertainers in the world what a joke! Name one song Timberlake wrote or sang that was worth a shit!

[neecee401100]

@nat00ben06 I was thinking that. Like why them? Of all the people they could of gotten to induct him. 

[SUPERBluegum]

nuff

[SUPERBluegum]

KING OF MUSIC FUFF SAID MUFUCKAS !!!!!!

[1junetop]

They totally disrespected one of the greatest artist of all time. the rock and roll hall of fame completely drop the ball on this induction. Because of the way they treated MJ, I refuse to watch any of that shit again. They treated Madonna better than that, and she really can't sing, and MJ has broken Every musical record there is,and that no artist in my lifetime will never be able to touch. SHAME on you ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF SHAME!!!

[treyspr]

rock n roll is dead. At least michael outlived it.

[docBOSS1444]

rock and roll is a zombie

[xchethomasx]

michaellllllllllllllll <3

[poopy1239]

i was just ramblin on youtube, and it makes me wonder. why is the kink of POP inducted into the ROCK N ROLL hall of fame?

[200damary]

@poopy1239 beat it, bad, black or white and many many more. Go look b4 you talk white trash.

[xxtasha10xx]

@poopy1239 He didn't just write pop music,in fact he hated pop music.Most of his music isn't pop.Hip-hop,aggressive hip-hop,Rock,soul,R&B,and many more different music styles.I wouldn't call "pop" a music style.The origin of "pop" is popular music.Which he made popular and timeless music and that's why it was so popular because know matter when you listen to it,it feels like it's brand new.

So yes,Michael deserved to be introduced to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[RattuTV]

Justin Timberlake & Nsync? idiot he is in NSYNC

[Getrealpeeps]

TWO PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE THIS?

SMH

:(

[FIIRE]

KING

[jacquikeeghan]

well done Michael Jackson

[stephiee58]

@dongnguyen25 niceeee words i noe ppl dat watch it r cruel on the outside buhhh jealous on the inside x i voted u up btw

[ntsamapascal]

For those complaining about MJ induction in the RnR hall of fame what about aretha franklin, stevie wonder, the temptations etc they dont do rock n roll but were inducted. MJ did do rock music research and his induction is well deserved.

[liacashmere58]

@ntsamapascal Thank you. The ''Rock'' Hall of fame isn't only for rock. Thats stupid.

[jmr1068204]

@dongnguyen25 A dead person's soul is not tormented by people talking about them. While I'm here (incorrectly linked by the incorrect tags of this video - no, I did not search for Michael Jackson whatsoever) - How do you define "success"? He disliked himself for all of his life. He had lots of money, and screwed it away into bankruptcy. His money was drug money, thinking he could drug himself up enough to get through depression. He was not born deformed - he did that to himself. Fact.

[RockyBalboa211]

@jmr1068204: He had lots of money and in death still had a lot of money. His sony music catolog that he purchased in the 80s was still worth 1.5 billion dollars. Mostly his money was given to charities, political parties (he saved the Democratic party when it had a crisis of funds), and used to pay over a 1000 lawsuits placed on him by opportunist. He took pain medication because of the severe nature of a his lupus, and the severe nature of his injuries sustained in korea in 1999.

[jmr1068204]

@dongnguyen25 Actually, the question would be...why are the "tags" in this video set for "rock and roll" and "rock hall" which are leading people to this? Secondly, why was he inducted into a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when he didn't have a freaking Rock and Roll song? He was a pop star. Sure, a few of his songs may have had a heavier beat to them - they weren't Rock and Roll. Finally, dead people are not "bothered" by other people's youtube comments about them.

[RockyBalboa211]

Because Michael was the king of pop, rock, and soul! That's his official title, given to him by elizabeth taylor. He had Beat It, and Give in to me, plus a variety of ballads. He was a success in his caring of the world. He gave 350 million dollars to charity, and started and funded existing charities. He also gave money in the care of children. He gave money to pay for hospital bills, and funeral bills of children he didn't know. He even saved a eastern european boy by finding him a liver.

[Dadsgirl240]

The hair looks horrible

[OkiroTacoBell]

the king of pop gets in to the rockenroll hall of fame ?....the fuck?

[MrThestig8]

oh my god, this was the first time i ever saw him back in 2001!

[thedarthflagger]

wow justin has aged. he looks 40 now. that's what happens you do drugs and alcohol.

[SuperDurelle]

I'm so glad that he was inducted in the Hall of Fame-Nobody deserves it more than Michael and he was always sooo appreciative everytime he won any of his awards.LOVE YOU .

