no matter what anyone says michael jacksons music will always be remembered child molester or not petifile or freak whatever his music was and is still a revolution
thing is, michael was never proven to be, or convicted of being a peadofile.
it will always be circumstantial evidence that will always hold michael to the contrary.
i just think he made some silly decisions that plagued his personal life. and most of the stories put out about michael are usualy blown out of proportion or made up by the news reporters anayway.
seriously, what news are you more than likely going to remember about him, a day trip to some zoo with his kids, or michael sexualy abusing somebody else`s kids. probably the latter.
either way, good or bad, whether you like him or not. michael jackson won`t be forgotten any time soon.
Whatever he did or did not do, he paid for it harshly with his troublesome life. Whatever happened was an issue that has been supposedly resolved and taken care of, so it really shouldn't be of any concern to us. In fact, if what happened was true, as a prosecutor, I would have held criminally accountable not just MJ but the kids parents as well. What kind of parents lets his children sleep with a 40 year old while they are sleeping two floors down? Any way you looked at this was fishy and more like Jackson was being taking advantage of.
I feel really sad for him to have died at such a miserable time in his life, just when he was about to re-vindicate his career and life. Say what you will about Michael Jackson, he was a humanitarian and did immeasurably for the world.
This loss is a terrible loss for the world, MJ wasn't just a pop culture icon, he was a great musician, dancer and entertainer, he was an artist. If you haven't had the opportunity to listen to his music, search for his videos and have a trip. This guy was a genius.
Lisa Marie Presley, his ex-wife and daughter of Elvis Presley wrote this following letter entitled "He Knew" in her MySpace blog. It's an interesting read:
"Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general.
I can't recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death.
At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, "I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did."
I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.
14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears.
A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened.
The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy.
All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted.
I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.
Our relationship was not "a sham" as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a "Normal life" found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.
I wanted to "save him" I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened.
His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn't know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then.
At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself.
He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.
When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.
Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson's being or actions.
I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him.
I was in over my head while trying.
I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision.
The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.
After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret.
Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation.
At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now.
As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.
Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him.
He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together.
I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now.
He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be.
I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is.
The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right.
I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.
Having grown up in the 80's and being surrounded by his music as a kid, hearing this makes me quite sad. I don't care what anyone says, MJ was a modern-day Mozart. Despite his success, he's had a pretty hard life... some might say it's just the price of genius; but I don't think he deserved the bulk of his tribulations.
R.I.P. Michael.. you may have left us; but your music will never die.
I'm too shocked about his death to say anything. I'll see what I can get out though.
I used to think of Michael Jackson as a creeper a few years ago, but then I started listening to his music, and I thought it was amazing. I started to forget the other Michael and made room for this one. I also read a little about the court case just to clear up the old thoughts.
Apparently his death may have been related to his painkiller addiction as well, and he started taking the painkillers after the Pepsi commercial incident, but took them even more from the stress of the child molesting cases and such. The relation to the painkillers alone made me feel bad about the old pedo jokes and makes me even angrier about people still joking about that stuff.
I told all my friends, and the majority said, and I mean they said nearly the same thing, "FINALLY!!! I CAN WALK THE STREETS AND SLEEP AT NIGHT SAFE NOW!!!"
... a-holes.
I just wish more people would remember him more for his music, rather than the child case...
Remeber that Thriller prison video? They made a new in honor of him.
A tribute performed by 1,500 CPDRC Inmates on June 27, 2009 in memory of Michael Jackson. Completed in 10 hours after receiving word that the King of Pop passed away. May he always be remembered. "Ben" and "I'll be there" were sung by Michael when he was still younger! "We are the World" was composed and organized by MJ.
what a waste, micky j could have done so much good in the world with his fortune, but no. he died with nothing to show for his efforts, other than his music, 3 kids and a tarnished reputation.
the tabloids just can`t let michael rest in peace.
there`s a report in the sun news paper (a uk rag), about a book that`s been rushed out claiming michael was h0m0sexual, and the writer also claimed that michael had atleast 2 gay lovers.
seriously, why do they need to drag michaels personal life into the gutter much further?
these reporters are just plain ars3holes.
whether you like somebody or not, it`s just wrong to start putting stuff out there when somebody isn`t alive to defend there actions, whether it`s true ir not.
where`s chris crocker when you need an emotional plea, (that would be funny to see).
looks like news updates are giving the possiblility of his death being a manslaughter, if he was really slaughtered, i will be so full with rage, along with billions.
today "the news of the world" (a british newspaper) has printed pictures of the bed that micheal jackson dies in.
seriously, who really takes interest in that kind of news. it`s boardering on the obsessive.
who really wants to see that. nobody i know.
i can understand if the photo`s are part of evedince against michael jackson`s doctor, but that`s as far as they need to go.
all i can think is that these journalists are sick in the head to want something like that printed. let aljne report about it.
i`m just sick of seeing news about him, it`s pi$$ing me off.
