Quote OspreyGirl: ^So, I'm going to walk away from that, it's not worth it, and I'm in no mood for the drama...(OspreyGirl sitting on hands...lol...)

In other news, has anyone seen Jermaine's interview with Matt Lauer? It was so heartbreaking seeing him describe how he heard the news from his mom, how the kids went in to see Michael, etc.

Can you guys believe it's been a week? Still in shock, but slowly coming to terms with the reality of it all.

Quote wannazach:

I can't imagine what it would have been like to have had to take those kids in to see their daddy like that. They have to be hurting so much. They are old enough now to realize just what has happened and that he is gone.

Quote francisfarmerpostlob:

Glad someone is coming back to reality. MJ was never quite into that. Did you see the interview where he talked about the birth of his second child? Where he said as soon as the child was born he wrapped it in a blanket and ran out of the hospital with it, and when he got home he cleaned off the placenta. When the interviewer asked him was that allowed he said the doctors said it was okay. LOL! MJ lived in a fantasy world where whatever he thought up was truth, and people were objects and playthings...including his children, ie dangling an infant over a balcony.

Quote princesschyrstin:

Okay and the point is those are his kids I don't judge anyones parenting skills. As long as the kids didn't get hurt he can do whatever its nobodies place to judge peoples parenting skills. Also Michael was a genius and but there is a fine line between genius and insanity. I believe he is proof of that but also I don't think he recovered from the allegations of abuse he was very passionate about children and I know those allegations broke his heart! I don't understand how he lived in a fantasy world when he faced those charges. I don't believe the dying children he helped were in his fantasy world. I agree the Michael was a little crazy but in the end he was a good person.

Quote francisfarmerpostlob:

IMO Albert Einstein was a genius. Yeah MJ made some changes in the pop music arena( I don't believe he cured any dying children though)...whoo hooo! If writing insipid pop lyrics, and snythn pop falls into your column of genius...

Quote sarahconnor:

i can respect that you do not care for Michael Jackson or do believe he is guilty. everyone has an opinion on that. mine is that with the first case, i truly have no idea. there is still a gag order (per the insider today) that does not allow the first accuser to speak of the case. the 2nd case was admitted to be fraud. and that was from 2005. the boy admitted MJ never touched him. he and his mother accussed jackson of trapping them at neverland..many things. there are lots of links in regards to that story. i have even posted them in various places. since MJ was acquitted i choose to remember the good things about him. if a child was molested then that is horrible and not anything to be excused but since there was no prosecution, there is no proof of that. i will say jackson used bad judgement in even having kids in close quarters with him after the first accussation. it's no doubt that he did not always use good judgment and was a bit off. as someone who was very troubled, this surfaced alot with him.

as for genius, there are many types of genius. not just that of which albert einstein was. genius of math, art, anything...in my eyes he was a true genius of dance..i've never seen anyone move like him during his best years. he was a great songwriter, choreographer (he did triller, many others) - singer & dancer. i think he revolutionized pop to what it is today. he was a very heavy influence regardless of what anyone's opinion is.

also MJ was a top donator for many organizations. he may not have cured anyone but he probably helped many get the help they needed. it was said he gave well over 300 million for many causes.

Quote sarahconnor: wow that is awesome to know wanna. i am a true fan of his until the end. love Michael Jackson. his death still doesn't even seem real to me. did you see the link i sent of the video that had a collection of his dance moves? i love that video...it doesn't hold candle to everything he did but it just reminds me of his incredible talent. i've been watching videos for days now.

Quote OspreyGirl: I just heard that Larry King was close to the defense attorneys from the 2005 case and learned that the boy's mother was lying about the molestation...Larry couldn't testify because it would have been considered hearsay...WOW!

If I heard this back then, I didn't remember, but this is really interesting...more and more stuff is coming to light.

Quote wannazach:

There is a lot of things coming out now about the injustice that was done to Michael. Larry King has done at least 2 entire shows this past week about Michael. He knows that he is innocent and he said as much. It is way to late but now I hope the eyes of the accusers are open to the truth.

Quote rei1:

The injustice that was done to the children ...ohh thats right because Larry King said it wasn't done makes that all OK!!!!

OOPs sorry to all the MJ fans he is a Hero !! no matter who he innocently ( Oh no not Micheal) took adcvantage of!

Since Larry said he was innocent...we all will just rest in peace knowing that MJ paid 22 million to get this all off his chest....poor Michael had to deal with all the mis apropriatness...he thought it was normal to sleep with young boys.....and shame on us to see any of this as inappropriate...

Quote ilovemedanes: The people who accused him would never recant because now they could be prosecuted. If MJ was so innocent why would he (MJ) settle out of court so many times?
