bboy87 said: BoOTyLiCioUs said: I just remember America before Michael died. I remember there was a thread on a facebook group about him having those concerts and most of the ppl were saying no thanks...he scares me....he's a pervert....i was a fan in the eighties but not now....better have the tour in Europe, Michael's career in America is HIStory. And now since he died, his shit is all over the place. Shirts, cds, posters, buttons, calenders, magazines in every shop. All over the place. EVERYWHERE. The tv guide channel had MJ specials on 24/7 for over TWO MONTHS. Now can't stop talking about it and what a great person he was . Now they talk about his whole career in America...not just the Thriller bandwagon. Funny how it took him to realize that he was just misunderstood, not a monster. FAKE....FAKE AS HELL. I was thinking about this today and the other day when I was doing research about his catalog This is the FIRST time in my life where I've been able to buy a Michael Jackson tshirt in a store I remember growing up and going to the bookstores, looking for books about Michael and others like Little Richard and Sammy Davis Jr, and NEVER finding anything. Well, I could find one or two about Little Richard, maybe one about Sammy, but Michael? forget about it, I would look and see shelves of Elvis, The Beatles, Hendrix, Rolling Stones and wondering why. Then hearing my friend Chris talk about how he and his cowriter Craig were shopping their books to publishers and being turned away because "Nobody wants pro Michael Jackson books" I went to Barnes and Noble a couple of weeks ago and seeing a full shelf for Michael. I didn't feel happy or sad, I was actually mad.... a lot of his stuff is selling really well. I went into a calender store. His calender was on the best seller's stand and there were only 2 calenders left. I went to Hot Topic and got a couple of his shirts. One of the sales assiociates said that his shirts were selling really well. he said they have already gone through 3 rounds of shirts. [Edited 10/1/09 19:19pm] | |

Something's not adding up.
He cannot shrink that much from 2005 to now. He cannot weigh that amount for that height. Karen Faye said he was "emaciated" yet now he was healthy? This "healthy!!!" report comes out the day after fans publically go after the TII team for being untruthful about how sick he really was? How convenient. | |

Let's not read too much into it. I think Michael pretty much looked the way he felt. Some days he looked great and some days he did not He obviously had some horrible eating habits because, like he said, that's one of the only things he felt he had control of.
Yes he was thin, but that's the way he looked most of his life. I do believe the report is true. Remember that this is the second autopsy, so I'm sure it matches whatever the first Jacksons' ordered autopsy said. Michael was a complicated person who was not totally good or totally bad, just a normal human being. Full of contradictions. I think he was happy with the concerts and his comeback. Maybe, just maybe, he felt it was the right time to do it. I mean he was clean (remember that he was taking propofol to treat his imsomnia, not to get high) and maybe he felt healthy enough to take on the challenge. Please don't portray him like a poppet who was a victim of circumstances. He grew up on stage, so I'm sure it was like his second home and he missed it. Sure,just like everyone else, I'm sure he got sick or it for a while, but he always went back because he loved it. I am simply better than you...end of story. | |

I think to really understand and appreciate the his overall career you need to have been a fan or at least remember him before Thriller, preferably before OTW. Most people who have become fans or only remember MJ after Thriller have a very distorted view of him; his either a complete freak who has never seem "normal" or his this wonderful, angel who has been victimized by the media. | |

Not to mention, sarcoidosis is a silent killer. It will manifest in your system in different ways. Some people, it will act as diabetes, some as asthma, some as a vitamin deficiency, skin legions, and so many other different things. Really??? I don't think I'd ever heard of it til Bernie died. Do you know why it is prevalent among brothers? [Edited 10/1/09 16:40pm] According to my doctors and the research I've done, it's a mysterious disease that people cannot figure out where it comes from. All races get the disease, but the majority are African American men. The crazy thing is, I used to work with a person that had it and she was a 60 year old white lady. I currently work with a guy who's wife has it and his wife is a 50 year old black lady. So, it's not something that is mostly limited to one race (like Sickle Cell). **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-
