		<description>stupid statements such as , &quot;The best thing Michael jackson did was die.&quot; tell that to the the families and children that millions of his dollars were used to help. I am sure they would be interested in that stupid opinion. I am so fed up with this crap. You know I knew a man who had the same skin disease as Michael Jackson. I remember it was horrible and disfiguring. I remember his facial hair and the hair on his head even became light. He seem so depressed by the way people looked at him. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Imagine this happening to an adolescent who was an entertainer. It&#039;s hard enough to get through the teenage years let alone with a disability that people make fun of. On top of that you are constantly seen by millions of people. So the man had money and he tried to look normal. Maybe he did not always succeed according to our standards. But that makes us a sorry bunch to judge someone because of their appearance. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On top of that he reached out to help others. No Michael Jackson WAS NOT A SAINT and he made plenty of mistakes. But as the mother of disabled child I would say he was a far better human being that some of the idots that make these post and those who tried to destroy him. None of you can say you gave over 300 million dollars in your life time to help others. But he can and so much of this happen before we started attacking him. hmmm!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Further regarding the molestation. I have one question why the hell did the mother of that last child leave the court room laughing.(don&#039;t believe me view the tape of her after the trial leaving the court room) If someone had really attacked my child I would not find anything funny I would be hysterical and not rest until I proved they did it and money would certainly not make me stop pursuing them. However If I was paid to attack this man either way I would be happy. She was after money and why the hell didn&#039;t we investigate this woman who encouraged a child to do this. That alone is abusive and what message has this sent to that child.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We don&#039;t like to hear the truth because it makes us examine our own prejudices. I am sick and tired of the lies. Let this man rest in peace and stop lying on him. I would suggest that to continue to attack a dead man with these lies, with no regard for his children and how this crap hurts them is a sorry commentary for us as human beings. One thing is certain what goes around comes around. Geeze accusing someone based on crap for evidence and the fact that they were disfigured. this sounds more to me like we resented the mans success (money) and perhaps something else. For once lets look at all the players in this mess and tell the truth. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for the Doctor involved in this. Saying it was Michael&#039;s fought that a doctor gave him a drug that killed him because he was addicted is liking saying a drug pusher is innocent of supplying addicts on the street. I AM REALLY SICK AND TIRE OF ALL THIS CRAP. I THINK IT IS TIME PEOPLE SPOKE UP ABOUT WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON HERE. If you care about children as much as you claim consider the children who just lost their father.</description>

		<description>The &quot;questionable lyrics&quot; were meant as a consciousness-raising ANTI-RACIST statement.  &quot;Jew me/ Sue me/ Everybody do me/ Kick me/ Kike me/ Don&#039;t you black or white me&quot; was definitely not meant as some sort of anti-Semitic slur, but rather in an ironic, do-you-see-the-stupid-racist-things-people-say sort of way.  He was actually very saddened and disappointed when the [Idiot] Public didn&#039;t understand his intended meaning.</description>

		<description>Sad news. We may never see a star of Jackson&#039;s magnitude again. And as huge as he was, there will always be the woulda/coulda-beens, about the alternative universe where he did not descend into weirdness. Having said this, I do not regard the world&#039;s *artistic* loss from his death to be as big as, say, when Joe Strummer died young after having rediscovered his artistic voice and having grown as a human being; never mind as big as from those like Jim Croce who were cut down in their prime.  At best MJ would have been able to offer a glimpse of his former greatness. Perhaps the rehearsal tapes will indicate whether even that would have happened.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Agree that &quot;The Love You Save&quot; is superior to &quot;I Want You Back&quot; and &quot;ABC&quot;. The former has grown on me over time, &quot;ABC&quot; has most definitely not. And it might be a classic but I could never be OK with a pre-teen singing &quot;I&#039;ll Be There&quot;. Doesn&#039;t the &quot;Just look over your shoulder honey ...&quot; line have some of the stalker vibe often found in the Mellow Gold canon?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Fact is I am not a big fan of the Jackson 5 catalog, period. Major, MAJOR, exception: Clifton Davis&#039;s &quot;Never Can Say Goodbye&quot;. I would have put that at #2 on the list, the song&#039;s chart peak. Great song in and of itself and the usual amazing soulful vocals by Michael. Along with &quot;Rock With You&quot; and &quot;Human Nature&quot; maybe my favorite of all of his songs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The only other pre-&quot;Off The Wall&quot; song that I really go out of my way to hear is &quot;Dancing Machine&quot;, which also hit #2.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And since we are citing chart positions hear, a tip of the hat to the now retired Casey Kasem. An anachronism from day 1, but I listened to guy every weekend from the mid-1970s until the Top 40 got unlistenable ca. 1986-87.</description>

		<description>Sorry if I repeat comments already made, but just to make sure these issues are addressed:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1.  The space costumes in the &quot;Shake Your Body&quot; are certainly NOT &quot;unremarkable&quot;!  They are, in fact, spacetastic.  Look how long MJ&#039;s arms are!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2.  Romanek deserves extra props for finding a lighting scheme that would actually make Michael&#039;s 1995 face look kinda cool and science-fiction-y instead of just wack.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3.  I think the reason that there are few to no conspiracy theories suggesting that MJ is still alive is because, as bizarre and sad as his death may be, most people, consciously or un-, are pretty relieved by it.</description>
