Musically speaking, I am a big MJ fan. I think he has been the most influential artist in the last century, or, at least, one of them. His fans go crazy over him. I still dig his old tunes and others do to, because new remixes pop up all of the time.
When it comes to his personal life, I think he's pretty wack. I don't know if he really molested those kids or if it's a big money scam, but, either way, he's pretty out there. I respect his work, but I'm glad I've never met him and probably never will. Definitely glad I didn't meet him as a child. Ugghh!

i don't really think anyone is turning their head the other way.
i just think its daft if people think that they should stop listening to his music because of it. there is no denying he has been one of the most influencial people in music since the beatles, and the fact that he's shafted kids won't make me stop hammering billie-jean.
yes its sick and fucked up, and he will get whats coming, but if jack the ripper* made fucking good music, i would play it.

Hang on a second....
What happened to innocent before proven guilty?
All you people seem to be judging him guilty before the trial has even taken place. The media can warp a lot of facts, and it can be VERY influential in shaping peoples' views and opinions.
I am not saying whether he is innocent or guilty, but i prefer to wait for the courts to decide this, not the media.
I have to agree that building the massive Neverland Ranch is crazy-as-hell and i find it disturbing that a grown man sleeps in the same bed as boys BUT i really do think it is wrong to assume that he has done wrong.
If he is found to be GUILTY, then of course i say he can rot in jail for the rest of his life, because doing that to a child is pretty much the most fucked up thing that a person can ever do.

i mean the guy has been accused of child molestation atleast twice and is now just a plain out weirdo in every form, and has been exploited for all of it, but still has millions upon millions of fans chasing him around everywhere all over the world.....
personally, I think he was just abducted by aliens and replace with what you see now...maybe he is an alien.......its really just too bad the old michael isnt around....
He never put out anything interesting past the Thriller album in my opinion. Believe he began his downhill slide right after that as well. He turned into nothing more than a pedophile and child molester despite the worldwide acclaim he earned from Thriller. Oh well, reckon he fooled us from the beginning or else fell off the cliff after leading a normal life. Can't figure these celebrities sometimes.

Come on man. Bad's a pretty damn good album too. In fact, I'd take it over Thriller.
