What Do You Think Of Michael Jackson?

Inocent or guilty?
There’s no denying that he looks weird, but is he really capable of molesting a child?
Could this simply be an attempt to exploit his wealth, and damage what’s left of his reputation in the process?
My belief is that he is not guilty. Having said that, I also believe he’s a seriously misguided person, having been surrounded by “yes” men for most of his life, and I think that his own children will suffer as a consequence. What is the point in covering them in shrouds and masks? And as for that balcony incident... I don’t think he intended to harm the baby, but his emotions seem completely out of control at times.
Whatever the outcome, I’ve always liked much of his music (in which alot of his passions are expressed), and I always will.
What do you think???

well I am no judge to decide if he did or didn’t do what they say, neither to judge those who claim he molested their children.. either way, I don’t like him. Actually I feel sorry and a huge pity for him, one of those cases that say that money doesn’t make you happier.
Re. his music: liked some of his tracks, specially older ones.. but I don’t think he deserves the “king of pop” name...

Its impossible for any of us to judge....not sure if he is a child molestor, but even if he is not, i think his obsession with all things child-like is a little disturbing. I am not sure, i think he maybe guilty, he is obviously seriously disturbed either way.
I too, like Judith, feel pity for him. He has never had the chance to develop a normal life. The sad thing is, his children are also never going to have that chance from what it looks like.

I think Michael has a very distorted view of reality.

When an accusation flies once, you tend to believe in the accused. “He didn’t do it.” and so on. A second time, you still lean towards the same thought, because you think that someone followed the first case and figured this is an easy way to make a few bucks.
But repeated accusations? There’s something wrong in my book about that.

I agree with Setmefreeforever.....his view of reality may be distorted a bit.....but i do think he has a good heart though.
I really hope he didn’t do what he is being accused of. He has some good music.
He may actually be more popular in Europe.
I’ve seen footage of him performing in Europe and the fans are just going berserk! (crazy) :-0

A little side note......sometimes my OWN view of reality is distorted as well...........so who am i to judge...lol. Hope he didn’t do it though.

Just a question; who are we to say that MJ has distorted view of reality?

innocent, i don’t think he would do that (even though he is a little odd) but you never know what’s gonna happen with the evidence they have.

Innocent until proven guilty. howver I do believe that he is innocent of these charges.
ncurran said on September 23, 2004 14:08:
of course i also believe in innocent until proven guilty, but at the same time that assumes that someone can receive a fair trial. I’m not sure I trust the justice system in america when it comes to such a high profile case such as this, look what happened with the OJ simpson trial. The truth is i dont know if he is guilty or not. I hope he isnt, but mud sticks, and so many of these accusations have happened against him now, that its impossible not to have doubts about his innocence.

i just read he is going to be putting out a 4 or 6 disc boxed set out by x mas

Innocent, of course!
I highly doubt that he ever really developed to become a “sexual human being”.
Anyway, he’s fab - his songs rock!
