i am not jesus but i have the same initials

4:40 for Michael Jackson

that's got to be the only round of applause IDS has ever gotten

I love Jarvis:) whether or not Jackson was trying to be Jesus or relate to Jesus or whatever, the fact was the performance was SO over the top! Have you seen it? It was the Fucking Brit awards not a fucking baptism. The word I'm looking for is "American", the whole thing was to far.

Jarvis Cocker is a great guy and a national treasure. He doesn't even dislike MJ. Has said he liked his music. Pulp were one of the best bands of the 90's and had a 20 year career and a mercury music prize winner. Whenever they get back together they are invited by all the main festivals around the world to headline, as they did so brilliantly at Reading a few years ago. Hardly a flash in the pan.

Michael Jackson never took credit for the moonwalk. He explained where he got it from.

apart from anything else i didn't hear cocker making light of jackson's "philanthropy" he criticised him for pretending to be jesus

God love ya Jarvis Cocker.

He didn’t invent the moonwalk. It’s been around for years. It’s first recorded in Jazz dancing and is called the backslide. He might have coined the name moonwalk.

None of MJ's songs are a patch on Do You Remember the First Time/Disco 2000/Common People so put that it your pipe and smoke it.

"wash your hair too" hmmm.... i had a feeling this was the kind of elevated criticism you were going to offer

the jackson performance at the brits was in really bad taste he got what he deserved. the part where he turns into jesus and "heals" the poor peasants is beyond ridiculous

Can't we live in a world where we can like both MJ and Jarvis? :P

no, what you mean is YOU haven't heard of him. I think we both know that's something completely different. and just so you do know, pulp were one of the most amazing and influential british bands, had fantastic records, and jarvis cocker's sunday service is the quite possibly the most amazing radio show in existence. perhaps you should have looked that up before making claims.

Now that is a classic. What a word to spell wrong. "Intellagent" what is that? Made me laugh so much. Thank you. Fantastic.

He didn't invent the moonwalk, it was street break dancers who invented it.

holy shit when people talk about mj they really are bitter and have not a fucking clue what their talking about

He did not invent the moonwalk, just popularize it.

can't say i've heard that one, but i'm gratified to see you have a sense of humour, basic though it may be!

Jarvis said that MIchael Jackson had stopped making good records 20 years earlier (ie up until the '90's) but I think that's a little harsh. Dangerous from '91 was a solid album and the singles from HIStory around the time of the Brits incident were great as well (Scream and Earth Song, it was only You Are Not Alone that was maybe a bit sappy). Jackson would probably have recorded more good songs in the early 90's if his career hadn't have been put on hold due to the allegations about him in '93. As for his Brits performance yes, it was very over the top and maybe too self mythologising but if you're going to go way OTT you might as well go as far over the top as you can.

jarvis cocker is only remembered for being linked to MJ? well, that's a load of balls.

Geoffrey from Shalamar invented the Moon Walk, teaching it to Jackson.

the performance in question certainly "healed" my insomnia

you're not dead, hadronne , just unconscious

To correct JC ,MJ didn't invent the moon walk.

Jarvis Cocker is a legend

“He invented the moonwalk”? What? Michael was way more than that. I hate the misconception he was only who he was for the 80s. When I think of Michael and all his influence- the moonwalk feels like not even a penny worth of what he brought to the world

Thank You! I couldnt have said it better

6:33 I love it when he says that ...even thou he didn't invent it

M j did not invent the moonwalk people! Do your research! He made it more popular but did not originate it! Google it!

@strangefurt64 im sorry about my pomptness during this episode, i have been occasionally preoccupied, please dont let me detain you further

Jarvis Cocker is a legend we salute you in Great Britain !! ************

Hitchens was right on the money about the ID database, use and sharing of which is presumably outside of the protections of the DPA.

@strangefurt64 wow you do seem to have gotten on your high horse now that you have read a couple typos, you would be amazed at the amount of typos i make ฉันลาดเทพูดภาษาอังกฤษได้เป็นอย่างดี

cocker has the longest fingers i've ever seen

I understand the opinon on the 1996 Brits performance, it was over the top... but as for everything else he said it's kind of disrespectful... Dangerous and HIStory were incredibly successful and have some absolute classics as well as having many number one hits. plus, he didn't just invent the moonwalk, to put Michael Jackson's visions and talents into just that one thing is a complete injustice in itself... the reason he's looked up to so much is because he broke down racial and social barriers through his music (MTV were failing and refused to show Billie Jean, because they rarely feature black artists and music that wasn't rock, but they had to show it just because it was so popular, this allowed artists like Prince and later Beyonce to have a huge step in into industry with the hopes of international stardom), he invented many dance moves (the smooth criminal lean, the Billie Jean Kick, crotch grab stuff, the shuffle forward movement he does, the strut and loads more), plus the guy gave over a third of his income to charities, broke countless world records, pretty much revolutionised the music video and tours

Jarvis Cocker's answer was like this: "ermm mmm errr errr mmmm uh uh *scratches head* errr mmm uh uh errr yeah. errr hmmm I errr. errr. mmmm... I errr mmmmm mmm errrr *scratches head* errrr mmmm." What?

