Like him or not guy's you can't argue with the numbers or the sheer staggering amount of fan's worldwide! He evolved into a flat out wierdo there's no doubt. But an amazing and talented guy was tucked away somewhere in there.

And so was the "Pervert". I'm sorry and don't mean to rain on the guy, but he brought this on his self. I don't care how much talent a person has, their life style should bear a wittness for or against them and his case it was against him.

I caught slack serveral years ago when many was saying that "he was da man, da man" and I said that he needed a short rope and a high limb. (wasn't living right at that time) and two weeks later said that same thing about a white guy that was guilty of the same thing.

While I'm at I guess I might as well say that much of his work had a lot pervertness to it. Sorry but my two cents.
God Bless

I don't know whether Michael did anything to that young boy.

It was a thing for a few people to let rich and famous people have access to their children and then claim they molested their children...

Michael got caught up in that.

The mother has some real issues (of the "molested" child). This wasn't her first time to accuse someone of molesting her child.

All I do know is that all of his sucess, money and fame didn't buy him the one thing he really could have used...a relationship with Jesus. It doesn't appear to have brought him happiness either...people who are reclusive...ain't happy.

Same thing could be said for Farah Faucet...she too is wishing she had a relationship with Jesus at this moment too.

I have never been a fan of M.J. or F.F. but we know, it was not God's will that they should perish... The depths of God's Mercy is well beyond our understanding. I just hope that before M.J. or F.F. took there last breath they received Christ in their heart. One thing is for sure they are both in the hands of a Just God tonight...

Depends: do you mean musically or personally?

Musically, he was incredibly talented and innovative, adapting his voice and style to several decades. Personally, he was a messed up trainwreck.

you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

He is no doubt but MJ and Farrah's death are not Biblical signs or have I missed something.


OT wrote:And so was the "Pervert". I'm sorry and don't mean to rain on the guy, but he brought this on his self.


He probably was a pervert but never admitted to it and maybe because he wasn't, though I think he was. The truth is the truth though know matter what I think. God is his judge.

On the other hand you regard highly a man that was and may still be a pervert that actually admitted to it. I don't see where you are in line to comment on MJ considering this.


Obviously the guy had talent. For me though dawg (in my Randy Jackson voice) his weirdness scared me away from his music and such. Honestly, his face scared me.

I'm sure there will be a movie soon starring USHER and with that said is it possible for any of us to dress up like our idols and hit it big riding on their coat tails without being considered an impersonator?

Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was the first album I ever bought and, before thousands of magazine and newspaper articles, a review of his video for "Beat It" in my middle school paper was the first reporting assignment I ever tackled. I posted some MJ memories at http://dewaynehamby.blogspot.com/

We had a yard sale a couple of weeks back. I almost .... almost put my Thriller LP and my Prince 1999 LP in it. After all, I don't have a record player anymore. Now, I just looked on eBay, and those 1982 Thriller LP's (which this one is, cause my brother got it before he got married and was still at home and I sort of inherited it when he moved) and they're going for $100. I wouldn't have been able to give it away 2 weeks ago. Crazy.

They keep saying he died at the hospital. Reports are that he was not breathing when 911 was called, and that he was cold to the touch before they got there. He died at home, although he wasn't pronounced until arriving at the hospital.

Can someone stick a sock in Brian Oxman's mouth? He's all over TV and the internet saying he's the family attorney or family friend. He's not Jackson's attorney, and there is no such thing as "the family's attorney". This is a guy who Jackson fired during his molestation trial and who is no better than Howard K. Stern as far as being a lawyer and publicity parasite, except he's now sucking off the charge of a dead Michael Jackson where Stern leeched off a living Anna Nicole Smith. What a crackpot. Plenty of them in that circus.

Comparing posters from MJ or Farrah .... Well... let's just say that MJ isn't my personal choice for a wall "thriller".

MacUser, would you please consider deleting the death picture of Michael Jackson and the Farrah Fawcett shot?
