The media!
They will watch you go up-
But they will love to tear you down.
The media no longer has,or had for a very long time, any reason to be reasonable or accurate.
"THEY", are the whores!
The media lies,cheats,twists,and manipulates. They take others lies and make it sound more sensationalistic!
They are shit!

Despite his foibles, he was a brilliant performer and this is what will be remembered throughout history.
He eclipsed the best and greatest that came before him and we will not likely to see anything close to his ability in our lifetime.

Next to ELVIS,(not even the BEATLES),not one performer could sell more tickets. No, not even Sinatra..

I hear that he fell over a child's pram ,
the Police are investigating but say it is too early to blame it on the buggy .

1993: The family of 11-year-old Jordy Chandler accuse Jackson of molesting their son. The star categorically denies the charges, but Los Angeles police raid his home while he is on tour in the Far East. He later comes to an out-of-court settlement with the family for an estimated $20m.

What possible reason would Jacko have to settle out-of-court?

Do most people here only listen to music made by people they "approve" of ? On this basis the number of great artists we would listen to, read or watch who hadn't had chequered personal lives or obnoxious views would be very small indeed.

Yeah, I'm still rocking away to Gary Glitter here.......

My dislike of formulated, over-produced, over-hyped & hyper-commercial music is related to my opinion of Jacko.

More to the point why would the parents agree to settle out of court?

If it was true then surely you'd want a conviction.
If it wasn't then the parents should have been prosecuted for prostituting their son.

I think Jacko's motives in this are most poignant.

Maybe the parents didn't think JC could cope with the trauma of reliving the abuse in court.

Would anyone have been prepared to leave their child in the care of Jacko?
