 I also found it ironic that he was sort of shunned before his death and was being hailed afterwards. But like others have stated in this topic, I think people are choosing to honor his memory by recognizing his musical achievements. Will I forget that Michael Jackson was accused of child molestation? No. But even though I'm not a fan of his music, I would have to agree he sold a lot of records and was a big part of music history.

 Well, I honestly do think he was kind of creepish, based on his looks, actions, beliefs/ideas, etc. No offense to any fans, they didnt do that to him.

But...why would anyone want to remember any dead person for the bad things they did rather than the good? MJ was a huge pop star, and he was a good performer as well. I'll admit that the Moonwalk is amazing, and his singing was okay, I guess.

Seeing the way his body changed from early fame to death is sort of...scary.

 Ever since he's died, it's like nothing has changed. Everyone still makes child molestation jokes.

Same everytime this sort of thing happens.

Jade Goody being one of the best examples.
Definitely.

Racist > Saint.

Michael Jackson...

Pedophile > Legend

...



Make your minds up people. Jumping on the bandwagon is not cool.

 People at my school have been happy that he died, even though some people didn't like him you shoulden't really want someone to die.

Also, thats the media for you, it always does things like that.

 I think he only admitted to sharing his bed, not any type of misconduct. That kid recanted his story, anyway, I think I read.
