Being a legal buff and a law student, I followed his trial on Court TV. I think that poor childlike man is a natural target for grifters due to his unusual behavior. The newpapers tend to report the sensational news, but if you look at the details you see something else completely.

no thankyou

I try very hard not to think about him any more than I would OJ Simpson. They BOTH got enough exposure and press and I was pretty much forced to read and hear about them for MUCH TOO LONG at the time during their trials. And it continues... I tune it out now.

I believe he is a freak of nature, and has made one wrong decision after another. I dont know what he is guilty of in the eyes of the law, but the more he continued that so called childish behavior, the bigger risks he took. Now, look where it got him?

A very sorry tale, but also an excellent example of why we must be balanced people, operating from the centre of ourselves, before we can know true success and happiness.

It is a very sad story, for all concerned, even Jackson. I am just sorry the jury decided he did not need at least to be evaluated or somehow counseled in some way. There seemed to be alot of evidence. I am sorry people decided to take out of court money instead of testify against him.

children abuse or simply abuse *EDIT* simply, replaced nose and operations

Well, very few things 'come', I can tell you that.

A sad situation. He left serving Jehovah and has gotten into a lot of trouble. Another childhood celebrity gone bad.

SADNESS. I just do not want to say about the nasty allegations I think the major word sadness is for all concerned Not a name we hear much lately. . Very talented singer great dancer.A very troubled and disturbed individual. Things look so bad but are they all true. I do not know. ( I am not a particular Jackson fan so am not doing a defensive whitewash).I just feel very sad

I think he's an amazing singer. and has earnd the name ''king of pop'' and also that he was innocent. (=

The Smooth Criminal video.

The unfortunate attorney in town with the same name.

The king of pop!

mhm alot of things..he was a great man,wanting to heal the world,wanting to help..i think without michael jackson the world wouldnt be as it is today..he helped alot of people, and its no wonder he is the king of pop..but as great as he was for us,he was lonely..he didnt had the greatest childhood.with his father teasing him about his looks..and he had problems..he wasnt happy with the way he looked, and so he tryed to change it, but it didnt went as he had hoped..today people judge him, without even knowing the truth, just what the tabloids write about him... i have alot of respect for michael jackson,wether he did ore didnt do..

Plastic surgery gone horribly wrong.

One of the greatest pop idols of all time

A sad little puppet, made to dance and sing.

The Jackson Five!!

Man without a face Skin bleaching Awesome dancer Should've stopped singing while he was on top; he's washed up musically. All he has left is choreography.

I think of southpark episode 807 "The Jeffersons" And yeah that kid that got killed was kenny.

Recycled plastic

Thriller

Cancelled concerts.

he looks like he could be the emo master.lol he looks goth and all the white painted goth kids look they could be his children.WEIRDOS!!

Freak show.

I wonder if he actually still has a face? He has been so horribly butchered, it's really tragic.

D*ckhead !

Training wheels,dolls,hotwheels and the ut-oh feeling.

NOSE!

Amazing artist/peformer.

I think of what he once was, and what he could have contributed had his talent be nurtured instead of exploided. He overspent his value in the media, took credit when none was due and let what was due go to his head. His life path has been full of greed, money hungry "yes sayers" (including the plastic surgeons!), ignorant behavior, no boundaries, and excessive material trash to impress those without. He plays to the innocence of children, for his own sick pleasures, and likes telling of a traumatic childhood, where he was teased, slighted, and abused by a parent. He is immature, with a phony, patronizing personality, and is not genuinely appreciative as he likes to pretend. Those childish costumes or "entertainment uniforms" he wears are boring and pretty stupid after all these years. As are the rude, and extra dark Hollywood "star" glasses he wears everywhere! He lost stardom status and the right to be "all that" over a decade ago. He used to thrill us with his music and dance moves, but it's all "canned" sound now, and his feet are laughable today! Any 3 year old could out-dance him anyday! He's allowed to be responsible for the care of 3 young children somehow, though he has no home anymore. He claims to love everyone, but didn't care enough about the staff he left at NeverLand, the animals or their caretakers. They didn't get paychecks until after Christmas 2005, after almost a year of delays. There wasn't any money to pay the bills, or keep the animals fed and healthy. Even the electricity was turned off a few times there. This while Michael Jackson is traveling out of the country, living in expensive hotels (on tab) or living off rich benefactors, or so-called friends. His current debt owed is over 400 million dollars, but he keeps living the lie of the high life! I'll never understand how people are so willing to accept him sleeping with children as okay. He says he would never hurt a child, but that doesn't mean he didn't do anything! It only means he does not accept or believe what he's doing to the children is abusive or inappropriate! Ignorance of the law is not an excuse to break it! He told Ed Bradley ("60 Minutes") he had no plans to change his ways of allowing children in his bed. This after he'd paid millions to a boy accusing him of abuse! When the 2nd boy came forward, it's horribly unfortunate, his Mother happened to be a greedy bitch, further ruining this young boy's life. So MJ gets off, but he's Not Guilty and NOT INNOCENT. Same as OJ Simpson not being innocent, only MJ is killing his victims slowly! http://anomalies-unlimited.com/Jackson.html

Billy Jean is not my lover She's just some girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son

Strange plastic surgery

KIDS LOTS OF THEM RUNNING AND SCREAMING AROUND "PLAYING" WITH UNCLE JACKSON.

freak show but good music

Tragic talent.

his nose is gunna fall off! micheal sings it dont matter if your black or white but then he goes and gets surgery and he aint "black" anymore now is he...