[Yatess100]

Black or White is one of the most successful rock songs of all time and i would say Give In To Me and Beat It are fantastic rock songs because he doesnt hide behind the loud guitars when he's singing these songs

[lezbalagan]

there aint no stoppin, there aint no enough... justin youre a retard



[BLAKPEARL69]

Hey sexy ;) 2 time inductee fantastic. Love u MJJ.

[Kaisy900]

LOVE UUUU MIKEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

[Armando2007]

search: NO DETENGAS TU PROGRESO

[0faisca0]

rip!!!!

[TheHappynot]

MJ was a really successful pop artist but he was in the HOF before bands like The Eagles, Aerosmith, Queen, Ramones, ACDC, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Metalica

And more bands that are not even in yet:

KISS, RUSH, Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Journey, April Wine, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Motor Head, Steppenwolf, Boston, The Guess Who, Deep Purple

Again nothing against Jackson but I just dont get it. May as well call it successful music artist Hall of Fame.

[Yatess100]

@TheHappynot MJ was alot more talented than some of those people you mentioned of course afew of them should be in but you have to be eligible first

[THR336TALIA]

@TheHappynot I just wanted to remind you of the origins of rock & roll. Every now & then people forget what it used to sound like and only think of these hard rock, metal or grunge bands. Even though you didn't only name those kinds, many artist have songs with rock style incorporated. (I feel like this isn't make sense but I can't find the right way to explain it lol)

[musicapacity]

For the MJ haters: music may be the most beautiful thing in the world. It connects people and contributes to a peacefull comunity, and that also is what Michael was trying to reach through music. He literally tried to make the world a better place, and you know what, he did. But people like you made it real hard for him, and he could have reached a much higher top, could have healed the world much better if people like you weren't standing in his way. You were an obstacle to his good intentions.

[08butterfly29]

There's lots of pop stars that got entered into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a great example is Michael, but he did write some rock songs like Beat It, Black or White, Dirty Diana, Give in to Me are great examples of some of mj's rock songs. madonna got inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame now she also may have rock songs, but idk any rock songs she did, but then again im not a big fan of her.

[ABCHealTheWorld]

King Michael.

[TheRonniesaurusRex]

there will never be another... smfh

[TheHappynot]

Type up any of these songs deuce by KISS, i like to rock by April Wine, highway to hell by AC/DC that's rock. Again considering dirty diana a rock song to me is a stretch. Especially when the guy singing the song epitomizes pop music. They even introduce him as the king of pop so why is he in the Rock Hall of Fame he may have wrote 2 rock songs but is that really enough. However, you opinion is your opinion.

[LadyD164]

@TheHappynot shut the fuk up cuz mj did hella rock songs

[TheHappynot]

@LadyD164 No he did not

[musicapacity]

@TheHappynot

Rock is a course which wants to make artistic pop music, unlike the commercial music indusrty.

Considering that, Michael did make rock songs. Rock isn't just about loud guitars and noice, it's way more then that.

[Yatess100]

@musicapacity i fully agree most of the rock bands hid behind there guitars and are pretty woeful singers in truth

[LadyD164]

@TheHappynot DIRTY DIANA!!!! IS A ROCK SONG

[TheHappynot]

Why The Fuck are people like Michael Jackson and Madonna in the rock and roll of fame. MJ get's in there before AC/DC, KISS, April Wine. To make it even more pathetic he's inducted by a shitty boy band. Nothing against MJ he was successful but name a rock song he has done maybe Beat It put even that's a stretch. He should be in a music hall of fame for his accomplishments but not rock.

[dangerousblablao]

@TheHappynot DS, Privacy, Dont Walk Away, Whatever Happens, Girlfriend r some other MJ rock songs.

[blrumph1]

ever heard of dirty diana?? yea

[xxtasha10xx]

@TheHappynot Give into me,Black or White,Beat it and many more.You seem to have a distorted image of what rock is.Rock isn't just about the heavy stuff.

[neecee401100]

Why they have N-Sync do it? They should got Janet that would of been nice =)

[born2lose1]

WHAT COLOR IS MICHAEL JACKSON!!!????

[ravengoo]

12strings--All they wanted was Michael's money. Michael never molested anyone, and it makes me livid when the media has such influence on narrow minded people such as yourself. If all you have in your heart is hatred, I truly pity you.

[twonk08]

@dongnguyen25 i'm totally with you dude, people always talking shit about michael jackson, the man was a total genius and deserves to rest in peace, so all you haters should firstly stop watching his video's and second fuck off and die.

[lovemj4evr]

MJ is so beautiful and humble. God was good to MJ - he sent him to help save our sorry asses. We better be making some changes or it will be too late......

[hanane1990]

he's totally deserve it

where is his parents!!??

[gstarttrustguest]

ne1 think they are juicing his death alil too much...?

[kaicc]

hey, anyone know which month did it in??

