I'm watching his memorial right now. I feel so very sorry for him. I'd like to kick the *ss of whoever affected him so bad that he changed so much for the worse.
It is very sad. He looked as if he lived a tortured life. I just pray he made the decision to accept Christ before his death.
I feel sorry for the children he sexually molested. I for one am sick to death of hearing nothing else but about him. Sure he lived a tortured life but that isn't a reason to excuse his behavior. I'll be glad when he is in the ground and real news is broadcast once again.
Ya know...I keep forgetting all about the child molestation! LOL. Probably because I don't pay much attention to him. lol. Maybe after the memorial is over there won't ge so much about him on anymore. I do agree there is way too much MJ going on. I also think it is so strange to see fans crying thier eyes out over this. I never understood the idea of being that kind of fan...just plain weird to me. Oh and yes, a tortured life is not excuse for his behavior...had that entered my mind I would have thought of it differently. I just like his music..I don't pay attention to the lives of stars.
Back in the day when he was still a black man instead of a bleached out freakish child molester I just loved him! I still have the Thriller album at my parent's house. He was on top of the world. Don't know what actually caused him to change.
I don't know very much about Michael Jackson and haven't been listening to the news about him. Was he convicted of child abuse? I remember hearing things about him a few years ago, but don't know what it was all about. I know that sounds dumb, but I just don't watch stuff about celebrities very often. Beth
I am SO FED UP with hearing about Michael Jackson!!! To me, he was a creepy guy who died. Yes, he lived a tortured life, and yes, I feel for him, but he CHOSE his lifestyle. And I'm tired of everyone thinking he was so great. Well, he WASN'T! He was just plain CREEPY!
I'm going to be the odd ball, and that's fine with me. But he was never convicted of any crime, he did however pay huge sums of money to those families that claimed he victimized them. The first victim he was never even charged with anything and the second one went to court and the the jury found him not guilty. And just because someone is weird and some don't understand the reasons he lived the way he did doesn't give anyone a right to call names. I'm tired of the hostility, he has kids that have to live in this world now and for them I hope people let go their hostile and negative attitudes towards someone most of us never met for the sake of his children. The only person he has to answer to is god, not the rest of us. And if this finds me in the doghouse so be it, I'm tired of the negativity in this world.
I only said he looked tortured because in my opinion he did. Now, I may sound terrible here but I don't really care. I have no emotion over the fact that he lived or died. I suppose I feel for the family's loss but I feel no loss. I am surprised..no..not surprised but I find it odd that fans feel such a loss. So, please don't mistake my "tortured" comment as I give a hoot. As the above poster said, he doesn't answer to anyone but God..so let God sort it out. I haven't paid attention to MJ since the Bad album and even then I was not such a big fan. lol. To me, it's like being told someone I never knew died..that's about the extent of my emotion on this one. MJ was never convicted of child molestation. Was he guilty? How would I know? That's part of why I never think about those charges..one..I don't think about him and two he was not convicted. Who am I to say he was guilty of a crime he was found not gulity on? Again, I don't care. lol.
I don't care what anybody here or elsewhere thinks about MJ. I think he was a creepy freaky child molester who wasn't convicted because he had tons of money to pay people off. That is just what I think and I am not telling anyone else to think that way. Like I said - don't care. I totally agree with Ava.
I am not so sure he molested any children, I feel like some parents really wanted some big time money, because the first trial was just in a civil cort....... then the other parent got the same idea. My DH and I have been talking about the MJ stuff and the excessive news coverage, and we feel that hi father was so into that family making him big time money and really pushed those kids, and MJ did not get to have a real child hood that is why he spent so much time enjoying time in his Neverland ranch doing things a kid would do with the rides and stuff. Then he had children of his own so that he could have that unconditional love that children give. I think he was very talented and so many people now realize how much they enjoyed his music and dancing. I did not get to watch most of the memorial, but suspect parts and pieces will be played on the news. I really hope that now his family can get some peace. I hope that his children can grow up with some normalcy.
Child molester or not, I am sick of hearing about him. Our world is full of real heros yet most of us will never hear of them. To me, that is a huge shame.
Thank you for stating this fact..Michael was not found guilty of any crime...I too am tired of all of the negativity in this world.
Whatever made him change is why I feel sorry for him. Something drove him so far over the brink that he took on all these strange features. Me- I blame his father.
I think we all need to stop blaming everyone he did what he did he was adult a big boy and made his own bed. I am like everyone else I am so tired of hearing about him. Elvis wasn't on this much.. Alot of other wonderful stars got left on the back burner, when he died. there death wasn't mention much after that. But, thats American they will print and say whatever we want to hear. If we want to hear it and enjoy it they print and say more. I really feel sorry for the his children they are the ones that break my heart they are ones that have to pay for everything now. I just wish people when they get so down and out would go find help and think of the there children before they end there life so fast. I hope and pray his was natural and not drugs, but the more I am hearing the more it's drugs. Why he had children to raise, I know he was under alot of stress but hay he was adult say no I can't do it. Think of the children Ok I am ramble now..
I was a MJ fan, am I now? No. I am sad he died, he has children that will miss him and he was young. Do I know what he did or didn't do in life? No. I believe that it is God's hands now!