I am so confused by everything that has gone on with him that I in all honesty cannot tell you what I believe about him. I believe he wants to be a kid forever and have a hard time seeing him as a pedophile but he did put himself in the positions to have fingers pointed at him in such ways having had little boys stay over and no girls. Ugh. Clueless is my thoughts on Mr Jackson.

He has never matured.

No word, just *shudder*. Then forms, and the choices you are given: Male Female Other Michael Jackson

Two things: 1) Thriller 2) Having to cover up his picture in the "What's Going On" column in my 6th grade yearbook

Pedophile, Thriller, Moon walk, skin change

PEDOPHILE; MOLESTER OF CHILDREN

thriller, the video. vincent price, i loved vincent price.

eeeeeeewwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!

his nose....and after that thriller.

The King of Pop. really great artist.

Dancer. What an extraordinary talent he was.

I would think, what did he do now????

Asshole

What Happened?????

A sad story of a person with so much potential turned into a freak show because he thought he would be better if he was "whiter". Of course I'm sure so much of his lack of self esteem as the person he used to be was brought on by his father-from all the accounts I heard anyway.

Child molestation.

a nose for everyday of the week.

creepy...brrrr

Don't dink with your looks. Save plastic surgery for a deforming accident, don't make it the cause of your deformation.

a baby dangling from a balcony.

Nothing, I have ignored him for years.

He/she/it is a creepy asshole.

Oddly fascinating space cadet

Michael Ray "Mike" Jackson (born December 22, 1964 Houston, Texas) was a relief pitcher in Major League Baseball for 17 seasons. He began his career in 1986. He has played with the Philadelphia Phillies, San Francisco Giants, Cincinnati Reds and Houston Astros all of the National League and the Seattle Mariners, Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox all of the American League.

I like his music, but his personal life worries me.

Not much.

He will never be as good as he was on thiller and her should stop trying. He will never get that back.

He's a creepy boy chaser.

I like his music and all, but he is one weird man.

He has severe psychiatric problems. What he has done to his face is nothing less than what cutters do to their arms and legs: a cry for help. In his case,sadly, it went unheard. Now he is repeating the pattern of abuse with the next generation. And still no one is listening. And his family is in denial.

I never cared for his music. I don't know him as person but it appears that he would benefit from therapy and medication.

I thought he was a cute kid, very talented. THen I thought he was a little weird but coud really carft fine songs. Now I'm just amazed at how one person can get so wacko and distorted.

I think he should be doing the Moonwalk behind a few iron bars because I personaly beleive he ought to of been arrested.

I like his music. But i don't what his state of mind is. he seems to be kinda out of this world right now.

Sick weirdo.

Pity......what a waste

A case of the present overshadowing the popularity of a life past.

Michael Jackson's nose.

Cause I'm bad! I'm bad! I'm really really bad!

Wacko Jacko....I read that name or description in a tabloid.

I love michael J and i do beleive he is stuck in a childs mind....i'd like to think he's not what people think...and does produce great music...thing is we will never know...i also think that people are to quick to judge him considering his non existent youth!

Musically: Talented and revolutionary, In his best years, everything he touched turned to gold (Make your own joke here). His music definitely marked an era. His musical quality has dropped considerably in recent years. I'll stop there... Non-musical issues have already oversaturated the media.

id'd say that micheal jackson has alot going for him, i mean all he is shooting for now is to stay in the spotlight, which people seem to love to have him in. i think he is very unfortunate to have all the alligations agianst him. but liten im no detective and i havent brushed up on my micheal jackson facts, so i dont know if he really is a child melestor or not. but i know if he is, hes not very sneaky

Loved him on the Simpsons - John Jay Smith, lol.

I think that Michael Jackson is a great singer and everything that I have read up on him, he is a good person and has influenced all the singers that you people listen to today such as Mariah Carey, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown and tonnes more. And I just want people to realize that if you put all of the allergations away then you will see that he is a good person and a great singer.

He's like a pedophile version of Richard Simmons.

He's a sick pedophile who should be confined. If he were not rich he would be in jail now. The law should apply to all equally, regardless of financial status. It is sad that he is so warped because of what was done to him and expected of him but he is what he is and measures should be taken to see that he has no contact with children. As long as he is free and rich this can not happen.

Disgust

Thriller

Bad

All the reasons I shouldn't get rhinoplasty.

BEAT IT, JUST BEAT IT. Billy jean, Thriller, moon walk, white glove, A very sad waste of talent and life.
