Jackson...

In my humble opinion - Michael Jackson's music has always been heard by myself since I was a kid. From the early days of the Jackson 5, and through his succesive solo albums, If I hear a 'Jacko' tune, it always reminds me of that period of time - where I was, where I worked, what pubs I went to and who was I with. His music was so subconsciously powerful, I didn't realise it until now. If you can seperate the ''Man' from the 'Music', he was as important as James Brown in the the development of Funk and Soul. A 'living Legend'! Of course backed by the top songwriters, producers and studio session players at the time. (I won't bore you with the details).

But of course, his unusual upbringing as a child star, brought it's own complications. His father, Joe, used to beat his youngest son, Michael, and whip him with a belt, to push him into being the best he could be. He was a pre-teen child star, exposed to an adult world. His 1st reported sexual experience, was apparently at 14 years old, when on tour and staying in a motel room with his brothers, his Dad told everyone to leave the room except Michael, and then forced him to lose his cherry with a street hooker.

Whatever the 'facts' are, the man was seriously f**ked up, by years of parental abuse, media intimidation and analysis. Wether he enjoyed playing with children, through an emotional need of a lost childhood, or maybe something even more sinister, we'll never know. Maybe the media turned him into the monster?

I am by no means supporting his character, but his music. :D

R.I.P.

Your absolutely right. Wacko fans will always blind their intelligence from the truth that the king of pop, was also a freak, a wacko, and a paedo.

Nothing was ever proved though, there wasn't enough evidence, otherwise it would have been proved.

And don't say I love him, because I hate him and always have.

I hate him and always have.

Really? That's quite a strong word for someone who has presumably influenced your life with a few songs. Even if the music isn't your cup of tea, I don't really see why it would incite hatred. Anyway, I'm sad he's died, he wasn't very old...

a 'living Legend'!

Sad,

Was reading the Daily Mail earlier and there were some quotes from people on the internet saying how he isn't dead and its just to get money from everyone buying memorobilia because he has died etc, One women said "Moments after the news, Another fan called Elisa Chan Claimed she had seen Jackson strapping on a jetpack and flying to Los Angeles Airport. From there he was goingto visit his birthplace of Gary, Indiana, Before flying to Greenland to live with Eskimos."

:ermm:

He was a f**king peadophile.

If you found out your neighbour touched kids, then died you wouldn't be "aww such a loss blah blah" would you?

Granted he had a pretty astounding music career, but thats no excuse.

Yeah but it wasn't proven! Even if he was, he still did some fooking good songs (Y)

RIP dude.

If he did do it no amount of money would have made those familys back down they would have just kept fighting and trying to drag him through shit.

The amount of crap he went through as a kid would have headf**ked anybody and i believe that his way of trying to erase those problems was using his money to relive his childhood and the kids he had round would be like his mates and have the same view on the world as him.

He's been quoted saying "sharing a bed with a child is beautiful thing" or something along those lines...

Without defending paedophilia (except for it's comedy uses such as Brass Eye of course), I think that quote is very easy to take out of context. I very much doubt he was openly admitting that 'having sex with a minor is a beautiful thing', rather a parent comforting their child by cuddling it and showing it security and love... anyway I can see I'm starting to dig a hole so I'm gonna stop there...

i think the difference between michael jackson and jade goody is that he actually did amazing things with his life rather than being as pikey as possible
