Were You Once A Fan And Now You're Not?

Even though I am still a fan and trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. I have never understood why he had to be around little boys so much either. Not only that, with the second charges, he had three children of his own. I do not understand why he would want to have other children over and spend so much time with them when he has children of his own. I mean, what were his children doing when he played with the older boys that accused him of molestation? I have a million questions about the whole thing that just do not make any sense at all. If it were not true, why did the first boy not speak up and defend Michael? That kid is grown now. I would have spoke up and said, my parents were lying to get money and Michael never did anything to me. If it was a lie, surely he feels bad about it. I watched the first time very closely and it just didn't make any sense for Michael to get wrapped up in something like that again. Then he claims that he left the country because we, his fans, were not treating him right. I guess he figured that he was so great that we would love him no matter what he did. People tend to get a little fickle when you start speaking of child abuse. All I know is if I had a son, I would not feel comfortable with him being anywhere near Michael.

I totally agee that he used that place to prey on children. We all know that there are gigantic holes in the stories and a lot of things that just don't make sense. Another thing, if he were innocent, why did he pay that first kid, like twenty million dollars. I understand his fear of going to court, but I would have had to go the first time and put the rumors to reat. People who are innocent are anxious to clear their names. He may have a lot of money, but he is not that rich. Twenty million dollars is a lot of cabbage.

There are alot of questions that have never been answered. I also followed all the news reportings that came out with the trials and it never made sense to me either. Why were the boys invited to stay in his room while the parents were given rooms at the other end of the house? Why was the hallway outside his room the ONLY place in the house to have a security camera and one that could be viewed from inside his own room? Why was no one except him allowed to have the access code to his bedroom door(even the maids and security didn't have it)? Why after he was accused once and it was settled did he go back and again put himself in that position? I don't believe that he left the country b/c he felt shunned or unappreciated by his fans...I believe he left the country b/c he wanted to go somewhere where the laws were more lax and ppl weren't watching him all the time. I think Neverland was built as a kid magnet to get more kids to come to his house...kind of a hunting ground, it seems. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I think that Michael Jackson should retire. He is my favorite singer, but I think that he needs to focus on raising his children, so that they can have as normal a life as possible. If that is possible. I remember when that happened with the Dixie Chicks. I do not know why some artist risk their careers to make a political statement, but I guess it means that much to them. I do not know what might come out of my mouth if I had a national platform. I do enough damage here on Mylot, LOL.

Nah, I think you're a breath of fresh air here on mylot.

Oh alright, that's cool.

I use to be a fan of Madonna also. I have not heard any of her new music. The last song that I heard from her was "Take A Bow." That song is beautiful.

You make it sound eerie, like a cult and something and it very well might be. I do not know much about that religion. I do know that you have to be rich and give a lot of money. I have been hearing a lot about Mr. Tom Cruise lately and it has not been anything like, oh he sure is fine. Isn't he the one who throws those tantrums on Oprah Winfrey's couch? Nothing a little Ritalin couldn't fix, LOL. He is a cutie pie though. But you say that Katie Holmes appears to be just one of his groupies, that's sad.

I do not think that I have ever stopped liking an entertainer for something that happened in their personal life. I never know the whole story anyway. I am still a fan of Janet. From what I know of her, I really like her as a person, but I have just outgrown her music.
