Was Michael a musical genius or a manchild who was robbed of his childhood or was he a misunderstood but incredibly talented person?

He was cute as a child but I don't have a clue as to what happened to him when he became and adult.

All of the above.

A lot has been said and written about MJ's lack of childhood; I think Jackson craved success as much as he shunned it. I doubt he would have been half the performer he was if his family hadn't started the Jackson Five when he was a child.

I saw his last concert on DVD (the one filmed just before he died) and I didn't see a weary performer, tired of music and of life. I saw an exceptionally driven and confident musician who cared a great deal about every detail of his performance. Even though it was only rehearsals, everything was performance tempo.

He certainly was misunderstood but I don't see him as a tragic figure; he had his share of tough times, but he had a pretty amazing life too.

I made this forum and I agree Michael Jackson was very talented. Some of these musicians around today could not hold a candle to Michael. I do not think performers such as Justin Bieber will be around 10 or 20 years from now.I would like to hear what people think if Justin will be around 10 or 20 years from now.

Faithe: Yes he was all of the above and sadly a product of his upbringing at his fathers hands. As far as children not being safe around him goes. He was never convicted of any crime...for me.. innocent until proven guilty. JMHO also....


Maybe so, but I think any 30 or 40 year old man that enjoys sleeping in the bed with little boys is strange. confused dunno

We already know the truth, he paid one of his victims off in a civil suit, not because he was "innocent," but because he knew what would happen if the kids story ever got out.

he was a kiddy fiddler flat out.barf
