Michael Jackson Roll Cuff T-shirt

Jackson_2The rumours, scandal and cosmetic surgery of recent years have seen Michael Jackson fall from favour, but let’s gloss over that for the moment and celebrate his former glory with this cute Michael Jackson Roll Cuff T-shirt.

The white t-shirt features a sweet cartoon rendering of the superstar in what looks like his Thriller era (note the sparkly gloves). Admittedly, it could be argued that he was already past his best at this time too, but if you liked his 80s work, then this may be the t-shirt for you.

It costs £28 and is available to buy from Urban Outfitters.

Rumours? So what?

I am waiting for a MJ comeback and would still buy his music in a heart beat.

Cool shirt. MJ, well regardless of all the rumors, ect he will always be a music legend to me.

Yeah, longing for some real music to come back. Real singers like MJ! I would buy his stuff in a heartbeat also. We still love ya MJ!!

Who wrote this review?!!

Past his best work in the 80's.. Hello??? He had the biggest selling album of all time in the 80's and made one of the most popular music videos, still to this day?! He launched what was at the time the largest concert tour, which still holds the record for the longest run at Wembley Stadium?!

What out does that - so who has done better than that in he 80's - please do tell us?!

Stick to reviewing clothes and don't pass comment on something you clearly know nothing about!!!!

"The rumours, scandal and cosmetic surgery of recent years have seen Michael Jackson fall from favour, but let’s gloss over that for the moment and celebrate his former glory with this cute Michael Jackson Roll Cuff T-shirt."

This quote is utter ********.

His "former glory" my ass. Michael Jackson is still the King of popular music, dance, and entertainment. Don't believe me? Ask Ne-yo. Ask Justin Timberlake. Ask Usher. Ask Omarion. Ask Fall out boy. Ask Mario. Ask Beyonce. Ask Prince. Ask Stevie Wonder.

I could go on all day. His peers in the industry recognize him as the greatest entertainer whoever lived, a wonderful person and humanitarian. He is not what the media has painted him out to be. Nothing but sensationalist ********.

Michael is still the icon that he always was, and always will be. Take the party he attended a few days ago for the designer's 50th. He walked into a room and made grown men CRY. And he was only there for a maximum 10 minutes. Then at the end he started dancing to the music as he left, and people went nuts.

To this day. Don't try this "former glory" ****.

He's alright - but he's no Rick Astley, let's be honest.

retro to go:
why don't you close your mouth please ,and keep petty comments like you made above towards Michael Jackson to yourself ! Now I have recommended you this Important advice , retro to go ...Show the Internet world that view your site that you have an ounce of dignity and grace ...Michael Jackson has these qualities In full spades!

On behalf of the site (although I wasn't the author of the article), I don't see much wrong with the article.

With the exception of serious Michael Jackson fans, it's hard to find many people who would claim Michael Jackson is still at the commercial/critical level he was at his peak (let's say on something like Off The Wall for example).

Life is all about opinions - far worse has been said about this site in the above comments than the site said about Michael Jackson (and we have published them all). We respect your opinions, please respect ours - which were in no way offensive.

Already passed his best by the 80s? Catch yourself on!

That's not what the author of this initial article said. He/she said: "...his Thriller era (note the sparkly gloves). Admittedly, it could be argued that he was already past his best at this time too..."
Personally, I think this is a writer who is nervous about gauging public opinions about MJ. What happens in these cases is that the writer always starts off with something disparaging about Mj then says.. "but he was great blah, blah, blah..." Come off the fence and join the rest of us who think his work is just fantastic!

LMAO @ the person at the avid Rick Astley fan above. Come on, what planet are you on? 'Cause no-one with fine taste in music on planet "Earth" would even dare try claim that Astley has anything on MJ.

RIP MJ!

can someone please tell me where i can get this shirt?
i really really want it.

where can i buy this short. i looked on the urban outfitters website and it doesn't seem to have it.
