Thriller - Shaam e Aroosi

This is probably the best Iranian take on the Thriller.

I do (care for Farrah)

After all Farrah and I shared the same name (well almost). I was deeply moved by Ryan O'Neals' outpouring of emotions on Farrah's death. His relationship was somehow reminiscent of and closely similar to that of O'Neal's charchter (Oliver) in Love Storey, experienced. She was so popular in the Iran of the seventies because of her name, which was the same as Shabanu's.

May God bless both their souls, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.

Pop superstar Michael Jackson has confirmed his conversion to Islam, according to reports in the Middle East.

The Arab-Israeli newspaper Panorama claims Jackson has announced the move and revealed plans to move to Bahrain, where he has purchased property.

The singer’s Muslim brother Jermaine Friday claimed the “Thriller” hitmaker had taken interest in the religion since Jermaine converted in 1989, and had been considering converting following his acquittal on child abuse charges in 2005.

Jermaine said, “When I came back from Mecca I got him a lot of books and he asked me lots of things about my religion and I told him that it’s peaceful and beautiful.

“He read everything and he was proud of me that I found something that would give me inner strength and peace.

“I think it is most probable that Michael will convert to Islam.

“He could do so much, just like I am trying to do. Michael and I and the word of God, we could do so much.”

Call me paranoid....

...but I find it a little more than suspicious that Michael Jackson would choose right now to die!

Kar, Kar-e-Inglisast!

remove this trash

With everything else going on in Iran, I don't care for a filty pervert, please remove this trash and get real people.

In related news:

It has been confirmed that Ahmadinejad killed Michael Jackson.

boo. 

Farnoosh

We're not the center of the universe to expect the whole world to lock their attention on us.

Why should it be okay for Iran to headline every major media station for a few innocent deaths, while every day over 30 (mostly innocent) people are still dying in Iraq EVERY day?

What's going on in Iran is super important to everyone here, and nobody is going to forget about it because of a Michael Jackson headline. 

I cant believe people, a

I cant believe people, a great artist has died and everyone is like why is he on the news
GUESS WHAT PEOPLE
this is AMERICA and he was an AMERICAN artist who CHANGED THE FACE OF MUSIC FOR EVERYONE

OF course he needs to be on the news.

How heartless.
A tragedy is a tragedy whether it involves Iranians, Chinese, Black, WHite...

My God people WAKE UP

Poor guy! With all the wealth and fame how they screwed him!

Everyday, the ass attorneys, businessmen, friends, everybody sued him, stole his money, took him to court forcing him to go to exile in Bahrain!

He was brilliant child/adult who paved the way for many blacks including President Obama! RAAHAT SHOD! God bless his soul. May he finally rest in peace!

At the very least he helped

At the very least he helped rehabilitate hundreds of Philipinos.

Dear Mr. Javid

I do understand Michael Jackson's iconic position in the music world, so on any ordinary day I would never write this comment here.  But, Sir, news about Michael Jackson's death has already usurped the spotlight on the struggles of Iranian people inside Iran in the American media.  The helpless people of Iran risk their lives to send their information and video outside of Iran so that it is reflected in international media, for they have no other hope of being heard.

While all major networks are busy talking about Michael Jackson and forgetting about Iranian youth, why would Michael Jackson take the place of information and sentiments about Iranian protestors on Iranian.com?  I do believe you to be a man who loves and respects Iranians, but in my humble opinion it is poor taste to feature Michael Jackson here at this time.

که امشب یک بچه باز از روی زمین کمتر شد.

Why the nice comments?

Michael Jackson was a freakish human being and most likely a pedophile, so why are people leaving nice comments about him?

Personally, I'm disgusted that when I turn on the news to find out what's happening in Iran, instead I find wall-to-wall coverage of the death of a has-been.

I liked him........

He finished like Elvis, both had died years before their actual death arrive! Sad.

Thank you Michael

As a young boy growing up in Mashhad ,I remember one Norooz trip to Tehran when we bought Michael Jackson's thriller in  Cassette form.You had to go to this fancy bookstore in Tehran and order the tape.The guy would make you a copy that you could then pick up a few days later.A bootleg copy of course.

Watching his videos were the greatest thrill ,everybody wanted to be him and dance like him.Some girls in Tehran would wear only one glove to be cool just like him.He was the "Elvis" of my childhood.A great talent and of course a very excentric man.

Thank you for the music and memories Sir.

Thank you Michael and Thank you Irandokht for creating this forum

bad timing

Thank you for all the memories.

Michael Jackson was a true legend, a very gifted and special entertainer.

Glad to see an Iranian who has her priorities straight these days, reporting on Hollywood. Consistent.
