I have a simple test for MJ`s genius. Could he ever have danced on our Indian rhythms having 5, 7, 9, 17, 29 Matras (beats) in one Avartan? It is easy to make some stupid, jerky movements to 1 - 2, 1 - 2 beat, which does not change. Only big volume (hiogh decibels) of the drum cannot provide true musical pleasure. There has to be an art content and the MJ music just does not have it.

How can we call MJ a "he"? Have you ever seen a male human being so totally woman like in facial skin and lacking so completely any male characteristics at all?
He was acquitted of all charges. He lost his wealth in legal battles and eccentric shopping. Coming to the skin dyeing, its all rumors. He was diagnosed with vitiligo in 1990(skin losing melanin and turning white). Most importantly try to remember the good things about him in his demise. He was a genius: Composer, Singer, Dancer, Performer, global celebrity. All extraordinary talents combined into one. He is a legend and has inspired choreographers, dancers, singers, artists, kids you name it. People started taking singing, dancing seriously as a career after watching him. Websites like Twitter, LA times crashed when people jammed the websites on his death. Even google, aol, yahoo slowed down under the barrage of people flooding in to pay their respects to MJ online. He is the greatest celebrity in this century and the King of pop. No one even comes close. Mayhe find freedom and happiness in his death. We have lost the greatest entertainer in the world. He is far greater than the media hyped trash like Curt Cobain and Princess Diana who just achieved greatness because they died an untimely death. To maintain a record and career like that for over 3 decades is no mean feat. A child prodigy and a legendary entertainer is what MJ will be remembered for
It was only yesterday I showed the videos of Michael Jackson to my 6 yr old daughter...I told her how great a dancer, singer and an entertainer he was. I was surprised when my daughter said..." Papa! every film stars are jus copying him." She became an instant fan of him. She watched all his videos again and again on the youtube. It was then I realized how he is able to even impact a totally new generation.
I grew up with in the generation who admired Michael Jackson in his peak........u ask any top dancers or artist in India.....Prabhu Deva, Hrithick, Javed or anybody.....they all grew up influenced by him and in turn has helped them in their career in someway. World over we could take lots of examples. He conveyed wonderful inspirational messages to the world through his music. He is truly a legend which has brought changes to many in a big way. No body in the future can never ever beat his record sales or can be another like him.
I only wished the media and people stop tarnishing his image with assumptions. I feel only a shallow minded person would misunderstand him.
His legend will live on and you will see more of new age artist inspired by him. May his soul rest in peace.
Was MJ murdered? Sky News says the doctor who 'treated' him is missing, elusive now. Maybe the 50 concerts in London sold out, and organisers made their money already. Or debt-collectors bumped off MJ realising he couldn't clear off his debts. Perhaps new music stars wanted him dead bcz he was looking for a comeback. They felt threatened. Or perhaps it's suicide - MJ may have realised that he can never recover the past magic, and may have been overwhelmed by the huge (500m) debts, family life in tatters, poor health, ageing, lack of soul-mate, business losses (Neverland was sold off). Too much for any one person to carry. Suicide is probable because it is what an implosion is all about. Anyway... RIP.