@strangefurt64 do you fancy him or something?

@bigbigmjfan Pulp and Jarvis are not over. Jarvis has played a few gigs this month and Pulp are headlining many festivals this year.

A page full of people who believe in their imaginary friend!

This is more true today than ever. Almost like it was planned far in advance. Pure bloods

He didn't actually invent the moonwalk, he nicked it off someone else and changed the name.

He didnt invent the moonwalk, he popularized it. He was still highly successful even 20 yrs ago. Thats 1989. Dangerous hadnt even came out. Jarvis is a great artist we all know he was intoxicated at the awards and in this vid he should have worded himself better.

James Brown did many years before him

vas is "grudge und dump"? are zey ein new singing group?

@strangefurt64 I'm english ish, so what else can we find out about each other

It's Petey. :D

MJ didn't make great records in the last 20 years? Black or White? Jam? In The Closet? Remember The Time? Heal The World? Who Is It? Give In To Me? Will You Be There? Dangerous? Scream? They Don't Care About Us? Stranger In Moscow? Earth Song? (massive hit) You Are not Alone? (also a massive hit)

about me: i'm an artist i hate ugly curtains (oooohh) i like to listen to music while i'm writing bitter, angry comments about jarvis cocker. an artist is a person of integrity, so i spend all day and night writing bitter, angry comments about jarvis cocker under various pseudonyms what i hate most: jarvis cocker's ugly curtains

@strangefurt64 but its too tantalizing, and i feel i've bonded with you this last hour. if we've been chatting this long does it make us friends? things i should be doing seem so less interesting now

Lol, Cocker saying MJ hadn't made any hits in the past 20 years. His last album sold 13 million copies. Oasis' last album sold 1/3 of that. Case closed. :)

First I would like to state that I am not a Michael Jackson fan...cleared this my impressions about Mr Jarvis Cocker ... just a cocky little man who increased his notoriety with a cheap vulgar gesture...at 6:01 when directly interrogated he mumbles a semi-conservative answer resulting into a ridiculous attempt to defend his miserable character.

oh i have, i'll leave you "two" to talk to each other shall i?

- He's genious because... he invented the moonwalk... - No, he didn't. - Then... he is... Next question, please?

Earth Song is one of the most pompous, self-important, pretentious and boring pop songs ever written. And during that Brit Awards performance, which went on for over 10 minutes, Jackson posed as some kind of all-powerful, supernatural healing figure, adored by all the world's children. Jarvis Cocker was NOT the only person who sat there thinking, "This is utterly fucking stupid and wrong." But he was the only person who did something about it. Good for him.

Michael had Global fame, while Jarvis had UK fame.

what a scintillating wit you have there, JCUnsanitary. i like arguing with pond life like you, you´re such an easy target.

@RuthWheeeeeeeeler thanks to youtube's stupid new layout, am unable to give you thumbs up for your comment. in the meantime allow me to do it verbally. cheers!

who is Jarvis Cocker?

I love Jarvis.. but Bill Bailey was doing the moonwalk in the 50's...

Oh we we wouldn't DREAM of killing people when YOUR around,Jarvis! *Puppy eyes* *GIGGLE*

Jarvis doesn't know that MJ didn't invent the moon walk. I don't think he give a toss about ever knowing... That's not his scene. Touch little boys isn't his scene either.

well this guy jarvis has good voice a little bit but as a person acts silly and boring not to mention disrespectful...Michael on the other hand seems very nice person and talented genious musician

Jarvis was just jealous. 80% of people didn't know who he was before...and they thought it was a retarded fan by the way he was acting and conducted himself. Come to find out it was a washed up entertainer who wanted some attention. He got a few headlines only because it was attached to Michael. A month later people forgot who he was...or only remembered his name and associated it with an ass-goblin who desperately wanted attention by disrespecting a fellow artist like a pathetic child.

"He was pretending to be Jesus" 🤣🤣🤣

funny you should say that, Legend. i was just about to ask

@MJJFanVideos don't you mean "understooded"? (only joking!)

Cocker doesn't know what he's talkin' about. That Jackson hadn't released anything great during the last 20 years of his life? Oh, come on!!! HIStory (1995) is his meanest album ever and that level of fury, gloom and urgency serves its contents excellently, because it resulted in his arguably brainiest release ever. It is, by the way, also the biggest-selling double-album in history, no pun intended. :-) His next release, Blood on the Dancefloor (1997), has got some serious retrospective reviews and is the biggest-selling remix album in history. His last studio album released during his lifetime, Invincible (2001), is quite uneven in quality since like about one third of it is fairly questionable; however, the rest/majority of it is without a doubt some of the most impressive pop music to have emerged in the past 15 years. Plus the album, in spite of an insufficient promotion, managed to sell 13 million copies worldwide. Sorry, Jarvis, that Jackson got mentally messed up due to the 2005 trial and hadn't got to release any new material in the last 6 years of his life. What a massive problem, eh?

