While his talent and impact on pop music culture is undeniable he did lead a very questionable lifestyle, I have a very hard time separating the two. Some will say that he was never convicted of the child molestation charges but come on, he paid something to the tune of $20 MILLION to make this go away. OJ Simpson was found innocent and there was a body and SOOO much evidence involved with that case that pointed directly to OJ…But MJ choose to pay these people off. If I was EVER charged with something as VILE as this there is no way I would ever just pay someone off and I don’t know of anyone that would. In my heart of hearts, Mr Jackson was guilty of the charges and there is a very special place in the afterlife for people that do this type of crime. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones who are in pain during this time and while I will and never would dance on anyone’s grave, I am conflicted (to say the least) about his passing.
At the end of the day, the guy could sing and dance. You can't take that away from him. Love his older music ( because I'm older - hell, I was out of high school when Thriller came out! ). If you like Janet now, you should have seen her 15 years ago!
Regarles of his freak and personal preferences (something regretable) he was a great pop singer if not the best of the ´80s RIP MJ
A song just came out as a tribute to his life its called "Better on the Other Side" by The Game, Usher, P. Diddy and more, check it out guys.
