why does showtime have random episodes where they just make as much mj references as they can
#like they're just sometimes in the mood to keep referencing mj & altho it's always respectful & actually funny is so scary as someone who's#hyperfixated ong. but keep d oing it pls :)#between jhong saying mj's voice was girl-like (not mockingly but as a gender nonconforming thing bc the male singers had high voices/soft#falsettos & somebody commented they sound like girls) & the singers moonwalking..#(& omg just made sense now why kris lawrence did that. lots of pop/r&b singers from y2k era are defos mj students :') )#mj's legacy in Pinas is so interesting it's weird to realize how i'm actually not sure of its full scope#like entertainment-wise yes his impact was huge i still remember those 80s shows where the traces of mj was so obvious. the beat it-like -#choreos in shows. the gary v performances obvs. the fashion also & even now ofc the obvs influence in pop stars & groups#but outside of entertainment how was he viewed? his philanthropy yea '95 manila hospital visit is pretty well-known#his philosophies & views in life tho..i'm not sure ppl know much about his personal life nor do they seem to care..?#i guess it's the reverence. mj's 'magical' image is so strong i think some people believe he's really an alien too before his death lmao#and some tabloid things unfortunately was widely-believed such as the 'want to be white' thing & the occult stuff bc fils love that stuff😭#ooh i wish i remember lots of stuff about showtime before the abs-cbn shutdown when billy was still there as a host all i remember is#vice's solid rants and shots @ duts administration#billy & vh0ng & jhong were defos the ones making mj references the most i feel like as the dancers w/big admiration 4 mj. esp billy who got#to dance with him in the '95 mtv awards (which is still insane to me omg)#what i'm interested about is vice tho. there was this one time in that segment where they recite quotes from famous people & they have to#guess who said it. & the mj quote they chose was not very well-known but it was one of his philosophical ones & vice guessed it correctly#on the first try...vice has this certain kind of wisdom where they're able to exhibit deep understanding & empathy for others. & ik they're#defos not perfect but i rlly feel like vice is the kind of person who would know that there's a lot to learn from mj & his philosophies. as#a performer as a philanthropist as a person who embodied kindness while also challenging the status quo#pushing against the system & society set to oppress & silence them#i feel like lots of things about mj would resonate a lot with vice. and i mean A LOT. nonconformity & the courage to be themselves...#not to say that they are very similar but i just feel like vice is the type of person who also studied the greats to apply the knowledge#they've imparted ykno. & they just generally know about a LOT of things#so i wonder how much vice knows about him. i hope they'd share more of their thoughts someday that'd be so cool#u can develop an interest over a legendary pop icon. but watch out
