Acquitted the second time around, and bought his way out with $22M the first time around. However, I will concede he was never found guilty, so my comment is speculation and nothing more.
girlfriend's brother bought two tickets for £50 each (would have been worth about 20 years when he was in his prime ie no plastic surgery etc)
If I wanted to pay a Paedophile lots of money for him to grab his cock and shriek at me I could get it done for a lot cheaper than Jackson is offering.
You know he was found innocent right on peadophillia charges? Even I have been scepticle about his innocence but theres a quote he said which sums up peoples mentality towards him: Pretty much sums up peoples attitudes towards him because hes different. His surgery was due to injuries, yes even his nose but hell the press wont mention that would they? Remember the one about him sleeping in a hyperbolic time chamber? the press released a pic and branded him crazy - Never mind it was simply a shot from a movie he was working on. He is a great artist and has done more for charities through donations and concerts, than many generations of people have ever done. He alone inspired so much of whats out there alone, many musical artists shaped their careers on his. So we could be ignorant and believe what the tabloids say or believe that yes he has done a few silly things but the facts say hes a great artist and person in general.
QFT So many people hop on the bandwagon and follow the mediahype around MJ. Yet he still remains a legend, no matter how you turn or twist the mans lifestory. Oh and I didn't get any tickets :<
Great musical talent - deserves legendary status, maybe an eccentric life (I wouldnt put my kids in that position in the first place - parents are to blame whether he gives them Jesus juice or not) but paying over the odds to watch him for 15 minutes do 3 songs? No thanks. He's over 50 - he doesn't have the energy to do a proper performance these days and he'll probably melt under the lights anyway.
I'm sorry but you don't honestly, 100% believe that do you? How many black men have had injuries and had to have reconstructive surgery? Probably many. How many have come out looking whiter than snow? Just MJ To keep it on topic, no I didn't get tickets, I don't mind his music, it's tollerable but I wouldn't pay to see him perform.
seriously get a clue? As mentioned he suffers from vitiligo- I don't know of any surgery that will dramatically change a black man into White like that otherwise. And no he didn't bleach his skin, another media lie.
That's not necessarily a bad thing. You can't possibly hope that the talent will be able to match record quality (what's expected by the fans) vocals, while physically performing at the same time. The average Joe doesn't care whether he actually sings (Nor does he attend Micheal Jackson concerts) but he does expect to hear what he hears on the radio. Gotta give the audience what it wants :/
Ozzie doesn't even try much. Go to an Ozzie concert and he starts singing? and then the arena joins in. Ozzie directing his own fanclub choir. john
I wish I'd have got tickets, waited until a few days before, and pawned them off on ebay for stupid money. Oh well.
People just speculating other people are paedophiles gets people in trouble, makes them lose their job etc. Not the same situation, but even so, bit harsh calling a fella a paedophile when he has gone through all he has and come out not guilty In other news, I couldn't afford tickets
I honestly believe on the second occasion he was being taken for a ride, an easy target, however he went through the court case and was thankfully found innocent. Why then did he not do that the first time round, rather than pay off the family to the tune of several million dollars. Anyway, I think I have taken this thread off track from where it should have been, for fans to discuss his musical talent and whether or not they are going to go see him live. I apologise to all for lowering the tone of this conversation, I should know better.
I dont see this as a farewell tour,just a way to pay his debts off.If your'e daft enough to have bought tickets,good luck to you.