ENVY, this is the reason these people were dying of envy the success of Michael, so did these stupid things to parecer.que sorry for them...hahahahaahahahaahahahaha

hello hello, looks like the thumb-bandits have returned from their holiday!

quite right, hardonne. jackson didn't bear a grudge. right after he got his lawyers to try and prosecute cocker with a false accusation of injuring a number of children, he put it behind him and forgot all about it!

Exactly. I can't believe that there are people out there who actually think that Michael was making himself out to be a god in that video. It's people like those who have twisted minds.

so jarvis.. you know ....michael wasn't a genius just because he invented the ''moonwalk'' he was a genius because he did something that you never did and will never do even in the 80'90'00' ...in fact he didn't invent the moonwalk ..(and he said so many times) but he was very proud of genius like fred astaire or jakie wilson

how envious of cocker to assume jackson was pretending to be jesus, just because he was standing in white robes with arms outstretched, healing children by touch. it's obvious to anyone with half an eye he was doing an impersonation of batman. and yes, he did cure people. 1996 was a rough year for me and i thought i would never laugh again until i saw his performance at the brits.

Whatever that makes you feel better buddy.

Michael Jackson' s performance at those Bit Awards was awful and disgusting. And yes, he was pretending to be the Messiah or whatever. Jarvis didn't even do much, it was all blown out of proportion.

Τhis happens when you are jealous. King of POP rest in peace!

Thank for that. I did not know that I did that. I write so fast and not thinking that I don't check what I had wrote. Thank You.

@jeffhrsn it says much that the act he was interrupting with his simulated flatulence was vastly improved by it.

For him to say Michael's music wasn't good for the past twenty years is laughable..Because if it wasn't as good as Mr.Cocker says then Michael wouldn't have sold over 1 billion records world wide. Also the performance on the Brit awards that Mr.Cocker was speaking of was a great performance. Yes it may have been over the top but it still got the fans screaming Michael! Michael!

Toffee-nosed snots. I've never heard of Jarvis Cocker. Now that I have, I will do my best to forget him.

Zekee27, did jackson tell you about his childhood and his achievements first hand or did you learn it via (gasp!) the media? everything we know about him is from what we´ve read or watched. some of us draw our own conclusions and some of us are so dazzled by his funny dancing and squeaky voice that we don´t want to know about the dodgy aspects of his life. oh, and the proof that he slept with children is in the interview where he says something along the lines of "i sleep with children

Michael Jackson didn't invent the moonwalk....

Its funny how Michael gave him a lesson by being kind and never saying anything bad about Jarvis even tho he sabotaged his performance, not one thing... but Jarvis, thats different story... thats the big lesson, thats what Michael was, he didnt think of himself as a god, he only claimed that art is an instrument of god thru people... he was a spiritual person.

so did he take issue with the beetles literally saying they were bigger then Jesus ?

true, brian, although it must be remembered that considering nuitetjours, strangefruit, hadronne and sunnyday are all the same person, he did tremendously well. it can't be easy skipping from one channel to another in the heat of a debate, especially with only one ball. in the end, though, bad temper and lack of imagination proved his downfall, in much the same way as it did in 1945

@MJJFanVideos not at all, i was merely drawing attention to the fact that your sarcasm was a misfire in view of your chosen name. (btw the past tense of "upset" is "upset", not "upsetted")

Jarvis who???

Interesting that ID cards are being discussed in the same year as the the 'pandemic' of 2009. And here they come again.

@strangefurt64 I'm sorry, is that the best you can do? have you forgotten whats going on?

this local british never been talking about great records

Obviously this Jarvis dude doesn't much about music at all, ...after all. But I kinda sense some sarcasm in what he says, however I still resent him and find that he brought nothing to the music industry whatsoever as opposed to Michael Jackson who paved the way for so many.

I would never known this CLOWN if it wasn't for Michael. Good to see he didn't have a life or career after that

@ThePsychoEwok sorry for last message i completely misread your comment

they aplaud the tory later he wanted id cards when they were in power

..actually he coulda been REALLY cruel and quoted "earth song": ("what about elephants, have we lost their trust?") priceless!

I don't know why people keep comparing Jarvis Cocker and Michael Jackson to one another ...speaking of which what are you doing. both are talented musicians AND writers from two very different genres. both had deep lyrics

how can anybody dislike Jarvis? No, really!

judging by the arguments i've been having with this guy, i doubt if it's anyone as advanced as Bubble!

hes a fucking legend. it doesnt get better than him. it just doesnt.
