Sorry, Link, I'm with Charlie on this one. However brilliant a musician he might have been at one time (and I, for one, do not agree with this) being a pedophile is not something one simply overlooks. He has been able to buy off all accusers, but that doesn't mean he is innocent.

I'm not saying he isn't pedophile. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. He is kinda whacky, but who knows how that happened? His father? Paparazzi? We all know what happened to Lady Di when paparazzi were after her, so it could as well be them. And I wonder if I would be able to keep my sanity if my life would be followed as closely as it was with him.

Tortured childhoods? There are millions and billions of people that have had tortured childhoods. Many many far worse than MJ. I like to think that those that suffered know what it is to suffer, subsequently they do not make others suffer. Money and power are the corrupters sometimes. I feel sorry for MJ, I honestly do. I feel sorrier for for the undefended, the ones that may suffer and beget suffering in the years to come.

Yeah but you gotta remember you can write off money you give to charities on your taxes. Just because he (and this goes for many celebs) donates to charities doesn't mean he cares, probably did it to make himself look good, plus with the money he has, it's like you or me tossing a dime to a homeless man, no skin off his nose (No pun intended! I think! doh! )

Ya, hes not "pure evil", but IS somewhat evil. In my opinion, that outways any good he may or will portray. Sleeping with children? Come on! If this guy didnt have money, he would be in jail or an asylum!

Hmm, maybe I should have put some spoiler tags in the initial post... Oh well.
By the way, I believe the FBI has already requested the English channel who did the interview to give them copies of the original tapes, which will be used for the investigation into Michael Jackson's private life, to find out if he could be prosecuted for these remarks.

It's a shame people call him MJ. I know another one, and he's defenitely NOT from that level.
