Michael Jackson Dead

[mazzatelli1000]

I get depressed everytime I watch a MJ clip now
Im not even that big a fan

 

[trainspotter]

Interesing tonight I heard that a social commentator expressed that Michael Jackson was a "recovering pariah". WTF does that mean exactly? Now that he is soon to be pushing up daisies does this mean that he has suddenly become socially acceptable because he is dead?

"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it." apologies to Shakespeare.

Prior to him shuffling off this mortal coil he was an outcast of the most profound. Known for his excess's and his penchant for small children (media words, not mine) this doyen of attraction of the radio waves failed to mobilise the generations that his music lyrics spoke of. "Free the children", is an apt desription of one of the last true icons of the music industry.

RIP Michael Jackson. May there never be another like you !

An interesting report about MJ's first molestation case: http://whoismichael.com/mary-fisher.htm

Don't mean, too much, to change the reflective mode of this thread but, I've just caught the tearful attempted speech of one of his kids given at the service. Gotta say, she looked like she was acting it up. There was no real emotion there.

I almost get the feeling she turned away at the last minute to hide laughter!



Thoughts?

I definately don't intend this to be an MJ bashing session, but it struck me.

have to disagree with you there kennas...here is a still shot....his daughter Paris was clearly distressed...might pay to watch it again...
apart from that...lots of pics of the kids over the years....and they appear quite happy normal looking kids to me (considering who their dad was )
.....ps I think the youngest is really cute....mirror image of his father....the eldest boy looks like him too...
considering MJ never fathered them (not his sperm)....but he was a father for them.....
likeness is a bit uncanny actually....
the girl resembles her real mother....

***the video of the girls speech is below the still

I doubt a kid that age could put it on, she was overcome by the moment though, had to speak in front of all those people, must have been horrid.

No reason why MJ couldnt have been the father, all he had to do was donate into a jar.

 

[Sean K]

I've watched it a few times and I'm still sus.

Maybe I have a bias.

Not sure why.

 

[kincella]

here is the link to the photos of the kids over the years....
and I 'think the sperm in the jar was more likely', the resemblance is too great...with the boys
do you have children of your own kennas ?

 

[Sean K]

do you have children of your own kennas ?

Not that I know of.

Sorry to put a dark light on this for the moment. I watched the TV recording of her speech and I just thought, wtf! Was just all wrong.

Anyway, lets move on....

I was all against Bindi Irwin doing her bit at her dad's service; she made her speech sound like a Monday morning talk at school. Not sure I really agree with children doing this at such a time, but maybe that's just me. If the kids want to say something, then as long as they fully understand what this means then they have the right. Maybe she just wanted to get up and shout to the world that she loved her Dad!. I think she was more aware of what his death meant for her than Bindi did.

Kennas, her face is contorted and if you look at the other people's faces they are also quite grim as they look at her. Dont think it was an act by any stretch.

[MrBurns]

I see Gavan Disney got off a molestation charge so it's a dead cert he's guilty right ?

Child at her age cannot fully act appropriately for occassion.
Pity her dad is gone thou.

Yep I agree

I heard she asked if she could say some words while she was there.
None of the kids were suppose to talk..

I agree Kincella, they are cute kids..

Lets hope the media leave them alone...

 

[kincella]

I am just grateful and happy to see the kids...he certainly kept them hidden...but he took them out into the world shopping etc...some normality in their little lives...see the pics ref on earlier post today......
the look like very normal kids...but god they will need to be protected, to keep the media and all the other curious people away....and let them grow up , as normal as can be in the circumstances....
I thought she was very brave....and I think she would have known that some thought her dad was queer....she stood up for him and said he was the best dad in the world...
oh and being prepared to do something...then actually doing it...can be very different...
I lost my youngest brother last year....and no matter who it is....when I have to say the words out loud, or tell another he is gone....I cannot help but falter, tears come...its an unbelievable sensation....you try to sound in control...I know people who are like this 20-30 years after the death of a loved one......human nature...
just reiterate...I am grateful...there are 3 beautiful kids...they look like him...it appears they were well looked after by family and nannies etc...hopefully the fans will help them recover.....fans showed massive support...kids are very young, but the older ones could not help but to see such a moving embrace and celebration of his life...and the little one looks like such a babe...
cheers

No doubt Robert M. Kaplan would argue he was, regardless of what any court says.

Michael not dead. Jackson 5 has reformed.

Oh dear. Maybe too soon for MJ jokes. Give it a couple more days.

You can say the world has been divided in recent days into people who wondered what the fuss was all about and people offended by the thought that anyone would wonder what the fuss was all about.
