Stephanie Mills Laughs at Rolling Stone's '200 Greatest Singers' List, MJ Ranked #86 (Part 13)

[@MishaElRusito]

She needs to be a regular guest on this show. She's one of those people who go against the grain. Full of wisdom and intelligence.

[@dneenLovesMJ]

Facts!

[@xavierwilliams4119]

Too many times isn't good.

[@Severah115]

Nah

[@misterbee66]

That is why I loooooove her.

[@writerdirect]

no she speaks beautifully but talks gibberish and lies through her teeth but sounds like shes making sense; shes beautiful to listen to

[@ungalld]

She’s a breathe of fresh air to listen to... So calm, humble and all that good stuff... I see why MJ loved her.

[@writerdirect]

the only problem is shes 50 per cent wrong and says it with conviction; she is lovely to listen to; looks amazing; you could still put her in her dorothy costume and get away with it; but actually no humble etc; lying through her teeth on half of it; manipulative self involved narcissistic; doesnt really care whos shes lying on; does it with a sense of righteousness; this is why directors at time loathe actors

[@writerdirect]

one of stephanies big lies which i dont know if she tells here; but one i heard her say with conviction; michael was going to give all his money to minister farrakahn; which is total bs; michael ( who i developed a project for ) would never leave his money or give his money to anyone but his kids and his mom ; period and minister farrakhan who is a complicated character; a genius who spouts at times racist bs; would have certainly taken the money; michael did not offer it to him and the minister did not turn down the money becauses hes spiritual; and stephanie says both with conviction and both statements are 100 per cent false

Saying that he wasn't a great singer just a great performer is just ridiculous and ignorant. People wipl not pay tickets to his shows and buy his albums in record numbers just cause he was "a great performer" I think you probably just listened to his no.1 hits only and disregarded his other songs.

[@dragonballsuper1519]

If Donny Osmond had dropped Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, HIStory, Invincible, etc he would be at the number one position on Rolling Stone’s magazine, 100% no doubt about it. Michael Jackson shattered the system, sat on top of the world, brought hundreds of millions of people together that they worked hard to keep separate and they have never forgiven him for pushing pop above rock. Yes great bands like Metallica, Guns & Roses and Nirvana persisted but the bread and butter of Rolling Stone magazine was severely diminished and the 80s can be considered a Rock Demolition Decade because pop and hip hop have been reigning supreme ever since.

Celine Dion actually called out the Rolling Stones Magazine back when she started her Las Vegas Career, because they would send critics who critiqued heavy metal rock concerts to HER concerts and started staying her shows were bad. So she called them out about sending rock listener to review a concert about love songs. Since then, they have always placed on top terrible lists and never really appreciated her artwork. Since then if you look at any of their articles or her album reviews, the are ALL NEGATIVE. and Celine Dion is a foreign born singer, who sings in french and english, often times, US chart rankings dont even include her albums before he became famous in french or most of her french albums.
