Yes MJ is kinda weird. Not questioning that. But, why do people (well, at least my age, 23, and older) talk about the guy like they never liked at least some of his music? He MAY HAVE or MAY NOT HAVE molested children. That's not for us to decide. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like people totally disregard the fact that the guy was a musical genius, (in my and millions of other people's opinions, anyway.) All people wanna do is call him a weirdo and "Wacko-Jacko" Your thoughts. No tools please. Thanks.

I think millions of people respect his musical talent. At times his court cases have overshadowed his success, but I think many people recognize his contributions to the music world, and will continue to do so for years to come.

I liked the guy's music, but he has overshadowed it with his behavior.
Even if you're optimistic enough to believe that he's not a pedophile, you have to admit that he's been off the deep end for a long time now. Moreover, it has affected his music, which has been declining in quality for 20 years now.
For the first 20 years, from the Jackson 5 era through "Off the Wall," Thriller," and "Bad," he was doing great stuff, and as an adult, he became one of the most influential figures in dance as well.
Then he just went....well, you know.....
It's really quite sad, but he brought it on himself.

Yes he was a musical genius and he also came up with the ideas for some outstanding music videos. You know we will never know the truth about whether or not her molested those kids.

I don't think so, but then again I don't know everything. He is the King Of Pop. He had great music. The album Thriller sold more than over 51 million copies in the world. The man is great. He's got some sick moves too!

I wonder if he would have stayed how God intended him to look and sound what he would've become. I never cared for his music (just not my type of music). I know a lot of people have surgery ...but his voice became more feminine and it's just his actions that scare me....like a scared little girl. I hope for all the children's sake that he didn't molest them, but it just doesn't make since. As far as being a musical genius, as I said before I would have to disagree as I don't find his music all that appealing. But everyone has their own likes and dislikes.

Well a child molestor is kinda offensive and scary, but he should make a come back like chairity. He should put 2 million in a mutual accont and save a million to get by in life, and then send the rest to chairty. People would love him for that.

Okay he was a musical genius who is weird.
Just like R. Kelly...just because you have a certain talent doesn't mean that you get a get out of jail free card.

His musical talents are foreshadowed by his antics that is why. His main problem is that he refuses to live somewhere quietly. He gives people fodder with his strange behavior so why not make fun of the guy.

Child molestation is for everybody to decide. Who wants a molester loose on the streets if you have kids? He made some great songs, But a song doesn't make up for what he allegedly did.

He was a musical genius. As for his molestation - while I do not know if he did or didn't why the hell would you let your kid play there alone!
