I totally agree with Barney Hoskyns comment on the Bad album. His music was over produced,cookie cutter crap that seemed like it was stuck in a time period that never advanced or really changed much since Thriller. Not saying that Michael wasn't a talent. The guy had moves that blew everyone away. But musically,I will always go with Prince being the true musical genius. Not that Prince hasn't had his share of crap. But he out-does A N Y album that Michael ever did. Yes...even the over-rated,Thriller.
when someone die you thing about the bad things only god could
judge michale was good person he was humble shy loving and
giving an try and he love his fans these all things that make forget

whole world wacthing ever move they make when someone die like
this all we could do is feel sad pray that there soul rest in peace.
This writer for OMG is a bloated pig.. YOU don't mess with MJ fans a******. If you can't write something nice about the dead, don't write anything. I never believe what I read in print without doing my own homework. This jerk is obviously a hater so STFU. You can't hurt him anymore. No wonder you didn't put your name on the story. No class.
YOU KIDDIES dont remember ray charles, a awesome pure talent. Sad tht music is through and has been for long time so your stuck with this goon and think he is the greatest talent ever, who in fact, ripped off gene kelly and sammy davis jr and did a bad job at that.
Michael Jackson was, without doubt, one of the (if not THE) greatest creative brains in the music industry!!
This humble man started from nothing as a child and made himself into a dynasty.
He was not perfect, as all you haters obviously are, but the man set out to out-do Elvis and did just that...by a long shot!!
Unfortunatey he and we, did not recognize his "GENIUS" or truly appreciate his contributions to humanity until his very untimely death.
Mr. Michael Jackson will forever hold a special place in the world of music with the likes of Mozart no matter what you few haters say about the GENTLEMAN.
No matter his shortfalls in life, the records will show, NO ONE, can ever dispute the creative genius of Michael Jackson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I consider myself very privileged to have grown up during the time Michael first became known until his death.
The king is dead......LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!!!!!
Michael Jacksons "alledged" dark past....is just that....alledged!!!
Nothing was ever proven.
I can understand why this poor haunted GENTLEMAN went into self exsile from you very cruel, heartless idiots.
R.I.P. Michael.......Better yet.....please visit these haters often!!!
Reality check for Michael Jackson worshippers:
We've still got all of Jackson's music, and the dude hadn't produced anything worthwhile in years, so what have we lost?
We lost a broken down, bankrupt, drug-riddled, over-the-hill has-been who, at least in one phase of his life, liked to molest little boys. That's about it. The dude offed himself with drugs and now he's gone.
How about you buy a CD if you liked the music, save the false adulation about what a saint this train wreck of a human being was, bury him, and move on?
How can you all feel sorry for this,
Pill Poppin Pedophile Plastic Person,
Open your eyes,and minds.
MJ hosted thousands of kids over the years and only TWO scumbags make vile accusations that could not and did not stand up to judicial scrutiny. I don't know what went down, but more importantly, those of you continuing to perpetuate these rumors and innuendo don't know either. Karma's a bitch boys...let's hope none of your daughter's friends or any of your co-workers decide to make up crap about you. Then again...that would be poetic justice.
I have to admit, I never liked the guy, but I didn't want him to die. He is from my era, kind of a weird loss. God is merciful.
Well I will say I really never liked him either. I love his music but I just was not too sure about all the rumors that circled him. I really did not want him too die I was hoping for one more big song. As for his dark side, so many people no about it it wont be hid enough people will be there to keep it in the open. I dont like the idea though.
How about we dig a hole, dump his drug-riddled body into it, fill it up with dirt, put a stone over it, and move on?
How can you like or dislike someone you never really knew personally?
You only knew of his musical talent, and visual effect in the videos he created as entertainment for his public. That's all anyone of us can really comment on.
It would be interesting to speak to the children around the world whose lives Michael saved and touch in a positive way that you or I will never be able to say we did. Children speak the truth and don't view things around them for monetary gain unless they have a sick, perverted, and greedy adult behind them coaching them.
yeah well, he created pop and music and dance. without him there wud be no pop imagine that.. and dont be mean to him! he went through harsh times. Now u guys are paying much more attention to him...eh?
Please...for the love of YOUR idol,not mine...please spell his name right.It's M-I-C-H-A-E-L!!!!
