I still remember watching this is on live tv as a kid with my family. If I remember correctly it was the night before the towers fell :wow:

I was born in the 80's and I was done with Michael Jackson's music after Bad. Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad are the only albums i ever liked throughout his whole career. and the only ones I even acknowledge now :manny:

The Jackson 5 stuff is corny to me and in the 90's he became a mockery of himself...The Remember the time video was dope tho...


But with all that said...RIP MJ. The GOAT Pop Star/Entertainer. I respect his impact on music and the world in general.

:salute:

Only real hate I remember was in the media. Most people I remember mighta tossed a joke around but as for not being loved...I cant co sign that....Too many people had Mike in the psyche of their childhood.


I'm not even trying to here some bullsh*t about any kid touching cuz he was never found guilty in the court of law........Meanwhile no one really stresses what Pete Townsend did and he really did cross the line yet Rock fans act like that never happened and acknowledge The Who as Rock gods......Elvis crossed the line as well and is considered the king of rock and roll......If The Who can be loved and Elvis can be loved then Mike who was never found guilty shouldnt be a victim of double standard.

What happened bro ?

What's up with all of these 90's babies talking about they grew up to his music after he died? :dahell: What's with all of this "he was my icon" shyt?:dahell: We gonna act like he wasn't looked at as a fukking pervert for the last decade of his existence? :dahell: We gonna act like the only people at his concerts weren't the same middle aged white women that were releasing doves at his trial?:dahell: Now he's an icon? Now he's special to ya'll?:dahell: Now you were "always a fan" and "knew he was innocent"? :dahell: Where were you "true fans" when he was getting shytted on day in and day out? So he wasn't the butt of every joke now?:dahell: The hood was fukking with Michael, huh?:dahell: The same Michael climbing trees and getting cancer boys drunk?:dahell: Maybe I just have a bad memory...

CAC alert! :bryan:

He insisted at the time that he had simply been conducting ‘research’ when he paid £7 with his credit card in 1999 to access a website bearing the message ‘click here for child porn’. Despite his denials of harbouring depraved desires, he accepted a police caution, and was duly placed on the sex offenders’ register for five years. His image has never fully recovered, although he did play at the Olympics closing ceremony this summer, along with The Who’s only other surviving original band member, lead singer Roger Daltrey. He has now broken his silence on the issue, as he promotes his new autobiography, Who I Am. Speaking to The Times, Townshend said that he had struggled to express himself in the book because his actions seemed ‘insane’, even to him. He said that when the police raided his home in 2003 after combing through the records of a US company hosting child porn sites, his main concern was just that they would read his diaries, featuring dilemmas about which yacht or flash car to splash out on, and think he was ‘a self-obsessed prat’. Instead, he found himself condemned as a paedophile around the world.

This thread is 100% correct . Everyone remembers that Martin bashed interview when he was saying he slept with boys or whatever :what: nicca turned into a weirdo . Yeah I liked his music but that doesn't change the fact he was a oddity with Peter Pan syndrome . I love how everyone blames cacs for everything as if they would leave they kids overnight with mike :snoop: anyone getting a bunch of child molestation accusations isn't someone I'm going to run to defend
