come on guys i know you guys like his music, old or new,
im a fan, always was, i got just about all his albums,

I'm not trying to sound offensive here, but the last 2 decades or so, he just hasn't been all there, his actions are less than stellar, and methinks it's time for that old dog to be taken out behind the wood shed and Old Yeller'ed.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong

Sorry, never a fan, not even a little. Back in the day a true Rock n Roller would not be caught dead listening to his crap!

Well Truthfully, I always thought his music was good but like others his personality is definitley pushed to the edge. Alas, like Frank I blame the parental figures and his family.

Jackson's biggest problem was that he grew up in the limelight as the youngest member of the Jackson Five and didn't have the right kind of support structure to direct his development as he grew up. He is a talented artist, but then so was Adolph Hitler (painter). I'm not putting Jackson in Hitler's particular corner of demented and sick behavior, he's never exhibited that twisted darkness that Hitler did. I'd put Jackson more in the Howard Hughes area...very quirky, very troubled and obviously needing a great deal of supervision. As to his health...well I don't personally wish illness on anyone. Too much bad karma. I'm not a huge fan. He's had his share of toe-tappers and having grown up in his era, I'll still catch myself humming a tune that he performed twenty or more years ago.

I personally was a heavy-metal/rock country fan in my day. I've mellowed big time over the years. I can't stand the music I used to think I enjoyed. Getting old ain't easy!

Me, I am into Heavy metal then most music. But I do in fact like Jackson's music, and he just needed the proper rearing as a child but I dn't think he got that, now did he?

Exactly. I'm not knocking anyone who is a fan, everyone has different tastes. His music/dancing just ain't my thing.

This is what I feel about Justin Timberlake, Back street boys, Snoop Dog and so...

BTW, here you could read something about MJ.

I kinda grew up on him. My parents had Thriller, y'know? That was back when he was remotely normal. But hey, Latoya is prolly crazier and Janet doesn't seem to be all there in the head either. I've always dug MJ's dancing and most of the MTV singles (the ones that move, not the slow stuff). I'm sure Chris Tucker helped a bit making him popular again AND Weird Al in his own way. How could you not love Weird Al's FAT and not just laugh at the source material (Bad)?

Too true!!! Rush Hour was a perfect place to parody MJ - which Chris Tucker did Ohhh soooo Well!!! Weird Al is just a genius and his other MJ parodys are dead perfect!
