Before his body is cold and in the ground there's going to be loads of hateful things said about this man. Mostly from a position of complete and total ignorance.

Michael Jackson was a legend, may he rest in peace.

But your position is one of complete knowledge re Michael Jackson and his personal life yeh?

Certainly not.

I know that I don't know. I know that I enjoyed his work.
That is enough for me to not want to piss on the man today.

Fair play and I agree with you on that. Just think an innocent man wouldn't pay off those accusing him and therefore he'll only be a legend as a performer with me. His personal life hmm

"California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger: "Michael was a pop phenomenon who never stopped pushing the envelope of creativity. Though there were serious questions about his personal life, Michael was undoubtedly a great entertainer and his popularity spanned generations and the globe."

That pretty much sums it up for me RIP

But I'm not going to shed a tear because he's not a relative, he's not a friend and I didn't know him in any way.


FWIW

I think sums it up also, but it's not like he's made any truly great music for years - so from a personal or an entertainment point of view I don't see it being worth all the fuss.

Never have I seen so much bollocks on one thread. Pretty much lol for a good while at the Nazi reference (O'rly?) to this and how it is somehow the same as people knowing Jacko had a little fiddle.

lol at the 'he's innocent because he was not convicted in a court" comment. It's America, fame can get you out of many situations. If that fails pay the poor family 20million to shut up.

Of course we get our views from the media, the bashia do cumentry, the civil court cases, the ex workers confessions of his bizarre behaviour, there is no doubt (it was a given fact in the court case against him) he took young boys back to his house and got pissed with them.

Yes it's sad for his family he died, but ffs people making out its a massive thing and that its a great loss for this recluse to have died. Get real.

Put the spoon away Cambo, the topic is being debated civilly imo, no one is being personally flamed ... someone like Jacko is bound to split opinions.


If the thread upsets you, dont open it.


And for those that wish to post on it ... just remember the flaming rules etc...

On this we agree

BBC 24's coverage of this is ridic OTT. I tuned in at around 3am this morning to see them talk to Asian correspondent for her to pontificate about how Jacko's death was going to affect people in the east. This interview was interrupted for them to go live to pictures of a helicopter that was to be taking Jackson's body across town to the coroner.

Not worried about it being in poor taste, just irrelevant when taking up so much of their airtime.
Someone has died = news, give an obituary and that, include it in the bulletins fair enough, but the blanket OTT coverage pisses me off.

I agree with Tank in this debate. The abuse allegation was brought to the table by Jordan Chandler's Dad...over a year after the abuse supposedly happened...Michael Jackson's legal team settled with Jordan Chandler's legal team for $22million. I reckon the only abuse to be found here would have been in the meeting between the Dad and the 2 legal teams when they decided what figure to sting Jackson for and how to carve it up amongst themselves. With that much easy money on the table I would humbly suggest corruption is inevitable. Chandler's Dad would never accept money if he believed his son had been abused. Would any of you guys accept money if your child had been abused?? Jackson died skint. He sure got the right advice from the people around him who obv always had his best interests at heart.

On a slightly more descriptive note.

If you were in that position and offered a $1m then you'd say no
if they then offered $2m - and you said no
they then offered $4m - and you said no
then $8m - and you said no

Are you saying it's entirely unfeasible that they couldn't get to a figure that eventually would keep you and your extended family financially secure for life plus plenty left over for luxuries - and you'd never give in?