[hanane1990]

i think it was in march 19th 2001

[mustbegut]

ravengoo , just ignore or forgive those hater , they saying bad thing becoz they was rising up in Loveless...I believe very soon they will realize how Precious Michael is. I feel painful too, crying and praying God to protect for Michael everyday !!!!

[ravengoo]

Michael--I love and miss you so much--more! If I could die in your place so that you could come back, I would do so without a second thought. You had so much to offer to the world. I am nothing. You were so beautiful--your smile contagious. Your heart pure and genuine. You were one of a kind. I love and miss you so much--I cry daily missing you. I wish I could hold you, to let you know how much you are truly loved. Thank you so much for all you brought to my life. I love you MORE--the MOST! <3

[ravengoo]

12stringsfor me--Who are you to judge? Are you perfect? Are you without faults? Michael did NOT molest children--he would never hurt a child, ever! Do you believe everything you hear about people you don't know? Let me tell you one thing. Don't believe everything you hear, and only half of what you read. Michael loved children, and he would never molest them. God bless this man! He's not in hell, but with God. He had a pure, genuine, kind, loving heart and soul.Judge not lest ye be judged.

[mjforeverfan23]

Great response thank you

[12stringsforme]

This fact is established, and everyone knows it, including you. Idolizing a molester like that is akin to having a picture of Hitler on the wall-neither wins you any points.

[electronichell]

@12stringsforme Another ignorant comment

[hanane1990]

sad

i will pray for you

[12stringsforme]

Save your prayers for his victims. Not that a delusional god can actually help anyone.

[AlovesMJ]

Michael looks amazing, love when he weares white :)

[untooouchable]

i love mjjjjjj <3

[newcarscent7]

m.j. was frikken awesome..

[xxtasha10xx]

@newcarscent7 He still is :) He left us his music.

[A11L9E]

well i don't know how many times a person can be inducted in the rock and roll hall of fame but i think that twice isn't enough to honour michael...he should've been inducted every single era...and stiil it would be enough...he deserves the best cuz he is the best...the best of all times...the best now and the best forever...

[AlovesMJ]

Well said! he's in a class of his own period!

[A11L9E]

*wouldn't be enough

*still

[mjforeverfan23]

Amen to that!!!!!

[Trinitysx]

WHAT THE FUCK... seriously 2 times....

[neecee401100]

@Trinitysx he was inducted with his brothers u know the Jackson 5? in like 1997 and then as a solo artist in 2001. I mean John Lennon has been inducted twice. Once with the Beatles and then as a solo artist.

[capano93]

@ wackojacko.... you are a little bitch grow up buddy!

[MJINMYHRT]

@wackojackoSUCKS - get a life you creep. Get off this site! You must love Michael Jackson to be You Tubeng him you efffing freak!! You will never be the man Michael was, because you are a dirt ball!!

[ShiShaManYaK]

[Debbierahxxx]

LOL, think what you like,

geez, how can people carry so much hatred for someone they never knew/met.

I've always breen brought up to realise that it is better nature to assume the best in a person and not rely on rumors but on personal verification of what is true and what's not. However OBVIOSULY, some people don't think like that.

Pitty really.

Oh and one again.

LOL.

[hy867129]

mj is the best

[hanane1990]

he deserve it

[padussia]

mj is alive, i love you mj.

[navigator012007]

Bequeathed...nice word usage, Mike!

[pureorpureh]

man michael is fugz

[donise121]

Half of the persons/groups in the Rock Hall of Fame don't belong there in the pure sense of what is "Rock & Roll" however you may be defining it.

[BiggyDogMan]

A musical rock genius. I love you Michael. God Bless.

[LuluLovesYouMore]

Beat It, Black Or White, Dirty Diana, Give Into Me are examples of Rock songs he made, but I agree that it should be Popular Music Hall of Fame.

RIP Michael!

x

[spacecase3196]

@LuluLovesYouMore Michael jacksons music is considered rock and roll. Rock amnd roll splits up into Rnb soul, rock, hard rock etc. Rock and Roll came from blues, and jazz....

[Guitarscreech06]

Why does the R&R Hall of Fame induct artists that don't do rock music? They might as well change the name to Popular Music Hall of Fame.

[AtlantaAngel84]

because rock and roll sucks.

[SkaterFippe4]

rest in peace michael jackson but...seriously, why the hell is he in the hall of rock? he did not compose or play any rock songs at all, it's kinda funky or dance-music

[LightPure]

Beat It and Black and White are Rock music.

[SkaterFippe4]

well prob. you're right

[flyeast100]

i love his words about his parents. great!

[MyKiCkNtOoNiE]

WOOOOOOO MICHAEL JACKSON!

[hotlipsadele]
