RIP Michael Jackson

Kish, yes, taste and preference are subjective, case closed. I could be waaaay off base, but these are my opinions, nothing more, nothing less: I do not consider some of the abstract pieces art, nor do I consider a majority of 'performance art' art. cher, madonna, the boy bands, and just about any other top 40 act, it's just over-produced, synthetic tripe. It doesn't mean anything to me that the masses are in agreement or in awe of of this crap. Very few possess the talent, class, poise and humility required, in my book, to deserve the title 'super star'. Just my $.02 :D

yup.. opinions.. everyone's got em..

The thing about Jordan Chandler apologizing for making up the stories about being molested is a hoax. Supposedly, Jordan Chandler's dad hit him with a dumbell in 2005, but I'm not sure what that has to do with MJ.

I remember watching MJ on American Bandstand when I was a kid and thinking he was incredible. I thought, man, I would have a hard time getting a band together. If I did get a band together, I couldn't even write a song, let alone a good one. MJ's not only got a band, but they're really good and he has a whole bunch of songs and really good dance moves. That's amazing. I suck.

Now, I'm old enough to know he didn't get the band together, write the songs, come up with the dance moves or pick out their clothes. He was still a great performer, but there's a difference between being an amazing artist and a performer who does what he's trained to do.

Oh, so discredit him because he didnt write his own songs or choreograph his own dance moves when he was a CHILD lol. As he did get older he wrote many of his own songs, sang the songs HIS way, and negotiated his own contracts.

Chandler's dad hit him in the head with a dumbell trying to KILL him. He wanted the money, just like he did when he sent his kid to hang out with MJ. The dad and son were money hungry pieces of shit. The dad also had pitched his horrible movie "Robin Hood Men In Tights" to MJ, while his son was at Jackson's place. He was looking for money one way or another. Oh yeah, lets not forget the fact that the mom sued JC Penny for $125k because the security guards "injured" them, as they were apprehended while being caught shop lifting. That family has no credibility.

Its funny that he only "touches" these kids with no money, looking for a pay day. The tons of other little kids he was always around have never thrown any accusations out there. Im sure he touched all the famished children he helped raise over $50m for too, right?

The guy had a tough life. From being a childhood star, all the way to his time of his death. His father used to tell him his nose was too big, too wide, etc. So what does he do? Fixes his nose, the thing that has been beaten into his brain as a fault. Everyone would talk shit, calling him a freak and what not. Everyone except little kids, which is why he was always around them. Lets not forget all the money MJ has raised and donated to the children around the world. Shit, the most of his mainstream songs released after his Album Bad had to do with the kids and peace.

I wasnt even the biggest MJ fan, though I did like him. The music just reminds me of my childhood. I'm just standing up for him because it wasnt fair the way he was treated, and had to live his life. Now people still come out and talk shit once hes passed away.

Ignorant people are going to stay ignorant, I can accept that. Ignore the facts and other details, because its much easier and more amusing to the simple minded cock suckers to just automatically assume he was guilty once being ACCUSED. Keep in mind he was never found guilty of any criminal offense, even though Sneddon had it out for him. And dont give me the OJ glove bullshit, either.
