He did rip off Tina Turner, James Brown, Mick Jagger, etc and have just a couple of great songs. Fame > talent, but isn't that always the way.


That's bullshit man, you're over simplifying his career.

Does anyone here actually give a rat's ass about this creepy little mutant? Seriously?
His music was the worst schoolgirl pop ever to disgrace the airwaves, his pasttimes included giving Jesus Juice to young boys, fondling their nut sacks and paying off the parents to keep it all hush-hush, he talked and sang like a little girl, his pants were way too fucking small, his face looked like a Madame Toussad exhibit that was left in the sun too long, and he wore a rhinestone glove on ONE hand...
maybe he could dance, but who really gives a fuck?

:lol: -> "NOT ONLY did he molest children, BUT AS WELL! AS WELL! He wore a rhinestone glove..."

Yeah, like I said, if this was ten years ago... funny how hypocritical the media are, too. It used to be, oh, what's Wacko Jacko done today, the crazy fool, now it's OMG THE KING OV POP IS DEAD! I still can't believe they didn't take his kids away after the infamous Baby-Dangling incident, but oh well. Odds that his cellar at Neverland is full of bodies, anyone?

Not really, though. For someone who was most likely a pedo he got a lot of sympathy when he was alive. Compare the way people spoke about MJ to the way they speak about Gary Glitter...

Yeah, but didn't they more or less catch Glitter red-handed? The whole Jacko thing came from people taking him to court, iirc. Plus, Jacko sold more albums and probably had a few more fans than Gary Glitter.

To be honest, I couldn't care less... anyone that calls not one, but TWO of his kids Prince Michael has a lot to answer for.

Indeed. I'm sure we can all agree that the world's "very, very odd" rating has taken a major hit.

Well, MJ was the reason I started listening to western music. I still dig some of his songs. So, yeah. It is sad. RIP MJ.

I'd like to remind people that MJ was acquitted by a jury of peers. I think all the accusations are a bit uncalled for. Any proof?

Off the top of my head, didn't he settle at least some of them out of court? I don't think it came to a jury in those cases...?

Yeah, the Chandler (I think her name was) case.

Little children were able to identify this man's genital area. He settled out of court for a reason. He was a tragic and heinous man. I don't care what he did as a performer or musically. Which by the way, the guy had the best of the best in regards to writers, arrangers, and production. So let's not heap too much praise on him. For me, what he did personally outweighs anything he did publicly. I always found him to be absolutely tragic. He must have been dealing with horrific issues to so drastically change his outward appearance.

I don't find his death to be any drastic loss to music or the human race. Good riddance to another freak. Our planets going to hell and everyone is mourning this nutjob. I realize that it's topical but really..who cares?

Little children should be able to indicate anyone's crotch. Source?

Fridge, people generally settle out of court for a reason, like Monsieur Raven said. I realise it's a hell of a stigma, and the case is as slimy as hell:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_child ... el_Jackson

He definitely held sleepovers with other peoples' children.

It was a part of the case from the early 90's. Look it up. The children involved were not asked general questions about male genitalia. Obviously, in a legal proceeding, these children were asked to describe particular aspects of Jackson's anatomy and they did. The guy preyed on kids man. The constant allegations are not fiction. Please.

Great, that's all I wanted. I dislike unfounded allegations, but as you've got sources and shit, it's all good.
