"The kid is not my son" so all I do is "Beat it" be them "Black or white" I think "They dont really care about us", I think the publicity is "HIStory" It's not that "bad" now that I live on planet "Earthsong"...

If ever there was a case of too much money and too much time on your hands it's him. He's nuts.

I feel kind of sorry for the guy. He's like a kid that never grew up, and was always surounded by people who just told him what he wanted to hear. He was once one of the richest musicians on the block, and now he is more then 250 million dollars in depth (or so I have been told).

<font color=deepskyblue>According to a recent article I read on MSN, he is still worth approximately $300 million dollars...or so his accountants claim. That's not to shabby..but it IS a significant when you realize that - until the 1990's - he was worth well over $1 Billion!</font>

<font color=deepskyblue>It is also proven that the skin condition he suffers from does not bleach the skin evenly as Michael has done. It occurs on different areas of the body and creates an unattractive "splotchy" complexion. Michael tried to avoid this by bleaching his entire body. It worked, but whether the "treatment" looks any better than the disease is questionable.</font>

He said they tried to cover it up first with make-up, but it didn't work too well and it took a lot of time, so no wonder he decided to do that...

PS: The quotes look weird, sorry. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[QB] I think everyone should get the hell off his back. So he's a little eccentric - so what? It's understandable that he's not quite all there in the head, as he's been in the spotlight since he was a very young child and was treated badly by his parents. That's bound to affect him as he grows up.

<font color=deepskyblue>Tito, Jermaine, Janet, Latoya, and the rest of the Jackson clan grew up in the same environment, but have not reacted the way Michael has. Perhaps because the spotlight WAS always primarily on him. Janet is the only one that established any type of career outside of Brother Michael's shadow.</font>
</font>[/QUOTE]AFAIK Latoya has had many problems with drugs and substance abuse problems. We also don't know exactly what problems the others have had, only that they are not as obvious and public as Michael's problems have been. Something interesting I noticed in a magazine picture a while ago - Latoya's nose is exactly the same shape as Michael's is NOW :eek:

He's a kid. All he wants to be is a kid, to be like Peter Pan.
I would imagine that growing up the way he did, certainly had a negative impact on his life. He was never allowed to do things that regular kids do, never allowed to play, his father was very abusive and he was under a lot of pressure at too young of an age.

The fact that he's acting like a child now indicates he never had the opportunity when the rest of us did. Growing up, he had very bad acne which his father used to tease and ridicule him about. Can you imagine? And we wonder why he wants to change his appearance

Now, Jackson's got enough money do do as he pleases, and he's doing so but all that fame and fortune has brought the spotlight. I'm sure that many people are as troubled as Michael Jackson and with good reason, but they don't have billions of dollars, and they're not a public figure.

He's 80's music was brilliant, the moonwalk was a phenom so you can'd deny his success or his popularity. Everyone has listend to a Jackson song at one point or another, and he's got the money to prove it.

The only reason the people call him weird is because their pissed that he's got more money and success than most could ever dream of, nevermind possess.
