    "She was more like a beauty queen from a

    "He's a musical genius" - didn't Eddie Murphy say that right before he wiped his nose?

    He's a child predator... He WAS a very talented entertainer.

    I think his best line, of course maybe his most dillusional also was when he said" I didnt have sex with those little boys"

    Michael still gets people of ALL ages up on their feel dancing. Let the past stay where it belongs. They "alledged" alledgations against him never were revealed - let them die. He's a real true talented musician and always will be. Leave the man alone to let him perform and make people happy to enjoy his music. THRILLER was the best!!!! Video and song. GO Michael - my family will always be your biggest fans.

    as sick as we may feel michael is or was... i still blame parents for leaving there children in the custody of an adult that has the reputation he earned long before the last incident... the boy/man as a performer will always be numero uno for those who loved to dance.

    He's always going to be a polarizing figure though. He had an incredible talent, but sadly, I think people will remember him as much for his wacky off stage shennanigans, as much as for his music. He was a bit like Elvis though, wasnt he? Loads of hangers on and very few friends. =(

    I seriously believe that his talent is extraordinary and it's too bad that fame and paparazzi tend to tarnish peoples' lives like they have for Michael.

    Deb: Jackson is seriously mentally deranged. The nutcase belongs in an institution for life.

    The man is undeniably extremely talented. Genius level... and with that great talent comes major eccentricities. Go back in history, and nearly every genius.. either in some form of talent or merely sheer intelligence.. has some major eccentricities. Some border on criminal. I believe Michael falls into that category.. perhaps not intentionally, because it seems that the man really has no concept of age appropriate interactions.

    I personally don't think it's any of our (the public) business what happens behind closed doors - between consenting adults. Once it involves children, it becomes the business of everyone, and must be stopped. Okay, he was found not guilty in court.. BUT.. no law enforcement agency would devote that much manpower and resources if they didn't have a good reason.

    Never been one of M.J.s fans, but this song is great. When the king was real and not fake, he's now the king of pop and jokes

    I will always love Michael, his musical talent is top notch, there was this guy in my neighborhood who would do the Jackson five for our school talent shows. And he would do the whole group. But then I had talent shows with my brother and cousin and we did every Jackson five song. So yes this is one of those oldie but goodies. Love you Michael
