Hey at least Forrest J. Ackerman was in thriller, that's the only good part of MJ's career ... (I'm guessing most of you are scratching your heads as to who the heck Forry J. is... He's a man that collected things from old horror movies, and he had the biggest collection in the world... I met him & got to wear Bela Lugosi's ring that Bela left to him in his will! Go me... my brother was so jealous )

I'm sorry but sometimes i gotta bust out singing Thriller or Billy Jean or Beat It or Smoote Criminal or the hits. I have the first pressing of thriller on vinyl. i love it. I don't really think about the guy honestly. Except when i hear some of the good old MJ. Lisa is right though. Just ignore him if you like.

I thought it couldn't get any worse for him, but I found this website with the kids witness statemnt from the first trial. He must have had to pay quite a bit to keep this under the table for so long.

PM me if you want the link as it is not for young viewers

I would personally think that he suffers from arrested development. He really does seem to be a child himself. I do not think he really intends to do any harm to any child, it just appears that way to us as he does not realize how his actions appear. He is so under developed that I doubt he even posesses a sex drive, so I do not think that that any children are in danger. I could be completely wrong, but that is just how I see it. I must also admit that even though I do not enjoy his music he definately posesses a large amount of talent.

The michael jackson compilation tapes were my first tapes ever While he's awesome, he seems a little off, but I'm not one to judge.

But I WILL judge the buttmunch journalist who really seems to be a big hairy hipocrite.....(sp? yah yah....)

MJ was mentally and physically abused as a child, so the story goes. He has begun transforming himself into a PeterPan wanna be and truly believes he can 'fly'. He sleeps with children in front of the fireplace and 'reads' to them. He plays yo-yo with his children over a balcony. I'm sorry, but he truly is prime candidate for the Psych Ward and maybe they will build him his own ward and call that one "Never Land". Personally, I think the guy is whacked, doesn't deserve to have his children nor the presence of anyone under the age of 21. He may be one of the best performers of our time, but so was Walt Disney's version of Peter Pan. This is JMHO and if you disagree then that is your opinion.

How sad to have it all and be so whacked. Hopefully he will leave those kids of his all the money cause they are going need to buy some serious shrink time.

I agree with Dragons & Balls. You guys can't really judge the guy. He was abused when he was a child and pushed in a negative way. All the Jackson kids were celebrities if you don't remember and the parents were probably a little hard on all of them. You can't really blame him. Blame his surroundings. Also someone spoke of his plastic surgery. Like most and Millions of people around the world he is insecure about his looks. I am not agreeing with plastic surgery all I am saying is that insecure people do dumb things to themselves. Do you laugh at annorexic people when you seem them on tv? They are insecure. Do you laugh at people who have bulemia or however you spell it? No you don't. They like michael Jackson go to desperate measures just to change themselves. He is a little messed up in the head but I guarantee that if any of us went through what he did during his life we'd be just as messed and if not more messed up than him. Don't judge. it's not for humans to do. I think it's mean. The man is an extremely talented dancer and singer. Though he is a nut job he wants world peace. I respect him for his talents and his hope for peace. Would we like it if we were messed up and people were talking about us? Would you laugh and talk about a child or adult who is mentally ********? That's all I have to say. I hope I changed some peoples opinions if not. Ohh well.>(

I feel 100% bad for the guy. He has been ripped apart and studied by the media and spotlight since he was five years old.

I like how the media says "Oh look how he has his kids wearing masks!!!! WEIRDO!" But can anyone tell me how you explain to TWO kids under the age of ten they are about to be mobbed and they will hear yelling, crying screaming and shouting when they go outside? I bet he has to make them wear those masks to feel safe. Like in Big Daddy and the invisible sunglasses. I can't imagine having to explain those things to my children.

And what if the stupid idiot media kept screaming "we cant see the baby form where we are!" and he hung her over so they could get a shot?

Stories are constantly twisted around 150% by the media all the time to make the worst possible scenario come out even if its not the truth.
