R.I.P to the ETERNAL King of Pop.

Looking at his appearance and the way he acted, he come across very camp, I'd be surprised if he wasn't homosexual,even his physique was very feminine.

Another thing with him, he seemed to look more like a women the older he got, if you see vids of him in the Jackson 5 he looked like a regular black guy, then in the 80's he turned into a camp black guy, and then in the 90's he looked more like a white women. He had a skin disease which turned him white apparently, but the surgery ruined his face.

I just it somewhere that I cannot now recall. I can see some similarities between him and Asperger's, but I never really felt that he did/does. I don't think that he was homosexual at all though, but he DID have a skin problem due to the surgery which messed him up. He developed something called Lupus, where the person's immune system thinks that the person's own DNA is a pathogen/foreign entity. it therefore destroys it (the DNA molecule) in tissue cells.

He looked wierd, but he invented music videos. I just love how all the news stations that mocked in at one point or another are now doing specific programs dedicated to honouring him. How can they say hes all these horrible things, then call him a hero? Also, funny thing, in the last week, over all media (internet, computer, radio) he has been more popular than he EVER was in his career, and is making so much money its not even funny, to bad hes dead and can't use any of it.. pay day for his relatives though.

It´s curious! I used to cope with listening Reggeaton from the cars crossing my avenue, but now they play Michael Jackson´s music. I wondering if could it be our eternal afraid of death?

The only tracks that I genuinely enjoy listening to are Earth Song, Heal the World, and Black or White. He was definately overrated, maybe because of the other stuff he did alongside his music. I would have loved to have actually talked to him though... ...maybe try to knock some sense into him.

I think all pop music is overated. But no one can deny that he was the most influential pop artist of all times.Of course, some of the most underatted musicians also happen to be amongst the most talented. Pop music is mainly about sales.

He revolutionized race relations in the United States of America, which impacted race relations in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world.
His music sales made it impossibloe for the racist music industry to ignore his contribution- he conqured the world through his songs, wild costumes and great disco beat.
He had vitaligo, which is an auto-immune skin disease, where his colour cells were attacked by hnis immune system. He changed his face, because he wanted to remove the face of his abusive father from his mirror- he wanted to take on the face of people he loved, and it was not his cruel father's face.
May he rest in peace- he lived a truely tormented life, and should provide a study model of the negative effects of parental CHILD ABUSE, can have devestating effetcs and can even lead to early death . His own father's abuse tormented him throughout his life and that is a lesson for us all to never abuse young childern.

He was a beutiful person, whose life was tormented by the evil monster who was to be his father and protector .

Nobody knows his father personally so lets not be calling him a monster. His son's just died, he's an old man, let's cut him some slack.

Yeah MJ may have had problems in life, but we all do, he's also experienced things in his life must of us will never have the privilege of, due to his wealthy life.

And if he did abuse children then that was his choice, you can't blame his father, I'm sure his father never would have wanted that.

It's amazing what is happening here, morning star: Each time you reply, a new part of my true opinion of Michael Jackson is revealed. Firstly, you made me realise that his songs arent really that great (amongst other stuff about him), but now you've made me see that I'm actually quite angry with the way that he lived his life. Plus, if I was black, Id' be enraged that he changed his skin colour.

I wonder how many people would actually jump at the opportunity to be as famous and rich like Michael Jackson was. Some people are elevated to the demigod status only after they're dead. Michael was famous when alive but he's now an idol in death. Maybe when one dies, people get to overlook their weaknesses/mistakes because death becomes a greater foe and the victim, no matter who he is, becomes a friend. Not many people have the guts (nor the will) to speak ill of the dead. But I think it's hypocritical that the same media that was so vocal about the failings in Michael's life is now singing praises about him.

There´s one thing we can deny. I have seen few threads that has such a transcendency.
