Sad but true. I was a big fan of Michael's - I grew up on the Jackson 5. Back in the early 80's, Michael was the baddest entertainer on the planet. Prince couldn't touch him. But he turned me off with all that self-hating plastic surgery and freaky behavior. Any black person who would do that to himself is a f-n mental case.

I don't feel bad at all when I listen to the old stuff...mind you I only listen to everything up to Thriller when I sure he wasn't doing anything creepy. To me they are two different Michaels. I'll always have a love for MJ, but in the end he is a man with serious problems that he should have sought help for after the the JWs kicked him out. Mind you when he was a JW...they believe any form of psychotherapy is a sin and he was devout. Seeking any kind of help for abuse is a sin....I can't beleive Prince belongs to that religion. Anyway I digress. He brought his current problems on himself, I hope he finds his soul again.

Hotlegs AKA Mslegs There's no difference at all. I had to use my other account since I was at my limit.

I was content to not say anything until this popped up. You don't know how many blacks think he has a skin disorder and he did bleach his skin. Personally, I can't blame him for bleaching it since it was losing color anyway. That doesn't explain the plastic surgeries but who are we to judge him on that?

I do feel bad for Michael in general. We all have issues and for those comparing his childhood to others-- that's ignorant. We all react differently to certain situations. How the fuck does Judy Garland get a pass and MJ get condemned?

He's obviously got issues he needs to deal with and if he's guilty of touching boys he needs to pay. I can't feel any sympathy for him in his current legal troubles if he was stupid enough to hang around children again. Of course, whatever trouble he gets into the childrens' parents should get a worse punishment and they shouldn't see a cent of his money.

i really can't stand to listen to MJ anymore, and i was a huge fan. i don't feel sorry for him at all. he had the world in his palm, and he chose to throw it away.

Did you all know that MJ has the body of a 13 year old?...







































..Its names Jordan!!!

LOL

Why does MJ like 28 year olds?




Because there are 20 of them

Yes I do, and I still don't think he's guilty.

Well, it sounds like most of the black people on this board feel that way. I really think it is because of he supposely didn't act black. There is this guy at my college that is a dark skinned African American. He loves rock music, Prince , dates white girls, hangs out with white people mainly, and likes the color pink. I remember some people coming up to me and asking me if he was gay or not. I said no, not that I know of. I was talking to him about what these people were saying about him and he said I know, I'm kinda used it. I think a lot of the talking about him had to do with the fact that he didn't fit the black people stereotype. The same goes with Michael. He dated white gurls(did date some black gurls), changed his nose and hair(which really doesn't have to do with wantin to be white) etc. This doesn't mean that he wants to be white. That guy that I mentioned says that he loves being black and just because someone doesn't fit that stereotype, doesn't mean they want to be white.
