Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Yep, Michael Jackson's on the lam. Well, people only try to arrest, put-down, pan, etc. him ... when he has a new project. See, it's not him, he says he's innocent, it's either people don't understand him or they just don't like his work. That's what he said. I reckon he'd like to sell me the Brooklyn bridge. I think he's trying to look like Sandra Bullock. |

| Sad thing about the michael jackson issue is that he is richer than OJ was and maybe more popular, so he will probably get a 'johnny cochran-type attorney to buy him a verdict/plea-bargain, if he even goes to court at all...the good thing is that he will be exposed to the entertainment world for the that he really is, and hopefully he will be broke when it's all said and done.... |

I hope you're joking about Europe. Everybody knows we don't consider wearing only one glove to be normal behavior.

Jacque Chirac better cover his ass or he'll be replaced by M Jacqueson who has the very traits that most French people desire and would swoon to have. Moonwalking the Shamps Eleezee will be the new French victory march. |

It is obvious the guy is sick. We may have a distorted set of values here in the old World but we still provide help for the mentally unstable and even send the good and the great to jail when they do wrong.

He is obviously still a child mentally...maybe he never "grew up", or maybe he regressed after he got rich and sheltered. He will probably try to avoid any responsiblilty, maybe he will run, but it will not avail him in the end.
I don't know if the comment about Michael's wealth is still correct....my wife told me a while back that he was having to consider selling his huge estate to pay his bills....his music doesn't sell diddly squat now because of his antics. I recall she said that he was millions in debt. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Although I tend to agree with Al's assesment of the music, or at least it's not my cup-of-java, the mainstream press seems to have a lot of fun with him. Yeah his record sales are down. Down to 2 million for his last album, which is what many artists would strive to ever see.
Although I really don't know what to think of him other than he is a very sad human (no sympathy, just observation) he will still be in the History books both musical and otherwise, and his albums will still not be outsold over time.
The simple fact is that most of us just don't care about MJ, and his fans will always be his fans and won't be swayed. Hmmm MJ... OJ... I see a pattern. |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | (smiling)....come on, Al, tell us what you REALLY think!!!!....
I agree with you, his music from the last 10 years or so sucks BIG TIME. But there are several musical groups and indivduals (I won't give names) that I think suck also, but they still manage to sell big numbers because the media is behind them. The media is no longer behind Michael, it is just using him for their benefit. Instead of laughing with him, they are now laughing AT him.
But "Thriller" is still a very good album, well worth listening to. Even if there aren't any Ovations on it..... ;) |

You would think from the media response that they were watching the resurrection of Christ, one cameraman died on the spot. All child molesters would like us to think they were living a retarded idealistic childhood, but unless we have become imperial Rome, having orgys with children is a ticket to a retaliation from a parent that if it was my child would cause an immediate maturity and realization of the real world and what type of bottom sucking scum they are, if they survive the experience. |

Location: Germantown, MD | What I keep wondering is what the hell the parents of this kid were thinking. Let's see: years ago, Jackson was charged with pedophilia, and he got off by buying off the only witnes whose testimony could convict him. Then he gets photographed holding "his" baby over a balcony. And parents let their kids spend time with him? What's wrong with this picture?
And I've heard that he was paying for the kid's cancer treatment, so maybe that's the answer. "I'll let my kid hang out with a pedophile, and he may get molested, but at least he'll be alive?"
Peace,
John |

He is a strange duck but I guess we have to give him the benefit of the doubt. He was relevant 20 years ago but not anymore |
