Alright, here is some more food for thought people:
He currently holds the guiness world record for most charitable entertainer, supporting 39 different charities.
He grossed $5 million from his Victory Tour and donated it all to charity.
During his Bad World tour he invited underpriviledged children to watch the concert for free, and donated to hospitals and charities along the way.
His skin condition was real, and he wore gloves to hide it, along with wearing makeup and taking medication for that condition and Lupus, which he also suffered from. Some of the medications made his skin paler.
Here is a picture of him with vitiligo:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Michael_Jackson_gives_autographCropped.jpg
The first kid to accuse MJ of sexual abuse was tape recorded saying this:"If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever.... Michael's career will be over".
The second child who accused him was in the same bed as michael when a close friend of his, Elizabeth Taylor, was in the room. She stated that nothing of a sexual nature ever happened between them.
In addition, if you think the psychological diagnosis is wrong, consider this; his childhood was really terrible, his father would beat him for making mistakes when practising, and verbally abuse him. He would also climb into his windows at night when he left them open while wearing a mask and scare the shit out of his kids just to teach them to close the windows at night.
He started doing solo performances at age 5, toured when he was 8 and started recording when he was 11. When such a significant portion of your childhood is messed up, can you not deny that the condition of a regressed 10 year old is quite possible?
I'm not stating an opinion hear, I'm stating facts. If you care to state information that contradicts what I know then I would be happy to listen, but people are clearly not doing their homework here.
I'm not a huge MJ fan personally, I liked his music and I respect him in that sense, but when he died I decided I should probably do a little research of my own to determine my own opinion, instead of listening to what the general consensus is, which is clearly what alot of you have done.
