I really liked Michael Jackson when I was 11 years old. "Dangerous" was one of the first CDs I ever listened to. A few years later Michael was in the news for allegations of touching a boy inappropriately or something like that. I was torn. I've never known what to believe since that time. The impression I got was that the reporting on him was senseless and that they didn't give him a fair shake. I don't know that he ever got an opportunity to clear his name, but at some point I stopped paying attention. In Hollywood, I don't think you can recover from something like that.
My first album ever was was Dangerous too. I don't think he was a true pedophile. What he was was a man who lived in a different world and he did not understand why a grown man can not have little boys in his bedroom. Like even stuff that is kind of sexual I don't think he saw as that. In some ways he never grew up and the stuff he did would not be an issue if was also 10 when he did it. Think about it. From the time he was a kid himself he was a god. He's not the average person and he never lived that life. He wanted to be kind and give back to kids that is all.
I watched a film clip the other day actually, dunno what the song was, sounded like don't stop till you get enough as the lyrics, anyway he was young and black and I was like huh, mofo was actually black. I don't think I ever seen that before, it's like mythology for me.
We'll probably never know what was up with him. But his music wasn't that great anyway. He still has a shitload of die-hard fans who are like, totally obsessed with him. Like, their lives revolve around him, like he's Jesus Christ or something. I don't think the accusations changed much, really. Maybe they would have, given the chance, but they didn't have that chance, really. He was hardly a champion of children, though. Spending all that money on himself and his little theme park mansion estate. Let's not act like he was a saint, 'cause he was far from it. Just another self-obsessed celebrity IMO.
From wikipedia: "Jordan Chandler legally emancipated himself from his parents.[113] In 2006, Jordan accused Evan of attacking him with a barbell, choking him and spraying his face with mace. The charges were dropped.[114] On November 5, 2009, fourteen weeks after Jackson's death, Evan Chandler was found dead following an apparent suicide" Jordan Chandler as an adult has said his father made him say those things. As in says, three months after Jacksons death, the father committed suicide I remember when Neverland was sold, and they found some normal adult girlie porn, and it was reported as such by credible news sites .then I saw many less reputable news sites try and imply that was anything other An article o what was actually found in an earlier raid, early 2000s, if anyone is interested The Truth About What Michael Jackson Had (And Didn't Have) In His Bedroom | HuffPost I was a big MJ fan, so I sound biased, but actually finding any credible evidence anywhere is.....pffft
I agree. And the fact that Macauley Culkin has always maintained that Jackson was just a good friend to him when his parents were being shitty is another thing that makes me think he's innocent
You can say all the things you want but he was talented. I am not for sure he was a child molester. I know people who are not child molesters that have had their lives ruined by lies that they were. His Dad was very abusive and would beat him up as a kid. The story of Micheal Jackson is overall sad.
How exactly was he talented? His voice wasn't even that good, he could moon walk and throw his arms about, I don't see the talent really and I don't hear it either.
I have mixed feelings about Jacko. He had some good songs here and there, and for a pop star he was pretty good. His behavior toward children was rather questionable.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ For those delusional enough out there to think he didn't have talent, just look.............
He was abused by his Father as a child. He never had a true childhood. He was made fun of by everyone. He died in so much pain and left three kids behind. People forget the celebrities are human beings and not robots. I liked his music. Its not my favorite but its ok.
it would have been impossible to hide from the close circle who are all guilty if all this is true...enablers would all be complicit.....
Another person Wade Robison came out about Micheal Jackson but it is very too late to do anything as you cannot put a dead person in prison even if this is true. Things are getting crazy in Hollywood and social media.
