you've got to draw the line somewhere! i mean i've listened to and enjoyed hard electro that seemed to have associations of nazism, but molesting kids?
that's if he did it anyway, i kinda give him the benefit of the doubt... don't know why.

Its not really what I think of when I think of the guy to be honest - there was 30+ years of amazing music he had done before all that bollocks - how can you neglect that an say hateful and nasty things to a man who has contributed more to music than any of us will ever......Its just e-thuggish and ignorant.

whats the difference between gary glitter and MJ?

one was caught and the other one got away with it

RUMOUR HAS IT MJ'S FACE IS GOING TO BE MELTED DOWN INTO TOYS, SO THAT KIDS CAN PLAY WITH HIM FOR A CHANGE.

Sure, I wouldn't have felt comfortable leaving my kids with him for the weekend... but to diss the music he did before any of that bullshit because of his later character issues is hypocritical.

Everyone loves to think that the artists they love & admire are wonderful people. Some are wonderful, but the truth is, some are complete assholes. Some are assholes due to the worldwide attention, some were assholes all along. It doesn't matter really. Given enough time, being a dick will wash away and if the art was special enough, it will endure.

Also- to those who say Quincy Jones was the real talent behind Off the Wall & Thriller... I can't argue on one hand, because Q is a genius (of course, his own albums sucked). However, no one but MJ could have performed those songs like he did. It is like saying Phil Jackson was the true genius behind Michael Jordan. It is true that no one puts the whole package together like Phil Jackson (even tho he never played on the level of the players he coaches)... but only Michael Jordan could make the plays the MJ made.


So if people wanna hate- go ahead and hate. But for those of us who bought the Off the Wall and/or Thriller vinyl as our first record before we even reached a double digit age... and spun that shit endlessly for years. And for those of us who had the sparkly gloves and shades... and behind all the dancing, spent loads of time in our rooms wondering how music could affect us so deeply... we raise our glasses and say "Thanks Michael... (you fucking freak)".

What's the difference between Michael Jackson and Manchester United?
















Manchester United will be playing Giggs next year.

Well, first of all- there's a diss right there.

As I said, as a parent I might be wary due to speculation... but that doesn't mean it happened. Same way that I might hear a rumor about some kid at school and not let my kids spend time with him/her... as a parent I decide to be overly critical (just in case), but that doesn't automatically mean the kid in question is a bad apple.


It also just isn't 30 years of his music-- but the fact that you would be hard pressed to find ANYONE who wrote good music in the past 30 years that wasn't directly or indirectly influenced by MJ. Especially for electronic music lovers... pretty much all electronic dance music can be traced back to house music which came from disco. And while MJ can't be credited for ALL of disco... most of the best disco music was either made by him or influenced by him.

Also- show me someone older than 20-25 who says they didn't love Thriller and I will show you a liar.

I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. I want to believe that a grown man can be so innocent as to sleep (literally) with random children. But if I'm being honest with myself, come on...

It's good to be so confident of your view, that you can without an doubt diss dead people.

I honestly don't know what the hell was going on with Jacko and kids. But it would be stupid to assume the worst, people can be just simply weird without harming anyone. I don't think that MJ ever was a "grown man".

RIP tho, best pop ever made.

i'm an 'e-thug' for condemning child molestation. ok.
what if he molested your kids? then would it pale in comparison to his years of amazing music?

Michael Jackson's upcoming London dates have been cancelled. They were James (aged 9) and Thomas (aged 11).
