Michael Jackson was one of the top rated entertainers in the world, and he is now dead. A real pity if nothing else. I don't know how you people can say he was a pedophile. First of all be aware he was cleared and aquited of all charges regarding this. In the eyes of the law he is not guilty. Secondly, if took the trouble to research some things, he donated 500 million dollars to charities world wide. Thirdly, if you people saw the memorial and you saw how his daughter cried for him and said he was the best father anyone could ever imagine, then you would not think him a pedophile. No person can be a good father (which he obviously was) and at the same time a pedophile. It is a real disgrace how people have no respect either for the living or the dead. Michael Jackson was, in my opinion a great entertainer worthy of the title of King of Pop and a great person.

Very nicely said!
Originally posted by RingwraithI would be more interested in hearing from his sons than his daughter, as he was into little boys and not little girls, from what I understand. Lots of people are acquitted and lots of people are found guilty and it doesn't mean they all belong in the category they're in. Since he admitted to sleeping naked with male children, I'm going to skip any assumption that he's worthy of my respect in that area. The pity is that he had a sucky life and not the kind of friends who cared about his best interests -- much like Elvis. While I enjoy being entertained, I don't think that's actually high on the "make the world a better place" list. But it's nice we have this forum to share our opinions whether or not we agree.

MJ was very talented, but....
...while being a great dancer, you're going to find a lot of rehashed Prince moves in his steps.
...while he was acquitted the second time, he settled the first time. I've already gone over that; you don't settle for over 20 million because you're innocent.
...while he was charitable, and raised generous sums through songs like We Are The World, I was again reminded that I detest that song. I'm not able to get past the fact that it gets its musical hook from ripping generously off Do You See What I See? But hey, if it works for dance moves....
I am no fan of Michael Jackson and never will be. His music isn't mine, his lifestyle isn't mine, his culture isn't mine, etc. and the media continues to blow any importance he might have beyond proportions that are already incomprehensible to me. Enough, already - bury him and move on.

Sure you can! Anyone can molest children and go home to be a good dad, why not? No-one said he molested his own daughter.
Originally posted by CrowleyMadoff also gave generously to charity. In fact, donating to charity is a characteristic gesture of the out-and-out hypocrite.
