Oh yeah if Powerpuff Girls had a monkey, BUBBLES got to be in that bitch! And yes he will be like "haaaaai..."

Timmy84 said:

He'll give Mojo Jojo a run for his money lmao

WaterInYourBath said:

Then i am wondering why was that interview aired? They had to know at some point that propofol is not addictive. How can you run a story without checking the facts? Either someone knows the real cause of death or he's still breathing.

Timmy84 said:

that would be an ignorant show. Each show stars a different MJ. HAHAHAHAHA

you know me, man. I try to stay levelheaded
I can admit he had problems, the brotha had a rough life and went through alot

I just want people to understand him and all that went through in the proper context, ya know? I don't want people out there to take it and overexaggerate or use it to degrade him. It's the same way I feel about James Brown or Sammy, and others I admire

I agree with bboy.

that oprah interview was bullshit, she needs to hurry up and quit. It's a sick business where someone is asking about something as morbid as death and then "let's talk about the movie" all cheerful, bizarre man. Anyway, like Paul Mooney always says, "fuck that fat skinny bitch".

Michael was the biggest star in the world... that goes without saying. But people like Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie... a lot of the Motown stars were very well known in the '70s and '80s. I think Bob Marley qualifies as "Western" and he was and is still hugely popular. There was a lot of African reggae music (The Mandators, Majek Fashek and others) created in the '80s because of Bob Marley. And this might be surprising but Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers were very huge in the '70s and '80s. Then in the '80s, of course, you had Madonna. Other artists I can think of... Boney M. Donna Summer comes to mind as well. Abba as well.

Anyway, I was just saying the Michael being the only Western artist known in Africa... well, the Africa I know, is not true.

Best quote ever!

Second runner-up quote from Paul Mooney "Oprah is Mammy with a Degree."

I do think Michael Jackson was one of the few American musicians to be known in Africa.

Muhammad Ali is a boxer so yeah lol

This the the type of MJ fandom that scares me...

Timmy84 said:

Then you don't know much about Africa then. Way before Thriller MJ and the J5 were famous in West Africa at least, but so were artists like Kool & the Gang, Shalamar, Earth Wind and Fire, Madonna, Prince and the list goes on. Even artists like James Brown, the Beatles, The Stones and Elvis were known in Africa way back in the 60s, although amongst the younger generations they may not be so popular. The whole of Africa is not some isolated village.

Madonna? Abba? Dolly parton? kenny rogers?

The fact that you listed those artists proved that you didn't understand the point of my post, Re-read my post.

Bob marley yeah , but not on large scale like MJ.

The problem about Janet's statements can be reduced to one thing: ignorance. It's not that she had an agenda (who can deny Joe, for example, has his eyes on $?), it's that she knew nothing. The way she spoke about propofol is simply ridiculous. She basicaly said Michael was a junkie because he was taking propofol. While I'm not a doctor yet (I still have two big years in front of me), if you try telling this to a doc he/she will laugh in your face. She said he was an addict because he was a propofol user and that was the extent of his addiction. Seriously, this is laughable. Propofol isn't an addictive substance, mainly when combined with related anesthetics (=exactly what was found in MJ's system). Michael wanted to sleep. Period. The thing is: he was rich enough to hire a doctor.

After this, Janet added that Michael told her that he was not addicted.

And this interview takes place some months after Michael's autopsy report is made public. So Janet comes across as a person who believes Michael was an addict because he took medication repeatedly and eventually died because of that. By assuming it, she concludes that he was lying when asked about whether he was or not a druggie. So, Janet's statements are false.

And Michael being a good or a bad entertainer has nothing to do with anything.

thank you

The guy had:

lupus
vitiligo
inflammed lungs
an enlarged prostate
stiffness in joints
severe insomnia
and still may have been suffering from complications from getting burned


and not to mention possibly dealing with anxiety and depression from everything he was dealing with..... it's not surprising he was using some kind of medication

MOL said:

I think what you're saying is true as far as Janet concluding his death to a drug addiction, when it was just medical negligence. However, I think he turned to propofol the same way he turned to pain killers - using meds to quickly solve a problem. That's why Janet is connecting the two. And yes, it is misleading because majority of the public will just conclude it as Michael dying as a drug addict because of his connection with drugs in the past.

I get Paul Mooney, because he's a comedian and he goes after everyone from Oprah to Whitney Houston....

But the obsessive hatred for this woman by some of the more hardcore MJ fans has gotten out of hand....

I agree with the first sentence though I disagree with the second. Insomnia wasn't a "quick problem". He had it, apparently, since the mid 90's. And yes, the majority of the public will conclude MJ died a junkie.


Good point.