How can you claim your love and adoration for him if you can't take the time and energy to spell it correctly?
I have seen at least 25-30 people on hear beating their chest for this guy,and then you turn around and disrespect his name.
It's not that hard to spell.
As i said...he's YOUR idol...not mine.Jamie Foxx sure let us know who he belonged to.That's ok with me...i don't claim him at all.
He just didn't adored the Polish Saint Sis. Faustina! Ass they say, Jesus Saves! Maybe the "Who can be God?" Angel namesake was not in the Jackson's BLOOD!
Hey MoonDance why don't yu give yourself a break from Proofreading and go out and enjoy the fireworks........Happy 4th Of July little girl
Let me know what other words I got wrong....see if your paying attention!
When will it be acceptable to say the Michael Jackson jokes again? I cant wait for that. since most of us only really cared about him after he was dead.
really, who really gives a crap about mj! he was a talent 20 years ago but when he started this going white thing and hanging with little boys that kinda started his downward spiral. this whole media firestorm about him being some kinda pop god really needs to stop. it is just a big smokescreen, and it is pathetic! the same media that got the democrats into office isnt doing a damn thing to keep the people informed on the things that will directly impact their futures, instead they spend days going on and on about a has -been when one of the largest taxes ever in america is being pushed through the house. and it worked! the fine media in this country really does a good job reporting what it wants to, but its even more amazing how many sheep we have in this country looking to be led!!!! rest in peace mj, you will be better off than our children in 10 to 15 years!!!!!!!!!!!
Being bloated and a drug addict is one thing; being a bizarre, weird, and twisted PEDOPHILE is quite another thing. The nut case, blind, left wing liberal news media is deeply deceived if they really think all of us are "venerating" and "overlooking" this sexual perverted pedophile...we are not. Elvis's legacy will stand despite his maladies. Pedophilia is not a mere malady but a serious, aberrant, abnormal evil that assails, offends, and repulses humanities innate sense of righteousness and justice. There is no comparison to Elvis's leagacy and the dark legacy of a Pedophile.
He gave little kids alcohol and called it "Jesus juice" so he could abuse his poor, little victims.
Realgirl and gadfly05. Open your minds a little bit. In 1993 THE INSURANCE COMPANY paid the accuser's family. For the very reluctant Michael (he didn't want to pay) and the company it was preferably to let Michael keep going with his world tour than wasting precious time and losing even more millions going to court.
In 1993 and in 2004 the Santa Barbara PD registered Michael house in search for evidence. They found no child pornography nor any other evidence that Michael was a child molester. The jury (chosen by both the prosecutor and the defendant attorneys) found no evidence that Michael was guilty and they found a lot of evidence that the accuser's mom was a con. I guess you didn't know that. You were just too busy judging MJ guilty even though the jury found him not innocent.
What sins a person has is between him or her and their maker-and the people involved.I know what is like to be abused-so I could not say this if God did not give me a heart.I forgive him and I hope he has found a place with Jesus.I am afraid for all you young people spurting out this anger and hate.I fear for all of us if this is who holds the future.No heart-No soul-No forgiveness-No thought for your fellow man-One said we have his music so what have lost--I would tell you--you did have anything to loose because you have nothing to give-and nothing to care about but your evil self centered self--I suggest you ask God to forgive you before you drop dead and no body give a darn.
Sorry for copying and pasting my post but gladfly05 is being a little repetitive so I couldn't help it. He's so narrow minded and keeps repeating about the money of the 1993 settlement but he's just repeating what the negative press have repeated for years and those are not the complete facts. BTW Jordan Chandler the first accuser said that he was forced to lie by his parents. I don't know how come that Yahoo didn't write more about it since it was here where I read and buzzed up that information
Michael Was An Amazing Singer And Songwriter
He Had Problems Like Anyone But His Amazing Music, Dance Moves, And Caring Nature Will Be Missed Dearly.
I'm Not Just Saying This Because He Has Passed I've Been A True Michael Jackson Fan From The Jackson 5 To The Invincible Days.
Anyone Who Cannot Appreciate His Talent And Music Is Truly Foolish And Probably Doesnt Like The Beatles Or Elvis Since They Made Great Music As Well.
