My thoughts on MJ's death and life are pretty simple. Not only was he the most gifted singer and performer ever since, even The King, Elvis I have been following him since his beginnings. I am 63 and bought the ABC Album for my young boys. I saw excellence back then. I just want to say He without sin. let them cast the first stone. Were any of us EVER there when all the news media were all over him during the trials? I know I wasn't in his bedroom. He was always known to be shy when not on stage because of his upbringing. He had a very low keyed voice and went through tremendous trials and tribulations in his life but overcame them at least while on stage or in front of a camera. Can we only imagine what he must have been going through. He loved his children dearly and it was always shown how protected he kept them from the public eye. Yes he was eccentric but don't we all have our own way of living our lives. Enough with the judging of a person most of the world really did not know other then his music, dancing and performing. Some people should look in the mirror and take a good look at themselves before judging other people.
