MTV SHOULD BE STOPPED

STOP MTV FROM TAKING THE KING OF POP TITLE FROM MICHAEL JACKSON

We, the die hard fans of Michael Jackson are pleading for MTV to stop this.

MTV should be grateful to all that Michael Jackson did for them since the THRILLER video.

It was Michael Jackson who made MTV what it is today. People started to watch MTV because of Michael Jackson.



Now MTV wants to give the King of Pop title to Robbie Williams, a singer who has some good songs but cannot ever dream to achieve the magnificence, the sheer brilliance of Michael Jackson 45 years of songs and performances on stage, since the Jackson 5 era until now with his sudden death at 50.

A "moonwalk support crew" shadowed 25-year-old Adam in an automobile, measuring his distance with an odometer. The record-setting walk formed part of a longer "Moonwalk for Earth" relay with Ramsey Brookhart (USA) and Joshua Dodd (USA), an attempt to raise awareness of renewable forms of energy. "We live under this brown cloud," said Hall, "and people don't seem to understand how much of that comes from burning coal to provide electricity. We want people to know that there are other ways to make electricity."
