Well, I like Michael Jackson's music lots. I think he was a great artist, ahead of his time. He undoubtedly had a lot of influence on today's music.
However, respecting a man's death when someone believes him to be a pedophile isn't understandable. You believe him to be innocent, so of course you will respect his death. However, those who believe he did it will probably be glad he's dead.
I, personally, don't believe he did it. But without speaking to the family, being at the court case, I honestly could never truly 100% know that I'm right.
yea michael is one for the books no one will truely understand what cause his suffering as for the child thing leave him alone i totaly agree with what u said they just in it for the money thats all i will surely miss him

I agree with this entry. I feel really bad for MJ. He's done so much for people through his music, he sacrificed his childhood, and so many people think he's a sleazebag.
So long after the fact, I just wanted to say that this entry is beautiful. It made me tear up. I truly believe he was innocent, too. He was such a wonderful, happy, magical part of my childhood. He was my idol. He was my hero. Unfortunately this cruel world tried to take him down, and eventually I caved to the pressure. I numbed my heart to how much I loved him and I didn't know what to believe. And sadly, that wall I built up only crumbled once he passed away. But I'm so happy to have him in my life again, to feel the love again, and I'll never lose it again. His passing will always be a tender spot for so many of us, but he really did get his comeback, even if not the way he wanted. Everyone loves him again. And I believe he's smiling down on us from Heaven.
let me clear this up...michael DID NOT want to settle. he went thru the whole being photographed naked and all, and still didnt back down. his assistants, managers and everything told him just settle but he wouldnt. thats where the pills came into place and addiction. he took it to sleep peacefully bc it was truly bothering him. finally after much arguing he agreed to settle. Michael was and still is so misunderstood. if he had really done those things, do u honestly believe the police would allow him to have the three kids he did?
also after michaels death...dont kno if these ignorant assholes caught the show where the so called victims admitted to their parents making them say those things to get money.
reading his biography and autobiography, i am so sad for him. i love michael. with this pregnancy if its a boy, my sons middle name will be michael after him, and im gettin a tatoo. the man couldnt rest in life and even in death. people need to chill. let the angel rest.
I know this entry is old, but I'm a HUGE Michael fan. I haven't listened to anything but him (and Janet!) since the day he passed. I often get made fun of, you know since I'm in high school and that's just the way it is. But I won't ever stop loving him, and I still believe I'm going to marry him, lol.
He IS (I still speak in present tense) a beautiful man with the heart of a child. So many people are quick to judge because of his skin desease (vitiligo) and his TWO nose jobs and one cleft to his chin. I read his autobiography and I believe everything he says.
I firmly believe he is innocent 100%. The child who first accused Michael of molesting him had a history of going after other celebrities (George lopez) for money. Many people forget that Michael didn't offer the money, the kid's dad asked for it. What kind of parent does that? "You molested my child, but I just want money." That's wrong, and sickening. I believe that the other accusations were also for money- and the FBI files from court were released last week. The jackson brothers read them all and there is not one shread of proof that he did anything to those kids.
People also forget that he donated hundreds of millions of dollars to charity. Two of his tours, Victory and Bad were ALL donated to charity. He visited sick children off the cameras, and did it from the heart.
Sorry this was long, I just have a huge view and opinion of him. I know practically everything about him and it still guts me to think about him passing. I loved your entry.
I keep my mouth shut about that whole situation because nobody but God, Michael, and those children will ever know the real truth about what happened so I'm not going to sit around making statements like I know he did it or didn't do it. The parents that settled out of court for money were pitiful excuses for parents either way it went down because if it were true & he did it why wouldn't you want your child's molester to rot in prison or worse & keep him away from other children so he can't do it again...& if it weren't true they are still wrong for ruining a man's reputation for the rest of his life & using their children to get money & put them through something so traumatic. I just know if anyone was accused of it I would NEVER want my child around them again. There's no doubt he was a music legend though.
I didn't follow the news or the court stuff with him. I hated his music. And, any man who holds a baby out of a window like he did does not deserve this much attention just because he was a good singer before the incident.
I can feel sympathy towards his family, but I didn't care much for the man. And if his music reflects his character, that's probably why I hate that, too.
I think he was very talented. I don't think he was this big hero that he was made out to be. There are people who have done far more for the world. He was just a very good singer and songwriter. And I think his own life was a tragedy. He didn't have a childhood and he clearly had mental health issues (not least addiction problems). But while I suspect his behavior with some of those children was innappropriate I doubt there was any deliberate acts of harm towards them. I think it's a very sad story.
Though it just appeared on RC, if you look at the date on this entry you'll see it was written back in June when his death was a little more relevant. Thought I'd point that out.
I don't believe he was a child molester, either. I don't think there are many parents out there who would settle out of court if they truly believed their child was sexually abused. I know if it was any child in my family, I'd prefer to see the perpetrator rot in prison over any sum of money. Michael definitely had issues, but I don't think pedophilia was one of them. I don't get upset when I see jokes about him, because they've been around for years and obviously more are going to emerge after his death. The number of fans he has who still respect and mourn him outweighs those who are strongly against him. Every star or icon is going to have their haters.
I cant judge him simply because that is NOT my job. The only person who can judge him is God. However, I do know that what he did for a family friend way back towards the start of his solo career was a blessing.
He used his fame and his $ for so many good things that never made the news, it seems no matter who you are - the rumors, and the mistakes get played in the media over and over while the good things you do are barely covered.
i know that Michael Jackson's death took a toll on everyone, but can we please please please stop talking about it? It's great that you're an avid fan and want to clear his name, i think there should be more people like you in the world. but please, let the man rest in peace now...there has been so much publicity about it the past 7-8 months that it's like beating a dead horse.
Just saw your diary on the side of the page and it attracted me. I must say, I was not a huge fan like you seem to be, but I liked his music and admired him as an artist, the complete artist he was. Now what was happening behind closed doors, noone else than those involved will ever know, but it is very sad that people are trying to cash in on it, be it while he was alive or not, because it can really ruin people's lives. Michael was the KING OF POP and shall remain so, because no matter what, he was talented, and that is what he shall be remembered for. I don't know what I believe as far as the accusations, he did seem kind of odd, but at the same time, who's to say what he did or did not do?
I know what you are going through as far as mourning his loss goes, because I, too, have lost my idol (Stephen Gately) just a few short months ago, and it still hurts badly, and not many people can understand how that is or why. So as I just stumbled upon your diary, and had something to say about the entry, and I can relate to your feelings, I thought I'd leave you a comment saying so.
You take care!

we know his childhood was crap. we know he was rich. we know he was a great singer. that's all you need to know really.
i don't think he's the best singer ever, i don't think he's completely wonderful. i don't really think he molested children. i think he was extremely misguided and didn't think whatever he was doing was immoral, but that's all.
it's sad he's gone, but i can't relate to the hysteria surrounding his death because i wasn't close to him. i'd be more upset if someone i knew died, but people are acting like it was their brother or father who's passed on.
They need to get the hell over it. You guys are taking care of the dogs just fine. Whatever problem they have with you they should deal with like responsible adults rather than children. Good luck with the charges. I don't know how it works but just be in contact with the police department.
