MJ haters because they make the effort to post in EVERY thread and talk shit

MJ fans because they can be without logic at times

Any grown man who feels the need to have pajama parties & sleepovers with little boys deserves at minimum psychiatric treatment, if not a full-fledged investigation into his lifestyle.

Any grown man, except for Michael Jackson of course, who brandished his fame and money to sweep that matter under the rug.

I have a cousin named Mya that looks like Lauren. She's so cute

Who is she? Is she legal?

I'm not against him at all. However, the fact that he hangs out with kids, whether he's guilty or innocent, it doesn't matter....but just the fact that he hangs out with them, runs around playing with toys, and making a real nit wit of himself....is a turnoff for me because I find it rediculous and the total opposite of cool. Then he wears those rediculous looking outfits and has completely fucked his face up.

However, as crazy and loony as that toon may be, if he were to put out some real jams, I would buy them even if he admitted to sleeping with the children. It still wouldn't stop the fact that the songs were jams. In 1995, when he released his album "History", I had much respect for him for putting some actual jams on the album while the rest of the world had sold out to midtempo and stripped down shit hop. Of course, people called the album "outdated" but, who the hell cares, because the stuff that wasn't outdated was a bunch of nothing bullshit. Lately however, he ain't been jamming though. He's been selling out to the shit hoppers. When someone does that, I lose all respect for them.

It's not about hating him, it's about witnessing (and knowing we all played a part of) a frightening descent into illness.

I thought You Rock My World was kind of good, Butterflies decent. But he's a sick man, children or no children.

Honestly why anyone would want to become famous after witnessing what it's done to the most famous guy in the world is beyond me.

The You Rock My World video is where he lost me. Apart from it being the same shit he looked absolutely awful!

never seen the video, but visually he's totally lost me, including his dancing. As you say, it's the same shit.

NDRU said:

I think in this country, we all have some kind of psychological illness, it's just that he's in the spotlight so it's more on display.

If you look at old clips of him, he seemed real normal. He knows he's not normal and in a good way, he embraces it, which is why I became a fan. When I was younger, all of the acts were wearing jeans and flannel and the only ones who seemed to think out of the box were Michael and Prince, so I was drawn to them, then add to the facts that I thought that they were geniuses

I like weirdness, but it's pretty obvious that that Thriller type of success wasn't good for him, musically or personally. I think maybe it was just too much pressure because he felt he needed to top it.

I don't think Prince was any more weird before or after Purple Rain.

NDRU said:

I agree. There's a book by a old neighbor of the Jacksons. Some of the stuff is inaccurate, but the whole point of the book was saying that Michael and the others didn't really much social skills, especially Michael. The older brothers got to grow up, get married, and live life, but he didn't. He's never really had much of an actual life, and the success of Thriller and Bad made alot worse.

I personally believe that during 1998-2001, he was recording Invincible but was in semi retirement. He was actually trying to stay out of the spotlight.

In 1999, he looked the most normal he had in years.
