i've personally never believed the negatives about mj and probably there are many others like who would have never believed it; there are very few people god makes whom the world cries for, its not because they make so more money and live life king size; but its that bonding and that love which develops over a period of time; love is beyond everything and mj is an ambassador of love humility and humanity.
He was a lunatic, substance-abuser (overdose of prescriptive drugs), low self-esteem sufferer (hence the skin dyeing to white), eccentric (holding/grabbing his own crotch). But in music terms, make no mistake -- he was a genius. Add to that his dancing ability. That made him a star performer. Clever businessman too. But, ultimately, was he a good human being? Debatable. But people will remember his music and dancing achivements which will remain unsurpassed forever. He is not a good role model though. He could not handle fame, money and success with equanimity, and loved to project himself as larger than life (remember making a big fuss of pissing in Bal Thackeray's loo in Mumbai). If only he confined himself to singing and dancing....But then, there is this great paradox in everything in Universe. MJ is no stranger to this paradox. Genius yes, but flawed, like every other genius.

his father put so much pressure on him to excel and that is why he had low self esteem and was weird. He was magic and lunatic in the same body. people should learn a lesson when they push their kids so hard that big amount of success will not give you happiness if you are messed up in your head. I really feel sad and sorry for him.
we shall definitely forget this writeup. But niether we nor all the future generations to come in perhaps thousand years will be watching Michael Jackson singing and performing in a style not humanly possible. They will think perhaps gods dance like this in paradise and sing like Jackson when they want to cry.

Dude, He's listed in the guiness book of records as the person supporting the maximum numbers of charities worldwide (39 in total). His Heal the World foundation has helped a huge number of children worldwide ...
You are way too small to question his existence and his goodness ...
If you wanna make the world a better place, Take a look at yourself and then make a change ....
