"She was more like a beauty queen from a

From the time when the weirdest thing about him was his spangly glove.

Mama always told me - be careful who you love, be careful what you do, 'cause it all comes to you, hey hey... you can't deny this is a great song.

Debat 8-07-2007

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.

Lynneat 8-07-2007

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

Michael Jackson is a musical genious, changed music and dance forever. Usually, 'the truth', people who are any kind of genious dont need to go into a institution >_>. If you knew anything that wasnt complete bullsh*t that the press releases about Michael Jackson, you wouldn't think he was that way.

I dont care if he kills somebody--that doesnt erase this as being a good song, that doesnt erase that memory when i first saw the motown 25 performance and jumped out of my seat. that doesnt erase that to this day he is the only black person that looked good in a jeri curl. Hell, i got Milli Vanilli on my Ipod and they didnt even sing that s*!%, because they were good songs that i have good memories to.

When you've got millions upon millions of dollars
you tend to not really care so much what those who are the "have not's" think.
Just long as they buy your product.
Michael Jackson in my opinion though is a product of being child in the limelight all his life.
Don't think he ever really learned social skills since by the time he dropped his father as manager
he could buy anything and everything he wanted.
Never got to socialize with kids throughout the developmental stages of his life.
So yea he is amazingly talented but he paid a very high price for that same talent.
I also think he craves public adoration like crack
addicts crave that crackpipe.
