    Its your OPINION but it was proven in court that it is in fact not the case... it might be my OPINION that the moon is square but... you see where I'm going with this

    In his SECOND child molestation case he settled for an EIGHT figure sum. Why would an innocent man do this????

    Madonna is the most successful leech in the history of pop, consistently changing her style to take advantage of who/what happens to be popular at the time, to mask her own lack of talent. She has never been a leader, always a follower.

    Michael Jackson on the other hand blazed a trail of pop, funk rock and soul, he could sing, he could dance, and he could write tunes too. The fact that he's released nothing in years is a result of his personal circumstances, not a lack of legend-ness.

    Man if its that easy to stay successful for 25 years why didn't Belinda Carlisle, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner, Annie Lennox, Pat Benatar, Kate Bush, Deborah Harry and Michael Jackson.

    Has there ever been a pop star as consistently successful?

    Even today she was named top-earning act of the year.

    I respect her for been able to release a successful album every few years after everyone else has fallen away.

    It was another 5 seconds fame for Uri... no doubt we'll see other 'friends' coming out of the woodwork tomorrow. Wondering what Brian Cowen or Gordon Brown's comments will be tomorrow... nice distraction for them

    Absolutely can't believe Michael Jackson is dead..in absolute shock. He really did dedicate his life to music, and started at such an early age. Being in the public eye from the age of 11 has to have an effect on a person, putting pressure on a person as to what they should be, the media changed him considerably, I believe, what he should look like, and he was still a legend through it all. Absolutely can't believe it.... and he did do alot of work for human rights etc.
    In my opinion, he created absolutely incrediable music, and stunned the world, and we should all remember him for his music, and his dancing.
    No one to this day can compare in anyway to Michael Jackson, may he rest in peace.....I really feel like crying....

    To make the nastiness go away?

    Imagine if that was you - day in, day out - being hounded by the press, by parents looking to milk you for all you were worth ...

    Imagine you were depressed with the whole thing and wanted to bring an end to it.

    What would you do, oh Irish Toffees? lol

    + 1 to that

    What an attention seeker!

    If he was so grief stricken, why is he doing interviews now, when he should be crying in his bed.

    Words fail...........

    To stop a court case damaging his career maybe? Any assertion you can make about the situation has no bearing anyway, he was proved innocent in a court of law, you can't argue that.

    The reason she's remained successful is because she plagiarized other artists' music and sound. If this is what is considered a musical success, then let's say it's a sad day for artists who not only write their own music, but don't feel the need to be a follower in order to stay relevant.

    Moderators would usually be very quick to move a MJ thread to the music forum. (eg. Oasis thread last Sunday)

    If MJ was singing something, then it would belong in the Music forum.

    He's not (unless you count a swan song), so I don't see why AH isn't a perfectly fine place.

    I think with cardiac arrest the heart stops beating and needs immediate medical attention to be restarted where as a heart attack the heart continues to beat albeit not rhythmically.

    You're right on cardiac arrest, but the most common meaning of 'heart attack' is a myocardial infarction, where an artery supplying the muscles of the heart becomes occluded, causing muscle death. This can then lead to cardiac arrest or arrhythmia (thank you, years of General Hospital, Casualty, ER, Scrubs and House!).

    The world is going mental, the world is gonna go f*cking crazy for the next few weeks, he won't be forgotten and never in the history of time has a celebrity's death had such an effect on people.

    Never again will there be a King of Pop. Musical Genius.

    Rest in Peace.

    The jury believed he was innocent, I'm gonna take their word over anyone's here tbh.

    The last thing i wanted to try to do was change others opinion but I hope that even the most blinkered of MJ fans can see why people like myself and many others might have our doubts and respect our right to voice our opinions

    Glad to see people can pay their way out of court cases and then claim sure it was to avoid further trouble and then have it wiped from the slate. Not saying this about MJ in particular but for people in general.

    For a man of his wealth (at the time) it was probably easier and cheaper, in the grand scheme of things, to pay them off rather than go through the trial of proving his innocence. Which he later did in other trials anyway.

    I agree that he left himself open to these allegations by stupidly having kids over to stay but it was comprehensively proven that he did nothing worse than that, and its unfair to suggest that he did otherwise when he was put through a trial and proved otherwise.

    Its amazing that people will just want to BELIEVE that he was a paedophile in the face of hard evidence that he was not.

    And nothing you have seen or heard since makes you think that was wrong?

    He had a kids fair complete with big wheel in his garden for christsakes.

    I hate this being used as "evidence".

    So much for Yury's friendship.

    He's dead an hour or 2 and he is disclosing what he said under hypnosis.

    Jaysus, No wonder he can bend spoons.

    He could afford excellent lawyers too.

    When they don't work he could always throw money at the problem.

    From the criminal justice system that brought us the OJ Simpson case.

    Edit: Its important to separate the man from him music, which I'm not disputing was excellent.
