Re: ## Reports: 'Michael Jackson Has Died' ##
I just wish his family and friends all the best. It is they who were close to Jackson. I will not "mourn" him so to speak... I don't believe I can as I didn't know him personally.
Personally I don't think he was a paedophile or whatever. I have my reasons for thinking that but not everyone will agree so I'll keep them to myself.
He also changed the life of many, by donating and raising millions for charity. I think if anyone needed any proof he is a "decent man" then they needn't look any further.

The latest news on Michael is that Jordi Chandler, the kid who got 22 mill, is now saying M.J. did not touch him. That it was a con by his dad. So hopefully this will shut up the paed slur. Now i will admit that other people like Mother Teresa deserve way more coverage on her death than she got, but Michael Jackson is one of the greatest musicians of all time. He entertained us when we felt down, we danced (or tried to) like he did, and someome who was their in the early days, wanted to have the Miachael Jackson afro. Also when he went wet look, me and millions of other men sat in a hairdresser with a stack of chemicals and curlers on our head.(I'm now bald)
He influenced a generation. Everyone wanted to be like Mike.
So he deserved all the acculades he's getting right now because he was one of the greatest entertainers of all time, and we all need people to make us happy.
The 50 gigs at the O2 may have been a way to have him die at the forefront of the world's mind but who cares.
He definately did some weird things that I did not agree with but anyone who gets that big in a medium that the world watches has to get major props when he dies in my opinion.
So I will say Rest In Peace Michael. You entertained me more than any star.
