We are all saddened by the news that Michael Jackson passed away yesterday. My whole block has been playing various songs of his in tribute of his life and to mourn his death and I will even dedicate a full 30 minutes to mixing up an improvised Michael Jackson medley to honor his achievements in music. You know, his old music because let’s face it… he hasn’t done anything good musically in the last 15 years.
On a personal level we can all agree that Michael was one messed up human being regardless if he was a pedophile or not. We can also agree that he had major issues with himself and had a very weird way of dealing with things… regardless if he slept in an oxygen chamber or not.
But let me tell you why he’s probably cursing you out right now. Where the hell have you been with all your praise and adoration of this man? I’ll be honest, the only thing I liked about him was his music and I separated that from the person. People whoever tend to put him next to godliness and divinity and I wonder where you’ve been during these passed what… 15-20 years when his life has slowly plummeted to the bottom? Where was your praise and adoration then?
From holding “his” infant child outside the window to losing all his possessions and money due to various scandals, I haven’t seen anyone of these millions of people standing up for him. If you were like me and only liked his musical achievements I understand why you didn’t care but the math simply does not add up.
Your lame attempts to honor this man after his death is nothing short of a psychological masturbation. Michael Jackson needed your support when he was alive, he does not need it in death. Let’s face it, all this hoopla and chest pounding is simply a way for you to ease your mind from the realization that even pop icons and kings die but hopefully you will now finally understand that death comes after us all so stop wasting your time and give praise, show adoration, support and love to the ones your heart goes out to because in death, a bleeding heart means nothing.

First off I’d like to say that HIS TRUE FANS have always been supporting MJ through the bad times, because they recognised the human side of him. THe amount of people who love and support MJ is unbelievable. You just were blind to see that because of the negative media coverage and the innate human reaction of such news. Everyone wants to feel better of themselves by ridculing each other. I agree that musically he slowed down in the last decade but the man was going through some difficult times. I am just disgusted to see that you claim not even ONE person has stood up for the man. Did you not follow the trails on TV at all?? Seconly, when music is involved one should look past the person and more on the emotions the music invokes in oneself. ‘Nuff said.
I doubt that the hordes of people facebooking the shit out of him right now in praise and adoration, are people who supported him or even gave a crap. Point being, people should be held in the esteem they are held in dead, when they are alive. I would think Michael Jackson felt betrayed by the world and the media. So to see media now going all “The greatest that ever was”… it makes me want to vomit in their breakfast cereal.

And I’m a true fan.. 
) Stood by him since I can remember! Never stopped listening to his music, never! Even though he didn’t make anything like he startet out with.. still, I’m listening to it.. not because I have to, but because I honestly like his music…and his dancemoves, and most of all, his incredible talent! And I don’t believe I’m the only one..
I felt sorry for the man and I fucking hated the media for not writing anything nice about him…
And honestly, I don’t believe he was a pedophile.. he’s just not what “normal” people would call “normal”, but that will forever be an unanswered question. We’ll never know. But we can believe, and I believe he was a good man, with some huge mental problems….unfortunately!
So, please keep my cereal out of this )
Right, Emil I know you probably won’t read this, since its an old post and whatnot, but regardless I’m gonna adress it to you, if not for your reading pleasure then for my own selfish psychological masturbation needs.
What happened to you man? I to this day remember you as that sweet loving kid that used to love & idolize Michael Jackson, not only for his music, mind you, but the persona of Michael Jackson – Hell I remember you taking home an extra issue of Kamrat posten back in what was it? 4:the grade? Just so you could cut out his picture from the magazine, I remember you practicing writing his autograph and doing his pattented spin-to-toe-stance. Hell, you even tried to teach me how to do the moonwalk for petes sake!
You used to idolize him, and not only for the sake of his music. And looking back at the pre-scandal era, I think that we both saw something incredibly good in him, if it was just the way he/media wanted to portray him or not is open to discussion, but at the same time irrelevant. I guess that the point I’m trying to make is that MJ the man became something bigger than just a pop star, he became an icon for love, compassion, empathy for those in need and well…just…good I guess. And to see that you want to distance the man from the music kind of implies that you want to distance yourself from that side of him…
On a side note, you were the one to first tell me about the oxygen tank to begin with, and just to set the record straight, MJ was looking at buyin hospital equipment for burn victims when that photo was taken and then the article made up. He was asked to lay down in it by the owner of the company, he never slept in ‘em…don’t know why I threw that in there, just want to set the record straight I guess.
Anyway, thank you for the media comments, I think it was distaseful to say the least, especially after all that they’ve put him through throughout the years. I think it merited some media coverage, but not monthes of it.
I am greatful for the initial houres of covarage along with his funeral though, since for me at least, it gave me a chance to say good bye to someone that had a great deal of influence on my childhood, who I am today and some of my core values. And I dare you to think back on Aril standing by the keyboard playing MJ songs, Ramsin dancing at your birthday party and you standing on your toes yelling “hoooooooo!!!” right outside of your old primary school and not say the same thing.
So what happened Emil? You didn’t use to want to seperate the man from the music, so what made you change? Why did you stop caring?
I love you Michael, and you too Emil, in the same way no less, a deep profound respect for the ideals you say you stand for.
Don’t worry, I read it… and strongly disagreed with it. You’re talking about opinions and fascinations of a child and compare that with a grown man and still you ask the question what happened? Well, then I’m afraid I can’t explain it better than “I stopped believing in Santa a long, long time ago”. I wish you all the best, who ever you are.
