My gut feeling is that Michael was a not guilty of any of this child molestation stuff. I think he was a very strange and pitiable individual, but I do not think he was bad.

He's dead. If you hated him, isn't that enough? Must you make jokes?

And by the way, it's Michael. M-i-c-h-A-E-l.

Yikes. Pretty bad for even this group tonight.

We Are The World.


"We Are the World" is a 1985 song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, produced and conducted by Quincy Jones and recorded by a supergroup of popular musicians billed as USA for Africa.

YES

There would be jokes about Jacko whether people loved him or hated him. He was one CRAZY sonofabiatch regardless of whether he fiddled with kiddies or not.

But the fact that he DID makes him deserve not just the jokes, but the ridicule and the disrespect.

I hope when more evidence arises because he cant shut people up anymore, that he gets convicted posthumously.

Well...I grew up on his music..he is a legend in Europe, people were very suspicious about the child molestation stuff, but even if he is, I don't think his reputation was hurt as much over there as much as it was in USA.

I remember I was about 15 I think, walking down this town..in the middle of nowhere...this will sound strange to you but, that was when Michael Jackson's "Black and White" song came out, it was blasting from the speakers throughout the whole shopping avenue. I could hear it from miles away.

did her have talent? yes. was he a child molester? probably. do i feel the music world has suffered a great loss? not really (a lot of his latter stuff was crap). do i feel humanity has suffered a loss? no. be seeing you

amen a great video

It's a classic, IMO.

**Okay folks, we all have a strong opinion on both sides of this issue. Please refrain from the personal attacks on fellow forum members**

You can argue til you're blue in the face with the people making nasty comments tonight. Unfortunately, none of it's going to help. I'm happy at least some people, like you, are being respectful, though.

this is the best song every every writen and its all true, and this reflects michaels true carictor no matter the lies or juddgements others have

what fact??? it is not a fact



why was OUR tax money on something that he can't be tried for twice? there is double jeopardy...not to mention the man past away. what good will it do?

I was never a fan of his...but I feel for the family

Thanks. It is really disturbing to me the mob quality of persecution that some give with no proof. I agree that MJ was a strange bird but I cannot convict someone of something without having witnessed it myself.

Michael Jackson is an entertainer of great quality and the music industry lost an icon today.

well i do agree his latter music was terible, maybe to keep up with the peoples taste and disrespect for others. but his earlier stuff was great. i love billy jean

Respect where respect is due...

What an entertainer! What music! Brilliant. A legend.






But he was still a pedophile.

Shame on him.

best ever done
