Well, I'm pretty sure I'd still own Labyrinth if the Goblin King was Michael Jackson. It would be a whole different flavor of camp, though, that's for sure. Jareth might be able to actually dance instead of just sort of bobbing back and forth!

On the other hand, there'd be no DANCE MAGIC DANCE and I don't know what my life would be like without that soundtrack.

[othellia.livejournal.com]

INORITE?

You remind me of the babe...

[(Anonymous)]

You're right, a singer/dancer who was popular in the 80s would totally ruin that film. Wait.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it's not like Bowie is a 70s ico- oh wait.

Sit down and shut up.

[(Anonymous)]

They might be talking about all of the child molestation accusations/trials MJ went thru when they say it would ruin their childhood, you know. Considering the film is about the Goblin King stealing a child and toying with an underage girl.

[leilia.livejournal.com]

It would be different that's for sure. Michael Jackson doesn't have and never did have, in my opinion, the same level of menacing seduction that Bowie had and still has. However, as someone else has pointed out, Jackson's a lot better of a dancer. But, and I think this may be sacrilegious, I feel that David Bowie is the better singer.

It's probably still be fun. It'd probably have an awesome soundtrack. Just different. And it probably wouldn't have the same sexual vibe that the story has now.

But imagine the fanfic....

edit for clarity

[van.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Michael has this aura of "lol pedophile" these days, or if not that this weird "child like" mentality surrounding him, that makes him seem almost unsexual. When I think about him too, I feel that.

But back in the 1980s he was very sexual and a lot of his moves and songs were all about sex and seduction. I'm not sure he'd have quite David Bowie's grand sexual seduction because I feel like Michael's seduction was always a little . . . friendlier, perhaps? But I just got to rewatch Captain EO at Disneyland, and I could totally see him pulling the role of Jareth off. My guess is that they'd've recast Jennifer though (to get someone shorter to play opposite Michael), and that would've changed the dynamics more.

I'm happy in any event. We get Labyrinth and The Wiz. :D Okay, okay, so The Wiz isn't nearly as popular as Labyrinth, but I still like it. But now I'm picturing Labyrinth like The Wiz and... I'll shut up now.

Plus, Bowie's eyes and general look screams 'King of Fay-ish origins'.

Michael was cool in the 80's, but he doesn't has the look I would associate with ancient celtic/norse/english tales of fay (what? It's a mash up origins wise).

[darkmanifest.livejournal.com]

I sorta agree. I think MJ's sexuality was most potent when there was no one sharing the spotlight with him, such as in "Dirty Diana" (what I consider his hottest video, where he and the woman are never in the same shot), making it real hard to menace anyone. He would have been amazing in that scene where Bowie was, um, "dancing" with the goblins, but too coy and standoffish when there any anyone else but a muppet sharing the shot. I shudder to think what he would have turned the simmering tension of the ballroom scene into.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think I'd even want to imagine that there'd be fanfic. Creepy...

[broadwaybabe11.livejournal.com]

I agree with you. Bowie is very seductive, and I like his singing voice.
Jackson could have done it, but it wouldn't be the Labyrinth I know and love.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't help but feel that either way it wouldn't be the same with Michael Jackson. Michael is extremely talented but I don't think he'd have the right charisma for the role you know?

also there's an existing labyrinth fandom? can someone please direct me?

[cure-light.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine anyone else in the role but David Bowie. Like literally, I'm trying to imagine Micheal Jackson as Jareth, but I just can't do it.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, come on. You wouldn't have wanted to see Jacko bulge? I know the Gold Pants Brigade* would have LOVED that.


*This video speaks for itself:

[(Anonymous)]

I don't even like that movie (yes, I'm the one, it's me!) and the idea of Michael Jackson being in it scares me. I don't blame you.

[tenshihitomi.livejournal.com]

If Michael Jackson had been Jareth, this movie wouldn't have been nearly as sexual for me; though I do enjoy some of MJ's music, I've never found him physically attractive. Bowie, on the other hand, has been the inspiration for a lady boner I've had since I was in grade school.

[(Anonymous)]

Considering all the court battles and accusations of child abuse (whether you believe he did it or not) would have made that film truly award to watch.

That and I don't really need to see Michael Jackson's version of Teh Crotch *shudder*

[(Anonymous)]

It wouldn't have been as popular, because it wouldn't have The Bulge^TM.

[la-libertine.livejournal.com]

You and me both, anon, you and me both.

[the-kumquat.livejournal.com]

Okay, when I read this I read it as "Michael Jordan." I'm not gonna lie, OP, I boggled.

I'm not sure if I'm gonna be okay, the mental image of Michael Jordan in that outfit is a little horrifying.

[(Anonymous)]

I could kind of see it, but then I've been into El Shaddai recently so I'm kind of getting mental image bleedover between their based-on-MJ character and Jackson himself.

[mutantjules.livejournal.com]

WOW. I.....no lie, I can't see it at all. Maybe it's cause Bowie IS the guy to me.

[darkmanifest.livejournal.com]

Circa 1986 "Bad" era Michael Jackson as the Goblin King...in outrageous black leather, high heels, and glitter...

Shit, that would have been incredible. Sigh.

[(Anonymous)]

I did not know this. I reacted the same way as OP.
