RIP MJ. You were the man. I certainly do not believe he was a pedophile....he was a bit strange though of that there is no doubt but then again I think genius and madness is a fine line and all that.
I'm not saying MJ's a favorite artist of mine (he probably ranks around 157th place or something on my overall list of musicians lol) but anyone claiming his success is merely due to marketing has just shown himself to not quite be in touch with reality.
MJ was one of the first multitalented 'big performers', who could sing, dance and make music. It's not that he was best at all of them of everybody in the world that made him so popular. He just happened to be very talented in all of those categories, and he was in the right place at the right time (or perhaps more like he was ushered in by his dad
). The rest is kind of history, really.

Before this only breakdancers/poppers recognized the move. He just had a cool very high energy explosive style that is very rare and this was in additon to his singing. Even before this had great moves as a kid. The music videos we see today with groups of dancers dancing in tandem was the result of MJ making it mainstream.
"Tell me my man: What is the problem with Michael Jackson?"
Michael Jackson was able to transcend cultural borders like no one else in recent history. Also, his music was epic, you're in denial if you think otherwise. Music videos directed by Martin Scorsese, guitar licks done by EVH, this all fits in with the gnarliest production value.

I was born in China and lived through the 80's there. That was a time when China just started to grow, and we knew about Micheal Jackson. My dad had a Micheal Jackson cassette, and he still has it with him for over 20 years.
I watched the documentaries "Living with Michael Jackson" from Martin Bashir and "Living with Michael Jackson, Take Two" from Maury Povich (don't laugh) for the first time last night. And, I must say that these two shows displayed a very intimate, if not sad, face of the after-the-glory Jackson.
You could really tell he was suffering from mental issues that made him behave like a a child. I know that the Peter Pan syndrome is not officially recognized as a disease by medical academics, but its description did fit MJ's lifestyle like a glove (pun intended).
Of course, this displayed naivety and fragility might have been a terrible plot, hiding more sinisters thoughts... But I don't buy it. He seemed genuinely clueless about life. It's just that he could afford to live the way he wanted, which probably wasn't a good idea in his mental state.
Anyway, I recommend watching those docs, if you can (they're available on Youtube, for thoses who can't access them via broadcast means)

I've said for years Jackson was never going to sound as good as with Thriller because of that very reason. And like so many others who did business with the Jackson camp, EVH got screwed.

This is just disgusting. Joe Jackson stands there blank-faced as his PR rep reads out his "heartfelt" statement right in front of him. He feels absolutely no grief for his son's death but he gets excited about the new Bluray album.

From Liza Minnelli:
I predict we're gonna find out he was a eunuch, it would explain SO very much...
No, probably the drugs that were in his body. Though the possibility of MJ being HIV+ did cross my mind.

Uhm, that pathology/autopsy report is BS. The coroner came out yesterday to say that.
The autopsy report released by The Sun is fake
