Took Mrs. Cheesey to the opening last night. It was pretty amazing. The guy was 50 years old, and could move better then any of the "kids" dancing with him. And what a perfectionist. Every move on every song had to be just so.
He put 100% effort into every number.
Sad that he let drugs take his life away. Such a waste.

Especially for somebody with his body in the state that his was, it was just amazing how he could dance.

i really have no respect for him, dont tell me he didnt mylest those kids, and didnt he change his skin color? yes... why would he be ashamed of african american race, some of the best unsung war heros were/are African American

I won't, but I will tell you that he didn't molest them.

And I don't believe that he had a skin disease, but I don't think he wanted to change his skin color, either. I can imagine that, with all the (plastic) surgery he has had, it might've affected his skin pygment.

I guess you could call that a disease, though.

Can you really make that statement? With 100% confidence? I understand leaning one way or the other, but damn... He may not have had the mentality of a predator. He may have just been extremely troubled, but I find it very hard to believe that if you took some of the things he did, video recorded them, and had a normal every day joe doing them instead of Michael, that that person wouldn't have been locked up and probably beaten to death in prison.

Well, considering how he was treated as a kid, no doubt he didn't want to be black any more. He had his issues, but remind me again.. When exactly was he being charged for molesting kids? Before or after he became an international superstar? Hell, I even think he was accused AFTER he turned his yard into Neverland Ranch.

BTW, he never was convicted of molesting kids. Might wanna get some facts straight before you throw a person under the bus with a judgemental attitude.

I don't think he molested them. I DO think he used poor judgement, which got him in trouble.

I used to think he changed his color because he didn't want to be black. But now i think he DID have a skin pigment disease. So he decided to make his skin all ONE color, which i can understand.
I have seen black AND white people with that skin condition, and it's hard for them. They don't look "normal". So i can understand that if he had the ability to do something about it, which many people don't, that he would want to try to fix it.
I don't think he was ashamed of being black. Plus, arn't we supposed to accept each other? So why should we care what color ANYONES skin is?

I used to think alot of the bad things people say about him were true, but after watching him on TV, and reading about what his life was like, i'm not so sure he was the evil person some made him out to be.

I know. Normally, I would've said something like 'I think he didn't molest them', but this just fit so perfectly.

i don't really care either way. dude was a freak - thanks to mama n papa jackson.

And his brothers.

They screwed him over quite badly when he was a kid.
