We have to give the man his due: Michael Jackson was - beyond a shadow of a doubt - a great artist whose recorded legacy will endure for decades, maybe even a century or more. But an examination of his life is riddled with questions of all that might have been; all that should have been. It is more than likely that this was a severely mentally ill human being who never sought the treatment he so desperately needed; surrounded by fawning sycophants who enabled his sickness by constantly reassuring him that he could do no wrong. As John Lennon once said in the same context about Elvis Presley, another victim of the excesses of fame: “It’s always the courtiers that kill the king”.

The sad, inescapable truth is that for reasons we will probably never be able to fully understand, his talent and his career were ultimately wasted. Like Charlie Parker, Montgomery Clift, Judy Garland and Lenny Bruce before him, his brilliance as an artist would be overshadowed by severe, psychological torment and an unexplainable desire for self-destruction. Therein lies the real, unspeakable tragedy of Michael Jackson.

Judah you are a deep man, I read that and was blown away.

damn, Michael had a real problem and giving him more drugs or different ones wasn’t going to help him. He needed help not drugs, but what can you do, as much as I don’t like Joe, if he was there he wouldn’t let any of that shit fly.

Exactly #50 that’s why people must ALWAYS wear the armor of God to shield them from the demons, if not, it makes your spirit vulnerable for the demons to attack…

#52 you’re right MJ did his Godly job by spreading luv for each other globally which is why MJ will forever be missed and appreciated forever…

unfortunately MJ had his personal issues which he was born into and it was a huge challenge to fight them during his walk in life which is why his latter years took the route it did, but the foundation of MJ was LUV for all and MJ will always be missed and his work will forever touch the hearts and soul of mankind…

@ JUDAH

HOW DO YOU KNOW THESE THINGS? WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION FROM?

AND NO TO BE RUDE, BUT YOU SOUND TO OVERLY CONFIDENT WITH YOUR INFORMATION

HOW WAS MICHEAL JACKSON A SATANIST? PLEASE TELL ME?

HE ALWAYS SPOKE OF GOD AND JESUS?

Why are people saying Judah is deep! there is nothing deep about this person!

He is just stating his OPINION just like all of us! what he is saying is not written in stone! people grow up, anything can be a GOD if you worship it! that what makes
people and things look satanic! if you worship something more than you value your
heavenly father, then yes! that is Satanic too me.

Michael has simply made us dance and sing along to his music, No one including Judah knows this man personally! so he can’t say this man was good or bad, because only our father who is the maker of good and evil can make that call!

So on that note, look within yourself and check to see if you worship something or has put something before your heavenly father!

one Luv Kiddo.

So sad what people will do for money.

Now, what the fug was wrong with michael that he could be chock full of tranquilizers and still running around begging for another drug, and another drug, and another drug? You’re talking about a man who was what 120lb max - - he should have been out long before these intraveneous drugs came into play. Now either somebody is LYING about the man having asked for all these drugs, or he was on YET SOMETHING ELSE to get him so juiced up in the first place. This was a 50 year old man that was in very frail condition. He was probably on uppers in the morning and downers in the afternoon and EVERY BODY who had immediate access to him and did NOTHING to curb his addictive and SELF DESTRUCTIVE behavior, is partly responsible for his death. From the so called “Dr.”, to all the celebrity “friends” to the fugging maid. Everybody is always hollering about how they LUUVV them some MJ but NOBODY in all this time, 40 GOD DAMNED YEARS, did anything to help him. Nobody stopped Joe from beating him and his siblings and probably his MOTHER too, Nobody stopped him from DESTROYING his body with plastic surgeries, Nobody stopped him from HATING HIMSELF, Nobody stopped him from creating compromising situations with young boys, Nobody stopped him from OVER DOSING ON DRUGS. I think in fact that nobody loved him at all. Loved the music yes, but the man . . . I don’t think so.

why were the paramedics called over an HOUR after the damn fact?!

WTF wuz he doin in da bathroom 4 ten mins? R.I.P. Michael Jackson

MICHAEL’S REFUSAL TO UNDERSTAND THAT ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT HIS PEOPLE CONTRIBUTED TO HIS DEATH. HE SHOULD HAVE VALUED HIS AMERICAN PEOPLE MORE. WE ARE THE ONES WHO MADE HIM, AND

HIS HUMBLENESS IN THE FACE OF EVIL,

AND HIS LOW SELF ESTEEM EMBOLDENED THIEVES AND HATERS TO STEAL FROM, HURT, AND EVENTUALLY MURDER HIM.

STAND STRONG IN THE FACE OF EVIL. RESIST THEM AND THEY WILL FLEE. ABOVE ALL, UNDERSTAND THAT BEING SELECTIVE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS IS NOT THE EQUIVALENT OF PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION.

THE ILLEGAL ALIEN AFRICAN NANNY SAID THAT MICHAEL KEPT LARGE SUMS OF CASH IN THE HOUSE(MILLIONS), BUT HIS MOTHER COULDN’T FIND ANY OF IT AFTER HIS DEATH. I WONDER IF MICHAEL DISCOVERED HIS MONEY WAS STOLEN BEFORE HE DIED.

I strong agree with #34 to this day I’m still pissed off. That bastard killed the King! *sheds a tear* Rest in paradise MJ x

I agree with #75

When you first heard that 911 call aired on television…how many of us already knew Dr MURRAY was the one responsible for KILLING Michael Jackson. the first thing I said when i saw the Doctor & heard what happened was “This ASS HOLE messed around & killed Michael Jackson!” (those were my words) & that was before MJ’s autopsy was even done. Then I started wondering what the hell was taking the LAPD so damn long to figure out what damn near all of us already suspected happened in the first place. Of course Michael had been dead long before the 911 call was even made. Had this fool used COMMON SENSE, & had he called for some REAL HELP (calling 911, or a HELP CLINIC for INSOMNIAC patients) rather than continuously pumping MJ with all these SEDATIVES one after the other back to back,,,MAYBE just MAYBE MJ would still be ALIVE today!

This man admitted giving all these different POWERFUL SEDATIVES to MJ to the POLICE & says that the TRUTH will prevail. So that further lets you know this MURRAY character is a damn NUT-CASE! Calling for MJ 12 year old son is what got me. You just find the boys father unconscious & not breathing and you are yelling for his son, rather than calling the police? Taking a bathroom break rather than monitoring Michael Jackson (your patient) after pumping the man full of SEDATIVES?

You know who else were ASS HOLES in all of this? The STAFF…everybody coming forth & that came forth after MJ died. How IGNORANT & SIMPLE MINDED can an entire STAFF working for perhaps the MOST FAMOUS CELEBRITY in the whole world be? Everybody trusted this man going in & out of the house, sometimes with OXYGEN TANKS?, the man has MJ hooked up to IV? Are you serious? (No red flags went up in no body head…that aint seem “weird” to anybody? Nobody got a gut feeling or anything about this man? Soon as his face showed on the TV my GUT instinct was that he was NO GOOD! So what the hell was their problem? That NURSE that came foward about MH asking her about the deadly drug…even she didnt feel like calling up members of his family or report that information to the authorities or somebody that could have done something? All of these people speaking out now that MJ is dead & gone.

This is soooooo HORRIBLE. This is GOD AWFUL. That MURAY man needs to be put UNDER THE JAIL. That goes beyond MALPRACTICE what he did to Michael Jackson. He injected that deadly ANESTHESIA into MJ every night for the 6 weeks he worked for him? 6 weeks, then he said he felt he was becoming addicted to it…DO YA THINK DOC? he killed him.

This is some really SAD ShIt! If MJ was an ADDICT or not…it was the DOCTORS obligation, & RESPONSIBILITY to DENY MJ these drugs no matter how much money he was offerring. & Every damn body knew he was already an admitted ADDICT to pain killers. So yeah…this man is going to JAIL & for a very long time. He needs to be arressted already. Thats a damn shame he aint arrested or in custody yet. they going to mess around and a CRAZED Michael Jackson fan is going to KILL his ass (that Doctor Murray), watch what I say. Hell somebody in prison might take that man out too!

TRAGEDY!

Yeah prison is probably the safest place for this fool to be. There is nowhere in the world he could go and hide. MJ was loved everywhere. Sucks to known as the man who killed Michael Jackson! smh.

The love of money is the root of all evil.

I miss you MJ. I had a birthday celebration for you too. RIP We love you and miss you,

Conrad, you gettin all kinds of fcked and beat in JAIL!
